Hi,
i am just wondering, which Charger should i buy for the S21 Ultra, as i need more, i would buy them not from samsung. Do you have recommendations?
I have the wireless pad that was a freebie with the watch a while back - I'm hoping that will do the job in the day and I'll just use an old one for overnight charging - speed is not of the essence.
Ah cool.
Sometimes during the day i am happy to charge it quick fast, but mostly i also dont careabout the speed, especially overnight.
You can never go wrong with an anker charger but if you can buy from samsung i would recommend their 25w charger. Samsung recently reduced the price of the charger and if anything ever goes wrong with your phone samsung can no longer blame the charger.
I went with the 25W charger from Samsung. It is actually on discount.

i bought this 120w GaN Baseus and both charger and my S21 Ultra came today, i tested the charger with couple of outlets and cables but after couple second of "SUPER FAST CHARGIN" it reverts back to "Fast Charging" ,
its a shame cause i really loved the charger despite the noise it made and i wanted it for my future laptop too which supports 100w PD ,
i have to return it and get the normal one that samsung offering, samsung should've kept the chargers this year...
hope i didn't damaged my brand new phone by connecting and disconnecting it around 20 times
I have a 45W USB-C port as part of an Anker PowerPort and also the 18W charger that came with my Pixel 5. Would I notice much of an improvement in charging speed or long term longevity of the battery by purchasing Samsung's 25W charger?

You can get the maximum charging speed from the 45W Anker PowerPort. And the 18W charger would give you decent charging speed as well. When it comes to charging S21, there's no difference between the 45W Anker and Samsung's 25W charger. And I doubt there's much difference between the 18W and 25W charger.
Thank you. And it shouldn't cause any issues to the integrity/longevity of the battery?
No, it shouldn't. Reliable third-party chargers should just work fine as the original Samsung charger.

I do not know where he lives but here is a screenshot from the Canadian Samsung.ca site. I would think in the US it would have the same discount and be even cheaper.
Edit: Looking at his part number, I would guess he is in Canada too.
what about this BS Samsung Money by SoFi debit card?
"enjoy up to 30% off sitewide on .... Samsung.com"
do you really get a huge discount with this BS debit card ?
I had to buy another fast charger the other day because of a failing 25 watt brick or cable for my 10+; Fast charging is erratic.
The Samsung 25 brick/cable can be had for under $20.
It's known to work.
I nixed the 45 watt because it likely will decrease battery life and charges only marginally faster.
A working 25 watt brick charges at about 2% a minute which is fine. I go with 20-30% midrange charges so a 10-15 minute break is good.

According to the article below, only four of the chargers they tested charged the S21s at 25W. Two of the four were Samsung OEM chargers.

Fast charging gives me a headache as of late.
A fast charging mini horror tale...
My 10+ was fast charging normally until I slow charge it to 100% one night by accident.
The battery was probably around 85% of its original capacity at that time.
I've tried a new Samsung OEM 25w brick/cable, cleared system cache, toggled fast charging on/off 3X, hard reset, battery calibration, cleaned the C port throughly... everything except a factory reset.
Fast charging engages but usually only for 2-5 minutes, and sometimes the indicated current draw drops as low as 800 ma with only a 80% charge! WTF?
So... is it the battery, port* or a mobo failure?
It's battery replacement time but will that get it?
*the C port appears to connect normally; no charge or data interruption if pushed about.
Good, solid feel... grrrrrr
Just got a EP-TA800 charger and tried charging my S21 at 35% battery capacity and noticed it negotiated at 9V2A = 18W , I also checked this with wall plug meter. But on screen it shows its at super fast charging. So whats the range for 25W charging speed ?

I got this to replace a cheapo one i had when i had my Droid X. With the old charger, I couldnt keep the screen on and use GPS and listen to music at the same time without the battery losing power. Basically the old charger acted like a battery extender lol.
This new charger charged my phone at least 3-4x faster...even while doing all the things listed above...WELL worth it

I have that exact same car charger. Just make sure that you get it from a reputable dealer... I got mine from one of the parties for a few bucks cheaper and they sent me counterfeits. I had to contact Amazon where Amazon gave me my money back and also sent out two OEM from an Amazon warehouse with free expedited shipping!

