Samsung Galaxy phones remain among the most feature-rich Android devices on the market. They offer polished software, high-end hardware, long update commitments, and broad accessory ecosystems. Yet the unboxing experience has become noticeably minimal. Buyers often receive only a USB-C to USB-C cable, with no charging brick, no protective case, and no pre-installed screen protector. That shift has made third-party accessories more important than ever. Anker has become a go-to brand for many Samsung owners because it combines dependable engineering with prices that undercut many first-party options. The following five accessories can upgrade a Galaxy phone or tablet by improving charging speed, adding ports, simplifying wireless power, or delivering better audio.

Key Facts

• Samsung no longer bundles a wall charger or case with many Galaxy phones.
• Anker accessories often cost less than comparable first-party Samsung options.
• The five picks cover fast charging, backup power, USB-C expansion, wireless charging, and over-ear audio.
• Prices range from about $25 to $200.
• Compatibility depends on USB-C standards, Samsung charging protocols, Qi wireless charging, and Bluetooth codecs.

Anker 715 Charger

The Anker 715 Charger, also known as the Nano II 65W, is a compact gallium nitride wall adapter that retails for around $30. Gallium nitride, often shortened to GaN, allows chargers to be smaller and cooler than traditional silicon-based adapters. The 715 has a single USB-C port, and it can power everything from wireless headphones to tablets to many laptops. For Samsung phones, 65W output is substantial. It gives compatible Galaxy devices access to much faster charging than a basic adapter can provide. Anker does not officially claim Super Fast Charging 2.0 support for this model, but multiple buyers have reported that it works with Super Fast Charging 3.0, which is Samsung's latest charging protocol. If you own a Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Anker 715 Charger can take advantage of the phone's charging speeds of up to 60W. That translates to less time tethered to a wall and more time using the device.

Because Samsung includes a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, the Anker 715 is a natural match for recent Galaxy phones. Older USB-A charging adapters may still work, but they often cannot deliver the same speed and may require a different cable. If you carry a Samsung tablet and a Galaxy Watch with its charging puck, Anker also offers multi-port fast charging wall adapters that can power several devices at once. The key is to use a USB-C cable that supports the same fast charging technology as your Samsung device. That requirement can be confusing, but it is essential for getting the expected performance.

Anker Nano Power Bank

Anker has an expansive catalog of power banks. Some are compact and ideal for smartphones or smaller accessories, while others pack enough capacity and power output to handle larger devices like laptops. The Anker Nano Power Bank is designed around portability and ease of use. It is small enough to fit in a pocket and comes with a built-in USB-C connector that slots directly into your phone without a cable. It is about as wide as a regular smartphone, which makes it easier to use your phone without feeling like a bulky power source is attached.

It is a 5,000 mAh power bank that can deliver up to 22.5W. You cannot expect it to fully charge most modern Samsung phones, which often have batteries of similar capacity, but it should provide enough juice to get you through the rest of the day. The power bank is not exclusively made for Samsung phones. You can plug it into most Android and iOS devices as long as the USB-C connector fits without being obstructed by a thick case. The Anker Nano Power Bank also features an additional USB-C port so you can connect an extra device when needed. It is priced at around $27 and comes in several pastel colorways. For commuters, travelers, and anyone who spends long days away from an outlet, it is a simple way to avoid a dead battery.

Anker USB-C Hub

Most people use their phones as communication or entertainment devices with apps like Instagram or Netflix. But modern smartphones are built to handle much more, especially given how powerful their chipsets have become. Apart from playing console-quality titles natively, many high-end Android smartphones can handle workloads that would traditionally require a laptop. Making the most of your Samsung phone's USB-C port is a great way to unlock that potential.

