Technically, any receiver will work well with any charger. The thing you need to look for is a charger that can output 5V at 1A. Pretty much every charger will have that rating so it's hard to mess that one up. As far as the receiver goes, the higher the current output the better (measured in "ma"). And by "better" I mean the phone will charge faster. I have a 1A (1000ma) receiver in my Note 4. It charges pretty quickly, but interferes with NFC. Also, a higher current for a receiver typically means it will also be thicker, making the back of your phone bulge more.
Which charger and receiver are the most durable/well built is a much more difficult question to answer as there are so many to pick from. Just think about how you want to use it, do you want your phone tilted up at you while it's charging? Do you want a super grippy pad so your phone won't walk off the pad when it vibrates? Do you want it to be portable like the mobile pal 2 in 1? The best charger for you will be dependant on how you answer those questions.
Similar questions need to be asked for the receiver. Do you want it to work with NFC? Will you generally just use wireless charging to charge overnight? If so you can get away with a smaller, lower current receiver since you won't need quick charging. If you'll be charging throughout the day you'll want to get a receiver with a higher current rating.
Well, that answer was longer than I originally intended. But I hope it helps!
Thanks TM that's a lot to go on. But a lot of useful information
From my research online, the CHOETECH Stadium seems to be one of the best rated chargers (if you're not going for the official Samsung setup). I've ordered one and am awaiting its arrival, along with the FoneSalesman N4 SlimPWRCard.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OFKS66G
The CHOETECH Stadium has 3 coils as opposed to some chargers that only have one - from what I've read that makes for faster charging and less problems positioning the phone correctly. This is my first foray into wireless charging though, so I'm only repeating what I've read online, not speaking from experience
I use fonesalesman powercard, and my trusty Nokia Qi charger. The thing is you have to find the right spot for the Qi receiver and charger to line up, then it will charge as it should.

Glad you got sorted out and it's working well. Just got the CHOETECH Stadium (which is also 3 coils) set up and the FoneSalesman N4 SlimPWRCard installed. So far very impressed - the card is unnoticeable except for that slight bulging below the flash, which isn't really visible at all in a case. You can basically 'throw' the phone down onto the charging pad without having to worry too much about positioning. So far I have only used the CHOETECH connected to a PC USB port, not a wall adapter, but even at that, with the phone powered on, I got 10% of charge in an hour (65%-75%). Expecting even better results tonight with the CHOETECH plugged into the Samsung charger and the phone off. In any case, it's great to have that trickle charge while you're sitting working at the computer, without having to plug in. Yay for wireless charging
EDIT: Got just over 10% in half an hour with the charger plugged into the Samsung adaptor, and charging through a UAG case. :good:
EDIT 2: Charged phone overnight from 1% to 100%, it took approximately 5 hours. Good thing is there were no beeps or sounds from either the phone or the charger, and no noticeable 'hum' from the charger either - so good for bedside usage

Maybe I'm expecting too much, but the way I understand Qi wireless charging is you should be able to use any combination of transmitter/receiver you wish and it should just work.
Well, as I'm sure some of you are aware, that does not appear to be the case with the Note 4. I have tried two 3rd party receivers with different bases and have been unable to achieve any sort of consistency.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PUA06TA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OFKS66G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Above are the 3rd party receivers I've tried. You either have to off center the receiver with the base, or find a sweet spot that makes it look like if you so much as sneeze the wrong way the phone will fall off. NOT ideal. Most 3rd party receivers I have looked at employ a similar design.
Or you have a situation like mine where a base just won't work due to alignment issues. This is the case with the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Car Charging Mount. The coil in the receiver sits too far to the left (screen facing you), and there's no way to align with the coil on the iOttie properly.
Here's the funny part. I have ZERO issues with the OEM Charging Cover. This thing where Qi is supposed to be universal may be true, but there are strings attached. Until there are no strings, I can't see how phone manufacturers can take it seriously...
I hope that the upcoming Galaxy S6 handles this better than that. It looks promising. It wouldn't be the sole reason I switch to it, but I can do a slightly smaller screen, don't necessarily need the pen, but they are nice. I just wish wireless charging was handled better....
I use the OEM Wireless charging cover and a Nokia base. I have had no issues at all. I would stay away from those cheap Chinese adapter coils. They seem very easy to break, they don't fit well with the stock cover, and are more prone to errors. They only sell for a couple dollars in China so don't expect much.

