Is this charger fake or not? It weights 52 grams, gives super fast charging, bug looks suspicious that on packaging is written compatible with android and iPhone. Does it means it is fake or it is for specific mark

It's hard to tell fakes. A good guide is where you bought it and for how much. Normally if they are very cheap and from obscure 3rd party sellers the risks are high

“Made in Vietnam” and the barcodes being on a sticker are correct for a genuine Samsung product. 

Double check the weight, it should be 50 grams according to the Samsung specification sheet (charger only, without the box) You may just need to calibrate your scales.

To avoid fakes buy direct from Samsung or from a big firm that has a reputation to protect.

If you must order from Amazon, only order branded items listed as “sold by Amazon” or the manufacturer.  Never buy from a 3rd party marketplace seller if you want a genuine item. Often that means clicking through to the “other sellers on Amazon” list to find the “sold by Amazon”  listing.

Can anyone please verify if my 25W Samsung charger is real. I got it from a friend who switched to apple so I don't know if it is genuine or not. Images of it are below.

@Yami99: It is difficult to verify the authenticity of your charger based on the images provided. What I would suggest is reaching out to Samsung Support in your region, and have the model number and serial number of the adapter to hand, and an advisor will be able to look into this further for you. 

Please note that I have edited your post to remove the image where the serial number is visible, as this is a key identifier of the product.
