For anyone in the market for a new quick charger for their car....
I picked up one of these off a large online retailers site. Model CHOE-C0046T Best part was it included a new USB C cable. I suspect by their product listing on their website this item will undergo a single change where the quick charge port itself will be USB C... Right now both ports are USB A with one QC 3.0 and one regular usb port.
Charger has been working great and for $13.99 you can't beat it in price considering it comes with a cable.
Specs from details page...

I must agree with Dottat on this device. I also picked one up, and must say even at $13.99, it's a hard deal to pass up.
The USB-C cable seems solid. The charger itself is compact and small, so it doesn't protrude insanely far from your
cigarette lighter outlet.
Dottat gave many of the specs, so there's no need to repeat them all here. Suffice it to say, I am a satisfied customer
with this purchase!
Very nice car charger here, and the fact that it comes with a good quality USB type c cable makes it even better. Very small and compact. Great addition to my HTC 10!

So, before i get into this further, i would like to acknowledge that i received a discount on the device to write a review. With that being said, here goes: The highlighted blue USB slot is the QC 3.0, while the other is the 2.4A smartport. I own an HTC10, and it charged my device rapidly without getting hot in the 18 minute trip from work to home. It does trigger the rapid charger connected on the 10, which means it is taking advantage of the QC 3.0. The type-c cable is very well built and solid. This charger is great bang for the buck.
I also just picked this up Monday. I must say I'm impressed. Charges my phone great. Plus I got a free cord with it can't beat that. I recommend this to anyone looking for a 3.0 rapid charger for car.
I wanted to chime in on this since I grabbed one of these off Amazon. The USB cable seems of good quality, as does the actual charger itself. I have two HTC 10 devices and have now used this to charge both of them many times. I experienced no issues so far and everything appears to work quite well. The phones charged up quickly, as I would expect from a QC3 device. This was not a brand I was aware of before purchasing this product, that said I will definitely be looking at their stuff going forward.
I also received this car charger for review. Here is my review that I posted on Amazon:
I tested this CHOETECH QC 3.0 USB Type C Car Charger with my HTC 10. The charger charged my HTC 10 at full QC 3.0 speeds while testing. So far I have not run into any issues with the charger and it fits into my car's port with no issues. The car charger is actually much smaller than I was expecting,but still fits without issue.
Pros:
- Small size
- Comes with a USB C cable
- Charges at advertised speeds
Cons:
- None that I know of yet. I will update my review if I find any.
I have received this product for free or discounted price for my unbiased review. This does not affect my review score, as I try to review each item honestly.
I received a large discount in exchange for a review on Amazon as well. This is the second item I've received from Choetech (both were at a discount and I'd not previously heard of the company) and I've been very pleased with both. This car charger in particular is very nice. I don't think there's a whole lot to say about car chargers; either they perform as advertised or they don't, and this one does. It charges my LG G5 quickly without heating up and is small enough that I can leave it plugged in all the time. I do wish both ports were QC 3.0, but overall, that's the only thing I would change about it. It's a nice bonus that it also came with a decent quality USB-A to USB-C cable.
I too received a Choetech QC 3.0 USB Type C Charger, as I've done some reviews for Choetech in the past. I got this at a discount, but those who have read my reviews in the past know I can be overly critical BECAUSE I get things discounted. This, in the short time I've used it, seems like a hit. I mean, nobody is going to drop their pants for a car charger, right? It's a solid little unit, looks to be well constructed, and comes with a good quality A to C USB cable of decent length and thickness. QC 3.0 on one port, standard charging on the second, and it worked reliably in the week I tested it.
I have also received this device on discount and have zero complaints. Worked great on all three of my USB c devices. All hardware that was included is of top quality and works as advertised. Only thing I wish is that the cord coiled up so that it isn't laid out on the floor of my truck or in my console.

As everyone else said, this charger works great, exactly as advertised. I've used it on a few longer trips now, and have had no trouble getting to full charge nearly as fast as on my home charger. If you have multiple devices, you might want to check out a multi-QC3.0 charger rather than the one QC, one regular port, but for a single phone and a GPS, this works perfectly.
Quick question that might be a little obvious... Can I charge any kind of device on the second (non-blue-non-quickcharge) USB port?

I also got this device and im thoroughly impressed with it.
Puts your phone in quick charge mode after you plug it in and a short car ride later you arrive home with a charged up device.
Highly recommend this to anyone needing a good car charger for their HTC 10 at a good price to look no further than this device.

