Charge your Note 10+ twice as fast with one of these chargers

The Galaxy Note 10+ is a big upgrade over the Note 9 when it comes to fast charging, jumping from QuickCharge 2.0 to 45W Power Delivery charging. I'm exceedingly happy with this choice for a number of reasons, but the chief among them being that you can use them on a wide, wide variety of devices, including Chromebooks and other USB-C laptops. PD chargers for the Note 10+ need to also carry PPS, and these are the best PPS models we've come across so far, since that particular standard isn't as widely used yet.

First-party fast charger

Samsung 45W USB-C Fast Charging Wall Charger

Staff pick

Samsung's official PD charger is surprisingly compact and surprisingly affordable for a first-party fast charger. Good on you, Samsung, you did good here. It loses a few points for not having folding prongs, but it's still powerful and petit.

Charge everything

AUKEY 74.5W 3-Port Wall Charger with 46W Power Delivery

Why carry multiple chargers when one charger can do it all? This charger from AUKEY offers 46W Power Delivery charging with PPS, a Qualcomm QC 3.0 port, and an extra USB-A port for charging accessories like headphones or power banks.

Value pick

DBPOWER 45W Power Delivery Charger

This charger comes in black or white in 45W and 60W varieties, and both are stated to support PPS, so either model should charger your Note 10+ at top speed for half the cost of the official Samsung charger.

Pre-cabled

ETTECH 65W USB-C AC Adapter

Want to know a fun way to avoid the whole e-marked cable shenaningans? Have the cable be part of the charger itself! This charger is more powerful than we need for a Note 10+ — it's built for laptops — but better to have too much than too little.

Solid and adaptable

SUNLIIK USB Type-C 65W PD Charger

This is another 65W charger designed for laptops, but with PPS and an affordable price, this is a good option for users who like to swap out cables on their chargers based on what they're charging and how far away an outlet is.

Great for Chromebook owners

CHLOLMY 65W USB-C Type-C Power Adapter

This pre-cabled charger is made for Chromebooks, but with PPS, a soft white housing, and half the price of Samsung's charger, this charger should make a good top-speed option in an office or living room where your Note 10+ shares a charger with your laptop.

Mind your PPS and QCs

The beauty of the Note 10+ using Power Delivery charging is that if you pick the right charger, it can charge all of your tech from your phone and laptop to your smaller accessories and speakers. The bad news is that you need to pick your chargers very carefully because the Note 10+ required PPS, not just Power Delivery 3.0.

If you want to keep things simple — and maybe have some promotional credit to spend on Samsung's website — you can't go wrong with the Samsung 45W Charger as far as compact single-port chargers go. If you're looking for a more affordable charger, DBPower's 45W Charger has the PPS standard we need for the Note 10+

On the multi-port hand, having a charger with both USB-C Power Delivery and USB-A fast charging gives you one charger that can quickly charge just about any device you throw at it, past, present, and future. If you specifically need Qualcomm QuickCharge, the AUKEY 74.5W Charger is about as good as it gets, with one PD port, one QC port, plus an extra smart charing USA-port.
