mine are very old models when 18w was fast.
if you can get something from usa, get a good multi port charger from anker or satechi.

this one. plus the gan raegr and another cheapo raegr. what i need is a usb-c charging cable that can lock on to my samsung phone lol. i have tried cleaning up the port and i couldn't take out any lint so not sure why cables are not staying locked. this happens only with charging cables and i have tried a few (baseus, raegr, nothing, anker, amazonbasics). i can probably visit the service center but they would likely suggest changing the usb port. so i am just using qi to charge it lol. with wired, i have to push the cable deep in and keep the phone untouched.
funny enough, this problem does not happen with the OnePlus usb-c earphones i have. it locks great. i might end up getting a oneplus usb-c cable as well to see if their ports are better. but seems unlikely lol. same problem happened with s10 lite after 2 years of use. s21 fe is now in second year.
posting product links has never been a problem here. i just do not like affiliate links coz i create my own and it is the only way this forum makes some money. or short links like the ones Amazon is generating from their share button coz i cannot monetize them automatically.

i don't have gan chargers from Belkin or anker. but i like this one over raegr gan chargers. it has a flat design so it stays hooked to the power strip. and it has three ports which makes it very useful compared to single or dual port chargers. build quality is very good.
this charger is not flat at the pin end so it does not stay stable if you use it on a power strip. with three ports, flat design is very nice to have.
as for heating problems... i am not charging anything that takes in more than 25w so i have never really put these chargers under a lot of pressure. they are mostly used for charging the samsung (25w max), earbuds and power banks. but yes, gan chargers should generally stay cooler than traditional chargers.

I bought the gan by CMF for 1800 , that time Sushubh recommended that and it's pretty good .
and @AAK trust me it holds up pretty well in wall sockets.
I also have a anker Anker Usb C Charger, 735 Charger
got it from usa but it doesnt hold up due to its pin size and is always loose in my wall sockets.
Go for the CMF one its too good.
also i had Belkin 65W GaN Dual USB-C (Type C) PD 3.0 Fast Charger and it was good got it for 2k during sale. never ever it came back for 2k again
@Sushubh I can also feel the cable issue I have to reinsert the cable twice to get the charging 2.0 started dont know why. samsung is shit

my problem is not charging speeds. my problem is that the usb port does not lock into the phone. and i have to push it hard in and leave the phone untouched coz a slight movement would disconnect the connection. i had the same problem on my pixel 2 but it more or less was fixed after cleaning the usb-c port using a sim tool.

their port is faulty , when I went to collect my phone ystd they had 8 phones for replacement of charging ports , its a widespread issue it seems.