Quite a few of the cheaper car chargers simply do not have a point soldered on their boards, causing the phone to think it's charging from a 500mA USB port (like you'd find on a computer) and not go above that even if the charger does 1A/port.
I know even the belkin one has a forum topic somewhere regarding modifying it so that it'll always get detected as an AC power. I believe custom ROM's and kernels has a Fast Charge feature that can fix this too (ie force the device to detect the power as AC), I think.
I use the Motorola charger as well, and it works just fine... I had two lying around, one came with my Milestone and the other came with my Milestone Car Dock that I've bought separately...

Interesting, this is the model I had and I ALWAYS felt like my battery was draining while using the GPS+Music combo. Not a lot, a few percent over a couple hours, but it's not charging it or atleast keeping its current charge. I want the official Sammy card dock. SOMEONE JUST TAKE MY MONEY.

I believe you will be disappointed...
First, this Motorola charger is good up to 2A, while the original Galaxy Nexus Wall Charger is good up to 1A, and Galaxy Nexus recognizes it as AC Charging, meaning that phone is draining as much current to charge as it can...
Second, I do not believe that those pogo pins are good to move 1A, and I could bet the farm (if I had one ) that it won't go over 1A for sure, so, I do not believe that the official car dock will allow more current than what this Motorola charger is already providing...
But, anyway, I doubt that charger is the one to blame, and I will tell you why... Battery is rated 6.8W/h and it usually allows up to 4 hours of screen on time... So, quick math, phone in use, screen on, is draining 1,7W/h and USB charging (500mA x 5V) gives you 2,5W/h, AC charging gives you 5W/h....
Lets say that you get up to 3 hours screen time with GPS on... It still is 2,27W/h... Below 2,5W/h USB charging limit...
So what is going on? Probably battery is too hot charging and being discharged at the same time (and probably the phone is not able to use the battery like a no-break and get its power from USB, so, phone is getting juice from battery and battery from charger) and phone will stop charging to avoid battery damage/explosion due to high temperatures, and also, battery efficiency is lower when battery is hot (it will drain faster)...
My guess is that if phone is still draining with a charger, in this case, check if it is too hot, and if it is, try to move it so it is cooled by car A/C / vent... At least, with milestone, it helps a lot, since I still own my Milestone and its gps is leaps and bounds better than Galaxy Nexus GPS, I've never really used Galaxy Nexus to navigate (yes, my Milestone turned into a dedicated Google Maps GPS )
its very easy to mod any usb charger to turn it into a AC charger. what you need to do is connect the two data pins.

just connect pins 2 and 3 by solder, i've done this on a few car chargers and it works great always shows AC. i didnt modify the usb wire itself but opened up the charger and connect the solder points connected to the data lines, not sure if you can just mod the usb wire. i have 600mah car charger that i did this to, before it wasnt enough to charge the phone with google maps running now it can charge it very slowly.
Just a update,
i purchased the motorola charger and been working great for nearly a month till this couples of days.
the only way that charge is by holding and pushing up the micro port wile inserted in the phone.
i noticed that the charger micro plug does have clips on only one side ,the other side is flat.
does that mean is not a original charger???
thanx

Well, time to talk about our babe. The box is very simple, to green the earth maybe, there is not much to talk about the box, here is some pictures:

