Stuffcool is an Indian brand known for its charging cables and mobile chargers. It has introduced its latest 25-watt PD PPS (Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply) capable fast wall charger called Flow 25 in India. The Flow 25 comes with dual ports, one being a 25-watt PD and PPS USB Type-C port, while the other one is an 18-watt QC (Quick Charge) 3.0 port. The company says this charger would be perfect for most recent smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Samsung Galaxy S22 series, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, iPhones, iPads, and other flagship devices.

Why Should You Opt For The USB Power Delivery PPS Chargers?
Every Android smartphone maker has its own version of the fast charger, while the iPhones use their own proprietary ports and connectors. Identifying a compatible aftermarket charger for these devices would be a daunting task. Thus, the USB PD was developed as a common charging specification to support a wide range of USB devices. This makes it easy to shop for chargers and also allows you to carry a single charger for multiple devices. Moreover, some flagship smartphones don’t come bundled with chargers nowadays, and that’s where the aftermarket USB PD chargers make a strong case for themselves.
USB PD is also much more powerful than the normal USB Type-C port. It delivers up to 100-watt of power output, which can even charge your laptops. The new USB PD PPS (Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply) takes it even further by offering optimised charging solutions by varying the voltages suitable for the device connected. This makes the USB PD PPS solution better suited for fast charging when compared to the standard USB PD specification.
The Flow 25 would be apt for smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 series and the standard Samsung Galaxy S22, which are built to support 25-watt USB PD PPS. Using a normal USB PD charger with the Galaxy S21 will charge it at a slower 18-watt rate. The company says that the Flow 25 is the only Indian-made 25-watt PPS charger currently in the market. That’s not all, the Flow 25 charger comes with a six-layer safety protection and is BIS certified. The inbuilt Auto Detect IC ensures only the necessary power output is delivered to the connected device.
The Stuffcool Flow 25 with 25W USB PD PPS is priced at ₹1,399. It is available for purchase via Stuffcool’s website and Flipkart. If you need a higher 65-watt PD PPS charger for the likes of MacBook Pro 13/16-inch, Samsung Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra, then Stuffcool also sells the Napoleon PD65W Dual USB GaN wall charger for ₹3,699.
