I'm not a fan of how the stock charger looks. So I was curious of the charger with QC2 2.0 from Aukey would work?
Yup
Are you talking about the wall plug or a wireless fast charge charger?
The wall plug from Aukey works fine, also the Choetech works fine. I own both.
Worth mentioning that although Quick Charge is a Qualcomm technology, QC2.0 certified chargers work on the Exynos version S7 Edge also, and activate "Fast Charge".

Yep any charger with Qualcomm qc support will work and the ones with higher amperage will also charge at a faster speed although not as fast as qc. The 820 is also supposed to support qc3.0 which should be even faster.
I have a HTC QC2.0 charger, works perfectly
With all the returns and obtaining of phones I've amassed a nice stockpile of Samsung fast chargers and a few Samsung USB C cables(and adapters).
I've read before that USB C allows for non standard use of cables by manufacturers so I'm wondering if anyone has tried or knows if it will be an issue using the said chargers/cables (yes I know the Samsung chargers are only QC 2.0 spec).
I have a QC 3.0 car charger I got from Aukey during a sale. I have some Aukey USB A to USB C cables too that work fine with my Note 7 too.
Trying to see if I need to slowly replace my Samsung chargers with official QC 3.0 wall chargers (will need at least 2)
Here at work I am using my Note 7 charger setup. Left LG flat cable at home.

Thanks for the reply, that puts me a bit at ease. I'll probably still get some QC 3.0 wall chargers but wait until I see a sale from Aukey for one.
Sorry. Side question.
What's the wattage for the US Samsung fast charger?

It's adaptive fast charger and does either 5.0v @ 2A or 9.0v @ 1.67A so 10w or 15w respectively
All QC are backwards compatible. QC 3 will know you are using QC 2 and charge at the rate of QC 2. If you use a QC 3 charger and have a QC 2 device the device will only draw QC 2. So you have nothing to worry about as long as they are QC compliant

I want to buy a charger with QC3.0 of the brand and model BlitzWolf® BW-S5, but I want to know if it really loads it in 3.0 mode

AFAIK it only supports qc 2.0 even if the snapdragon supports 3.0. Some people tested this already. More then 15W you can't get.
I think it's only QC 2.0 as well, though QC 3.0 chargers are backward compatible, they'll just negotiate QC 2.0 charging currents rather than the increments of QC 3.0. You won't have the 'up to 38% power saving over QC 2.0' that Qualcomm mentions.
Still, $10/£8 for a QC 3.0 certified charger? Not a bad deal. Also have a look at Anker, I've heard they've got a good reputation with chargers.
What do you guys think about it?
Is is "safe"?
What Chargers are you guys using?
thanks in advance!
I've read that G6 does not support QC3.0 for now but it's about to thanks to the incoming update.
But anyway, of course, why not!
I did so with my Xperia Z3 Compact which supported QC2.0 but it's pretty much the same case for our G6's. I never had any problems with the battery in my Z3C.
I'm also planning to buy QC3.0 charger, which one are you gonna use?
Well, i'm using the default charger, which is supposedly qc 2, but qc 3 shouldn't damage your battery in any way. It charges very quickly to around 85% and then slows down to preserve battery life.

also in several yt video tests that it clearly can do QC3.
i use that charger:

yep the included one can QC2 (asked LG support about it)
and ive read the same thing about qc3... that it is supposably battery "friendlier", thats why i was wondering what other lgg6 users do
I've confirmed that the charger that came with my G6 is QC3.0 (model MCS-H06UR, UK 3-pin). Using a USB power meter, the voltage will increase from 5V to 9V in small steps. If I use a QC 2.0 charger (stock charger from Note4/S7edge), it will jump from 5V to 9V immediately.

Now, this is interesting and good to know. But QC 3.0 has two components to it. One is the variable voltage, but the second is actually using voltages up to 22V. So it would seem that this is QC 2.5

Well, it just means that it can support up to 22V but not that all charger must support 22V to be QC 3.0 compatible. If you look around most QC 3.0 chargers only support up to 12V.
Can i use a quallacom quick charge charger rated at [email protected] (i guess what turbo power gives is 9v at 1.67A)
P.s both give charging current of nearly 2500ma in ampere app,my original moto charger is not wrking and i am out of warranty
Yes I use my samsung charger (9v 2amp) on my G4 all the time shows as turbo charger when plugged in.
Yes, you can use a QC 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 charger with this phone... although I would HIGHLY recommend only using a QC 3.0 charger if possible, it is much better at delivering variable power needed for quick charging and controlling temperatures in the battery. When you use a QC 1.0 or 2.0 charger, the phone has to step down to that version, which will still charge faster than a "standard" charger, but it will increase battery temperatures while charging significantly which over extended use can reduce the overall life and capacity of the battery.

