Quick answer
No, a USB-C to Lightning cable cannot charge a Galaxy S25 because the phone has a USB-C port, not Lightning. Use a USB-C to USB-C cable for fast charging.
Why the cable doesn't fit
The Galaxy S25 uses a USB-C port for charging and data transfer. The Lightning connector is Apple's proprietary design, so it physically won't plug into the S25. Even with an adapter, the cable won't deliver power correctly because the S25 expects USB Power Delivery over USB-C.
What to use instead
For the Galaxy S25, you need a USB-C to USB-C cable. This supports the phone's fast charging capabilities. If you have an older USB-A charger, a USB-C to USB-A cable works, but charging will be slower.
