Accessories are always a wild card. Did we really just drop the 45W charging feature on the Note 20/ Ultra? Specs only listing the 25W. I have the official 45W accessory and other chargers that support the proper profiles for the PPS to work. Seems like wasted tech at this point.
Or is there something I'm missing?
Keep it for when it is reintroduced next year. If the rumors prove right we might have to purchase chargers separately anyway (or make do with old ones)

I'm currently using one of the HyperJuice 100W for my devices https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-100w-gan-charger/posts/2919125?ref=activity
and this one on order https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-100w-gan-charger/posts/2909520?ref=activity
That HyperJuice looks cool, but from the comments, it looks like people are having random issues with the charger and actually getting the charger..... I have been happy with Anker chargers anyway. I already have their newer PD car charger like 38 or 42 watts or what ever it is. I have not upgraded my wall chargers from Anker yet..... I am waiting for a 6 port USB C PD charger, but I doubt that will come out for a while because it would need to be over 100 watts.
samsung really watered down the note this year 45w charging is just one of the compromises on this device unfortunately.
not that there was a huge difference in 25 and 45 w charging times but thats not the point. The Note is supposed to be the workhorse the flagship so they should not be removing features.

I'm wondering is that a software flip they can make to enable it. I bought one for our two N10+ and when I need a lot of charge in a pinch, it delivers. I have it in the kitchen as central location. Forgot to charge it at night, getting ready in the morning, running down to 5%...set it for 15-20 minutes and we're good.
I don't know what crawled up Samsungs back side but it seems like we're being prepped for loss of features as a bonus for premium prices.
Headphone jack
FM Antenna
45watt charging
smaller storage
smaller battery
wired earphones
and soon to be charging brick.
Personally I'd like them to ditch the curved edges.

Just remember. When you're dealing with happy people, they tend not to post about it. When you're dealing with upset people, they tend to scream from the rooftops in our heard the loudest. Same with posting online...
I've had mine for a while now, and no issues at all with the hyperjuice. some of the edges were little sharper than I liked, I simply sanded them down and no issues.
The only real complaint I had was, it didn't support the full Gambit of USB PD profiles. So no PPS like Samsung was touting. Now that other one by CIO does support PPS and all the other standards. That one is really exciting to me

[emoji817] 100% I've been preaching and asking for the ir port to be brought back. I stuck with my note 4 through many generations until I killed it and couldn't get parts anymore for it.
@rosedog
Has to have the proper chipset #1
And also has to have compatible battery chemistry. The thicker charging leads on the boards, thermal sensors. Etc. Could be there. Guess we will find out soon enough with teardowns.
i bought a used alcatel 7, it has IR.
i carry it when i go travel, to change hotel tv input so i can stream my video.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a car charger for the Nexus 6? I drive a lot, and need to be able to give it a quick charge.
I'm open to cheap and expensive options, I just need a good quick charger.
Well, I used the Nexus wireless charger for my N5 in my car. (Some cars support USB natively. For those that don't, any 2A Auto-to-USB -- or even better, Auto with corded microUSB -- adapter will work.) The magnets keep the N5 locked in place, so it doesn't bounce off, and there were no cables to fiddle with when placing the phone on (or taking it off) the charger. True, you had to get a bit creative if you wanted it mounted, but that usually wasn't too difficult. Personally, the N5 with charger fit perfectly in my center console, so mounting issues weren't a concern.
We'll have to see whether or not the N6 will support the magnetic mount for wireless chargers at all, and if it does, how well does it stay in place? If it works as well as the N5, then the Nexus wireless charger would be my top recommendation for a car charger.

Very interested in this. Ironically I could care less about quick charge at home... I always plug my phone in when I'm driving, and I work out of town so it's a lot. I wonder if using quick charge daily for am hour or so each way would hurt the phone... my phone already gets pretty hot driving with streaming music and navigation/waze.

That's actually the cheapest of the quick chargers I've found so far but yeah $30 is pushing it. I have found myself with a low charge on the OPO before where a quick charger would have been helpful. Instead I've had to use a NewTrent battery pack with it and the phone stuck in my man purse.
I use the Scosche USBC242M it's a dual port charger. Each port is 12 watts(2.4A). Its pretty fast, I believe the certified quick charge 2.0 ones are 15 watt ports.

