I have yet to even get a text as to where my 512 blue Note9 is! And they are already selling on Amazon! How messed up is that?
The first promo was for preorders only. This one seems to be what you get now that the phone is officially released.

Oh no doubt, I'll definitely get more use out if these things then I would have the headphones or Fortnite stuff.
I'm happy that I got a solid pair of bluetooth over-the-ear headphones with noise canceling... I don't like the in ear style. But the fortnite imaginary dollars definitely aren't worth it. Now if they were offering the new Galaxy Watch with the promo, I'd be all over it.

Do you have a link for this? I cannot find it on their website.
*edit*
I did find a little information about this through the app but I still cannot find that page/image you posted.
In the app, when you come across the charger or earbuds, it does say say in grey fine print
"Buy a Galaxy Note 9 and get a free Duo wireless charger and your choice of a Note 9 cover. Or for an additional $99, get a pair of IconX earbuds".
If you click on the Note 9, to buy through the app and run through all the options (size, color, carrier), it will let you pick the gift.
So as far as I can tell you must purchase the Note 9 through the Samsung Shop app to make this happen, at least for now.

yep, you have to go through samsung to get this promotion:
https://beebom.com/samsung-note-9-wireless-charger-offer/
Samsung has to give freebies away to justify the astronomical price of this phone. So far it's worth it though imo.
Current promo being better is subjective. I have no use for duo wireless charger or some earbuds that will fall out of my wide ear canals. Which incidentally upcharge $100 more for.
Come Christmas they might offer better trade ins for the note 9

Like Limey said it is a matter of preference. I am happy I am getting the headphones and I already have two wireless chargers that I never even use. I bought two phones so my wife and I are both getting a pair of headphones. With this deal, I would get two charging stations so for me, the pre-order deal was much better.

Lol, yes. I remember when I got my note 8 with the wireless charger promo on launch as well as the memory card. I tried to sell the wireless charger on Craigslist, no takers. Even at launch I'd take $50 for it, and folks would offer me $25. It's still in my drawers gathering dust.

I will be mighty upset if they do a promo with a 512GB micro SD card. Otherwise, the promos are whatever floats your boat. I wonder if the mods will let us start a trade thread. Or it can be done privately maybe?
I wonder, even though I preordered already can I still claim this? I'm still thinking if I want to pick up my note 9 or not because of reasons and this might pull me in even more....
They've always did different promo deals after a phone launch. And by month three, the price of the phone drops.
The new wireless charger doesn't charge any faster than any other charger you may have. My wife's Note 9 works with the wireless charger I bought 3 years ago for $15. The wall wart charger is still 2A that comes with the Note 9, so the charge rate will be exactly the same. That Duo charger costs $60, is huge, and not worth that kind of money. I wouldn't want it even if it was free. The 512 phone is backordered for a month or more, so if you want this new promo deal, you will be waiting a while if you want that phone. I'll keep my wireless charger that is smaller than the Note 9, rather than one that is the size of a shoebox.

The wall charger is 2.0A for the Note 9. The same as the Wall Charger for my Note 4. The same as the charger for my Tab A tablet. Samsung has never come out with a different wall charger in device I know of. They are all the same.
The only way to claim these promo's is by buying from samsung, right? Or can I buy from bestbuy and still get the promo like with the preorder bonus?

YMMV. Some retailers have been doing their own promos.
I think the best promo would've been 512GB for 128GB price in more regions or free 512GB micro SD card. Oh well. I don't know how Samsung internalizes what markets get what. Usually South Korea gets the best extras and freebies though.
B&H had their own pre-order that was different than everyone else's, but it was only for unlocked phones. Their current offer is a Dex Pad Dock, and a Duo Charger when you buy the phone.

Like many of you, I have been looking for a wireless Qi charger while I wait for the orb to become available. I was interested in the LG charger but it continues to be driven up in price along with the Energizer charger.
Someone on these forums mentioned the Zens charger over at wpcentral and that there was a discount when you use "holiday12". The store is for windows phones (specifically the Lumia 920), but since it is Qi, it of course should work the same. I emailed Zens and asked about the Nexus 4. They responded to me in less than 4 minutes confirming it works with it perfectly. With the great customer service and quick response, I bought 2 for the house.
This was their response:
Hi Dan,
Thank you for your email and interest in our products. The ZENS Single Charger works perfectly with the Nexus 4 as they are both Qi compatible, no need for a extra sleeve.
Best regards,
Team ZENS

They are $48.95 each and you get free shipping over $50. I ordered 2 and with the "holiday12" coupon code, it brought my total to only $83.22.
This charger looks very stylish and does not slant like the Energizer. Our phones are so slick and I don't like having to put something down on the charger just to make it work (or having to rip out a speaker).

