Does Samsung Fast charging work with any cable?
Tl;DR: Yes you can use any cable, but no cheaper ones probably won’t turbo charge. It depends on the kind of Samsung phone, or more specifically, the kind of fast charging it can do. Keep in mind that the actual “charger” is in your phone, and it’s pretty smart.
Are data and charging cables different?
Basically, the two types of cables can be distinguished by the fact that the charging cable can be used to charge the battery, while the data cable can be used to transfer files. As a rule, a device can also be charged with a data cable. However, pure charging cables are often not suitable for transferring data.
Is it safe to use another USB cable for charging?
In short, no: You can plug any USB device into any USB cable and into any USB port, and nothing will explode — and in fact, using a more powerful charger should speed up battery charging. If you have a modern USB device, you should be able to plug into a high-amperage USB port and enjoy faster charging.
Does it matter what charging cable I use?
The better the cable conductivity, the more current it will be able to pass. Nowadays, you can find data cables better than the ones provided with your smartphone. There is no harm in using a different brand cable with your charger. Just make sure the current and voltages are the same and the phone is fast charging.
Do I need a different cable for fast charging?
Do I need any specific equipment for fast charge? Fast charge requires 3 components – a compatible phone/tablet/laptop or other device, a charger that supports USB Fast charge, and a compatible cable. The cable will have USB-C at least on the charger end, and either USB-C or Apple Lightning on the device end.
Are all Samsung Chargers the same?

Can I use data cable for charging?
To put it simply: the data cable can be used as a charging line, while the charging line cannot be used as a data cable.
Is a data cable the same as a phone cable?
The current standards for data cable are CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6, and CAT6A. They also make great phone cable. As you go up in category, the cable gets better through either thicker wire and/or tighter twists that reduce interference. That helps with data transmissions and doesn’t hurt when it is used as phone wire.
Can I charge my phone with different cable?
Yes, you can use a non-standard charger or data cable to charge your phone.
Can I use any cable with fast charger?
All standardish cables are capable of fast charge, just if they are 28 or thinner they will heat up and be possibly unsafe. Fast charge in most cases is just an increased amperage that the charger and phone agree to.
What kind of Charger do I need for my Samsung Galaxy?

Is my USB cable charge-only or data-transfer?
Because the USB Implementers Forum doesn’t have any rule enforcing USB manufacturers to label or differentiate charge-only cables from data-transfer cables, it is almost impossible to tell them apart. However, there are still some proven ways to find out if a USB cable is charge-only or supports data transfer.
