Charging speed

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy S7 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

charging speed is fine, but anyway after quick charging the phone has like 20-30% less battery life ...

what ???

 

[s3icc0]

what ???

I am saying that battery life is incredible ... but I noticed when I charge the phone using fast charging from like 10% to 100% then it is loosing capacity much faster ... that is it ... I am still satisfied

Interesting, thanks.

I disabled fast charging since on my S6 Active it used to make the phone insanely hot and actually started burning the cable at the point where it connected to the phone.

That being said, I'm actually really impressed how fast this phone charges with just a usb cable from a computer or car usb port. Very fast charging without 'fast charging' enabled.

Charging speed.

There is only a 10 minutes difference between fats charging on and off on my s7. Is that normal?

 

[olafsand]

It charge 0-60% quick but after that it charge normal speed.

I've also noticed that.. I thought was something with me, or it was just a feeling from myself!
But now I've seen more people dealing with same "problem" (if we can put it that way)!

When I charge with Fast Charging ENABLE, the S7 seems to drain battery faster then when I charge with Fast Charging DISABLE!

Totally agree! I had SOT time till yesterday about 2-3h...and yesterday i had to charge my phone with regular 2A 5V charger at work...takes 30 minutes more time but SOT was allmost 7 hours

I'm not comfortable with how hot my phone gets while fast charging. Reading this, I'll try turning it off. I'm also uncomfortable with how hot wireless charging makes my phone. I doubt I'll use it much unless the micro USB port goes.

How much time do you keep your phone in charging?
Mine is charging in 1 hour and 45 minutes, but i keep it 2 hours. ( I disabled Fast Charging )

 

[connectandroid]

maybe to reduce heat, don't wait until phone is <66% battery level to charge it up ?

 

[BitFeed]

About 1h wifi charging

Using QC2.0 charger is really quick.

 

[mastermind34]

Charges pretty fast, I turned off quick charging because my phone gets very warm.
10% in about 10-20 minutes?

I use volt meter with fast charge on get arount 1.7a and with fast charge off around 1.3a. It's pretty fast even fast charge is off

What wireless charger are you guys using?! Specifically you guys with hot phones. The reason I ask is because my s6 use to get hot using the standard samsung fast wireless charging pad. Now with the newer Samsung fast wireless charging stand it is cooler to touch. I also noticed there is a fan runing being the pad.

Perhaps the fan is helping keeping the phone cooler then other pads?!

I use volt meter with fast charge on get arount 1.7a and with fast charge off around 1.3a. It's pretty fast even fast charge is off

But, with fast charge it uses about 9 volts wich means a max of about 15 watt.

without fast charge it uses about 5 volts which means a max of about 6,5 watt

So less then half max power without fast charge..

I haven´t seen the phone getting more then 1,4 amps on 5 volt even with stock charger..

Just nowI tried and get this. No idea @@
