I just pre-ordered my galaxy s6 edge on amazon and i have a couple of questions:
1) Will the "Nexus Wireless Charger" sold by google work with my new S6 or i'll have to buy a new wireless charger???
2) Does the "Car wireless charger" sold by samsung charge slowly compared to "wired charging"??
3) I just checked my local samsung online store and only this car wireless charger (Model number: EP-HN910I) is listed. It also states it's for the galaxy note 4.
What is the difference with the one sold on the us online store (Model number: EP-HN910IBUSTA)??????
4) As for "wired car charger" i found this one by samsung (Model number: ECA-U21CBE).... will this charger charge the galaxy s6 as fast as possible in my car or there's something better??
Thanks in advance

Yes, the Nexus charger uses Qi so that should work with the S6.
2) Does the "Car wireless charger" sold by samsung charge slowly compared to "wired charging"??

Yes, Qi charging is slower than wired. Qi is currently limited to 5W (1A) for phones and as far as I know Samsung arn't doing anything to go higher than this. Samsung's car charger should be similar to your nexus charger. By wire it supports fast charging (~15W), but any decent 10W (2A) charger will be twice as fast as wireless.
Edit: I obviously havent tried this with the S6 and Samsung's charger, but my experience in the past is a good Qi charger will slowly charge a phone while you are using GPS with screen brightness turned up. It is slow though, the charger is barely providing more power than the phone is using.

I don't know the answer to this. I would guess there is no difference.

That is a 2A charger. (10W).
The phone supports faster but I am not sure if there is a suitable car charger yet. There may never be because Samsung's support page says fast charging only works when the screen is off so it is probably pointless in a car.
wireless charging is much slower.. but not only is it slower, it heats up the battery more and puts more wear on the battery as well due to heat and wasted energy involved with wireless charging.
for car charger i would recommend the RavPower, it puts out 2.4A per jack and you can charge 3 deices at the same time and use your own USB cables.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OT7PJ60/
or the Anker, includes 1 cable, but 1 less port
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/
they also sell it for 2 bucks cheaper without the cable... both chargers have great reviews, and both will charge the phone as fast as possible.
Thank you very much for both of your help!!!
You cleared all my doubts!!
I just ordered the anker car charger from amazon!!!
Thanks again.
why not use a qualcomm 2.0 car charger. I do agree about the wireless charging.

The Galaxy S6 doesn't have a qualcomm processor so it shouldn't make a difference right??
Doesn't Samsung use a proprietary solution when it comes to fast charging???

the QUALCOMM chargers (either wall or car) will work with s6 or s6 edge. The fast charging capability is a feature that I really like

it will charge, but unless you have a Qualcomm 2.0 phone any other phone you plug in will just "adapt" to the fastest charge rate in this case will be 5V @ 2.1-2.4A.

I tested an S6 with a QUALCOMM 2.0 charger and did get message that 'fast charger' connected. So S 6 and S 6 Edge will provide fast charge with a Qualcomm fast charger

did you measure the Amps and Volts? anything above 2A is "fast charge"
in order for it to be the "fast charge" it has to be @ 9 Volts not the typical 5V.
not saying the S6 won't work with Qualcomm, because i don' t have a phone to test the amps, but mostly only phones with Qualcomm chips are the ones that support Qualcomms own "fast charge" mode, and samsung S6 has no Qualcomm. one would think it would be a license patent thing that wouldn't be compataible with just any device..

The new Samsung Wireless Charging Pad being released alongside the Galaxy S6/Edge is actually a 2A charger.