Looks like it's a more flush fitment too, whereas the rest are much taller.
I've used some Pure-Gear cables before. They were not manufactured well at all. They were also mislabeled as to what type.
Remember everybody, if you use a 2A car charger, which now seem to be widely available, you also must use the proper cable or you won't get the full current.
This Mediabridge is my favorite charging cable:

I can vouch for the incipio car charger, acts very similarly to the turbo charger and definitely charges faster than any car charger I've personally used. Pricey, but the tradeoff is worth it

I ordered the neobits charger that was linked earlier. I like the idea of the new turbo style charger in the car. Price is deceptive because the cheapest shipping option is $14...

It works and everything but it isn't as flush mount as the design would seem to indicate. It sticks out a little which kind of annoys me. It is more minimal than any other car quick charger I have seen though so I guess it's ok.
Has anyone come across other wall Quick chargers that are smaller / lower profile than the motorola one? Looking for something a bit more conducive to traveling with.
Thanks!

The charger above has a slimmer profile on a power strip than the Motorola "fat" pack (pictured below).
I'm still looking for a charger that is no wider than the typical charger like a Samsung or HTC charger. Something that fits easily in airplane receptacles. Can be as deep as needed I.e. extend off the wall or outlet...
Many protrusions prevent the Moto quick changer not able to seat all the way our at an awkward angle that allows the charger to fall out of the outlet easily.

That's interesting because from the photo you posted it looks to be just about as wide as the Moto charger across the face with the prongs. On Delta MD-88 particularly the faces hits the bevels and the blades dont go in all the way to make consistent contact.
MD90 is basically as bad:
But truthfully I forgot that I am holding out looking a QC2.0 true "travel" charger that has international tips. that isn't wide as a bus or at least the tips push the bulk away from the blades. Thankfully they have replaced nearly all those deep recessed outlets that were on B767 which I assume you took to Brazil..
So any ones with travel tips?

Just telling you it worked for me.
On the way down I used just the charger, as is.
Coming back, I had high quality Brazilian plug adapter still connected to the charger (from using it in Brazil), so I kept that on while charging on the Delta flight back. Didn't see the need to remove the adapter, and possibly lose it.
You can buy one of those and there's your travel tips.

Another nice thing about the charger I found it is it automatically detects voltage and adjusts as needed. 100 volts - 240 volts. All the outlets in the charging stands at the Sao Paulo airport were 220 volts, while residential Sao Paulo uses 127 volts. Before I plugged it into the airport charging stand, I went back to the Amazon description just to make sure I wasn't about to burn up my phone or the charger...

Those things are BULKY lol. But yea they would do the trick. The best part about these higher quality chargers is that they can accept that wide voltage window without an external transformer. a la the old International Blackberry chargers. So if they just made them with the interchangeable tips there'd be nothing else to get. I need at least the UK, EU, and possibly Australian tips. So it's alot to keep up with when they are bulky like that but I guess I could just use one of those where they slid out different tips from the same cylinder.

I'm a little dubious as to the amount of wattage that thing will be kicking out, and whether the battery will take it long term without damage. I think I'd rather avoid potential overheating of the battery and go with the new official S7 one, given that it's designed for it. Overheating of batteries is the thing that reduces their lifespan more than anything else, and unlike previous generations these things will be damn difficult to change without a return to Samsung, especially if you want to have a hope in hell of keeping your IP68.
I've seen reports that the s7 is fully capable of accepting 15 w wirelessly.

I agree. If it's true that it supports 15w, why not have offcial 15w wireless chargers. Seems a bit dodgey to me. I won't believe it until I see/hear it from Samsung directly.
I've only seen the one report on if from cio. I've emailed samsung myself to try and find out.
The nekteck (according to them) produces 13.5w for $25 on sale. I'm not going to spend $70 for 1.5 extra watts.
Okay I found out for myself from Samsung and it is confirmed that it accepts 15w.