Here is what insides the box:
We got 1 charger, 1 USB cable (6 ft ~ 1.8 meters, according to Google), and 1 Welcome Guide. Well, do we need a manual for a charger? Actually I haven’t read it but I think Tronsmart is very kind to provide us a manual for their charger.
Here is our babe alone:
Some tech specs:
The cable is solid, and long, about 1.8 meters which is really long to me. The quality of the cable is really high.
You guys can check out the USB connector:
And the MicroUSB connector:
Let’s take a closer look at our babe ports, here you can see 1 QC 2.0 port which can produce about 5V/2A or 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A , 2 VoltIQ port which can produce about 5V/4.8A (2.4A for each ports).
Compare to the ASUS QC 2.0 charger:
Time to get our babe to work. In this short review I will test this charger to charge my Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) from 9% to 100%, time will be calculate by the stopwatch on the screen.
You guys can check the pictures below, the charger is slower than original ASUS charger a bit at the first 70%, but at the total time to 100%, it win! It took about 1 hours and 18 minutes to completely charge my Zenfone 2 from 9% to 100%.
Let’s get started.
About 9 minutes to reach 21%.
About 21 minutes to reach 35%.
About 35 minutes to reach 50%.
About 53 minutes to reach 71%.
About 1 hours and 7 minutes to reach 86%.
About 1 hours and 18 minutes to reach 100%.
Final thought, this is really good QC 2.0 charger for its price, build quality is great and the price is really acceptable especial when ASUS is selling their charger for about $29.99 USD in the US.
Key features
Cheap price
3 USB ports for charging 3 devices at the same time.
Great quality
Main disadvantages
Non for now
You can buy this charger at Amazon for $19.99 USD. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...ck+Charge+2.0+42W+3+Ports+Wall+Travel+Charger
I have their quick charger with only 1 quick charging USB port and I'm also very satisfied with him. 15.9 $ on eBay..
@Tronsmart, is this charger have led ? and LED can changes color depend on it on normal charging or QC2.0 is active ?
I already try 2 QC2.0 charger. Aukey and LVSun. Sold my aukey, still have LVSun, now i want to try this tronsmart. Unfortunately, i only can get it on ebay/aliexpress, non local seller (indonesia). Take more than a month (if lucky).
@dasklney - In this test, was the phone connected to VoltIQ or to the QC2.0 port?
It was connected to QC2.0 port
Is charging mi power strip fast ?

I also see that you also have a mi power strip.
Since it provides charging at 5v_2.1 Amps.......so tell me
Does it also quick charge?
And what time it take to charge your phone from mi power strip.

I only monitored the Tronsmart Quick Charge only, when charging with Mi PowerStrip, it only shows normal charging, and I use Mi Powerstrip more often then quick charger.
I also just recently bought the [Qualcomm Certified] Tronsmart Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Car Charger. I haven't tried it yet but based on your review I can't wait to start using it & see if it's as advertised. Thanks for sharing.

Finally got a chance to use the charger briefly today. Not sure about how closely it performed to specs but I've found an unexpected benefit - it works with my wife's ancient cell phone! We've tried many different car chargers and nothing's worked with her phone. So I can guarantee that it is indeed backwards compatible.
Is it compatible with Asus Zenfone 2 2gb z008 (ze550ml)?

So coming from a Samsung Note 2, 3,and 4, I'm missing the peace of mind that carrying around a freshly charged spare battery gives. I always felt lame tethering a phone to a battery pack while waiting for it to charge. Well, I love this Axon 7, so there's gotta be some auxiliary portable power to make up for that.
I ordered This portable battery from Amazon that is supposed to be the slimmest portable battery that still has Quick Charge. I'll have to see how it works/fits and report back. If anyone has seen anything else similar, please recommend.
I did find a 6" USB-C cable to use with it so there's not a lot of extra cable to keep coiled when charging.
Also curious if anyone has seen a battery case for this thing?
I don't plan to use them all the time, but sometimes I'll be away from a charger and I need to communicate with work.
I'm using the Xiaomi power bank pro (10Ah) that has USB Type-C and also Quick Charge and my phone is charging insanely fast (30 min to 80%). I got the powerbank for 25$ on aliexpress.
ps: that 5Ah power bank in the link you posted is a joke, you will be able to charge your phone just one time if the powerbank is full. ( real capacity around 3.5Ah).

Thanks for the feedback - I'm actually looking for the slimmest/smallest power bank that I can get to charge in-pocket, as I already have a large 14,000 one that has QC that's about the same size as the Xiaomi one you mentioned. I only care about a single full recharge cycle - but one that does it as fast as possible for this need.
If you are happy with one charge then go for it.

I love these tiny phone-sized chargers as well - one charge is plenty for me as well (usually only need it when I'm walking around all day as a tourist or something). I just wish they would start to make some of these with USB-C cables built into them. I used to have one with built-in USB-micro and lightning adapter and loved it - when it was connected to the phone it was just like having a charger case in your pocket anyway...