With an appropriate dongle, you can hook up peripherals like a keyboard or mouse directly to your phone. Android does not require additional setup to get these accessories working. If you have more than one device to connect, the $26 Anker USB-C Hub expands your Samsung phone's single USB-C port into two USB-A data ports, one USB-C data port, and one USB-C Power Delivery input. You also get a full-size HDMI output in addition to SD and microSD card slots. That combination turns a phone into a small workstation. If you have not explored Samsung DeX yet, it takes the experience further by allowing you to connect a compatible phone or tablet to an external monitor. With a USB-C hub accommodating other accessories, your Samsung device could effectively become the brain of a portable desktop setup. There is support for pass-through charging as well, which ensures your phone does not slowly drain its battery trying to power all the peripherals connected to it. Other devices you can use with your phone's USB-C port include external storage drives and microphones.

Anker 313 Wireless Charger

Samsung phones have featured support for wireless charging for over a decade. All current-generation Galaxy S phones offer the functionality, and even Samsung's foldables come with wireless charging. Though wired charging remains the faster option if you are in a hurry, it is tough to beat the convenience that a wireless charging pad next to your nightstand or work desk provides. The Anker 313 Wireless Charger is a simple accessory that covers this basic need, and at $25.49, it undercuts Samsung's own options by quite a bit.

It can charge compatible Samsung smartphones at up to 10W. Since the stand props the device up at an angle, it can be used during video calls or while watching videos. Although modern Samsung Galaxy phones in the S25 and S26 series support Qi2 wireless charging, they do not come with built-in magnets. This means that many Anker MagSafe accessories will not work with your device unless you are using a phone case that adds this support. Keep this in mind when shopping for a wireless charger. The Anker 313 Wireless Charger also comes in a charging pad version if you prefer having your phone lie flat while it charges. Since you can freely move around and line up devices on the pad, it can also charge true wireless earbuds, which is something you might not be able to achieve on a vertical charging stand.

Soundcore Space One Pro

A pair of headphones might be stretching the definition of a smartphone accessory a little, but if you are on the lookout for one anyway, the Soundcore Space One Pro might be worth taking a look at. Soundcore is one of many brands owned by Anker, and it specializes in audio accessories ranging from true wireless earbuds to boomboxes. Although Samsung sells several true wireless earbuds, it does not currently sell any over-ear options. At $200, the Space One Pro by Soundcore aims to deliver a premium listening experience.

They feature triple-composite drivers with a total of six microphones for a jet-noise-silenced ANC experience, as Soundcore calls it. The headphones tout a battery life of up to 40 hours with ANC on and up to 60 hours with it turned off. They also feature a foldable design that makes them easier to carry around. There is support for Bluetooth multipoint pairing, too. You can install Soundcore's companion app on your phone to tweak the EQ, carry out an audiogram test, or update the headphones' firmware. The Soundcore Space One Pro supports Hi-Res wireless audio through the LDAC standard that many modern Samsung phones support. Though LDAC is a lossy audio codec, it pushes the ceiling much higher than the more common Bluetooth codecs like AAC and SBC, supporting audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. That is well above CD quality and should accommodate high-resolution tracks.

Compatibility And Buying Considerations

Choosing the right Anker accessory for a Samsung device comes down to understanding a few standards. Fast charging on recent Galaxy phones depends on USB Power Delivery and Samsung's own Super Fast Charging protocols. A charger may advertise 65W, but the phone will only draw the power profile it supports. Similarly, a USB-C hub must support DisplayPort Alt Mode to carry video to an external monitor for DeX. Not every USB-C hub does, so checking specifications is important. Wireless charging is another area where standards matter. Qi charging works broadly, but Qi2 adds magnetic alignment. Since many Galaxy phones lack built-in magnets, magnetic accessories may require a compatible case. For audio, Bluetooth codecs determine sound quality. AAC and SBC are common, while LDAC offers higher bitrates for compatible Android devices. Samsung phones often support LDAC, making the Soundcore Space One Pro a better fit for listeners who want higher-resolution streaming. Anker's range covers these needs without forcing buyers to pay first-party prices. The 715 Charger is the fastest way to improve daily charging, the Nano Power Bank handles top-ups on the go, the USB-C Hub expands productivity, the 313 Wireless Charger simplifies desk and bedside charging, and the Soundcore Space One Pro delivers over-ear audio with long battery life and high-resolution codec support.