Reason why Samsung doesn't have the 15 Watt charger
Hi all, here's an attempt to explain the details around the 5 / 10 / 15 watt charging Qi charging rate...
So far virtually Qi Certified products sold are operating on the Qi 1.1 standard, which has an output effect of 5 Watts. This is obviously equal to 1 Amp / 1.000 mA. The real "net charging" (as measured using the "Ampere" app) is about 400-600 mA in my Samsung Galaxy S6, which sounds about right. This means you will likely experience a "net loss" if you are driving with the screen set on full brightness, using GPS navigation, streaming music etc. At home it usually doesn't matter because at most we are streaming music and the screen is off.
Samsung created their own proprietary 1.1 solution for Galaxy Edge phones whereas they boosted the power higher, resulting in a net charging rate of 800mA or even higher at times. However, this only works with Samsung's OEM wireless chargers (for Qi Certified products).
The new Qi 1.2 standard, which support 15 Watts, or 3 Amps/ 3.000 mA charging rate, was published in 2015 and is being implemented as we speak. When Samsung announced the Galaxy S7 they confirmed a few days later that this is indeed featuring a 1.2 Receiver (RX) module, which makes it first mainstream phone with this new standard.
As the 1.2 standard is new my personal guess (?) is that there was not enough time for Samsung to offer a Certified 1.2 Qi transmitter when they announced the Galaxy S7 in Februari. We can surely expect Qi 1.2 Certified TX's from Samsung later in the year.
With 15 Watt you can likely expect the net charging rate to be in the 7-10 Watt range. Anything that fast will obviously translate into a subjective "fast charging" experience even if the phone is used with "everything on". Pretty cool stuff....
I would recommend to wait with buying any product until we see "Qi Certified" products. Also confirm that the product is listed on the PowerConsortium's product page (link). Keep in mind that "Compatible" is completely different then "Certified" in the Qi world and with high output power there's more room for quality issues with your battery if the TX module is not "Certified". Amazon will be "full" with "Qi 1.2 compatible" products soon but I would not use my $600+ phone on a non-certified charger yet. Also, there still some discussions going on in the supply chain side how to power a true 1.2 certified TX charger as the max output of a certified microUSB is well below the 15 Watt required to power the board.
Here's a good presentation from the Power Consortium (Qi) on the road map.
Great if you comment if I'm wrong or if you have questions. Cheers!
Actually I don't think I could have put it better myself except I thought the version 1 was 5w, version 1.1 was 10w or "fast charging", and 1.2 was the new 15w format?
*Disclaimer*.....the S7 does not support Quick Charge 3.0. It only supports 2.0 but I may be picking up the G5 or HTC 10 which does support it.
I needed a new/extra charger so I figured I'd get something that supports the latest Quick Charge technology.
The charger itself feels well made. The prongs fold in for traveling purposes and it doesn't block the outlet/outlets sitting next to it. In regards to noise this charger makes none of it. Those who have used cheap chargers know the humming/buzzing noise I'm referring to. It's extremely annoying.
Now onto the part that really matters. I haven't had the time to compare this charger to the stock Samsung charger in regards to really putting them through the paces but early results look promising for the Anker.
I started the charge process with quick charge enabled at 5% and started a timer for 30 minutes. The stock Samsung charger was able to bring the battery to 43% while the Anker charger brought the battery to 52%.
Within the next few days I will do a test from 5% to 100% both with quick charge enabled and disabled.
On a side note I also picked up a 6 foot kevlar wrapped Anker micro USB cable. It feels well made and the connections are nice. I probably wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale but I needed a new long micro USB cable.
So far I'd have to say that if you need another charger and you want Quick Charge 3.0 for another phone then go ahead and grab one. If you don't really need another charger or don't need Quick Charge 3.0 then I wouldn't waste the money on one unless you really want the slightly faster charging for the S7 Edge.

No, it will charge at the same speed as a QC 2.0 charger since there S7/S7E don't support QC 3.0
That's exactly what I asked, re qc2.0 but thanks for clarification, I wasn't sure if qc3.0 was 'backwards compatible' kind of thing

silly noob question alert:
Will qc 3.0 devices, charge the s7 edge at qc 2.0/fast charge rates?
Assuming you used an s7 for your charging experiments above, then it appears they do....thanks for post

Yes, quick charge 3.0 compatible with all qc2.0 supported devices, like S7 edge.
So I search on Amazon and find that Anker, iClever, Aukey released their new quick charge 3.0 usb chargers.
Could you check the numbers with Galaxy Charging Current?
When you refer to the Samsung stock charger, do you mean the wired one or the Samsung Fast Charge wireless charger?

