**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

I would not call them lucky.

Based on all the research I've done the past day, both base and phone handshake the 15w standard, and if compliant will transmit at that power.

The Samsung Fast chargers are not 15w out of the box, there actually isn't a 15w base out at the moment as it's so new. Incipio have one coming out called the Ghost. Should be good.

It's nice to know though that there's no faff with wires for the future of the S7 in terms of fast charging.
Here a picture of the base of the new wireless charger

 
Anyone know the output of it?

Since Samsung said the S7 charges faster, I can only assume then that the efficiency is just better than on the S6 (would make sense given the new internals) to account for the larger battery charging faster.

This doesn't explain the price being double the existing flat wireless fast charger though if there is no spec difference :/
 
Old S6 didn't have Wireless fast charge, just regular slow wireless charging - I thought you knew this?

Only the S6E+ and Note 5 had it.
 
I thought they all had it, nevertheless that is what I'm referring to anyway (hence S6/Edge/Note 5 mentions above) so that doesn't change anything in this context.
 
Just ended my contract early with O2 and upgraded to a gold edge. Due 3 days before release? Probably paid an extortionate amount for the privilege but the (my) company pay for it all so a proportion of the cost is just not being paid to the tax man if you get my drift.

you lost me


S6 and S6E = slow wireless

S6E+ and N5 = fast wireless, same thing the S7 has now.
 
Hows the wireless charging range? in the sense - if I have a decent cover on the phone will it wireless-ly charge or does the cover leave the phone too far off the plate to charge?

I thought they all had fast wireless charging, not just the S6E+ and Note 5 hence why I just referred to them as "S6/Edge/Note 5" - The Edge+ wirelessly charges to full in 2 hrs or a little more. posts online suggest the S7 charges to full in 90 minutes. This would make sense since the S7 supports the new 15watts wireless charging standard which the S6 Edge Plus does not.

That's what I was on about.
