I wonder if you'd want the USB Wall Charger 2.1A - Black. I can't tell from the description if the one you linked is only going to deliver .5A to the phone.
This Wall Charger has two USB A female ports, one on each side, and provides a total of 1A of charging power.

So if you only plug a cable into one side is it going to send the full 1A through that cable or is it only going to send .5A which would be a slower charge. The SG3 is listed in the description for the 2.1A charger.
Monoprice cables are great. I use them with my chargers. I don't have the premium ones though. I bought this one: 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable
I'd love to hear what other users have to say.
I bought the premium cable from monoprice, and it works great.

Why not get a genuine samsung charger? I had to get a new charger for my brother's phone (I9001) and did some research. You might find this useful.

I use the cable from my previous Boston/Orange cellular. The original has some problems....
The charger i use 3: From my Boston/orange (1A) from my Tablet (2A) and a chinese (500Mha).
NEVER did use the original charger since it sucks....
I have a QC 2.0 charger that worked fine with my Note 4 (2A) and Note 3 (only 1A), but doesn't charge my axon. It seems to be a protocol negotiation issue. Right when you plug it in, it says 1.5A, 1A, etc.. then after 30 seconds or so, it goes to discharging.
Has anyone tried their phones with other QC chargers (not the stock one that comes with the phone)?
The Axon 7 is QC 3.0, so maybe that's the issue?
My old non-QC charger work just fine with my Axon 7 (though of course they're not as fast).
I also have a quick charge 2.0 charger that doesn't work with my USB type c cables. However when I use a micro USB cable with an adapter it works fine so maybe give that a try.
Anyone recommend any QC 3.0 chargers? I would like an extra one for travelling and maybe one for the car.

This cable doesn't *advertise* using a 56k resistor. I'd stay away from it unless clarified.
Does this one seem OK?

It seems to be working just fine. However, the built-in cable might seem like a bonus but it's not such a good idea... It will be the first part to break (as always with attached cables) and you charger will loose its value.
I'D consider this instead. Same price but you need an USB type C cord (this pack is awesome). I own both these articles and i don't regret buying them one second .
Sorry, I can't post links since I'm a new XDA user...
I've bought on Aliexpress a Choetech wall charger (ASIN B01D9QZV28) and a Choetech car charger (ASIN B01582ELMC).
They work great with the supplied ZTE USB-C cable and a Choetech USB-C Cable.

Thank you for the suggestions. You know, it just occurred to me that my car (2016 Mazda CX-5) lacks a 12v "cigarette" style outlet up front. I have two always on dedicated USB charging ports in my arm-rest. Those ports are not quick charge ports though. I have two other USB ports up front where the 12v socket is usually located and these are standard USB for the infotainment setup. Hum.... The phone will charge OK on a standard USB to C cord right that lacks QC 3? Bummer. Was thinking I could get QC in the car but not likely! I will need the suggested cables either way though.
I may have a 12v in the armrest too, but same deal - I'll need longer cords.

If it's standard USB A ports, the phone will charge at a normal rate, just not at QC rate.
That's what i like about those cables. 1 is really short (~30cm/1ft) one is very long (~2m/6ft) and the rest are a standart length (~1m/3ft). They all provide USB 3.0 and QC 3.0 support.
Ordered! Thanks again.

At home, I use the quick charger and the USB cable that came with the phone as well as a Insignia 10 ft. USB-C to USB 2.0 cable with Insignia USB AC adapter.
In my car and on the go I use a Platinum QC 2.0 car adapter (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinum-quick-charge-car-charger-black/1638009.p) and AC adapter (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinum-quick-charge-wall-charger-black/1637019.p) with VCE cables (https://www.amazon.com/VCE-3-3FT-6-6FT-OnePlus-950-3PACK/dp/B01J0VVKEY). The cables are Benson-approved and USB 3.0 for a really good price.
I keep my old Samsung quick charge brick (from my Note 4) and a USB type-c cable from my OnePlus 2 in my bag for when I'm out and they work just fine for quick charging. Not as fast as the ZTE cable/brick combo, but pretty close.
I came across Benson Leung's blog posts for USB Type C cables that pass muster, preferably USB IF Certified. He's an engineer with Google. There are about a hundred or so "compliant" cables but there are probably hundreds more that are not, tons are on Amazon and at Best Buy. One quick thing to look for that good cables have is a solid pin , there is no vertical seam down the middle of the pin that plugs into the phones charging port.

