Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Charger

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.

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

Keep in mind though it is indeed simply 2A input. Only 1A output.

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.

[Q] Resistor configuration for S6 Edge fast charger?

I built a portable 2A charger for my S4 using a 8Ah 12V LiPo battery, a little Chinese DC/DC converter, some resistors on Veroboard and the female end of a short USB extension cable.
This has served me well for the past 2 years, on trains, planes, and in airports around the world, (I get 5-6 empty to full charges from one overnight charge of the LiPo) but my S6 Edge 128GB arrives next week and I'd like to take advantage of the faster charging.
The DC/DC converter is good up to 5A at 5V output, so it shouldn't be the limiting factor. The resistor configuration I used to indicate to the S4 that the charger supports 2A charging are from another XDA thread.
However, does it work the same way for the S6, and what are the resistor values?
Thanks in advance

Right, now I've received my S6 Edge, and the charger is apparently dual-voltage, so that puts my hopes of an easy upgrade to rest.
It's a bit thicker than the normal chargers and is labelled "Adaptive Fast Charging". On the specifications label, it has:
OUTPUT:
9.0V 1.67A or
5.0V 2.0 A
I guess it uses some kind of handshake to switch to 9V output, so it's no longer just a matter of the right resistors.
The good news is that it seems to charge with 2A with my standard S4 resistor configuration, so I guess I can live with that.

Question Compatible 15w wireless chargers?

Hi guys,
I've noticed Samsung S21 ultra supports 15w wireless charging - I was just wondering if all 15w wireless chargers were compatible? Or whether they specifically have to support "Samsung fast charge 2.0" - like the official chargers?
Wondering what others have bought? Let me know! Thanks!

I've been doing some research, I know that Samsung devices are supported by QC 3.0... but just wondered if this is true for wireless charging? Will generic 15w wireless chargers work? Would be much cheaper!

While generic 15w chargers will work, there are other factors that needs to be considered. Such as what kind of brick you are using with the charger and things like how thick the case you are using.
Sammy only have one 15w charger and that is OG stand. The other sammy fast wireless charger is 9w (input still requires 15w though)
Can't comment whether which 15w is reliable or not as they are 3rd party and varies from company to company.

A fair point. I guess if you use a QC 3.0 brick with at least 15w output - with a 15w wireless charging pad it should theoretically work then?
Be interesting to see which ones people find works for them!

Probably works but wireless charging is inefficient and needlessly raises the battery temp which is detrimental to its longevity in the long run.

An 8 W Samsung wireless charger does not heat up the S21 ultra more than the 15 W charger I have (this cames with my Note 9). I would think a 25 Watt charger would heat it up more. The reason I bought the wireless charger was for my Note 9 and now the S21 ultra is that my Note 9, despite considerable babying, is showing some issues with the socket (it often will show cable charging instead of fast charging and despite changing cables, cleaning out the socket with compressed air and a toothbrush etc). So yes, in general you are correct but socket wear must not be discounted.

I hear what you're saying about the port. I do a lot of partial midrange charges so 3-4 times a day isn't uncommon.
The biggest thing is not to hit/drop it when a cable is connected.
Battery or port assembly the phone needs to come apart...

I have a couple of these wireless chargers. Mine are an older version that don't have a USB plug at the charging pad (mine has a non-removable wire from the pad). I can't seem to find specs on their site now, but when I bought mine they claimed they were 15w. I only bought them for how they look. I personally don't care how fast they charge, I prefer slow charging for better battey life, I'll use wired chaging when I need something faster. I have fast wireless charging disabled on my phone. But I just checked it, if I enable it, it does say "fast wieless charging" on the sceen when I place it on the pad, and the time to full charge is a little quicker than with fast wireless charging disabled. Still not as fast as wired though.

So the best way to check this is to download Ampere!
Grab it from Google play store, install it, and then open it while you are charging the phone on different wireless pads.
You work out the Watts by using;
Amps x Voltage
Let me know how it goes!

Looking for a wireless car charger

Hello! I'm looking for a wireless car charger for my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra. My Baseus charger (on the screenshot) broke after only a year of usage.
It has 10w output and so when the navigation is on it only helps keep the charge.
Sometimes Xiaomi 20w car charger is recommended but according to reviews it still chargers Note 20 Ultra with 10 watts, 20w is only for Xiaomi charging protocols.
Can you advise me a charger that is compatible with and can charge the device with more than 10w?

Just look in Amazon, there's a lot of them that offer different watts for charging, not expensive either unless you go with name brand

I am looking for one as well. I have two scosche magicmount chargers that are fast charge. The 9v 1.67A or roughly 20 watts, but these will only charge the new note 20 ultra at 10w. From what I can tell they start off fast charging then the phone stops them and only allows the 10w. I took one of these apart along with a Samsung branded fast charger, the biggest difference I saw right away was the samsung charger had dual coils. So I think that may be the difference the phone recognizes because the voltage and amperage are the same.
I'd like to find one that has the same or similar magnetic mounting system. Its mostly a matter of convenience but also I have used clap ones before, not all were wireless chargers but the manual one often broke on me and the one automatic one I have has a touch button on the side that is very sensitive, so it often releases when I don't mean for it too.
@adj998 Yes there are plenty on Amazon, but unfortunately it seems Samsung has deemed this single coil wireless chargers as inadequate and disables fast charging on them.

How has this Xiaomi charger fared? And how fast does it charge the N20 Ultra? The one I have doesn't charge the N20, just keeps it at a constant level but the same charger does charge an S7 and a Note 9 much faster (so probably coming up against the Sammie 'lets annoy customers by making them buy only Sammie wireless chargers' issue!). I have tried moving the phone up/down a bit to see if that's the issue but no luck.
So, looking to get something that charges faster and will get this one if it does so. Anyone else have the Xiaomi charger and is happy with it?

I am still happy with it, it charges my s23 ultra fast, the screen says fast wireless charging so, it is still good.

Question Which charger (with cable) will charge the S23 (not + or Ultra) the fastest?

Which charger (with cable) will charge the S23 (not + or Ultra) the fastest?

Use the OEM Samsung cable/brick.

There is no OEM one, no? As in the box. btw it supports max 25W so the "Samsung 25W PD Adapter"

Samsung went chintzy with all the "extras" like a brick/cable in the box. The N10+ came with them.
So... yeah buy the OEM Samsung 25W charging set. It's actually a high quality pair. My original set is still tight and running good after almost 4 years and thousands of charges.
Don't roll up the cable once unpacked to prolong its lifespan.

Thank you for your responses!
I ended up giving these a go, and they charge my S23 from 1% to 100% in less than 1h and 15 minutes (I even a few things on the phone while charging).

I use the ''Ambrane 45W Fast Charger'' with cable that came along the phone and have been very satisfied (using device & charger since 24 Feb). Charges the phone from 0-100 in about 40 mins (0-85 in around 30mins). The phone has a "superfast charging" feature very few know about and correct cable/pd bricks do this trick.

Not sure why it says that, maybe 25W max with the normal fast adapters and not the adaptive/power delivery adapters. I get a superfast charging text/ teal colored ring when I switch on the toggle for fast charging and green ring/charging text when it's off.
