Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 devices support fast, super fast, and wireless charging.

To use fast charging, a charging cable is required that supports adaptive fast charging with a capacity of 25W for Galaxy S22/S23 (battery capacity 3700mAh) and 45W for the Galaxy S22+/S23+ and Galaxy S22/S23 Ultra (battery capacity 4500-5000mAh).

To use super-fast charging, a charging cable that supports adaptive fast charging with a capacity of 45W is required - 45W TA + 5A cable (E-marked). You will also need a 45W Travel Adapter. Super fast charging cannot be performed using standard chargers. We recommend using the USB Type-C, 5A charging cable that comes with the 45W charger.

You can purchase a travel adapter on the Samsung website
