After market charger for Samsung Tab S4?

[Android Central Question]

Has anyone found a charger that works well for the Tab S4, that is not specifically a Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger, or a clone of that? I want to buy a brick that will work for both my Pixel 3xl (which is PD technology), and my tablet, in order to reduce clutter and for travel. Anker makes a charger with a PD slot and a regular USB slot (not Quick Charge). Is that the way to go? Or shall I just accept that I have to carry the specific Samsung charger for the tablet, and a different charger for the phone?

I regularly use the Anker PowerPort PD (or an older version of whatever the desktop charger is named) to charge my Tab S7 (and previously my Tab S3). You are in no way tied to the Samsung charger, though the fastest charge speeds may be achieved through use of that charger. I have 2 generations of the Anker charger, the older of which does report fast charging on the Tab S7, though I understand that there's a level even above that.

Thanks! I signed up. Do you use a PD C- port, or USB- A port for charging the TAB? I dont need the fastest possible charging, but don't want to damage the tablet.

Generally use the PD USB-C port. I have the cable that came with the tablet plugged in to the one in my bedroom, in case I need to charge my phone and tablet at the same time.