I'm actually still a little hesitant to order these based on information from any CSOs. Those from nokia claim to be based on Qi but there is still quite a number of users complaining about issues with it. Would love to hear an update/review from OP one you get it though.

You are looking at the multiple device charger. The single charger is $48.
As far as those who are concerned whether it will work correctly or not, the store has a very good return policy and will give free return shipping within 60 days.
I do see now that it is out of stock, but it looks like it still allows you to add it to the cart. When i bought, it showed an availability date of 12/12/12, as if they were not currently in stock then.

I know it shows out of stock, but it let me go all the way to credit card payment info. I think they might be accepting orders and will ship when they do get them in stock. Might be worth it since all of these chargers are getting snatched up or price jumps. Plus you get the holiday discount code.

That is indeed what they do. This is what they say when checking out.
Because your order contains out-of-stock item(s) (see above) and orders are held until they can ship complete, we can't guarantee delivery on a specific date. Please choose a shipping method, and we will ship your order as soon as possible. We do not bill until the day your order ships.

Inductive charging requires drive electronics and coils in both device and charger, increasing the complexity and cost of manufacturing.

Still 6 days left on this one. Approximately 15 euro's. Bought one for myself and one for a friend. They contain 4 battery cells each holding 2600mAh * 4 = is of course 10400mAh.

if 4 batteries are gray colored orginal
others fake like pink purple blue
I got mine in aliexpress and it was a fake. The packaging must have a XIAOMI original seal. Plus, check if you can charge the battery at the same time you use it to charge a device. If you can only do one of both, it's a fake and might damage your device or catch fire. I asked for a refund.

Thanks everyone for your reviews - they coincided with my NewTrent 5000mAh battery pack expiring, so I went and bought one from geekbuying.com
I was looking to avoid cheap copies, hopefully I have done so. It's a bit more expensive than the €15 quoted in the original post, it cost me €19.50 with free postage from the States.
It'll take a while to arrive I guess - I'm not holding my breath - I'll post my findings once it arrives.

This is the one: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/product-325638/
I bought one from link in first post for 20.99$+shipping: http://www.chinabuye.com/xiaomi-por...-m2-m2s-m3-red-rice-apple-and-android-devices.
It didn't came in plastic case but instead it came in white cardboard box, which can be seen in link above.
Still didn't open it to see which batteries are inside, but it's working ok so far. Charged phone few times and charged it 2 times. So far nothing is fried And, as GFXi0N suggested above, pass-through is working in my unit.
Also, based on images floating on the web, look of bank and cable looks like its real: http://en.miui.com/thread-19104-1-1.html
Just received mine, it took just 9 days (free postage) to reach Spain from geekbuying.com
Original packaging, as per the photos in the first thread. It took me about 5 minutes of struggling to get inside the clear plastic case, each end has a near-invisible piece of tape, in the shape of the case end!
I'm used to a 5000mAh pack, so this is bulky and heavy in comparison, but the additional weight and bulk is mathematical, can't do anything about that. Instructions in perfect Chinese. The on button switches on, and it will switch off after a few minutes of inactivity (I can confirm this) or if the maximum voltage is reached on the phone.
It charges while being charged, so that´s a good sign.
this is really a great quick way to charge your phone. I have the smaller battery pack and it does help in case of emergency. Got mine from: www.antelife.com.The 5200mAh was only $16 with free delivery. It is an original xiaomi product as well. I think they do the 10000 mAh for about $25

No, Electrical appliances draw the current they need up, to the maximum the charger supplies. So the N4 will draw approx 1Ah, whereas eg a tablet would need more than 2A, but would draw 2A
Ordered a few days ago the Xiaomi 10.400 in blue color from Geekbuying.
I know that they are selling the original one.
I hope that it will be small enough though to carry it inside small bags.

Ok, bought one from xiaomishop a month and a half ago. Opened a PayPal dispute some days ago because it still did not arrive. I live in Spain, not in Antarctica, for God's sake..... They keep claiming the tracking page states the package left Philippines a month ago or so..... So, what? The point is I don't have it after a considerable amount of time....

Any news on these bad boys. I heard its cheap as well.
Preordered mine yesterday - the first thing I'll get it an extra battery or two and a charging stand for them.
It's still early days, but one ali seller is claiming to have original batteries: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...ery-For-LG-T3-T5-T6-T7-T8-T9/32643903091.html at two for 15$, but no ratings or feedback
Haven't found any on ebay.
From what I can see from photos on the net the product number is: EAC63238801 LLL and it's a 4,40V battery.
If I search for the P/N I find a few sites with the battery at around 20€.
Edit: Just saw that a cradle and an extra battery is part of deal in the US: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g5/promo
Original is the brand lmao. Definitely third party cheapo chinese batteries.

