USB-C charger compatibility: iPhone 16, Galaxy S24 and Pixel 9

Three documented phone and charger combinations, the cable and PPS checks that matter, and when keeping your existing USB-C charger makes more sense.

Keep a compatible charger that already gets your phone ready when you need it. If you need a replacement, the Anker Nano 45W A2692, also sold in the B2692 cable bundle, is a documented candidate for the three phones below. That does not make it an automatic speed upgrade.

This article checks published specifications, reviewed on 3 November 2026. We have not measured these combinations ourselves. Manufacturer charging benchmarks, compatibility statements and our buying advice are identified separately. The scope is wired USB-C charging of the standard iPhone 16, Galaxy S24 and Pixel 9.

The three combinations at a glance

Anker’s compatibility and output documentation lists iPhone 16, the Galaxy S24 series and Pixel 9. The table turns that manufacturer compatibility statement into a purchase decision; it is not a ranking of measured performance.

Exact phone and charger pairStart by checkingWhen keeping your charger makes sense
iPhone 16 + Anker A2692USB Power Delivery and the USB-C cableYour current setup reliably meets your charging schedule
Galaxy S24 + Anker A2692PPS support and the base S24’s requirementsYou already have a suitable Samsung or equivalent PPS adapter
Pixel 9 + Anker A2692PPS support and the adapter’s documented outputYour existing compatible adapter provides the top-ups you need

“Compatible” answers whether the named manufacturer supports the pairing. It does not establish the highest power your particular phone will draw, how long that power lasts, or a full-charge time. A useful purchase needs both a supported combination and a reason to replace what you own.

Identify the charger before comparing it

The model checked here is A2692, with the cable package identified as B2692. Match that identifier and the plug in the retailer listing: “Nano 45W” alone is not enough. Anker has an EU product listing; its German bundle specifications identify B2692 and the associated A2692 documentation.

The published output includes 9V/3A USB-PD and PPS 5–11V/5A, capped at 45W. Those are supported output profiles, not a promise that every phone receives those values. Anker’s specifications are the basis for that distinction.

This is a single USB-C port charger. It is therefore a candidate for charging one of these phones at a time. If your aim is a desk charger for several devices simultaneously, choose from documented multiport models instead.

1. iPhone 16 + Anker A2692

Apple gives a wired benchmark of up to half a charge in 30 minutes using a 20W or higher adapter and a USB-C cable. Apple’s iPhone 16 specifications describe that benchmark; it is not a FixIndex result for the Anker.

Apple also accepts a comparable third-party adapter supporting USB Power Delivery, with the appropriate USB-C cable. Apple’s fast-charging guidance establishes the protocol requirement.

Our decision: keep an existing Apple 20W adapter, or a suitable USB-PD alternative, if it already suits your routine. Consider the A2692 when a charger is missing, you need another charging location, or its documented compatibility fits your household.

Do not buy it simply to turn “20W” into “45W” on the box. The evidence here does not establish how much time that change saves. Decide whether a faster short top-up would actually help before paying for one. See the iPhone 16 model page for the wider ownership decision.

2. Galaxy S24 + Anker A2692

This card concerns the base Galaxy S24. Samsung documents that model with a 25W adapter and 3A USB-C cable; its S24+ configuration uses 45W and a 5A cable. Keep those model-specific requirements separate. Samsung’s S24 specifications provide the comparison.

Samsung’s Super Fast Charging guidance also calls for USB-PD PPS support. A large wattage label alone does not establish that capability. Samsung’s charging guide explains the protocol and cable checks.

Our decision: keep a suitable 25W Samsung charger or an equivalent documented PPS setup that works for you. The A2692 is an alternative when replacement is justified; the pairing does not turn the base S24 into a 45W phone.

There is also no reason, from the base S24 requirement above, to replace a suitable 3A cable solely to obtain a 5A label. If a retailer advertises “for S24”, check whether the claim refers to this phone or a different member of the range. Our Galaxy S24 page keeps the model identity clear.

3. Pixel 9 + Anker A2692

Google specifies up to 27W wired charging for Pixel 9 based on testing with the Google 45W USB-C Charger. Google’s hardware specifications are explicit about that reference adapter.

Google’s charging guidance accepts PPS adapters rated at least 30W, as well as other supported charging options. The A2692’s published PPS capability puts it in that stated category; this is a specification-based inference alongside Anker’s compatibility listing. Google’s charging guide supplies the requirement.

Our decision: retain an adequate existing PPS adapter. Consider a replacement if you lack a suitable one or need another location. Google’s own reference charger remains an alternative to compare.

We do not claim that A2692 reproduces Google’s benchmark in every circumstance. Google’s hardware guidance identifies battery age, use during charging and ambient temperature as relevant variables. A charger purchase should solve an actual inconvenience, not merely increase the printed wattage. Check the Pixel 9 model page for the rest of the ownership picture.

Check the complete setup before ordering

Use these four checks to turn a product listing into a decision:

  1. Write down the exact models. Record your phone, the adapter code and the retailer’s selected variant. A family name is an invitation to compare the wrong specification.
  2. Check the cable package. Confirm whether a cable is included and whether an existing cable meets the phone’s requirements. Buy a missing or unsuitable component instead of automatically replacing everything.
  3. For multiport alternatives, read the allocation table. Look for the output available with your intended combination of ports occupied. Anker’s shared-power guidance notes that using additional ports can reduce the power available to a phone. A headline total is insufficient.
  4. Compare the delivered package. Check the appropriate EU plug, cable contents, final checkout total and seller terms. We have not verified current stock, local delivery or prices in this article.

If charging has become unreliable, first compare the setup with the phone maker’s troubleshooting guidance. A new adapter is a sensible purchase only when you have a reason to believe it solves the problem.

If you do need to shop, our USB-C charger buying notes include a marked Anker affiliate route. FixIndex may earn commission from qualifying purchases through marked links, as explained in our affiliate disclosure.

Our recommendation remains to keep an adequate charger. Compare the exact model and complete package wherever you buy; a commission is not evidence of better compatibility, faster charging or better value. This article adds specific model checks to the buying notes so that a purchase, when necessary, has a clear reason behind it.
