Many Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra owners in Pakistan are unknowingly bottlenecking their own charger — not because of the charger itself, but because of the cable connecting it.
The Real Bottleneck: E-Marker Chips
A cable capable of carrying 45W needs an E-Marker chip — a small component that tells the charger and phone how much current the cable can safely handle. Without it, the connection defaults to a lower, safer speed regardless of what your charger and phone are actually capable of.
How to Tell If Your Cable Has One
Most standard or budget USB-C cables don't advertise E-Marker support because they simply don't have it — look specifically for a 5A current rating or explicit "E-Marker" mention on genuine high-wattage cables.
A Simple Test
If your Galaxy phone doesn't show the "Super Fast Charging" indicator with your current cable and a genuine 45W charger, the cable is very likely your bottleneck — swapping to a proper 5A cable often resolves it immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my cable is limiting my charging speed?
Check whether your phone shows a "Super Fast Charging" or similar indicator — if it shows standard charging despite using a 45W charger, the cable is a likely culprit.
Can a bad cable damage my phone or charger?
Generally not, but it will limit charging speed well below what your hardware is actually capable of.
