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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I bought a slightly used nexus 6 that didn't come with the original motorola turbo charger.
What charger is better?

Either should work fine. I sometimes use my note 4 charger on my nexus 6 and it works just as good as my OEM turbo charger.

That's a great unit, if you don't mind losing QuickCharge. The multiport ones like that are really useful for people with a few devices around or just to share plugs with visitors as well.
I only mention QC as the OP mentioned 2 different QC chargers, so it seems like an important feature to them.

Yeah, I couldn't go without quick charge with this phone.
If you watch slickdeals, they have quick charge chargers pop up fairly often for ~$9. Aukey and Tronsmart seem to appear the most. I have many of these off brand quick chargers and haven't had a problem with any of them.

For a regular charger, it's pretty fast. I get 1% about every 1min and 15 seconds. That's pretty fast for a 'regular' charger.
I havent been able to find one that charges as quickly as my ZeroLemon Quick Charger.
Im using the QuickCharge one that came with it, though I bought some Qi Chargers. In the car Im using the Tylt Vu I think its called.
Hello,

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%).
Anyone know how the Pixel will do with third party but high quality chargers such as Anker or Choetech?
I don't think anyone will have concrete evidence until we get to try it out. I would assume if it works with the 5x/6p it should be the same.

USB power delivery. It's the standard that the pixel uses for quick charging.
http://www.usb.org/developers/powerdelivery/
If you don't have the right cable and charger, the phone could draw too much power and kill the usb port or burn out the charger. If you use a quality cable, you should be fine even for old chargers, just won't charge as fast

I believe QC3 chargers will work on this device. I can rapid charge my Pixel C with a QC3 charger, at 5v3a. QC3 also supports the 9v2a charge that these phones need.
Of course I will test and update when I receive it, but if its anything like the Pixel C tablet, it will work.
As for the cables, anything on amazon with 4-5 stars will probably be up to spec. You are looking to make sure it has a 56k Ohm Resistor
There was a bunch of drama last year. Even cables with the right resistor wound up potentially being incompatible

Bump. While I will pick up some of the recommended cables from Bensen, I have a ton of these floating around. So my questions...
1) Are these SAFE with the Pixel?
2) Does it matter what charger is on the other side for safety?
I have a coupon from HTC for their accessories was thinking of picking up a couple of the USB A to C cables
would that be safe?

So the cheapest power brick that gets a 3 and charges at full power is $35 from Google. The only car charger that has a 3 and charges at full power is from Belkin/Google, coming soon at $45. There are no battery packs that receive a 3 and charge at full power. Sheesh. This kind of sucks right now.

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.

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...
