How do you choose a Samsung Galaxy S21 charger?

The Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra don't include a charger, only a USB-C to USB-C cable. If your old charger has a USB-A port, this cable won't fit and you'll need to buy a new cable to charge your device. With the new USB-C charger, it takes 20 to 30 minutes less to charge your device. When you choose an S21 charger, check the following:

• How fast do you want to charge your S21?
• Do you want an extra cable?
• Do you also want to charge wirelessly?

With a Power Delivery charger, you can charge your S21 extra fast. The fastest charger is the 25W Super Fast Charging charger from by Samsung. It allows you to fully charge an empty battery in just over 1 hour. With a Power Delivery charger, your smartphone is fully charged after 1 hour and 30 minutes. That's 1.5 to 2 times faster than with a charger without fast charging.

Buy an extra charger if you don't want to keep lugging your only charger from room to room and home to work. An S21 charger with cable is especially useful when you buy a Power Delivery fast charger. To use that charger, you need a special USB-C fast charging cable. Older chargers, including those from Samsung, usually included a USB-A cable. Chances are that your old cables won't fit on the new fast charger.

With a wireless charger, you can charge your S21 without cables. This prevents your cables from tangling on your desk or bedside table. Especially if you choose a wireless charger that also charges your Samsung Watch and earbuds. Wireless charging is slower than wired charging. With the fastest 15W wireless charger by Samsung, you can charge your S21 in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. With a slower charger, it takes about 3 hours.