I'm pretty sure the original htc car charger does not support QC 3.0 rapid charging unlike the Choetech. You will only be able to charge at slower speeds.

Yes, it's true.
Awesome find. I did not see this brand on the qualcomm website. Is it due to list being not up to date? Also do you guys use the phone while it is charging? I pretty much drive around and use gps all day. Would this be in while in charger? If not can I just use the usb c cable this charger comes with and stick it in my regular t Mobile charger? If I use it that way would it be ok to charge and use phone without overheating battery? Thanks in advance

This is a review of Anker Bolt 3.6A (18W) Dual USB Car Charger: Anker Car Charger
From my own personal experience I use Note 2 every day as GPS to/from work. Everything is usually on (display, bluetooth), plus GPS/Google maps are up, and I take/make phone calls in a middle of all that. What does that mean? Battery is draining really fast, and even with car charger you need at least 2A output to be able to charge at faster rate than discharging with everything on. 2A charger is not hard to find, although question always come up if you can trust their actual rating. If you want to take it to the next level and charge another smart phone, you can probably find a dual charger with 2A and 1A, although reliability and current sharing during simultaneous use of ports might be in question. This new product from Anker took it to the next level where they are offering dual port output with 2.1A and 1.5A outputs and guarantee full current supply from each port at the same time. In terms of reliability, they are offering 18 months warranty which I think is a bold statement of confidence in their product.
3.6A, which is 18W, is a lot of power and to my surprise the charger was actually very small and lightweight. The dimensions of the end with dual ports is only 26 mm x 24 mm, and the whole charger is very lightweight and only 22g. This small size is very convenient for tight spaces like in your arm-rest compartment, and just in general is unobtrusive to use anywhere in the car. I know they advertise it as dual port with 2.1A for Apple (obviously iPad) and 1.5A for smart phones, but I confirmed that our Note 2 charges perfectly from Apple port. As a matter of fact that would be the best port to use for Note 2 fast charging. I took a picture in my car to demonstrate that both of the ports worked charging Note 2.
Overall it's a great little dual usb port car charger from a trusted company with a punch of 3.6A capacity split between 2.1A and 1.5A ports where both can be used simultaneously so you can do a fast charging of two devices at the same time. Plus, you can get it on Amazon for under $12 which is a bargain.
Here are a few pics:

Don't know if I ever get around it. I'm testing my ZeroLemon 9300 mAh so I mostly discharging my battery rather than charging it up. Will take a while before I get to in car charging Beside for me timing charge in the car makes no sense because I use my N2 for GPS and calls all the time, so I'm discharging it at a heavy rate as it charges up. But for sure, it goes up 15%-20% with this charger during my 1hr commute, but only because I use GPS/BT/display fully on at max brightness. This car charger is true 2.1A/1.5A, so the charging time from 2.1A shouldn't be any different than our OEM wall charger.

You should be able to use the Galaxy Charge Current app (available on the play store) to see how much current it's supplying (although this may vary depending on the USB cable you use with it, a reason why I'm purchasing the variant with a built in micro-usb cable and a usb port) although I seem to remember you stating in another thread you had one of the US variants of the Note II and the app may not be compatible with those.

Quick update on this:
Although the Galaxy Charge Current app only reports the charger giving 1.2a, over an approximately 15 minute period with the screen on, music playback, GPS lock and video recording @ 720p with DailyRoads Voyager, the charger was still able to charge my N7100 from 80% to 86%, which isn't bad considering the heavy load it was under.

Pretty good! But the one you bought is their old generation 15W charger (2.1A and 1A outputs), while this one is a revised new gen 18W with 2.1A and 1.5A outputs - this one

Ah, thanks for the info. Seems I'm only missing out on 300mA though (one reviewer says the android port on that is rated at 1.5A and I get 1.2A from mine) so I don't think I'll go for that one. this way I know I'm going to get a decent charge no matter what usb cable I use. I've only got one that's actually capable of charging at full speed and having to take it everywhere I go would be annoying, the fixed charger on this is perfect for me.
Only posted here to help others looking for a decent car charger, as you did. Every other thread I see on the topic seems to recommend usb chargers such as yours but never recommend cables capable of utilising them to their full potential.
Anyway, keep up the great reviews
Most of them make me want to spend money I know I shouldn't on things I don't necessarily need

Absolutely! I highly recommend to use Monoprice usb 28AWG/24AWG cables with Ferrite choker and gold-plated connectors. You need thicker cables to handle 2A current. Do not use thin computer cables designed for 500mA current.
Monoprice cables are very cheap too, 3ft for $1.08: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=8640&seq=1&format=2 or 6ft for $1.40: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=8641&seq=1&format=2

I'd go with what Vectron suggested.
In the UK the only cable I've found that does is an old BlackBerry usb cable my cousin had. Swapped it for a spare cable I had that only did 1A because her phone only charges at 1A anyway.

