The first one is very expensive. They sell them in my local store here for US$10 and it works quiet well as a backup charger. Phone can still be used if a little bulky to hold.

I see, but here in italy is quite difficult to find it in the little shop s in my country. I think I'm going to buy the second one due to the fact that is an universal charger and can be used with more than one thing.

Why would you need a external one? They seem very expensive?

I bought one of these 2 weeks ago for GBP23, although looking at it now, it costs GBP35

Or there is this for GBP25

As expected, the 5000mah version gives several full charges. There is also a 11000mah version out there for those who do not have access to electricity for over a week..?

'cause several times has happened I have to stay out all day long and I had no chance to charge the phone. I use it a lot for work. I found very usefull the Android Revolution Rom, but I need more power...

Am I being dim? It says 500mAh on the device.

Don't think so, maybe you misread the specs - there are 2 outputs, 1A and 500mA (ie 1/2A), but the capacity is 5000mAh.
On the output side, I just connect it to the 1A port, since a) I don't know what the maximum draw of the DHD is and b) it will only draw what it needs, whether it is 500mA or 700mA

Cheap fast-charge chargers?

Hi there. I am one of those people that like to have a multitude of chargers around my house. So far all I have are the stock cheap chargers and the fast charge one that comes with the phone. Does anyone know of any relatively cheap chargers for the s6 that use the new fast charging? I've seen the HTC and Samsung ones but they seem to be rather pricy. I'm from Australia, so anything Amazon unfortunately doesn't ship here.
Thanks heaps.

There isn't any other than the official Samsung one. Aukey do a quick charge 2.0 powerbank and there's a QC2.0 car charger available too, both on Amazon though.

unfortunately, fast chargers are still relatively new and aren't very cheap. that said, you can still find some on eBay that are cheaper than the Samsung charger. search for "quick charge 2.0." it is the very same standard that Samsung rebranded as "adaptive fast charging," so devices can be used interchangeably.

I think that Qualcomm is a good company for quick charge chargers. I Don't have any, but that is what I've heard.

Yes, I know what qualcomm quick charge is. I was just confused about what you stated since I did not think Qualcomm makes chargers.
Back to OP, check here for a list of certified chargers with the QC 2.0 tech.

I've have nothing but good experiences with Anker. I'm probably gonna pick this up so I have a charger at the office:

No, quick charge 2.0 is a standard, not a speed. Also, quick charge 2.0 is not available as wireless. That's a different standard again (Qi & Pmat).

Dude, 3.0 charging would charge a phone from zero to 100 in five minutes.... maybe in the far future....

Groupon has Samsung wireless charger for $39.99

Fast charge 2.0 generates too much heat on S6, I don't want to make the motherboard and battery of life cycle become shorter.

[Q] Rapid Charger 2.0

Does any one know if the charger come with the M9 is the Rapid Charger 2.0 or just a normal charger?

It comes with normal charger. Rapid charger 1.0. My m9 from 0-100% in two hours

Does anyone know if these chargers have any negative effect on the battery over time?

the iVoler car charger, I just bought this to try it cause the price was low and the reviews said it was quality made. This charger works exactly as promised. And the 6 foot USB cable is of good quality and really nice. It also fits into my m9 with a nice click, and fits well around my case. I will definitely buy more of these!

They will lead to battery at higher temp.
Mine Charges at approximately 2.5A I observed battery temp reach 43C before charging current was lowered until temperature came back down.
Likely to lead to slightly reduced lifespan .
No concern to me as I typically change phone every six months. Even to owners who change every two years it probably won't be noticeable. Good advice is to charge overnight with normal charger and use fast charger only when needed .

I have the original charger and the rapid charger from the nexus 6 and I can say the nexus 6 charger does charge my phone a lot faster than the HTC provided one.

I'm tempted by the rapid charger 2.0 but I'm not sure, because charging a battery more faster it reduces the battery life. What do you think?

So now MI A1 has fast charging in oreo beta build

Now Oreo beta build supports Qualcomm quick charge. Details here: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-a1-android-oreo-fast-charging/

Interesting and weird that this was never a hardware limitation

It's sadly true, like the FM Radio available but not easily accessible from app

On my OnePlus charger (5v, 2000 mA), my phone draws 1930 mA on average with Oreo (which is significantly higher than the 900~ mA it did on N).

It did 2000ma with in box charger in my N

The charging current fluctuates while charging, so it might be low when you measured Android N's power draw in mi a1

Try with a QC compatible cable from a friend or something... And I assume. You are already having the Oreo beta build?
Can I try to flash Oreo with the UpdateEngine magisk module or should I wait for official release?

I think it might be since it can handle the 5v 2amps charging with the original brick that came with the mobile. QC v2 just uses variable (5v/9v) voltage to quickly charge a mobile without needing to go higher than 2amps.

I watched a video on YouTube where that guy tried charging the phone with a quick charger but it didn't work...
It still took 2 odd hours to charge completely

Not on Oreo yet but we need a baseline using the same hardware setup for testing on Nougat before we can have any reliable data on Oreo to compare with.
I'll test with Nougat later, maybe consider going to next Oreo beta (whenever that is). Really don't want to move to Oreo until xPosed is ready though.
