Is there an issue if I use a longer cable from my Note8 15w charger with the new 25w charger? Any downsides? Thanks all!

The only issue might be that the new 25w charging brick is a Type-C port. That's why they include the USB-C to USB-C cable. Is your 15w charger a Type-C port?

The Apple USB-C to USB-C cable is currently on sale on Amazon for $13.99. It is a solid cable and supports up to 87W guaranteed.

Yeah, it is not, I figured that out earlier and felt really silly LOL :D.

Well, there's a Type-A to Type-C adapter in the box, but it won't charge as fast. Type-A cannot carry as much current as Type-C, so there would probably be no difference if you just used the S8 charger instead.

I have quite a collection of USB C cords some from Samsung devices and others from third-party typically stores like Walgreens Etc. They all work, though I'm thinking they may charge a little slower then the stock cord and wall charge setup that came with the Note 10 plus