Does it actually output 2A to the phone? The sticker on the back says "Input: 2A", but it is normal for the transmitters to have a higher input than output current. I think they will have just put 2A to match the output rating of the wired charger it goes with. The S5 charger pad also says "Input: 2A" and that was a normal 5W pad.
The Samsung S6 Pad is listed on the WPC page as a "Lower Power Transmitter", which means 5W max. They did recently increase the Qi standard to 15W, but that is only a draft specification (called Medium Power) and they are not listing any products available with it at the moment. (And of course, it would be at least 3A in).
I am not saying it definitely doesnt support fast charging - TI have a transmitter/receiver solution which is 10W but also supports Qi 5W (though that needs 12v in so isn't used here). If they supported something like this though I am sure they would have mentioned it. Plus the need to support PMA on the receiver would have limited their choices of receiver chip. I wouldn't be surprised if they are using TI's solution, which is 5W.

I wondered that as well, though I wasn't able to actually find any hard evidence one way or another. Even the listing for the item on Best Buy doesn't mention it (or at least it didn't last night). Might just have to take the wait-and-see approach with this one. Taken at face value though, the possibility is there. My gut says you're probably right though.
i have a spare motorola turbo charger (qualcomm 2.0 quick charger) that came with my droid turbo. I preordered the s6 edge and was wondering if the turbo charger will work with fast charging of the s6 edge? just want to clarify. thanks

Yeah if fast charging is what you're looking for that's definitely the way to go.
The alternative wireless solution is to simply get a wireless power bank, but of course that still won't charge quickly; though they are less cumbersome.

i have s6 gold edge, it does show "fast charger connected" when connected to a charger with qualcomm 2.0 fast charge.
if it charging at typical 5v, this "fast charger connected" would not shows up.
So I bought the Samsung Wireless Charger for the Note 5. Has anyone used this charging pad with Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 adapter? It pauses all the time while charging. I am wondering if they aren't compatible or whether the Charging pad was counterfeit.
Probably not compatible. You're not the only one. See my post here. I simply use mine with the adaptive fast charger it came with & have no issues.
WHat is a good wireless charger for the Edge phone? I prefer not to alway connect with the cable......
Choetech has a few fast wireless chargers listed on Amazon.
1: Single Coil - Pad-type
2: Single Coil - Circle-type with Smart Lighting
3: 3 Coils - Pad-type with Smart Lighting
I was researching this yesterday. What you have to remember about wireless pads is that typically a 2.0 pad will charge similar to a Non fast Charge 2 plugin-in charger. So like a standard charger. Once 3.0 ones are out I assume it will be a similar scenario. Hopefully some day down the line they will be just as fast as their plugin counterparts.
As far as those links above, 10w max isn't very strong considering a plugin 3.0 is about 18w and even a 2.0 is 15w. So 10 watt seems pretty dinky for a wireless still. Still I guess better than the old 5 watt ones.
Tronsmart is making a fast charging capable qi charger which should be nice. I used to have a TYLT VU (angled qi charger) for my Nexus 6 that as great. I would buy an angled one because it's easier to see your phone on and impossible to not have it charge.

After some more digging I found this: Nekteck Wireless Charging Pad (18w QC 2.0 Adaptive)
Looks very promising; 18w, slightly tilted instead of laying down flat, smart lighting.

Correct. You can also buy a "QC 2.0 Adaptive Fast Charger" like this.
please use the Samsung original or certified third-party 18W QC 2.0 adapter as its power source.
Already got one on order so maybe will get this too. Keep in mind that still this will NOT charge as fast as a 3.0 18w direct plug. Not sure why that ends up being the case, but that is what I have read.
BUT::: Lower down on the order page it say:
"Fast Charge Model(10W Output Max) ONLY "
So does that mean if you have an 18w source it still only delivers 10w to the phone? Seems hardly worth it. I sent them an inquiry about this. (it's not listed on their website)

I received that charger 3 days ago.
I can not test it on the S7 just yet of course, however I have tested it on other phones and it does charge faster than a standard Qi wireless charger does.
I will post up some information about this charger, and the Cheotech 10w circle fast charger that I have also, as soon as the phones arrive.

if you could do a compare with the plug-in 2.0 charger, that would be great.
Hi guys, I'm new to wireless charging, and I'm a bit confused as to which wireless fast charger I should buy for the S7...is there anything different about the wireless charging on the S7 than the S6, Note 5, etc.? Are there new chargers coming out soon that are somehow better than the ones currently on the market? I'm just wondering which charging pads would give me the fastest charge. If anyone could shed some light on this for me, that'd be helpful
Here is what i got for our Note 5's, my wife and I both have one. They have worked great so far. You need to use your Samsung fast charging adapter with it. For $19.99 I could not be happier.

