Before shopping, it’s important to understand and differentiate between the two pieces that come together to deliver a charge to your phone. The charging cable, that is bundled with your phone is what connects it to the power adapter that plugs into your wall. Nearly every Samsung smartphone from the past five years has a USB-C port, meaning you’ll need a cable that has a Type-C male connector on one end and USB-A on the other. Samsung’s costliest offerings ship with a USB-C to USB-C cable, so if you plan on using that, you need to narrow your search for a compatible power adapter.
Wall adapters come in many shapes and sizes and the bigger ones usually offer faster charging. Also, be sure to check the output plug to make sure it matches the wall outlets in your country of residence. With the right combination of a charging cable and a wall adapter, you’ll be able to safely charge your Samsung phone.
