i think Samsung is coming out with one but wasn't sure if one was available on the market now?
For that to happen, the Nexus 6 would need to support the new Qi 15w fast wireless charging standard. Does it do so? If not, a charging pad that does won't do squat.

That's a new standard that the Nexus 6 doesn't support to the best of my knowledge. It's only on the Note 5 and S6 currently but I can foresee it coming to the next Nexus phone

Oh man I didn't even know you could get both Qi charging and fast charging together... thats such a dream!

It's not both together. It's just a faster version of wireless charging. About as fast as normal charging (non-QC).

Its a faster version of qi charging. The phone still supports QC 2.0 via usb

Samsung might be using a similar standard to the 15W qi charging that should be making its way to other phones shortly.

That may be true, but it would still not even charge as fast as QC2.0. You have to remember that Qi only has a 60-70% efficiency. Going up to 15W even with 3 coils will have the same efficiency.

Correct but its quick charging for qi
So it seems that the wireless charger Samsung offers is "fast". How fast is it compared to 3rd party wireless chargers? Anyone know of any 3rd party ones that are peppy?
Did you read/find the specs for the official Wireless charger ? (I've not)
The only thing I've read was the S7 is quicker to charge than the S6, supposing with the same charger.
I've never clearly read that the S7 is Qi compatible, and I hope so, because I've a lot of Qi charger here
But I've seen that some processors have an impact about wireless chargers, I hope that the quicker charge is compatible with standard Qi charger (maybe it's one of the last question I have before pre-ordering ! )

They should support both: http://www.cio.com/article/3035693/...the-galaxy-s7-and-gs7-edge-and-3-to-hate.html
So does anyone know the difference of the aftermarket chargers such as anker and the OEM fast one?

The specs I've been reading say the Samsung chargers still only output up to 1A which any amount of QI chargers do the same.

That's more like the input voltage because 10W is 5V @ 2A which most QI chargers run at, but the wireless chargers lose a lot in the transfer.
Now maybe some chargers out there output higher but the specs on the Samsung chargers all seem to output at 5W.
Its the output, there's even 15w wireless chargers out there.
Can you have any case on your phone and still use a wireless charger?

If you guys are looking for a wireless charger for the car (I highly recommend one, makes life so much easier) I got the iOttie onetouch Qi charger. I love the thing, Super secure, 1 touch insert and removal (1 hand, some require two hands to place). There are other competing ones to check out, but definitely look for one with one handed operation.
Hello,
I am looking for a wireless charge to car which supports QC3 I only found this one https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Vehicle-Dock/dp/B00NT5LDJ0
Anyone had any luck finding it?
Thx

First one does not have wireless charging at least I did not find it.
Second covers the display... Therefore useless for cars and navigation.
I'm using the universal charger from qi infinity! If you're interested write me a pm I might have an coupon code.
Be sure to get the one with fast charge in it's name.
The audio port is being blocked by the charger and you can't use thick protective cases, normal ones work fine!

It's working. I wouldn't advertise it otherwise!
Just trust the standards: Quickcharge 2.0 is working on all compatible devices, so does QI Fast Charge on all compatible devices (or at least on 99.99%).
Any information on the new wireless chargers? Seeing as it's $90 vs last years model with can be had for much less, is there that much of a difference?
Buy one of these, I had these on my S7 Edge and Note 7 and they all charged wirelessly "fast".

How can these be so cheap?? Are they safe?
With the Nexus 6P, the charging cables are USB C on both ends. Are the samsung cables the same way? Are these wireless chargers USB C or micro usb?
Here are a few recommended on reddit.

I have 3... Great so far. One at work, one at home, one with my gf. I think they have to compete with the samsung chargers that are flooding eBay.
This is the one I use myself on the S7 Edge, it does fast charging and uses a USB-C cable:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K1CKKDI/
Its best advantage of galaxy s6 , s7 and and galaxy edge model have a wireless charger .
I was looking for a Qi "Docking Station" and found the Samsung Qi charging stand "open box" deal on Amazon and could not pass it up at $25 shipped. Only had it 24 hours and seems pretty decent on an S6 Edge Plus. Uses a standard micro-USB not the USB-C.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BMDQ9U8
When I got it the seal on the factory box was opened, but the unit appeared brand new, came with everything else sealed and even had all the protective wrap on it.
2 brand new white ones for $43 from samsung.com
How much slower do the 'fast' wireless chargers charge it vs the stock usb c cable charger? Last time i tried it was on my S5 and its so much slower than charging with a cable that it just wasnt worth the minor reduction in hassle of not having to plug in the cable, but if it was charging almost as fast then it might be worth it.

Probably wasnt. But I havent seen any data on how fast the fast wireless charging is vs fast cable charging. I suspect the wireless is still much slower but if not then I will probably look to pick up a good charger for it.

Its pretty fast I tested it with my S6 and Note 5 last year. I dont have the exact numbers but its much faster than regular wireless charging. I don't recall if it was as fast as plugging it in but it's pretty close.

Ok I found something on the S7 Edge saying 9% to 100% took just over 2 hours on fast wireless and 90 mins with cable. Not too bad but cable still over 33% faster. I think they said the s8 had slightly faster wireless charging than the s7 but didnt say by how much or provide any data on it.
In this review of the new wireless charger it shows that its plug is rated for both 5V at 2A or 9V at 1.67A, so it should support 15 watt charging, for QC 3.0 speeds. Wish they weren't $90, I need two of them...

This is in one of the FCC test reports:

Does this exist? The usb port on my phone is very unreliable. I might have to switch to wireless charging with this phone sooner or later, and I know that the Nexus 6 is finicky about which wireless chargers it will work with and such. So are there any on the marker right now that support the Nexus 6s turbo charge? I'm really in the dark with what accessories are even out there for this device, so bear with me here lol

Walmart has a quick charging block manufactured by Blackweb. It is supported by Qualcomm technology 3.0 and is backwards compatible. It comes with 2 standard micro USB ports. It runs around 15 dollars.

The one I am talking about is wired, standard charging type. But if you want to go wireless then that would suffice.

Wow! Would this actually charge the Nexus 6 with quick charge? Does the conductive charging in the Nexus 6 support rapid charging wirelessly? Because $15 sounds NICE!

The $15 block is wired, it works great especially with a kernel that supports USB fastcharge. It charges the battery in about an hour from 15%.
The Nexus 6 does not support the latest fast charging on Qi wireless chargers. In the car, wireless charging can't even keep up with the drain of screen-on navigation and streaming music over bluetooth for me.
QI Fast Charge is not supported by the Nexus 6, I have one, charging at standard rates

The Nexus 6 does not have Quick charge capabilities using the Qi Wireless Charger. It only supports the slow wireless charging.
Even if you use a QC Fast Charger Wireless charger, it will still charge at 5v @ 1amp or less. My Nexus 6 usually does 600mAh and it takes a while to charge.