I know it's barely been released but haven't found any replacement batteries, even lg oem for sale. If someone has a link I would appreciate it. Got a trip to Europe and we bought the phone specifically to be able to swap and go, not like last year when we spent much of the time charging my s6 since I was using the camera for the trip
I have a free one (OEM) w/charging stand and USB-C Adapter on the way, having purchased my LG G5 thru Best Buy for $99. My VZW line charge did go up $20/month. So as opposed to buying directly from Verizon and paying $26/month x 24 for $624, I pay $20/month x 24 for $480 + $99 = $579. You don't get the $10 adapter in the Verizon free package so hey, I'll take $55 saved.

If you pre-ordered through Verizon between 3-24 and 3-31 (like I did) you get the battery and cradle plus the 360 cam ($199 value). I pay Verizon $26/mo and they give me a $25/mo discount so my phone costs $1/mo for two years (excluding data plan, of course). I'll take that.
I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3/23. My free accessories arrived today via UPS in a padded envelope inside a cardboard box. Pictured left to right: Micro-USB to USB-C Adapter, Battery charging cradle, Extra battery.

If you live near a Best Buy, you should know that they will price match just about any site that isn't a deal-of-the-day, auction, or clearance website, as long as the item is new (not refurbished). If you didn't, now you do!
This is an extremely generous policy. When I worked at Big Blue, people rarely used it to its full potential, either because they weren't aware that they could price match or because they weren't aware that they could price match to almost any website. Luckily, I do know that they'll price match anywhere, anytime.
Very few stores are selling the fast wireless charging stand for less than $45-50. However, I found one that sells it for $30, located here. It's a real store, not an auction or clearance website, so they should be able to approve it. However, if they don't, sort this list by price and find the cheapest one that isn't eBay.
Here's proof that I managed a $40 discount without having to pay for or wait for shipping:

I apologize if this is a dumb question as I have never used wireless charging, but it is purely for convenience, correct? I assume you cannot use the phone while using wireless charging like you can use it if charging via wire?

Samsung's fast wireless charging is about the same speed as charging via 2A USB, but you can use it while it's charging if you leave it on the cradle. If you pick it up, though, it stops charging.

If you use speaker phone, wireless headphones, or wired headphones yes you can.. but the phone must remain on the charging pad in order to charge.
Prior to USB C it's been nice to not have to fumble around in the dark to figure out which direction to put the plug in.. you just plop the phone down and boom it starts charging. WIth USB C it will be a lot easier to insert the cable.. but now that I have wireless pads at home and work I'll still be using them because it's still easier then having to plug it in. Wired chargers do charge faster, just FYI. The Fast Qi wireless chargers charge about as fast as a conventional wall charger while the standard Qi chargers are pretty slow but just fine for overnight charging.
I'm mainly going to use mine at work. I'm on the phone a lot but also need to walk around, so it'll be nice not having to plug and unplug it every ten minutes. My first ever phone, the EVO 4G, had a wireless charging back that I used, and I miss that functionality a lot.
Thanks for sharing, I was able to pick one up after 20 minutes of waiting for a manager to price match.

If you live near a Best Buy, you should know that they will price match just about any site that isn't a deal-of-the-day, auction, or clearance website, as long as the item is new (not refurbished). If you didn't, now you do!
This is an extremely generous policy. When I worked at Big Blue, people rarely used it to its full potential, either because they weren't aware that they could price match or because they weren't aware that they could price match to almost any website. Luckily, I do know that they'll price match anywhere, anytime.
Very few stores are selling the fast wireless charging stand for less than $45-50. However, I found one that sells it for $30, located here. It's a real store, not an auction or clearance website, so they should be able to approve it. However, if they don't, sort this list by price and find the cheapest one that isn't eBay.
Here's proof that I managed a $40 discount without having to pay for or wait for shipping:
Happy shopping!

On their website, they say they only match like 6 websites (Amazon, TigerDirect, etc.). I hope the manager at my Best Buy is generous like yours, because they didn't have to match the price per their current policy.

I got mine at the Amazon price match. $42.. Its all good. Hella lot better than $70 or the ebay knockoffs.
They wouldnt do it here in jersry city nj best buy. They said its not one of there direct competitors. Even called bestbuy and they said no.
Well, no luck at my 3 Best Buys. They only price match certain stores, as I mentioned earlier. I did get them to price match Amazon (although they're not supposed to since it's out of stock for two months), for $46 or so. FYI, that website you saw it for $30 at is a scam. Look up reviews and BBC complaints. So I'll take the $46 price rather than order from them...

