The Samsung Galaxy S23 doesn’t break the mold; it offers the usual spec upgrade, but the excitement around new models seems to be dwindling. These days, improvements are incremental, though you’re still getting top-tier tech with an outstanding design and exceptional speed. However, the battery capacity across different S23 models and their need for fast charging is drawing attention this year.

The standard S23 supports 25W fast charging, while the S23 Plus and Ultra can handle 45W. Considering the larger batteries to compensate for increased power consumption, a robust fast charger becomes essential for these phones. So, let’s dive into the chargers compatible with the Galaxy S23, encompassing everything from wall units to power banks and car chargers.

VOLTME 140W PD 3.1 3 Port USB-C Wall Charger

The VOLTME 140W PD 3.1 3 Port USB-C Wall Charger starts our list with impressive specs. It’s not the cheapest, but if you’re charging multiple devices, including USB-C laptops, this powerhouse suits almost all your gadgets. It can deliver up to 140W, enough to fast charge your S23 models using either of its USB-C ports, both equipped with PPS for super fast charging. The charger maintains considerable power even when fully occupied, ensuring efficient charging for your phone and other devices. Its GaN III technology keeps it compact despite its high output, making it an excellent all-rounder. In reviewing the VOLTME 140W charger, I could charge a power bank at 65W, fast charge my Lenovo laptop, and fast charge my phone simultaneously.

UGREEN Nexode 45W Dual USB-C PD Wall Charger

Next up, the UGREEN Nexode 45W Dual USB-C PD Wall Charger, smaller in size and port number, is perfect for fast charging your S23 and another device. It maxes out at 45W, with dual charging having a 25W and 20W power split; the first device you plug in will get the 25W charge rate, while the second will get 20W. So it’s best to charge your Galaxy S23 alone from this UGREEN 45W charger for maximum charging power, but dual charging can also deliver a decent speed. In my review of the UGREEN 45W charger, I could fast charge my Lenovo laptop alone and still charge it at a lower speed during dual charging while also fast charging my Note 9.