What is?
I don't think you understand, there is no charger specifically for the SD625 or any other chipset... this is merely Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology, but Moto/Lenovo didn't want to pay the licensing/royalty or whatever else to call it that, so they call it TurboPower. I have a Qualcomm QC 2.0 adapter here at my desk and if I connect it, it clearly says "TurboPower Connected".

Again, I don't understand what you mean. The SD625 support Quick Charge 3.0, but the charger supplied with the device is a QC 2.0 compliant adapter that is labeled "TurboPower", at least in the US. If I connect a Samsung GS7 to the Moto charger, it shows Fast Charging as well.
I am not trying to be argumentative, but I don't understand what are you trying to say here.

According to reputable reviews, it's Quick Charge 3.0:
https://www.androidcentral.com/moto-g5-plus
https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/moto-g5-plus-android-smartphone-review.html
However, "officially" according to Lenovo, it supports Quick Charge 2.0 but even when asked directly they do not state that it does or does not support 3.0.
I have a USB diagnostic device but I don't know if that will tell me the answer, since I don't own a 3.0 capable charger currently.

Honestly? I'm guessing it's a royalty or licensing thing, they can't say "Quick Charge 3.0" because they didn't pay the fee.
Just my guess... I have nothing to back that up.

Dude, don't double post. It's a waste of space, time, and creates pointless threads.
QC3 Chargers can use QC2 to charge devices. Whether or not the phone supports it is irrelevant.

And both will work fine. A 8 second Google search will tell you this. Try looking before asking!

Ok, using "highly" and "much better" here might have been a bit overkill... From 1.0 to 2.0 the difference is huge, from 2.0 to 3.0 not so much, especially on a device like this that isn't drawing a ton of current consistently.
Is a 3.0 charger better for the longevity of the battery, and thus the device, over the long term? Yes. Is it significant enough to pay the extra over a 2.0 charger? That's your call... After a year or so of consistent use it might not even make a significant difference in battery life, it may add a month ot two to the longevity of the phone over it's lifespan, no one can say for sure because each case is unique.
My chargers, except car chargers, far out last my phones, I've had the same charger on my nightstand for 4-5 years now (seriously, it's from a Blackberry Playbook) so it's an investment...
I don't understand the issue here... A good QC 3.0 charger is a few bucks more than a 2.0 charger, and if you look you can get one for $10-$12, so is two or three dollars worth worrying about this?
If you are just concerned about what is best for the battery, never use a quick charger at all...

That is my charger at work... If you have a QC 2.0 charger, don't bother getting a new one. If you are buying one, get a 3.0 one.
I know this thread is a little dated and I'm a late comer to this thread, but I just bought the g5 plus on a black friday deal at best buy $300 down to $225, US xt1678 variant, 64gb storage and 4gb ram, I jsut could not resist it for that price, and....it was actually cheaper than the 32gb storage 2gb ram variant which was listed at $229
Anyways on to my question, this is for acejavelin. You said your qc 2.0 worked and came up as showing turbo charging (not just normal charging)? I hope I am reading this correctly. Also is this one of those Qualcomm® Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, that's what I was looking at buying for my car and was curious if it worked. Just checking to make sure I'm reading the thread correctly.
I recently just bought a 2.1 fast charge lighter plugin, but guess what, it doesn't turbocharge only normal charge. I tried with the cord that came with the phone, as well as 2 other cords and still only normal charge for each one.
Now with my wall charger (the provided turbocharger that came with the g5 plus) in the house, all 3 cords work and show as turbocharge as long as I am using the provided moto turbo charge wall charger.
I also was curious and tried an old samsung charger that I used on I think it was the s4, last samsung I owned lol. With my nexus 5x which has USB-C worked wonderfully with it, but sadly turbo charge does not work so well with the samsung wall charger, because it does not show as turbo charge, but only normal charge on the g5 plus.
