Where can I purchase a fast charger for the honor 8? Also will the Samsung fast charger work with the honor 8?
Fast charger comes out of the box with Honor 8 why do you need it?, u can not use Samsung fast charger on Huawei phone.
apparently at the time being there is none, although i bet you could get it from China, but best not get things that we are not sure about its originality! I am waiting for someone to sell their fast carger too..
Best option is to buy a genuine one from eBay. It is the only place so far you can get a true huawei quick charge.
Huawei mate 8 have the same charger, here's mine from AliExpress http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69099182&postcount=14 link in that thread. Works with no issues at all.
Is there a car cigarette lighter plug in one from a previous phone that also works with fast charging? 5V 2A wall chargers work fine and my friend's LG G4 charger did as well. Neither was using Fast Charge, but AIDA64 said they were charging at ~2A which got me a decent amount of juice in 30 minutes anyway.
edit: This was supposed to be in reply to the post directly below.
Hi There,
Thinking of picking up the Honor 8 while I travel to the States. Just wanted to ask someone to clear up my confusion. So basically my question is:
Is the Honor 8 compatible with any Quick Charger ?
I know that most people have been saying that only the provided wall charger will quick charge the Honor 8 but , please excuse my ignorance/lack of knowledge here, if the provided charger is 9V/2A/18W , wouldn't a generic charger with those specs quick charge it as well ?
Also does the USB Type-C cable come into play with regards to the charging speed.
Thanks for any help. Just want to know because I'd like to have piece of mind that if I lose/break the provided wall charger I could buy another without paying the price of an Honor-Branded one.
Thanks

In Theory, regardings power supplies you're right.
The problem is more advanced: The charger provides 5V, (maybe even limited to 500mA) until the device handshakes successfully with the charger, and tells "hi there, I'm speaking hisilicon fast charging protocol. Oh, you do too? Great. How is the weather over there? Okay, enough smalltalk, please provide me with 9V, up to 3A, i can handle that without going into a puff of smoke".
The charger then reassures every 100ms or so, that the device connected is still the same... and keeps providing 9V
With a QC based charger, it might go "hi there I'm speaking hisilicon fast charging protocol. Oh sorry, i don't understand QC2.0. I can provide you with this legacy charging protocol". And the charger should recognize that it can provide 5V,2A - which will help, but won't be quite as fast as quick charging...
Lets see when Anker or some other company bring out a dual-lingual charger...
You should go with huawei's charger.

Thank you for your question regarding the Honor 8 and it's capabilities with quick charging. Your phone comes with a 9 V 2 A high voltage quick charger. It also supports 5 V 2 A chargers. Make sure you buy an official Huawei 9 V 2 A charger; unofficial quick chargers will not work properly. If you need a quick charger, you can buy one from Huawei Vmall or official Huawei experience shops. NOTE: The FRD-L02 shipped to the Indian market comes with a 5 V 2 A charger. (NS)

they should, considering the fact that other quick chargers wont work(qualcom certified)
95% they'll make it available
Nope, you have to use the charger that comes along with the Honor 8 in order to quick charge your Honor 8.

yeah, it dosent support other quick charger, especially the one certified by qualcom quickcharge
Can anyone recommend a car charger that's compatible with the honor 8? I also power a dash cam that doesn't need quick charge. I'd like one that has dual USB ports, one for the dash cam and the other quick charge for the honor 8. Thanks!
Would this work? It sounds like it will do non Qualcomm stuff at 9V/2A. I only needed a single port when I was looking for one so it was easier.
I guess it could work, but that 20-38 days delivery time is putting me off. Nothing on Amazon.com?
I ordered this one. Only had it one day so far. But seems to work well.

I've read the only chargers that do quick charge are from Huawei as it's a different standard.
this ones on a sale and prime for next day

That is true as Huawei's quick charge technology if vastly different from Qualcomm's or Samsung's.
*** mod edit: thread closed at OP's request ***
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my quick charger and I hope that you can help me.
I have no problem with my original quick charger and original cable of Honor 8. Every time I connect the cable to the phone it shows "fast charging".
I bought an aukey cable from amazon that supports fast charging ( I knew for sure that it worked for nexus 5x ) but with my quick charger it doesn't work. The phone shows only "charging". I thought that was normal because of it isn't an original cable but then I tried with the quick charger of honor 9. It work with the aukey cable and honor 8. But I have to specify that the fast charging doesn't work with honor 9 and my honor 8 charger + aukey cable. So I think that is not my phone problem.
The two quick charger are identical, they report the same model number. So, I have a defective quick charger (but it provides quick charge with original cable) or it doesn't recognize a not original cable? But why does the same cable work with honor 9 quick charger that looks identical?
Can you help me?:crying:
Thanks
For my Mate 20 I bought Huawei's new SuperCharge 2, which support +40W. Maybe in future I will need it but SuperCharge 2 support 22.5W for old generation devices, like Mate 9, Mate 10 and Mate 20X.
I get a chinese GM1900 OnePlus 7. Now I looking for a EU charger and KFZ charger. Instead of buying old Dash Charger which support up to 20W, I think about to get Wrap Charge.
Somebody try it or can confirm it?
Warp Charge will work on your OnePlus 7 but it will act like a 20W charger (just like Dash charge) to a 7 and a 30W charger to a 7 Pro.
As you now know, it also supports USB PD upto 15W, if you have other devices that use it. A Warp charger will not charge anything else fast, but a USB PD brick can charge laptops too potentially.
