Sadly, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are only outfitted with quick charge 2.0(Check Qualcomm news:https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapd...-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-powered-snapdragon-820) Will samsung release the firmware to change the quick charge 2.0 to the 3.0 in future? Just like the HTC One A9.
Doesn't make sense that they would have a Chip that supports 3.0 and would limit it to 2.0 speeds...
S7 charges in 90mins, S7 Edge charges in 100mins.
Either way, I am not worried. 90 mins charge 3000mAh is pretty good.

It seems that fast charge is a snapdragon feature (since the note 4 got it, and the nexus 6 got it, and they both have the 805), does the exynos version have that feature also?
It has adaptive charging. I guess it's the same just Samsung brand instead of Qualcom
I've searched and google searched. Can't find any discussions or current kernels supporting quick charge 2.0. I just received my s5 yesterday and assumed someone would have figured out how to enable our qualcom chip for quick charging... Am I missing something or is this not possible?
Thanks!

Maybe I need to clarify... I understand the S5 isn't quick charge capable out of the box for some reason, but the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip is supposed to be capable(quotes below). If we're rooted and are able to use modified/custom kernels, is there some reason we haven't enabled quick charge? I saw one kernel that is supposedly dead which had supported "fast charging". I found only one other kernel, which listed nothing about fast charging or quick charging. I've already read all of those google search links which are old and have some reference for the ability(below quote). According to another post on XDA, a Japanese carrier has enabled it...
XDA member timeToy:
" Quick charge 2.0 feature itself is part of the Snapdragon 801 CPU https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/801
DoCoMo (Japan carrier) has officially enabled the Quick Charge 2.0 on their handsets, including the Galaxy S5. The power adapter is for sure different, and I am not aware of any firmware change."
"Despite the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) CPU (Qualcomm Snapdragon 801) being listed as Quick Charge 2.0 capable on Qualcomm’s site and claims to that effect on various blogs, the phone doesn’t support the charging standard in testing."

I see your point now.
But is QC2 really that much faster than USB 3.0 charging? Doesn't seem so, so maybe it's just not worth it for developers, if it's actually capable...

QC 2.0 is supposed to charge a 3300mA battery 0% to 60% in 30mins... I haven't tested USB 3.0 charge times since I received yesterday, but I'm guessing it's not as fast. What's your round about charge time?
I'll test charge time with OEM cable to USB 3.0 on my computer and using the OEM cable and wall charger and see what I get.

with USB3.0, my S5 charges at about the speed advertised for QC2. It's a wash man, just let it go...
Hey,
I'll get the exynos Version of the S7 Edge and now i don't know wich charger should I buy?
Should I take a Quickcharge 3.0 charger? or will it damage the Batterie, because the S7 / S7E only supports QC 2.0 if i remember correctly?
thanks
It wont matter if its the 3.0 it wont stuff the phone, the phone will just limit the amount of charging power
QC 3.0 charger will not damage S7, even though S7 only can utilize QC 2.0 standard.
You guys excited? I cannot wait for my s7 edge i got mine in black onyx although im in australia the guys in usa getting it early make me jealous
hey guys, there is a new rumor actually a photo that says that there is a new "super charger" that will charge your phone from 0-100% in less than 20 minutes....don't know if it's just a troll or true....what you think?
We'll find out tomorrow.
Seems like a no for that rumor, currently oppo has the best charger with its vooc thingamajiggy. Does 20watts and i think the battery is split into 4 sections so each section is charged at 5watts and at much lower temperatures.
Do we know yet which fast charging technology the S8 supports? Quick Charge 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, or USB Type C Power Delivery? Something else?

it seems it uses the same charger as the S7...so quick charge 2.0...i am not mad...but they could of used 3.0....i am sure SD835 can get 4.0 but the EXYNOS can't....it's samsung fault
Qc3 isn't any quicker, still stuck at 18watts. They compared an s7 to a phone with quickcharge 3 and the s7 still charged faster.
is the fast charging between the S6 and S7 any different?

Gotta believe they would've made a big deal of it at the press conference if it indeed had this. Perhaps the Note 7 debacle has made them extra cautious with anything battery-related.

I would imagine if the Exynos SoC can't rival QC4.0 on the Snapdragon then they will ensure the same experience for customers in all regions by limiting the Snapdragon charging speeds to meet Exynos, otherwise people will seek out the Snapdragon versions specifically.
I'm interested to know though as I have a USB charging hub at home with a QC2.0 port, might consider an upgrade to 3.0 if it's supported
yeah, they will keep QC 2.0 for both....
If Samsung is so worried about keeping playing field even amongst variants why don't we (U.S.) get 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage as reported for Chinese unit.

Good day.
I am about to change from a galaxy S7 to an S8. :highfive:
My question here is, does the galaxy S7 wireless fast charger will charge my S8 at full speed?
I read that S8 has Adaptive Fast Charging and i don't know if Galaxy S7 wireless charger suports that.
BTW, does S8 Exynos version of the phone support Quallcom Fast Charge 4?
Thank you.
Yes it'll work, it only supports qc 2.0.
