It's half the price and fast charges a lot of devices for a start.

Yes, according to Samsung's own site. It's what I've ordered it for!

I got 1 of these for my s6 & it's much slower than your normal charger

S6 doesn't have fast wireless charging which is why.

the galaxy s6 isn't a fast charge only the s6 edge + and later phones

Why? i love comments like this no reason why, useless post.
I put my phone on mine when i go to bed and when i wake up its fully charged, i dont sit their watching it charge, i wouldnt use it if i needed to boost my low battery quickly id use a fast charger. You cant beat not having to root down the back of your bed side table thought 10 other charging cables.
I bought a SGS6 edge last week when i could of had a Nexus 6p but the reason was i wanted to go back to wireless charging like i had on my Nexus 5 i really missed it.

Agreed. £20 for what exactly. To save 3 secs

WRONG! Using the phone with the cable still attached can be a PITA. With the handset on wireless charge a simple call, text or email etc. does not involve a lot of messing about.

You missed out bud. Nexus 6P is a vastly superior device. Have had both the 6P and edge, and the 6P blows the edge out of the water (and that's despite me being somewhat of a Samsung fanboy here!)

So what makes this device worth buying and using instead of the charging wire I got free with my phone?

To save your charging port. Not having to guess which way round it plugs in in the dark.

I got the S6 as a replacement after my HTC M8's charging port wore out to the point where you had to wrap the cable around the phone in a certain way to get it to charge (the port was at fault, not cable) and I used the Qi charger since day 1. One year on and the ports look flawless, has helped increase resale value :smiley:

I understand what you're saying...however: I have a cheaper Anker version (£9.99) on my desk at work. Because I'm constantly having to get up and leave my desk throughout the day it's much better being able to just pick my phone up and plop it back down when I return.
If you have a Galaxy S6 you'll know that the battery life is terrible so it's good knowing that my phone is getting topped up whenever I'm at my desk. No more 20% battery when I get home :smiley:

I have a Nexus 7 that has a broken charge socket. Wireless charger works fine in this instance.

Not according to this guy who uses it with s6 edge.
**Fast Charging - This does not work with this unit, however this is something that cannot be used with QI charging as far as I know so it’s not an issue with the unit, it’s more to let you know in advance that none of the wireless chargers can offer this function so don’t expect something you cannot CURRENTLY get! For this reason I use my fast charger at work and then use this when I go to sleep, it’s so nice to wake up to a full battery!

Got to highlight this - this does NOT fast charge your phone. It uses the fast charge wire, but it charges at a normal speed.
I got this pad with the phone on special offer when it was released. It's good, but it is definitely only a standard charge.
thehoss89 to Tubey
23 Feb 16#27
It states it only fast charges the S6 edge + and Note 5. All others will charge at standard speed
I own a Galaxy S6 and use mine in work, plop it on the pad while I'm working and it will get to 100% in no time.

I also don't sit & watch my phone charge who does?
Fast charge 1& half hours 0-full
Theses charges which are also supposed to support the fast charge take round 6-7 hours

So much misinformation about this and USB C cables. You have to do a lot of digging to find out the specs and speeds. There is a 5W output difference between regular wireless charging and fast wireless charging. The only phones that have fast wireless charging are the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 models and the S7 which has not been released yet. The difference is not astronomical but adds to the convenience factor. If you are expecting to get the same charge speeds as your wall adapter the technology has not evolved there yet. Perhaps one day.
These specs are straight from the User Manual.
Normal wireless Charging:
5V x 2A = 10 W
Fast Wireless Charging:
9V x 1.67A = 15 W

just ordered thanks OP the black is even cheaper btw
i have my phone in a griffin survivor case and have had charging port problems in the past so figure this should help prevent these problems
thehoss89 to scottpaul1973

FYI the black one isn't the fast charge model. Won't be any difference unless you own an S6edge + or Note 5 or are looking at getting the S7

I've just ordered an s6 so doesn't matter to me plus it's only for overnight charging but thanks for the heads up

will the fast charge work on the s7 edge? I wouldn't mind the black colour but wont sacrifice fast charge if its available
They may have lied too you, I believe it came out with the s6 Edge +.

Guys do not buy this, been happily using two of these bought direct from Amazon they are genuine, all of a sudden my s8/7/6 all randomly get a charging paused error resulting in no Charge, damn Irrating when you leave it and return to 0 progress.
Using my genuine fast charger plug and cable.
Turns out after a quick Google this is very common and and issue back in S6 days.
Will be returning both my units, sad love the freedom but having a unreliable charge is not worth it.
Opening post
Cheaper, possible fakes are available but this is a genuine Samsung product sold by Amazon.
RRP is £55
