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 S8+ can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

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

I must say, while battery life is exceptional, the charge time is not up to part with my S6. I forget what the maH was on the S6, but the S8+ doesn't charge as fast.

Charging speed on my s8+ is very fast. I don't mind that they didn't use fast charge 4.0 or 3.0 or 10.0, that's their choice and all I can do is look at the actual charging speed and not on the technology behind it and in my opinion it is very fast.

Compared to my Moto z force it's nowhere near as good. In half an hour the s8+ would be at around 40 while the z force is at around 60. What do you expect though from a 5amp charger. Just wish Samsung could've integrated the fast charge that the z force has.

app "Ampere" from PlayStore tells me fast charging feeds it more than 1200mAh consistently

battery lasts more than a day

happy with the Plus

Yesterday I charged my s8+ with the original fast charger and the original cable and it took 1 hour and 34 mins to charge from 1% to 100% and today I tried charging with the original charger of my s5 and it took 1 hour and 48 mins from 1% to 100%.
This is it? Only about 15 mins difference? 1 hour and 34 mins is quick but the difference between fast charging and regular charging with a normal charger isn't big at all.

AQI7 update had really made things fabulous.
Better standby and faster wireless charging compared to earlier ones.
And QC 3.0 charger charged my S8+ from 12-100 in 1hr 30min