Yes, I used to have one with the built in cable, too and that's actually the first thing I looked for, but being that there's not a lot of USB-C devices yet, I wasn't surprised that none existed with the built-in cable. Would be awesome if someone made one, though- I would immediately buy that if it was a single-charge slim w/ Quick Charge.
Just wanted to post my findings and pictures of the iKits unit.
Note that the shortie USB-C cable I ordered separately and does not come with the iKits unit! The iKits has a standard micro-usb that it comes with.Also be aware that the battery is labeled QuickCharge 3.0 - but that's only for charging the battery itself - I believe the capability to charge the phone is only at QC 2.0 (you'll see this sort of explained in the product description on Amazon link below).

I ran my battery down all day to about 34%. Plugged it with this cable and battery unit and was to 100% in a little over an hour, so I am happy with charging speed. Also in the battery stats "power management" area of the Axon, it definitely stated "Quick Charging" during this period.
I'm still interested in a battery case if anyone runs across one.
Here are the links to the cable and charger on Amazon:
$6.88 6" USB-C Quick Charge supported cable
$29.99 iKits 5000Mah Quick Charge 2 portable battery
So does anyone know of a case that fits the Axon 7 that has a built-in battery, similar to the Morphy JuicePack?
If there is a thread already created about this then i appologise. Is anyone else having charging issues? I have noticed it takes a super long time to charge my device. I'm at 83% and with fast charging on it's saying that it's gonna take 30min to fully charge. I am using the standard usb and brick that came with my s8+. I have ampre installed also and it shows max 1010mA, voltage shows 4.2v. Heck my nexus 6 charges 12 to 1300 Ma and the voltage is around 4, and it's only 2.0. Why does the S8 + charge so slow? The S8 should easily charge at around 5 volts or more. I don't understand why it takes so long to charge, is there anything I can do to speed this up? I thought about buying a 25w brick but I'm not sure if that would speed things up or not..Im charging at around 1% every 3mins. NOT GOOD!
I wish my S8+ was rooted?
I'm also getting rather slow charging, both wired and wireless with the official wireless charger. I read on the standard s8+ page for other users on Exynos who also got slow charging after June update. My device is a Verizon model on unlocked firmware.
I haven't had any issues with charging what so ever. I use both the Samsung provided fast charger and a Motorola fast charger that came with my Moto X a while back at work. Both charge fast using a 10ft Anker charger cable on both chargers.
I have the USA carrier unlocked varriant. I bought this before I even thought about getting my s8+. I don't understand why my s8+ charges so slow. My nexus 6 takes like 30mins to charge from 0-100% my s8+ takes almost 2hrs!

How many minutes does it take you're s8+ to charge 1%

I have been charging for a few minutes and here is my voltage and it's bull sh*!.

I'm also getting rather slow charging, both wired and wireless with the official wireless charger. I read on the standard s8+ page for other users on Exynos who also got slow charging after June update. My device is a Verizon model on unlocked firmware.

I wonder if the samsung can roll out a fix to make our devices charge faster? Maybe a small update...ita time to spread the word and tell everyone that owns a galaxy s8 and galaxy s8+ to call samsung and complain about slow charging. It might be a waste of time but it wouldn't hurt to try!

I measured charging on my S8+ using a CHOETECH USB cable with a built in meter and I noticed that while screen is on, the phone drops back to standard charging (5V 1A). When I turn off the screen, it immediately jumps back to 9V and stabilizes at around 1.4A. I'm not sure if this is the intended nature of Samsung's Adaptive Charging, but if you want juice quickly, you definitely can't be using the device at the same time. Anyone else who has a USB power meter who feels like their device charges fast, please post your findings from your device. I kinda get it, on why they might be doing it, to prevent overheating of the battery.

Makes sense. But I can not reach what you indicated, with or without screen on. How long does it take to drop as soon as you turn on the screen? By the way I'm using Ampre.

The drop in voltage is instant when you turn the screen on. I'll take some pictures.
Take a pic of you're charger too I may have to buy a new and improved one.

Here's the readouts with the screen off
And this is the readout with screen on
I have noticed something. I have my brightness at 100% and have been charging for around 20 mins and my s8+ isn't even a little warm. The screen isn't even warm and I have been playing games and shopping on eBay and amazon the whole entire time. When I charge my nexus 6 the phone gets super hot! Almost hot enough to make you wanna move it. I laid it on my chest and it made my skin red, screen facing down.