My Choetech fast wireless charging pad still works great so far. I will recommend Choetech. Very stable and warm slightly. They have many kinds of wireless chargers, which has lots of good feedbacks on Amazon. :good:
Well now that there is a report that the s7 and s7e do not support quick charge 3.0 (sad) I'm not sure what's what.
I have this one: www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-Pad-CHOE-Qi-Enabled-Adaptive/dp/B016DAFUGY
Works REALLY well for me, charges a lot faster than the old Nokia DT-900 pads I have scattered around the house. Choetech is sending me their newest model to test, so I'll have a writeup for it here soon. Maybe a week or so?

That looks like a good one. I have a pad already, If I use one of the new power supplies will the charge fast, or need to upgrade the pad????
You'll need to use a Quickcharge 2.0 plug, to have it fast charge. It's not going to go any faster if you use a QC 3.0 unit though.
This is what I have now
Hey people,
Anyone got this charger(picture below) and managed to get fast wireless charging working? I've tried it with the original Samsung power adapter+cable and it didn't work, it's just charging at 5W. There's a video on youtube where you can see a previous note model using fast charging, so I don't think it's false advertising. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caRtqv27tPY&feature=youtu.be&t=242 , the red cable doesn't fast charge, the black one, supposedly the one that came with the qi box, does fast charge).
Also someone mentioned in another thread that the previous Samsung adapters worked but the note 9 doesn't for some reason. It's very confusing, so maybe someone has cracked this.

I fast wireless charge mine using a Ravpower Wireless charger, it does indeed charge at the 10W it's rated for, I've confirmed with an inline USB power meter.
To be able to use fast wireless charging, I have it connected to a QC 3.0 port on a multi port QC charger and it works fine. Not near it currently, so can't test with the Samsung charger. Do you have any other QC chargers you could try?

No, sadly the only one I have is a OnePlus dash charger and this one only uses 5V (you need 9V for fast charge from what I know), so it's just charging at 5W.
But yeah I'd really appreciate you trying it out, since what I need right now is just any adapter that might work.

Just tested and I can confirm, the Samsung charger did not work, I just got the Wireless charging message. Connecting the wireless charger back to it's normal port and I get "Advanced wireless charging".
Although my Wireless charger claims to support QC 2.0, I can't think of any reason why the Samsung QC 2.0 charger wouldn't work.
Using wireless charger BW-FWC5 + wall adapter BW-S6 in QC port, both from blitzwolf and i have fast charging.

Well I'm not familiar with all the details behind wireless charging so I cannot really tell, but thanks to both of you, I think the issue is now resolved on my end. I'll either just buy the blitzwolf adapter or try with another QC3.0 adapter.

As far as I know, only the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger 2.0 will give you full 15W wireless charging.
Anything else (even if rated for 15W or above) will supply standard Qi wireless wattage of upto 10W (mostly 7.5 to 9 W)
Got an OMARS white brand 15W wireless charger and it only charges at the 10W level.

U can use the samsung official 25w charger or a non branded one 25w and above and u can get good 15w or supported wireless charging with the supported wireless charger
Never mind
I tried with my huawei 15w wireless charger says its charging fast. I use with the 40w power supply of my huawei phone. Only proble is the pad its small and have to align precise because of the camera bump.
Pd. Its any way to know it is the phone is charging at 10w or 15w? Only says fast wireless charging.
My wireless charger has three different LED's for charging, yellow for 5W, green for 10W and blue for 15W, I'd guess if you have no other way to tell, you have to go by the time it takes for it to charge.
