Introduction
In today’s fast-paced world, a reliable fast charger is essential. I recently had the opportunity to test the Samsung 25W USB-C Super Fast Charging Travel Adapter (Model Numbers: EP-TA800NBEGGB/EP-TA800NBEGWW, EP-TA800NBEGEU), and I’m eager to share my experience. This review delves into its performance, features, and overall value, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of what this charger offers.
Features
The Samsung 25W adapter boasts several key features. Its primary selling point is the 25W USB-C Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 with Programmable Power Supply (PPS) support, promising significantly faster charging speeds compared to standard chargers. The compact design makes it ideal for travel, and the black finish gives it a sleek, professional look. While a cable is sold separately, its compatibility with various devices is a significant advantage.
Performance
I tested the charger with several devices, including a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and a Google Pixel 6 Pro. In both cases, the charging speeds were noticeably faster than with my older 15W charger. The Samsung phone charged remarkably quickly, reaching a significant percentage in a short time. The Pixel 6 Pro also experienced a noticeable speed boost. The charger remained cool to the touch even during extended use, a testament to its efficient design. I did not experience any overheating issues, even after charging multiple devices consecutively. One minor observation is that the charging speed was slightly slower in charging lower-power devices; however, this is expected and not a significant issue.
