What Samsung Galaxy Phones Need: PPS Explained

Samsung uses a charging protocol called PPS (Programmable Power Supply) for its "Super Fast Charging" feature. This is an extension of the USB-C Power Delivery standard that allows the charger and phone to negotiate the optimal voltage in small increments, reducing heat and maximising efficiency.

The key point: Not all USB-C chargers support PPS. A standard USB-C PD charger (like Apple's) will charge your Samsung, but only at 15W "Fast Charging". To unlock 25W Super Fast Charging (or 45W on Ultra models), your charger must explicitly support PPS.

Quick check: When you plug in your charger, look at your Samsung's lock screen. If it says "Super Fast Charging", your charger supports PPS. If it says "Fast Charging" or "Charging", it doesn't — and you're charging at a slower speed.

Common Samsung Charger Mistakes to Avoid

Buying a charger without PPS

Many "fast chargers" on Amazon support USB-C PD but not PPS. These will charge your Samsung at only 15W instead of 25W. Always check for explicit PPS support in the specs.

Using a cheap cable

Even with a PPS charger, a low-quality cable can limit you to 15W. Use a USB-C cable rated for at least 3A (60W). The cable in your Samsung box supports 25W but not 45W.

Paying full price for Samsung's own charger

Samsung's official 25W charger costs £18 and 45W costs £44. Third-party options from UGREEN (£17.99 for 30W PPS) and Baseus (£22.99 for 45W PPS) deliver identical Super Fast Charging speeds with better build quality and multi-port options.

Samsung Charger FAQs

What charger do I need for my Samsung Galaxy phone?
Most Samsung Galaxy phones (S25, S24, S23, A55, A35) need a USB-C charger with PPS (Programmable Power Supply) support for Super Fast Charging. Galaxy S25 and S24 standard models support 25W, while the S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra support 45W. Any USB-C PD charger will work, but for maximum speed you specifically need one with PPS. A quality 30W–45W USB-C PPS charger from UGREEN or Baseus will fast-charge any Samsung Galaxy phone.
Why does my Samsung say "Charging" instead of "Super Fast Charging"?
If your Samsung shows "Charging" or "Fast Charging" instead of "Super Fast Charging", it means your charger or cable doesn't support PPS (Programmable Power Supply). Standard USB-C PD chargers without PPS max out at 15W "Fast Charging" on Samsung. To get 25W "Super Fast Charging", you need a charger that explicitly supports PPS and a USB-C cable rated for 3A or higher. Check Settings → Battery → Charging to ensure Super Fast Charging is enabled.
Does Samsung come with a charger in the box?
No. Since the Galaxy S21 (2021), Samsung no longer includes a charger in the box — you only get a USB-C to USB-C cable. This applies to all newer models including Galaxy S25, S24, A55, and A35. You'll need to buy a compatible USB-C charger separately. The good news: third-party chargers from brands like UGREEN and Baseus offer better value than Samsung's own 25W (£18) and 45W (£44) chargers while delivering identical speeds.
Is 25W or 45W charging better for my Samsung?
For most people, 25W is perfectly sufficient. The difference between 25W and 45W charging on Samsung is smaller than you'd expect: 25W charges Galaxy S25 Ultra from 0–50% in about 30 minutes, while 45W does it in about 25 minutes — only 5 minutes faster. The 45W charger is most beneficial if you charge from very low (0–30%) frequently. 25W produces less heat, which is better for long-term battery health. Our recommendation: 25W for daily use, 45W only if you regularly need emergency top-ups.
Can I use an iPhone charger for my Samsung Galaxy?
Yes, you can use any USB-C charger with a Samsung Galaxy phone. An Apple 20W or 30W USB-C charger will work and provide "Fast Charging" (up to 15W via standard PD). However, you won't get Samsung's full "Super Fast Charging" speed because Apple chargers don't support PPS. For maximum 25W speed on Samsung, you need a charger with PPS support. Third-party chargers like UGREEN Nexode support both PD and PPS, making them compatible with both iPhone and Samsung at full speed.
What cable do I need for Samsung Super Fast Charging?
You need a USB-C to USB-C cable rated for at least 3A (60W) to enable 25W Super Fast Charging. For 45W charging, you need a 5A (100W) rated cable. The cable that comes in the Samsung box supports 25W but not 45W. Cheap cables may lack the proper wiring for PPS negotiation, causing your phone to fall back to slow 15W charging. Look for cables with E-Marker chips and USB-IF certification for guaranteed compatibility.
