Samsung’s Super Fast Charging relies on a USB Power Delivery (PD) specification called PPS. Unlike proprietary fast charging tech, like the Warp Charging in OnePlus devices, PPS is open for any manufacturer to use, but only Samsung seems to be using it widely.
Many USB-C Power Delivery chargers, however, don’t include PPS support, limiting their effectiveness when combined with Galaxy phones. And since Galaxy buyers aren’t getting chargers in the box anymore, accessory makers like Anker can opportunistically swoop in with an offer for buyers needing a new wall wart.
@jeder they can't force you to do anything, it still works, it just won't charge as fast (and as someone who has boring 18W fast charging, who gives a shit, that's plenty fast already)
@novenary yes but the whole selling point of usb pd is that you would have blanket support for fast charging on everything that does usb pd, while samsung does this shit, that is supporting some specific set that no one else supports
