A 2A power adapter is highly recommended. Most devices cap out at 1A or 1.2A, so they don't charge faster with a more powerful charger, but the ones that can draw so much power to charge (such as the Nexus 4) will benefit from it.
Seconded
The device limits the power draw.
A 2Amp port can charge just about any USB charged device.

I have a 2+A charger with 2 USP ports. 1 for the Samsung, 1 for the phone/ear piece (micro USB)

Remember to Verify your charger works with the mains voltage where you will use it.

if the Label reads:
100-240V It will work without switching settings
120/240V This notation implies a switch or jumper must be set or the magic smoke will escape.

120V
or
240V are only designed for Singe voltage use


I have a second set of cords and a 12V charger that live in my car.
You can't leave home without a backup plan
