The Galaxy S23 series will offer a lot, but why not pair your new purchase with some new accessories to get the most out of it?

Samsung's 2023 flagships have been on sale for a few months now, and it's currently offering some amazing deals on all three devices. Whether you go with the base Galaxy S23, the mid-range Galaxy S23+, or the top-of-the-line Galaxy S23 Ultra, you can rest assured that you're getting one of the year's best phones. All three devices bring noteworthy improvements to the table, including the latest Qualcomm flagship SoC, gorgeous displays, impressive cameras, and more.

While the Galaxy S23 series devices might seem complete on their own, there are a few things you won't get with the devices. For example, Samsung doesn't bundle a case with the phones and no longer offers a charging brick or earbuds in the box. You'll likely need a few accessories to make the most of your new phone. We've rounded up a list of the best chargers, cables, and accessories for the Galaxy S23 series to help you do so.

This 25W charging brick from Samsung is a must-have for those who bought the base Galaxy S23. The brick will charge your phone at its rated charging speeds, and since it's from Samsung, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues.

This Ugreen 45W Nexode is a great buy for the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra, as the devices offer 45W wired fast charging support. The best part is that it has two USB-C ports, so you can charge another gadget along with your phone with ease.

This Anker 735 65W charger is perfect for those who are frequently on the go and don't want to carry multiple charging bricks for their devices. It features three ports that will simultaneously charge your Galaxy S23, laptop, and another gadget.

The Anker PowerWave II is one of the best affordable wireless chargers for your Galaxy S23. It offers 15W fast charging at an affordable price. The best part is that it comes with its own charging brick, so you don't have to buy one separately.

The Ucomx Nano 3-in-1 wireless charger is great if you use wireless earbuds and a smartwatch with your Galaxy S23. It features three charging coils that let you charge all three devices simultaneously, and it folds up into a compact size, making it quite travel-friendly.

This Peak Design wireless charging stand has a premium metal construction with built-in magnets to hold your phone securely. Its adjustable hinge lets you charge your phone in either portrait or landscape orientation at multiple angles.

If you don't mind spending extra for faster charging speeds, you should go with the Anker 747. It offers a peak output of 87W, allowing you to charge your Galaxy S23 and a laptop simultaneously. The power bank comes with a compatible charger and cable.

The Sharkgeek Storm 2 portable charger packs a massive 25,600mAh battery that will charge your Galaxy S23 multiple times. It also features a cool transparent design that will definitely turn some heads and a nifty built-in LED display.

The Anker PowerCore 325 is a 20,000mAh power bank that sports four ports to keep your devices juiced up when you're on the go. Although it only supports 15W wired charging, it's a decent option at such an affordable price.

Not satisfied with the length of the included cable that came with your Galaxy S23? Get this two-pack of Anker's premium Nylon braided cables that are 6 feet in length and are much more durable than the original cable from Samsung.

This Baseus USB-C to USB-C cable features a durable nylon braid and a built-in LED display that shows the amount of power your phone draws while charging. It's a bit pricey compared to the Anker cable, but it's just as long at 6.6ft.

Protect your Galaxy S23 Ultra's camera lenses without using a bulky case with these camera lens protectors from Supcase. They're easy to install and keep the camera lens scratch-free.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are the best true wireless earbuds you can get for your Galaxy S23. They offer all the features you expect in a pair of premium TWS earbuds, including ANC support, and they pair seamlessly with Galaxy devices.

Don't want to spend too much on true wireless earbuds? Get the Galaxy Buds 2 instead of the Pro model. While the earbuds lack some of the premium features you get with the expensive model, they're pretty great for the price.

If you prefer over-ear headphones, you can't go wrong with the Sony WH-1000XM5. Widely regarded as the best wireless headphones on the market, these headphones check almost all boxes. However, they're a bit too pricey and don't fold like the older model.

Those who don't want to spend over $100 on wireless headphones can grab the Soundcore Life Q30 from Anker. Despite being affordable, the headphones offer ANC support, great battery life, and decent sound quality for the price.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is undoubtedly the best smartwatch you can get with your brand-new Galaxy S23 series device. It's currently the best Wear OS smartwatch on the market, and it's a must-have accessory for all Galaxy smartphone users.

You should get Spigen's ArcStation car charger if you're often on the road and don't want your phone to run out of juice. It offers a peak output of 65W and sports two USB-C ports that can charge your Galaxy S23 and another gadget at blazing-fast speeds.

Don't have an Android Auto head unit in your car? Get the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 to hold your Galaxy S23 securely in place and your eyes safely on the road. You can attach it to your car's dashboard or windshield using the suction cup.

That sums up some of the best Galaxy S23 chargers, cables, and accessories you can buy for your brand-new device. Since Samsung no longer pairs your phone purchase with a charger or pair of earbuds in the box, we highly recommend getting one of the fast chargers and earbuds mentioned in this list. The Ugreen 45W Nexode and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are the best options out of the lot, but you may prefer some other alternatives based on your use case. It's also a great time to pair up your new Samsung phone with other official accessories, and we highly recommend the Galaxy Watch 5.

Once you're done buying accessories for your new phone, check out our roundups of the best Galaxy S23 cases, Galaxy S23+ cases, and Galaxy S23 Ultra cases to pick up a durable protective case. You should also consider buying a screen protector to keep your phone's display scratch-free.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is one of the best phones on the market, packing an all-new 200MP sensor, a refined design, a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, and One UI 5.1.

The Samsung Galaxy S23+ is slightly bigger than the regular model. That means the screen is bigger, and the battery is bigger, too. It also comes with the same 50MP camera sensor as the S23 and in the same four colors.

The regular Galaxy S23 is a great option if you're in the market for a smaller smartphone thanks to its 6.1-inch display. But despite the size, it's not lacking any features that the larger S23+ has. It has a 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50MP camera, and more.