Thanks, this is very useful, I'm surprised spigen is not approved them products never failed me.
I use both the iOrange-E and Anker Powerline...didn't even read this list before I purchased them.
I do use Anker's Micro-B to C Adapters though and haven't had any issues.
this is so annoying. so I've gotten two USB c adapter he recommended so I can use one with my Samsung charger, which I assume will work no problem. and one ill use in car. but my car chargers are old, and i think quick charge 2.0. so if I use the adapter, will it blow my phone up?? I have no idea. lol ugh. so annoying.

You should check to see if they are Benson's list for compliance. He forced them to issue a recall for one of their products. I'm returning an Aukey 3.0 charging station today that is overheating badly while the 2.0 charging station I have from them runs fine.

He caused Anker to do a recall. Aukey is a different company. If my Aukey cables were going to show an issue, it would have been when I used them for the Note 7 lol

Correct I was thinking about this Aukey charger, my mistake. They laid into Aukey hard core. obviously both companies have put out some inferior products with regard to Type C USB standards. we cant give them blank check on brand name...yet.

Heads up, I picked up a couple of cables from Benson's list. One iOrange-E and one WolfBlitz.
Unfortunately the WolfBlitz does not appear to support Quick Charge 3.0. I'm getting a message to use the original LG cable. The iOrange-E cable does not have this issue. Both were $10 on Amazon for the braided 6 foot long versions. I like the braided versions over the stiff Belkin type cables because They are eaiser to keep in my coat pocket when connected to my small 3.0 QC power bank.
I bought a good quality braided USB A to USB C cable to use as a spare for my LG V20.
When I connect my phone to my PC using the cable, the phone indicates "Charging" but it doesn't show up as a removable drive and there is an exclamation mark on the COM6 device in device manager.
Switching back to my OEM LG cable, everything works just fine.
This is the cable that I bought:
http://www.hi-online.co.za/pdp/snug-type-c-to-usb-3-cable/_/A-270091AADG5
When looking at a cable in-store, I honestly don't know how to tell which cable will work and which won't.
Now, I only really need the cable as a spare for charging purposes but I'm concerned about whether its safe for me to continue to use it for that.
There aren't a lot of options available in stores where I live but this is one other option I saw:
http://www.kanex.com/usb-c-usb3-cable
Will that work?
I've been using Samsung note 7 cables and they work great.

I bought the above Kanex USB-A to USB-C cable and found that it has the same problem as the other cable that I bought. My V20 shows charging but I cannot transfer data and there are exclamation marks in device manager.
I researched a bit further after buying the cable and found that Benson Leung has also given a negative review of the cable on Amazon, stating that the cable is not spec compliant.
I really like Spigen products, decided on this.

Funny enough, I have 3 Belkin cables (one is 3.1C) and all work as they're supposed to be.
I got a anker power line c to c. No issues except when I hook it up to my alienware 15 r2 usb c plug my phone will blink back and forth of charging not charging. Might try a different c to c cable and see if its cable or computer

As Bensor and Nathan K point out repeatedly, the USB C spec forbids proprietary fast charging such as QC 2 and 3. USB C supports PD fast changing. Oddly, the LG charger that comes with the LG20 has QC3 but I don't use it, I use a Benson-approved PD charger.
This will be my first usb type c device. I'm sure a lot of you are upgrading from the original pixel. Can you guys recommend cables and chargers that you have used that you liked? I'm sure there are a bunch of people in my situation it can help to stock up on this stuff before the phone comes. And yes I know there is a list of approved cables, etc.
I'd look at Anker or Aukey for chargers. They should have a couple PD-2 chargers. They also sell the required cables.
The Pixel 2 XL will come with cables and a charger in the box though.

