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).

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.

wot? Because it's a little warmer climate-wise means ur phone gets so much hotter under charging conditions? My heating could be on in my house for all u know. Nice try.

Mind if I ask, as i'm not really into this.
Does it 'damage' anything, if using 2.1A, as I already have such a charger?

I have a Maxboost car charger that I bought from Amazon (US). And it has two USB ports. One 2.0 amps and the second is 2.4 amps. I've used both on my iPhone 6 and Note 4 without any issues.

It's not like the charger "pushes" current into your phone, but rather how much current the charger is able to provide if a device tries to "pull" that amount of energy from the charger. A charger rated at wrong(to high) voltage will on the other hand damage your device.

So shortly, Amp doesn't matter, but Voltage do?
Voltage should be 5, right?

Hi guys,
I want to buy a extra charger for my 6P at work. I am wondering what specs should I be looking for for the quick charging capability? The google store has one that is 15W and another one that is higher. I don't know which one to choose, also, I want to see if I can buy any 3rd party one from Amazon that can give me quick charging.
Thanks!
I would stick with the one sold by Google until 3rd parties make one similarly specced. 5v / 3a / 15ww, USB type C plug.

I think everyone has the same questions regarding chargers and cables. It's probably best to try and get by with what's in the box for a bit, I'm sure affordable choices will soon be available.

There are 2 options now from Google, but I wouldn't call them cheap. I bought the $40 dual port charger for my bag because it seems nice, and if it sucks I can easily send it back.

Unless it supports 3A at 5V then probably not. any QC 2.0 charger will only output 2.0A at most for 5V so that's not fast charging.

I don't think he understood the question? I would wait for a clearer answer
Won't it work with any Qualcomm QC 2.0 power adapter (outputting 5, 9 and 12V) and with a suitable USB-C lead? I am hoping that will be the case anyway, as I've got two QC 2.0 adapters for home and 1 car charger adapter. Should keep me covered, and all I'll need to do is buy new USB-C cables.

He answered it below... That was with a QC2.0 charger giving him "2A" input according to Android OS.
Basically the phone shows "faster charging" when anything higher amperage gets used, not just native usb-c. The speed it charges is obviously not the same, but at least it utilizes a higher rate.

I didn't see the 2A part just the fast charging. That's better than nothing but still not technically fast charging

Assuming 15W is considered Fast Charging, then Type C has nothing to do with it. Current QC 2.0 chargers pump 18W via Type A to Micro B cables.
It is the limited design of the 6P that requires a Type C end to end solution (or captive charger) to permit fast charging. A little more thoughtful design choices would have allowed 18W via a Type A to Type C cable in the same way as the QC chargers operate by over charging a stupid cable or by respecting USB Power Delivery at 12V/1.5A in a smart cable solution.

It can't go over 5V we have been over this before... So yes the Type-C doesn't affect the charging but the pin layout and chip only supports 5V from what has been seen so far.

I concur, but it is important to dispel the marketing nonsense that Type C some how represents a "Fast Charging" solution. It is a connector and would have supported much better "Fast Charging" solutions than a steady state 5V solution. It will perform very well from 0% charge, but will lag higher voltage solutions at the other end of the charging cycle.

Sorry, this is not true. The higher voltage of the power delivery has no effect on charging speed given the same total power. This is especially true at the top end of the battery SOC where the charge rate is limited by the battery chemistry.
I know a lot of discussions are going on around the custom nature of the 45W charger, but has anyone noticed that the 25W charging is also custom? From what I can find there is no 25W profile in the PD spec, and the phone/charger uses 12V, 2.1A for achieving 25W charging and any PD charger will only charge at either 18W or 15W?
Am I missing something?

Are you using a usb-pd charger? If so then it means it's a fault HDMI adapter with a poor implementation of USB c protocols
Not sure why chose such an expensive adapter. With zero reviews.

Did some more reading regarding pd; does the one plus charger downgrade to the 5V3A Standard of Power Delivery if it can't do 30watt warp charge? If it doesn't it would appear that I have yet to test using a pd charger.

No. Usb-pd only works with usb-c at all connection points. You need a charger that has usb-pd.

Thanks, I figured this out, 2.4 amps is not enough, as long as I use a 3.0 amp source my phone charges fine with HDMI in use on my ADATA HDMI Adapter:laugh:
