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.
So when I bought my s8+ they bundled in the official Samsung wireless charger, I've only just started to use it, I don't know if it's just me but at times it seems to charge the phone quicker if not as fast as the adaptive fast charger plug. I never thought that would be the case so I'm surprised but happy.
Probably it's just the placebo effect but still, it's nice you think of it that highly.
Can you try to time both methods and share your results? I'm wondering what the actual charging times are.
Charging with cable takes about 1.5h, with wireless charger 2x times more.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have done some testing.
With QC 2.0 (my old Motorola Turbo charge 15) I charge phone from 20% to 90% with rate 65%/hour (1 hour and 10 minutes time)
With QC 3.0 (charger and cable from original Chinese packaging) I charge phone form 30% to 87% with rate 95%/hour (40 minutes)
I think this scenario is common for most users when they need to charge phone in hurry.
Later I will add also charging rate for quick wireless charger included in box and maybe also some QC 4.0+ if I get my hands on some.
In my case, I bought a PD3.0 charger from Aukey and my Mi Mix 3 is charging from 0% to 100% in 1h08 !
In fact after a few research I found that Power Delivery Technology is compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge because Quick charge is working with Power Delivery and add a few security technology, but power delivery already have some.
Nevermind, I tested it and indeed My PD3.0 charger (max 15V and 3A) with a anker cable wich support up to 5A is working faster than the QC3 charger !
I suppose a QC4.0 should be better, but for now I think PD3.0 is the best solution !
I second @romain1672...I've converted all my chargers to USB-PD since I've divested from non-USB-C devices and my Mi Mix 3 flies with them.
I believe the wireless charging is relatively slow, think one review said three hours for full charge? But that's expected to be honest.
I've heard it said that slow charging is better for battery life, so in effect, wouldn't the wireless charger be better than cabled, if you're not pressed for time?
It took me exactly 1h45 to charge from 17% to 100% with the wireless charger. It's pretty fast for a wireless charger, but the only issue is that it heats lot of more than wired, and i read somewhere that heat isn't good for battery health.
Hi guys, I just bought the Razer Phone charger (it's the only one I could get quickly with Quick Charge 4.0+ in the UK). Not the most scientific of tests, but it went from 30% to 87% in 30 mins. I tested from 30% again today with a Quick Charge 3 charger and in 30 minutes it made it to 80%.
Sorry I didn't run from 0-100%, I can probably test that more easily this weekend if people are interested?
Fast enough that for the first time since owning a smart phone I never have to think about looking for a charge, even when travelling.
Does anyone know of any wireless chargers/charging stands that charge the mix 3 as fast as the included one? I've tried a couple I had with previous phones and they just charge so much slower
This charger is becoming annoying.
I place my phone on the puck by my bed. Sometimes, before falling asleep, I hear the sound indicating charge stopping.
Then, in the morning I find my phone has moved off the puck. And it is not me! The phone slips away if not perfectly aligned centrally on the puck. It is not surprising as the induction forces between the puck and phone will be opposing but the manufacturer should have spotted this and made the puck/phone with more friction between them.

Bro, I use my brothers Samsung Wireless Charger "EP-NG930" from his S8. Google it to see it. I can't post a pic of it since I leave it in the office but underneath it is rated at 9V 1.67A (15W)
I must say it charges pretty much the same, if not, faster than the included one since it has a built-in noiseless fan behind the coils
I have the EP-TA800 power adaptor and new EP-N5200 Fast wireless 2.0 charger to charge my Galaxy S10 Plus....
I expected to see higher charging current than my old EP-N5100 yet no !. The phone was around 60% charge level when tested so not falling off as it approached 100%. Using the excellent 'Ampere' to check charging rates.
Any one else with similar experience ?
