Samsung has followed in the footsteps of Apple and Xiaomi by choosing not to ship the new Galaxy S21 series smartphones without a charger, though it does include a USB cable, unlike the others. Since Samsung knows a number of buyers will be picking up a new charger along with their new phones, it has announced a price cut for its 25W USB-C Wall Charger.
The Samsung 25W USB-C Fast Charging Wall Charger sells for $34.99 but SamMobile has reported Samsung has cut the price down to $19.99. However, when we checked as at the time of writing, the price is still $34.99. We will advise you to exercise some patience if you already planned to purchase the charger before the price cut.
There is no info on if the price cut will happen in other countries and at offline stores. We also do not know if Samsung will be cutting the price of its wireless chargers.

The charger, which comes in black and white color variants, has a USB-C port at the top. It uses Power Delivery, so if you are not picking up any of the Galaxy S21 phones but you have a phone that supports Power Delivery up to 25W, then you may want to pick up this charger too.
All models of the Galaxy S21 series max out at 25W which is disappointing considering that we now have phones that support 120W fast charging and Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 5 technology brings 100+W fast charging to compatible devices. It must also be disappointing to those who own the Galaxy S20 Ultra which supports 45W fast charging and hoped that its successor will have faster charging and not a slower one.
