bring a wireless charger if you can
UPDATE: I took my phone to the local cell/electronic repair shop since it was still being a little weird. The guy told me that Samsung Galaxy phones have had a known issue for a long time. He said he has had to replace a part in them several times. It actually has to do with some electronic piece in the wireless charging in the back, not the actual USB(c) input. So there you are. Still bringing wireless powerbank on trips, though. Thanks all for your input. Travel on! I will always being doing this from now on. I just returned from a wonderful trip to Greece. Long story, short, my Samsung S25 ultra started freaking out, say I had moisture/debris in the USBc channel so it would not allow me to charge. I tried EVERYTHING to fix it (thank you Reddit for some ideas). Anyways, I had to do a factory reset, and I could not download any backup data from the cloud, because I had to have at least 30% power, I had 27%. If I had had my wireless charging stand I could have charged the phone, and downloaded everything, or even better, not have had to factory reset at all until I returned home, but keep it charged.