That's precisely what I'm thinking. Samsung probably is intentionally manipulating the charging voltage and current to prevent overheating. My HTC 10 would get hot as hell while it's charging, but this phone is cool to the touch. Samsung probably wants to avoid the events of the Galaxy Note 7 again. I'm using the charger that came with my HTC 10 btw.
Yup, samsungs a little paranoid lol. The charging cable and the anker wall charger seems to be doing its job then. I just cant see the numbers. What about using a 25w charger would we be able to get faster charging time?
I wish my S8 plus was rooted?
I gotta go, please keep me informed if you find out anything to help us gain faster charging times. Maybe if some one can bootloader unlock this damn thing, we can overclock and undervolt maybe that would help get max current overload ?

Has anyone found a good, reliable wireless charger for their G7 yet? (My cheap $15 charging stand isn't cutting it and I'm about to whip it against the wall).
I've been using this one by Anker, charging it overnight. Takes about 2 hours to fully charge from about 30% to 100%
No issues with it yet but only have had it about 2 weeks now.

Thanks! I have about 4 older Samsung charging pucks. What's strange is that two work fine, but the other two don't charge my G7 at all. (I'm sure it has something to do with the USB cable and/or plug that I'm using).

Bear in mind that you have to use the supplied cable, along with your o.e. charger for the Anker stand. The port on the back of the stand is a micro usb, not a usb-c.
I've been using one like this one for years no issues and good brand..
I have the older model but I see this one with same specs

Also found this one..
7.99 with promo code DT2XNIU7, down from $12.95
It has another 5% off clip coupon

G7 will say fast charging on a 10W wireless charger but LG says the phone supports 15W for true fast charging. Belkin and a handful of others make true 15W fast wireless chargers.
Watch out for off brands as many will say 15w but are actually 10w.
Im using a mophie here and it says fast wireless charging at 10w.

Good call on this charger. I picked it up on your recommendation after seeing the price before I even owned this phone and I can confirm it works great. Anker makes solid products so the price makes it even better. Thanks!
Another vote for the Anker Charger
I've been using the Anker model A2523 wireless charger with no problems. It doesn't charge super fast, but I use it for overnight charging, so that's not a problem. While charging, the battery never goes above 30 degrees centigrade, which is 2 to 4 degrees cooler that when I was using the original LG plug in charger that came with the phone! The Anker uses a Micro USB port for power, so I also got a USB-C to Micro USB adapter, so that if I need to recharge quickly, I can just unplug the LG charging cable from the adapter which is plugged into the back of the Anker charger and plug it into the phone. I think that's the best solution until more USB-C wireless chargers are produced.

Does it show as fast charging with this charger?

No, it just states it's charging wirelessly. It's not too fast but perfect for overnight without roasting the phone or battery.
just got the UMIDIGI Q1 , and it says fast wireless charging.
Have some others scattered around the house that is 5w, like choetech t513
I have quite a few Anker products, so when I was looking for a bedside wireless charger, I was almost sure I would end up with them. However, after researching on Amazon for about an hour, I ended up buying the Yootech Wireless Charger (the goofy company name made me think that it might be a cheap rebrand, but it's been a rock solid device). I can say for the LG G7 that this is an amazing charger (although it supports a wide range if you or someone else might want to use it with a different device; especially an older one) that comes with an impressive AC adapter (it doesn't get warm while in use, something that sometimes happens with more compact adapters). It does use MicroUSB instead of USB-C and maxes out at 10W instead of 15W, however it tops up my phone from 20 - 30% to 100% in less than two hours so it's a keeper for me and allows me to save my included charger specifically for travel.
I got the BlitzWolf BW-FWC4 from Amazon for €15. Fast wireless charging thanks to QI-EPP compatibility. Works flawlessly through my Voia case. Charges almost as fast as wired. I'm using the original wall charger to power it.
got the nillkin 15w qi powerflash. Fast charging works and cooler than UMIDIGI Q1 thanks to buil in fan.

Hey, what are the charging speeds on the Nillkin? Does it charge as fast as the UMIDIGI ? Their description does not mention fast charging for LG so was wondering.