A: The VU is designed to provide as much power as your standard USB charger (1 Amp) and will charge as fast as your USB charger as long as your phone is designed to accept that much power.

Wireless charging is not as fast as wired charging but it sure is convenient. I hate having to plug and unplug the phone all day. With wireless charging I just make it a habit to always leave it on the charging pad when I can. That way my phone is always at 100% when I leave. My OEM fast charger is still in the box unused. I got a deal on the Nokia pads a year or so ago and only paid $5 a piece for them direct from AT&T. At that price it's easy to place them in multiple locations such as the living room, bedroom, office, car, etc.

I have the same QI pad in ur first link. Works gr8 on mine. Now I'm using a different receiver. The first one I bought was the same slmpwrcard u got. Lots of issues with it, until it just quite. When it was kinda working, hit or miss, I measured the voltage the receiver sent to battery when connected with charger. It was low. Should be 5v, I was getting right at 4v, now it only puts out 1.7v, and won't even work. Below is the one I bought to replace. Works perfect! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P48BIFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have 7 QI chargers, and they all work well. By the way, the QI pad u linked is a 3 coil. Also it only makes sense u may have to put the phone on QI charger a lil offcenter because the coil in receiver is offcenter.....
I bought the Yoo Tech wireless receiver and LagaLake wireless charging pad. There's a slight bulge in the back of the phone and I have to put the phone on the charging pad slightly off center. In the end, it was more work than just plugging the phone in. So, I'm back to using my fast charger. I'll have to get the official Samsung wireless charging back and see if it works better.
Hi XDA members
in your opinion what is the best wireless charger for galaxy s6
hope everyone give us the price and the link for the product
Well it really depends on your budget. In my case, I am on a tight budget so I'll probably settle on TechMatte Wireless Charger that is priced not more than $25. However, I would really like the official Samsung wireless charger that is priced at $45 on Amazon. It is good-looking, sleeker and has functional LED light indicator.
Here is a good article about S6 wireless charger:
http://www.androidauthority.com/best-wireless-chargers-samsung-galaxy-s6-600922/
Honestly anything that has 3 coils will do well for you. I recently purchased this charger from Amazon, and it's amazing. You don't have to play with alignment as there is more than one coil.

Yep.. ^^^^ what eep02b said.. I have the same exact one and it charges ridiculously good. No issues whatsoever. I've used a variety cases and it charges them with no issues. The thickest case I have is the Caseology and the Supcase.
I don't have the S6, but I do have the official Samsung charger.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Pad-Packaging/dp/B00UCZGS6S
I'm using it for my S3, that has a wireless receiver inside since my charging port is rather finicky these days. It works fine for that and it's nice that it's low profile, which is what I wanted.
The downside is that since it's flat, not very useful if you wanna watch movies and such, but that doesn't bother me since I only use it before I go to bed. I generally don't run into alignment issues with it, but always a possibility with the single coil setup.
The official Samsung one works with any Qi enabled device, though if you are using it for any other device, besides the S6, like I'm currently doing with my S3, the LED indicator will not tell you when it's fully charged. It'll just tell you when it's on the pad.
I don't mind since I just use my phone's LED indicator light to let me know when it's fully charged. But, keep that in mind, if you want to use it for phones other than the S6.
The 3 coil setup is better in that you won't run into any alignment issues like you can run into with single coil set ups. If you get something like this TYLT charger, you can definitely watch movies and such since it's propped up.
http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
One other thing you wanna keep in mind with wireless charging in general. It will NOT charge your phone as fast as using the AC adapter (especially since it has fast charging capabilities) the phone came with. If you wanna charge your phone fast, wireless charging isn't the way to go. It's more of a convenience thing. Figured you knew that, but a friendly reminder never hurts.