No dice with me. Tried Fry's too but they didn't even have the charging stand version lol.

No, black. The price has fluctuated up in the past week. It was $41.99 early last week. The more they sell the more the price ramps up usually. It comes with the adaptive fast charger as well... A very good deal.

You think I'm better off keeping this for roughly $50 after tax versus getting a 3rd party one for roughly $30 after tax, like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H...1_2?colid=2QFIZ0KL7GYER&coliid=I2GSRTH90B1QUR
I mean, it has great, reviews. Are there any major differences? I've heard talk of fans, warranty, charging block, etc.
Sent from my SM-N920V using XDA-Developers mobile app
The fact that the Samsung one has an official quality adaptive fast charger and its Samsung quality, its worth the extra $20 on the charger alone. Probably higher quality plastic etc. These devices have batteries that are sensitive to long term temps and cycles. I find that fast charging craps batteries out after a year or so. Being that the N7 is a sealed battery.... Im not taking any chances.
Anyone know if this would be good for overnight charging? In other words, does it stop charging after it hits 100% or is it going to mess up my battery leaving it on for that long? I know some stop charging and some don't. I would HOPE Samsung's own would be awesome and stop...

I'd try again when they're busy. When I went there managers weren't available so a sales rep looked up the site on the computer and was able to verify it. I think it's a combination of good timing and finding a manager that doesn't care enough to give you slack.

Of course it does, after full charge the indicator goes green and do not over charge the battery even if you leave it for the night. It's old news you can leave your phone plugged in for over night it's a smart phone for getting sake

Im gunna try again today at a different best buy. Hopefully they will do it. I have a $25 credit also. $5 for the quick charger sounds awesome. If not ill get it matched to amazon and use my credit.
Max Lee posted a video about this charger so I took a chance on it; I've never been more satisfied with a car charger.
It DASH Charges OnePlus devices, QuickCharges Samsung, LG, etc., and even Fast Charges iPhones. All of this for $23.99.
I've owned it since July with no issues (Specific devices tested: OnePlus 6, Note 9, iPhone X).
Check it out and read the reviews.

At this price you can just buy OnePlus own charger.

Hmm. You jumped on every negative. Do you you mind me saying you're coming across as a bit defensive here? Do you have a connection with the company?
From the 1 star reviews I read about the charger, they were upset the supplied cable does not fast charge for OnePlus. If you have your red OnePlus cable then it should be fine. The other 1 star review was because the ports were pushed down and unable to plug in cables and Amazon said the item was not eligible for return.

Are you trying to push a conspiracy that I'm employed by this company? Lol. I'm a nursing home administrator... I play with tech as a hobby and just thought I'd share what I thought was a good deal.
@t2jbird Thanks for this.
Is it available to purchase for UK residents ?
Can you post a link to the video review ?
Thanks.

Why not just buy OnePlus' own car charger which supports dash charging?

I like to switch phones very often. The more phones a car charger is compatible with, the better.
I bought that pack from AliExpress and everything is original, sealed and DashCharge works on it. 20 euros with coupons wire, car charge and wall charge DashCharge mode working fine.

So he's defensive because he clarified that this charger also fast charges other phones and brands? Easily offended much?

People usually are motivated by money or status; are you saying pure altruism drove you to post here? You posted something that OnePlus sells itself and costs about the same. I bought OP's car charger a year or so ago and it works perfectly - why bother with anything else.

Altruistic people exist. I'm sorry you don't know any of them. Lol. I've received no compensation, and will not, for this tiny thread on XDA.
3 points:
1. I've never left an Amazon review for this device.
2. This quick charges more than just OnePlus - OnePlus' charger does not.
3. This thread clearly isn't for you.
Have any of your current or excurrent family members been employed or have stock is said company. Hahaha.

Im not really sure I understand your logic here -
The OP linked a car charger with 2 ports (1 Dash, 1 regular), includes what seems to be an identical OnePlus cable for $24 usd (I cannot tell a difference between this and the original OnePlus cable), free shipping with Prime, and I received it in 1 day.
OnePlus' own car charger is only 1 port, includes charge cable, requires purchase of $100 to qualify free shipping, and you cannot receive it in 1 day. It also cost $30 usd.
The amazon looks like a better deal if you ask me. I can confirm the Amazon charge cable provides Dash charge because Im using it right now with OnePlus original Dash charger block as Im typing this.