I would never get a cheap Chinese/no name version. From what I've read, if it doesn't have a 56ohm resistor, it has damaged phones.
You can also check on Amazon and read reviews from those who have purchased. Not worth saving a few bucks to potentially damage your $900+ phone.

If its OEM, I don't think there will be any issues. I'm sure people may have multiple USB-C items and I'm sure these news outlet and reviewers have multiple USB-C cables and plugs that they just use the same one over and over.
DO not get any usb c cable/charger so many of them don't follow the standards
Only get one that has been tested
bad cables and charger in best case can charge slowly
in worst case can damage the phone or explode
follow https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv
and only use good cables
from the top of my head, the good ones are from

As far as I can tell, Benson Leung finds issues with every Aukey product he reviews. I'm contemplating the BlitzWolf BW-S10, as I've had no issues with the BW-S5 or BW-CB3, and their reputation appears to be clean. The supplied cable is USB-C to USB-C, right?

Just had my Kidigi USB C dock break that I was using with my Nexus 5X. I am struggling to find any docks that have USB C and Power Delivery. Has anyone found one? It's not really important to have the PD because I only use this charger for at night when I'm sleeping but it would be nice to have if it's available. Thanks!
I am very happy with my Seifio USB C dock, but they have been out of stock for quite a while. https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/
Can someone clarify power delivery? I'm getting mixed results.
Are you looking for a dock that will charge your phone? What's the purpose of being USB and not charging?

FYI, I just received my new phone, Seidio Surface case and holster. I had the same setup on my original Pixel XL and it worked fine. However, for some reason the bottom of the Pixel 2 XL case is thicker, causing the USB C port to be recessed too far to connect to the plug on my Seidio USB C dock.
I will be contacting them for suggestions, as the two Seidio products should be compatible with each other.
USB C charging for the Nexus 6P was 15w. Power Delivery for the Pixel and Pixel 2 are 18w. Some laptops and macbooks can charge at even a higher rate
I cannot believe that USB type C PD has been out for years and there is not ONE usable dock.
I just bought this one, came in yesterday used it couple times now says it's RAPID CHARGING. seems to be charging well mind you it's only been one day.

I've never used a dock, but I can't imagine buying a dock like this where all of the phone weight is propped up on the charging port. Those things aren't welded in like a car trailer... they snap all the dang time. I am currently in the market for a USB-C dock, but am specifically looking for one that has a "rest" for my phone.
I've seen a couple out there, but one is Samsung and the other looks identical, but with a different name.
It seems we just need to create our own and we'll sell millions...
I ended up buying this dock. It's great so far even though it doesn't fast charge. I just have it on my night stand so I don't really care about fast charging there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071HFM217/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ycgdAb6TYTBSR
Looks like this one is PD and even if it isn't at least it has a USB C connection and not an attached USB A cable.

Good find! I just found more USB C CharmTek docks at AliExpress and they're cheaper too, if you don't mind slow shipping: https://charmtek.aliexpress.com/sto...pm=2114.12010608.0.0.69e148caGflmWA&topMenu=y

Nope. Just noticed it. Not too many bad reviews really. I don't know if I want to get one or not though.

Doesn't seem worth it. I've been burned too many times on Amazon with trusting their reviews. Just basically threw away $8 on a screen protector that ended up being complete garbage however had a 4.5 star review.

One of the reviews shows the connector broke after a few uses. Why are there no quality docks out there? Everything is so dang cheap. I'd spend $50 if I knew it would be a solid dock that I could use for a long time.

As theBeachBoy said, that's not a dock, so it's not what people in this thread are looking for. But if anyone is looking to buy a multiport charger that supports PD, I've owned that Anker one for a year. I have it setup near an older iOttie car mount that I use as a dock on my desk, and it works great.