Yeah I got this one aswell for bedroom, and I have the round original Samsung one for desktop. Samsungs has too bright blue leds to use in bedroom so its more suitable for desk.
Both works great, no issues at all. Might get the QiStone+ later on so that I can have a portable battery with wireless charging capabilities.

I have the same issue, the wireless charger charges my phone just fine. I have 3 separate ones and they all do it, once it gets to 100% it keeps making the charging noise on and off as it looses a bit of power and starts charging again, kind of annoying when it's by your bedside lol. Anyone know how to fix that?
I have the official Samsung charging pad, works like every other wireless charger. Not sure if it was worth the $40 I got it for but the charging LED is handy and it isn't too bright to sleep with (my opinion). It doesn't have any starting/stopping charging issues at 100%.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just bought this a few days ago, absolutely love it. I've set it down maybe 50 times, never missed a charge or needed to re-position it. For $25, you can't go wrong. Only minor down side is the surface is pretty smooth, so people without a case, I could see this sliding off. I use a clear Spidgen case, and have no issues at all charging with the case on.
I just bought a high quality Qi charging stand that I think would worth a shot at $35.99. I love its modern aluminum design and its large charging area with 3 coils. I tried it for several days and it works great and stable with my Note 5.
Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char..._1_23?ie=UTF8&keywords=wireless+charger+stand
However, it needs an additional wireless receiver when charging my wife's Note 4. So make sure that your smartphone supports it before you splash out on a wireless charger, or you'll need to buy an extra wireless receiver or a case that enables wireless charging.

Does it really make sense to get a single coil or three coil? The coils effect the coverage of wireless charging area but do not effect the speed of charging, am I correct?
3 coils charger can charge with a wild area, nothing about charging speed.

I use it with the flexible TPU case. It works fine for me, no problems at all.
In fact, it even works for me with the Wireless charging SView case flipped back and placed between the charger and phone. That definitely leaves some gap between the phone and the charger.
What case are you thinking of?
If you're not in a hurry, it's worthwhile to keep an eye on chargers on eBay. I picked up a Keedox folding 3-coils charger for less than $20 (normally $35+) with a well-timed bid, and it's excellent. I also picked up two plastic Chinese 3-coils charging stands for $20 each. Those aren't as good, but they're good enough for my old S3 on my nightstand and my wife's S4.
I do NOT recommend getting charging receivers on eBay, though. Every one I tried from eBay failed within days. I ended up replacing them with receivers off Amazon.
How's the speed though? Been wanting to get a wireless charger but the thought of me waiting for a long time for it to charge is a turn off.

It's slower than wired charging, of course, but when do you charge your phone? If you charge it overnight, then speed doesn't matter. And if your wireless charger is on your desk, it charges every time you set your phone down. That beats the pants off "Doze" in Marshmallow.
If you need a quick charge, just unplug the cord from the charger and plug it into your phone. I never need to do that, myself.
Hey guys, Rydah805 here with a nice little review on something cool that was sent to me from Chotech; A USB Type-C wireless charging kit. Basically, what it does is awesome by simply adding wireless charging capabilities to devices (such as my Google Pixel XL) that do not support it out of the box. You will obviously need a wireless charging pad for this to have any function. I personally own two, a Samsung branded wireless fast charger and Choetech’s very own wireless fast charger. For this review, I tested using both in which results were the same. Before we begin, I'd like to make it clear that I am in no way associated with Choetech.
How it works is even simpler too. You plug the wireless charging receiver into your USB Type-C charging port, stick the actual wireless charging receiver to the back of your device (sticking not necessary is using a case but do note that it will leave an ever so slight bump with a case.) After plugging it in and having the wireless charging receiver mounted to the back, you're pretty much set. Now when you want to charge your device, you may just dock it onto your wireless charger.
As for wireless charging speed, I wasn’t able to get it to charge “rapidly” as my Google stock charger states, but charging time wasn’t too far off and isn’t noticeable if charging overnight or if just sitting on your desk at work, like me in both of those scenarios.
When it comes to quality of looks and materials, it meets my expectations but then again, what could you really expect? And if you're curious about the specs on this little guy, it is using qi wireless charging technologies with an output of 5v/1a. This is obviously lower than the stock wired charging rates and of course speed but again, if you’re like me, always at your desk or at home, this isn’t too big of a deal. YMMV.
Now for my personal look and opinion on it. I think it’s cool and coming from a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and even more recently, the best worst phone ever, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (R.I.P.), wireless charging was definitely missed when switching to the LG V20 and now again with the Google Pixel XL. I definitely like having this as an option and thank Choetech for giving me one to review. Personally, I do not use it quite often as I am a freak about having my phone as thin as possible (thin case fans, where you at!?) but if I weren’t into thin cases, this would stay on my device all the time.
To sum this baby up, it’s great. It gets the job done and does what it came to do, add wireless charging to your incapable device. LOL
8/10 (Wish wireless charging speeds were better but it isn’t a killer for me.)
Link to purchase coming soon.
Looks cool. I really miss having wireless charging since I just plop my phone down on my desk or when it's bed time and I don't have to worry about the port wearing out. This is my first USB C device, so I'm curious to see how well it holds up.
Does your wireless charging pad have much heat when it's charging, both in a case, or if you had direct contact between the receiver and charging pad?

