Best 45W chargers for the Samsung Galaxy S22+ & S22 Ultra in 2024
These chargers can take your Galaxy S22 Ultra from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes
Like all of the best Samsung phones available today, the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the S22+ come with a charging cable, but no charger. That's not such a bad thing: the in-box charger certainly would have been a 25W charger instead of something compatible with the top charging speed of 45W available on the S22+ and S22 Ultra.

These are the chargers you need to top-up your shiny new gadgets

The good news is that Amazon has heavily discounted some of our favorite wall chargers, power strips, and power banks, making it a good time to pick one up.

The Pixel 5a is the last Google phone that will come with a charger in the box
Do you really need another power brick with your next phone? Google, following in the footsteps of Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi, thinks that you don't. The company has announced that the Pixel 5a, just announced (and reviewed!) today, is the last Pixel phone that will come with a charger in the box.
Having two USB-C phones and a MacBook Pro means I can use a single charger to power them all up. However, my laptop's wall charger is relatively bulky, and there are times when I'd rather not carry it around. Thankfully, I just found the perfect deal: RAVPower's small USB-C PD wall chargers are down to $29 and $30 on Amazon, depending on the number of ports.

There is no doubt that this BESTEK Snail USB Charger is absolutely adorable, but it is also very beneficial. So if you require a few more accessible USB ports on your work desk or out in the field with your laptop but aren't thrilled with the usual boring designs available in most stores, then I have a feeling this Snail USB Charger might be precisely what you have been looking for. This is why I'm excited to announce that AP and BESTEK have teamed up to give away 40 of them, and there is even a 40% off coupon available in the text below for every single one of you who would like to purchase one outright.
I reviewed Aukey's lineup of chargers a couple months ago and overall, I liked them. They are solid, affordable, and work well. My only qualm with them was that they were not capable of rapid charging my Nexus 6P. Well, Aukey has some new chargers out now that solve that issue. They sent me three to check out and I'm happy to report that they work great with QC devices and the new crop of Nexus phones alike.All three chargers sport one USB Type-C port that is compatible with Nexus phones and QC 3.0 devices, the other ports are 2.4A adaptive ports that will work just fine to juice up your other gear. It would be nice if the other USB ports had QC support as well, but hey, one is better than none! To celebrate the arrival of their new products, Aukey sent me some coupon codes to share with you, our readers, so here you go guys – enjoy!
I'm not even a particularly big Starcraft fan, but I kind of really really want this light-up Protoss pylon USB charger a lot. It has all the key features of an excellent novelty USB charger: pretty lights and a reference I get. And Protoss pylons are just kind of cool looking. The only image does appear to maybe be a render - or at the least, a generously edited photo - so buyer beware on the actual quality of the product here, because it doesn't have any reviews yet.
Multi-port USB wall charging stations are my favorite new gadgets that I have purchased in the past year. Instead of having to charge devices throughout the house with individual chargers and a tangled nest of cords, I can now charge everything on my kitchen counter, or at my bedside. Beautiful.We frequently post deals for five port chargers, but they almost never come with MicroUSB cables, leaving you to scrounge up your own, or make another purchase. Today's deal, however, is the complete package. Right now on Amazon, if you purchase an Aukey 5 port 50W/10A charger and a five pack of Auckey 20AWG MicroUSB cables in the same transaction, the cables are included for free – a $9 savings.The charging station is not Quick Charge 2.0 compatible like Aukey's higher end unit, but the 2.4A per port will still charge devices at a reasonable rate. The charger is well rated with 4.6 stars, and both the charger and cords are backed by an 18 month warranty. The pack of cords includes 3x 3.3ft cables and 2x 1ft cables.With the lack of QC speeds, this may not be your primary charger. That being said, it could be a great holiday gift, travel charger, or make you the most popular guy at work if you left one in the break room for community use.To get the cables free, you need to have both items in your cart at checkout. When you're ready to make your purchase enter the code OUNEZF8T to drop the total price by 9 bucks to $14.99. I have an older version of this charger on my kitchen counter right now, and it is still going strong after almost a year. I highly recommend it.
The Anker 5-port USB charger is a way to take that cluster of chargers that's turning the power strip behind your sofa into a fire hazard and consolidate it down into something manageable. With enough ports to charge five devices at once, you're also freeing up much-needed power outlets.Last year this hub was available for $16 on Amazon if you used a coupon code that dropped the price down from $20. Those of you who meander over to the device's page today may find that it's gone down a bit since then. That's right, now it's only $12. And no, you don't need to fumble with any promotional codes.So if you're looking for a wall charger with ports for the iPad (2.1), iPhone (1A), Samsung Galaxy Tab (1.3A), and general Android devices (1A), this is a good one to get. It's available in your choice of black or white.Source: Amazon
If you're a regular person, you might have a single phone that you can easily charge through the USB port on the side of your laptop. Maybe you have a tablet that just so happened to die at around the same time. You don't feel like getting up, so you plug it into your other USB port, and that is that.But if Android devices mean a bit more to you. You read the blogs. You write for blogs. You develop apps. For whatever reason, you need to have a plethora of devices lined up beside you at your desk with a working charge. For you, there's the Choetech 10A 6-port USB rapid charger that's currently priced on Amazon at , but you can lower it down to $17 by entering a coupon code at checkout.

