Hi a quick question, I just bought a new s8+, and before that I had a Nexus 6p, can I use his charger to charge the s8+
S8+ charger shows 2.4A output
Nexus chargee shows 3.0A output
Thank allot!
I went from a 6P to an s8 (uk exynos) and used the 6P charger and cable for over a week before the S8 charger came out of the box with no issues. didn't do a comparison test for charging speeds tho. The 6P charger should intelligently downgrade its output if it's max is too much for the S8. generally, the s8 seems to charge more slowly but it's a hell of a lot less necessary than with the 6P, lol

Hi all been searching but no real answer can you use a s7 fast charger plug on a Samsung s8?
Of course. Why would would you think you couldn't?
Voltage but was not 100% sure that's why I thought i would ask.

Pretty sure it wouldn't be an issue! I actually used the samsung charger from my S8 to charge my HTC 10 last night and it took surprisingly long to charge! Out of interest i then decided to charge my S8 using my HTC charger and the HTC charger charges it faster then the one supplied by Samsung! Maybe Samsung are being cautious with the fast charging capabilities since the Note 7 dilemma! Who knows. . . . . . . . . I just found it interesting that the Samsung fast charger (whilst it is pretty quick i guess) but doesn't compare to my HTC fast charger!
Samsung fast charger charges 3000mah battery from 0 - 100 in 1hr40mins
HTC fast charger charges 3200mah battery from 0 - 100 in 1hr 20mins
I was using my old S6 charger all week, no issues.
I believe they're all using the same 15W charger. Samsung has not revised the charging power since S6.
OK so the answer here probably isn't complicated, but the question is, hopefully I'll explain it right:
I've just bought an S7 Edge. My current wireless charger is the OEM samsung pad type for the S6 so pretty slow. Therefore I'm going to upgrade to either the OEM S7 fast wireless charger stand, or the OEM S8 fast wireless charger stand. The S7 one is cheaper and charges just as fast, however the S8 one has a USB-C connection, which could swing it for me depending on the answer to the following question:
Can I use the USB-C charger from my Acer R13 Chromebook and just plug it into the S8 pad/stand? Assuming I can will it fast charge (well, as fast as wireless can) or will only the adaptive OEM plug do that?
Thanks in advance
Err depends, as they're both usb-c I'd say yes. Check the s8 wireless charging pad's specifications (wattage, amperage etc) and see if they match with your laptops usb-c port specs. If they match (I believe higher amp = faster charging) then I'd say fast charging should work.
Posted this in the S7 forum too but posting here as it relates to the S8 charger. The answer here probably isn't complicated, but the question is, hopefully I'll explain it right:

Thanks. What's the reason? And will the R13 charger work regardless of capability to fast charge?
Moved on up from the s4 to s7edge. Had lots of experience with different chargers and cables over the years while settling on 'Ampere' to display charge current.
My old s4 charged at around 1400ma yet the s7edge struggles at around 1000ma ??. Tried a few cables and the standard 2a samsung charger, also the later 'fast charger' that looks the same other than the fast charging lable.
Ideas ?. Thanks in advance...
Using 'Ampere' to measure charging current, worked well on my old S4 and showed the huge difference in cables and chargers.
Now with my S7 Edge I'm seeing lower charge currents (max 1000ma compared to 1400ma with the S4). The Samsung 'fast' adaptive charger makes no difference !?.
Loving my new Samsung inductive 'fast' charging pad (around 75% of the cable current as expected) yet if connected to a samsung 'fast' charger the lights on the base just flash ?.
Anyone had experience ?. The model numbers from the supplied charger and cable (new S7 Edge's) would be VERY interesting.
Thanks in advance...
Fast charging only works with the screen OFF