Wired. I have no use for wireless chargers.
Once you go wireless you don't go back. lol I hate wires. I have four wireless chargers. Three were pretty much free. With T-Mobile Jump (phone junkie) I just sell my fast charging cablez and headphones for a few bucks since I don't need anymore. So why didn't Samsung put 3.0 charging in the S7 Edge?
I guess they designed the phone before quick charge 3.0 was available? Maybe it hurt they're bottom line? I don't know but whatever the reason it was a stupid decision.
The reason I don't like wireless chargers is because the only time I ever charge my phone is either in the car or while laying in bed. In both places I like using the phone while it charges.

No, QC has it as part of the SoC, si its supported technically but Samsung chose not to use it for an unknown reason.
They disabled it in the Snap dragon version because the other phone with their own SOC wouldn't support it so to keep the 2 on parity they disabled ours.
I'm trying to decide whether to get a wireless charger for my S7 Edge. I have looked at a few options but can't seem to find one that meets my requirements. Reviews often mention a noise when charging which, as it will be right next to my bed, is a definite no-no. Also I don't want any bright lights as my OH already complains about the amount of lights showing from my night-time tech plugged in. I could tape over small lights though.
I'm not bothered about fast charging as it would be overnight. Obviously reliability is important and not heating up too much. Any recommendations please? I am in the UK.
I had a look at the Spigen but I have very little room next to my bed and it would take up a lot of room. I have heard that the official Samsung is noisy while charging?
I bought a Bedside table with wireless charging at IKEA model "SELJE" it works great no noise!
It has a small led when charging is activated, but it is covered by the phone so no problem it lights...

You can charge 2 devices at the same time since the charger also has a USB port.
Max. power induction charging: 5W.
1 USB port.
Voltage USB port: 5Vdc.
Current USB port: Max. 2000mA.
Wow, I never knew these existed! Sadly, my bedroom furniture is all oak so this table wouldn't fit in very well.

I bought a CHOETECH some time ago. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.de/CHOETECH-Indu...eräte-schwarz-Schwarz-mit-Kabel/dp/B015K8D8WI
Placed it on my bedside table and it works perfect. Not too large and no noise at all; it does have some LED's to indicate charging (different color for slow or fast) but they are automatically dimmed when it's dark. In an almost completely dark room I really have to look very good to see if they are on
HappyLlama can you let me know what model number this one is please. I can't find it on the link you've given and would like to find it in the UK.

I like the look of the Seneo too but have found a very useful review of the ChoeTech 518 on You Tube and it seems to have everything I need so I'm going to order that. Thanks for everyone's help.

Had to look for the box It's the T518
This is the 1 I use, it's a CHOETECH and it charges extremely fast, it's noise free, it's very compact and I couldn't be happier!

That's the same one I have. It works great but since it's on my nightstand and I use my phone as a night/alarm clock, I had to put a piece of tape over the front LED as it was too bright for a dark room.
There's some guy selling official Samsung chargers for like £5 on eBay now. I think they're probably the S6 version, which means only 1amp output.... but absolutely perfect for charging your phone at night
That's what I'm using, they look ****ing sweet too haha.

Ummm.... That statement doesn't compute. I'm 99.9% sure they're cheap knockoffs.

Yeah maybe, they look real though and they work well.
Just ordered this one. Will keep you updated

I just got a official Samsung wireless charger but it just says "Wireless charging has paused" all the time, so im thinking of buying another one. Im looking at this atm, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FQTMOBC/ref=noref?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics - Will it fast charge my Exynos version of S7 Edge? It seems its Quick Charge 2.0 as in only supports Snapdragon version. If not, can anyone recommend or say what I need to look at for a fast charge wireless stand? Its important its a stand.
Its input values, right? On the Samsung official one it says "Input 5.0V::::2.0A 9.0V:::::1.67A"
Thanks alot!
