Does anybody know if the cable that comes with the s24 a 5a? I am thinking of getting Samsung's 45w power block but apparently it needs a 5a cable to enable the s24 ultras full charging potential, but I'm unsure if the cable that comes with the phone is 5a, or if I'd have to buy another cable.

My girlfriends S22 Ultra charges around 1 and a half, sometimes less, I normally use my wireless charger over night unless I have to be somewhere in an hour, I have a S23 Ultra tho, this 45 watt on my phone does around 21 watts

The biggest benefit of the 45W chargers is to get a quick boost when your phone is below 20%. After a pretty short while charging at the higher wattage the phone will get warm and then charging slows down. If you want to maximize charging speed you need to keep the phone cool, so take it out of any case to allow the heat to escape.

Honestly, while I have several chargers that can support super fast 45W charging I really do not think it is really worth it. If you want to see for yourself get a charging cable that displays the wattage. The amount of time the phone accepts anything over 25W is very little.

Go with Anker all you need is a 30w GaN charger and use cable you have it's fast and smaller and cheaper