That sounds pretty cool. The reviews I have read on other ones was that the charge speed was much slower. Don't need rapid charge but standard speed would be more than good enough for me. A few reviews I read said that putting one on a wireless charge dead at night it wouldn't even be fully charged over night. I will probably buy one of these as soon as the link goes up Couldn't find it yet on Amazon.
After owning a Nexus 6 I don't want to have a phone without wireless charging. These wireless charging receivers work great with the mix, i've tried two different models and I am super happy with how things work

I can drive in my car while casting my phone's screen to my head unit with gps on full time and playing music and the screen on low brightness and it still charges wirelessly.
the receiver is so thin i barely know it is there behind my case.
anyways, if you miss wireless charging this solution works well

After owning a Nexus 6 I don't want to have a phone without wireless charging. These wireless charging receivers work great with the mix, i've tried two different models and I am super happy with how things work
this model claims to be fast charging, and it definitely is much faster than the other model i tried

combine this with a fast wireless charger

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. A couple of questions:
1. You said "it charges wirelessly around 990mA" - how did you measure the charging rate? Is it a reading from Ampere app from Play Store, or something else? Also, is is the peak or average current?
2. You said "i barely know it is there behind my case" - is your receiver sticker from your first link actually *inside* the case, or *outside*, coming in direct contact with the charger from your second link? If it is outside - would you mind putting it inside the case for a minute, and measuring the charging current with Ampere app when the phone case is between the receiver sticker and the charger? TIA

yes, this is with Ampere measuring.
all measurements are inside the case, as in the sticker is stuck directly to the phone with the case overtop of it.
with this new case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70603907&postcount=20 i really do not even know the sticker charger is there, it lines up perfectly with the case at the bottom and there is no added bulge at all in the back.

I also use a sticker receiver and the case, and while I cannot recommend the sticker (or maybe it's my charger?) that I use, because Ampere tells me I only get 200-300mAh charging current on average - the case I'm using is really awesome (I have black version with golden frame): http://www.ebay.com/itm/322333960673
I'm hoping if I get your sticker and this charger (this is the new version of the same one you linked) I'll also get around 1A wireless charging current.
Btw, not related to the conversation, but it looks like we missed out: http://www.fudzilla.com/news/mobile/42645-xiaomi-mi-mix-evo-rocks-snapdragon-835

yes, i had the Nillikin sticker receiver before this one i linked that claims fast charging. with the Nillikin i got similar results as you get now around 200-300mah.
only when all parts in the process were fast charge did i actually see a difference. the sticker must be fast charge, the qi charger must be fast charge, and of course you must have a fast charge 3.0 wall charger. i was actually surprised it worked, but it does.
I'm going to try that case you linked too one of the few i haven't tried yet.
Lads in regards to wall chargers Ive got recently the dodocool 3.0 charger and it is way faster comparing to the genuine one! Really impressed! build quality is very good too! (no numbers on charging yet as I did not have time to do it...)

it has been reported that the mix only shipped with a 2.0 charger so that makes sense that a 3.0 charger would charger quicker. good to hear!
