My used Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra did not come with a USB cable.

I wanted to buy a genuine Samsung cable but I also wanted it to be as future-proof as possible.

This lead me down a rabbit hole of different models/part numbers.

So far, I've managed to put this together:

Am I missing any?

Is anyone able to assist in helping me fill in any blank cells?

Counterfeit cables, this seems to be a growing concern for many. I once was able to buy genuine Samsung cables on Amazon and Bestbuy, but now it seems many, particularly their usb a to usb c are being sold as genuine but are delivering counterfeit. I received one such being sold direct from amazon, when I looked at the reviews many are pointing that out as well. Poor quality print, no papers or anything in package, just a tied up cable, qr code is blurred, and cable's markings are different to an original and of course doesn't match the picture on the package.

Has anyone actually found a legitimate option to purchase a real Samsung cable ( such as this that is no longer sold on Samsung's website ) ?

So I have some anker 333 cables that I have had for a few years that always worked fine but now that I have a samsung phone that utilizes what their marketing department terms "super fast charging 2.0," these cables can't do it. It causes a problem where the phone keeps switching between SFC and standard charging every few minutes and this can't be good for the battery. Yes, I have the stock samsung cable that is only 1m long that works fine and is sleeved with some really cheap feeling plastic.

Someone had suggested that if you see a cable being "USB-IF Certified" then it should be fine.

Does anyone know if this is true?

I'm looking at two belkin braided usb-c to usb-c cables. Both are USB-IF certified but one is rated for 240w and is considerably more expensive and the other is rated for 100w.

Supposedly, my phone only pulls 45w (it's an S23 ultra, if that matters).

Does anyone know if either cable will support samsung's super fast charging 2.0

I can dig up the actual product SKU's if it helps.

Thanks.

I've been wondering this for a while. I'm finally seeing the Note 10 devices shipping with USB-C to USB-C, which is great, but this is new for Samsung. Any particular reason they stuck to USB-A charging bricks until now? Is it just that they could accomplish their fast charging needs with it until we moved to 18W plus, which now requires USB-C to USB-C? Or is there another reason? I thought it was weird when I first got my S10+ and it still had a USB-A brick.