Ah, the great outdoors. With summer in full swing here in America, many of you are probably taking part in one of our nation's great pastimes, camping. Some of you may be purists who believe that camping is a great opportunity to leave the hectic world behind, including your phone, tablet, and other gadgets. The other 99 percent of you have a hard time deciding whether to bring two more bags of beef jerky or an extra 10,000 mAh battery in your backpack.For those of you who like your camping with a side of tech, we have a good deal for you today. Amazon has the highly rated VISNIC 22W dual port portable solar charger $10 off today, bringing the total down to $59.90.

Do you have as many gadgets as you have fingers and struggle to charge them all at once? Well then, this is the deal you have been waiting for. Amazon has a pretty sweet promotion going on for the Sabrent 10-Port USB Charger.If you purchase one today for $25 you will also get a six pack of highly rated Micro-USB cables thrown in for free.

There are so many gadgets nowadays that charge via USB that having a separate AC outlet dedicated to each one can be difficult, if not impossible. A multi-port hub can definitely solve this problem, though. Personally, I have a 5-port charger on my living room table where I have my G Watch's charging connector, a microUSB cord for my phones, and the cable to charge the heart rate strap I use during workouts all in one place. This deal on an ORICO 5-port hub for $10.99 might be just the reason you need to streamline your charging game.
Multi-port USB chargers are my favorite new gadget accessory. I have a couple five port chargers in my house right now, and they have become my new go-to birthday / wedding / housewarming / bachelorette party gift as they are pretty cheap and universally well received.The last one I bought a couple months back cost about $25 dollars, but today on Amazon you can pick up the Poweradd 50W 6 port USB charger for just $15.99 after entering a coupon code ($4 off the normal price).
There's only so much you can plug into a wall socket at one time. It's pretty easy math: each one can hold one plug, though there are ways to twist this math to your favor. You could always get a surge protector, but if you're looking to provide power to things that all rely on USB, you might want something that takes up less space.With a Vority 6-port charger, you can provide power to up to six devices from a single power outlet. The USB hub is small enough to fit at the back of a desk or on top of a PC tower.
Gadget lovers tend to accrue all kinds of electronic detritus on their desks, night tables, coffee tables, and any other flat surface where you can put down a tablet. And for keeping that detritus charged, there's nothing more convenient than a USB outlet adapter... except an adaptor with more than one USB port. If you find yourself short of places to plug in, Amazon is offering a Volmate 5-port charger for just .49 after a coupon. It's not quite as cheap as a song, but it's close.
If you want to charge all the things in one spot, you're probably going to need more USB ports. Today we've come across an Anker 40W USB charging station rocking five of them. We previously pointed one of these out back at the beginning of this year, and this model is just like that one, only better. Rather than 25W, we're looking at 40.Since this model spits out more juice, the price is slightly higher. Instead of $19.99, it's going for .99. But there's a way to bring that number right back down to 20 bucks. Just enter the coupon code 20DF7105 at checkout to knock $6 off the price.
Like most technology blogs, Android Police is decentralized. Our writers and editors work out of their homes, and occasionally in hotels, bars, or under bridges. We have no traditional office. But if we did, the Yubi 40-port USB Power Tower would sit proud in the middle, like some kind of plastic altar to electricity. We would come, bow down to the Tower, offer up our unworthy phones and tablets, and humbly take our blessings of sweet, sweet gadget juice.
Update: The coupon code has already expired. Sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