Absolutely, it's low voltage drop cable design. Plus it never failed me in the car either if it's 100deg C or down to single digits.
Just ordered one to see if it'll trigger my iBolt Dock's USB charging/audio feature. Hopefully it does...if it doesn't, well least I can charge two phones in the car at once now.
Ordered these cables from monoprice, used with my original charger and couldn't get my ZL9300 charged over 72%. Kept it on charger for over 12 hours

Can't be the cable. It's just a thick wire. If it would have been defective, you wouldn't be able to even charge it up to 72%, although you can never tell for sure. So you have used original Samsung 2A wall charger with it's original cable from the same AC wall outlet to charge up your Note 2 with Zerolemon before to 100% without any problem? I just want to baseline your working setup so you can troubleshoot from there. If it was working before in exactly the same setup and you only replaced the cable, can you go back to the original cable and see if it will charge it to 100% without a problem? If not, then it's something wrong with a cable. Make sure nothing funny is going on with your AC wall outlet plug. I discovered that in my house I have a few that not allowing me to do fast charging due to some electric wiring limitation. Also, make sure everything is connected all the way in. Depending on the case you are using, some of these micro-usb connectors are a bit too thick to go all the way in, and although it looks like you are charging - because connector is not mated all the way in, you have a bad contact and limiting charging current. I actually BET you that's exactly what is going on. I have so many usb-to-micro-usb cables around, can't keep track of it. But I remember at my work I had to slice a piece of micro-usb connector to make it thinner to work with my Zerolemon TPU, and I believe that was monoprice cable. Definitely check it out, cause that could be a problem in your case.
Everything was the same, same 2A charger, same outlet, same phone with ZL battery . Just replaced my Samy cable with 6ft one from monoprice. Will try again tomorrow with oem cable, will see how it goes

Trim micro usb connector. Gotta be it.
It seems to fit pretty tight, but I will definitely try it.
Ha! The Anker direct store in ebay is selling this for $55!! What is it made of gold now? LOL.
Man I bought 5 of the LG wall chargers that charge fast, and every data cable I buy my phone says is slow charging. Does anyone know what or where I can get a good one? These last cable arecawrsome, cloth braided wire, fits great, just slow charging...

I read this article recently about this issue and then ordered one of these to check my USB port outputs. It's weird but the USB 3.0 port on my laptop that is meant to be the one that you can set to be activated for charging stuff when the laptop is off actually has the lowest output compared to the other USB 3.0 & USB/eSATA combo 2.0 ports.
The article recommends The Practical Meter product which does the same thing as the eBay meter but apparently comes with connectors that trick devices into drawing the full 1A/[email protected] USB power. I was trying to find an alternative product (which I would not have to order from the US and be stung with import charges for) but I was not able to. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
Currently, I am charging my G3 through a USB 3.0 port with the eBay meter which states that it's drawing 0.21A/4.80V...I don't really know much about electronics so if someone could tell me if that is good or bad it would be appreciated. Lucky that I saw your post as I am reminded now that I must get a proper wall charger. BTW what is the model number of ur LG charger so I can see the info about it?

Hi, are these chargers genuine LG? The problem with cheap Chinese copies us that they do not include certain components by which you phone decides to use more power. Its the phone that adjusts how much power it is able to draw. For example using standart usb, which if you do you research on internet, only able to supply 500ma of power (0.5A) so the phone detects that and switches to lo power draw. Another reason sometimes for low power charge is that some cheap cables does not include full 4 cables inside??? I know! Crazy! They will not connect your phone to computer because they only have power cables inside and not data cables. Anyway try your original cable with these chargers and your original charger with your non original cables to work out what is capable of what. [emoji106]
And by the way, don't get fooled with that braiding nonsense, it's only to make it look good, but it does not define the quality. [emoji44]
I have been buying Samsung branded cables for a while now, and the all seem to do the trick, the only downside is their length - I want a long cable ant the are very short, but hey, on wireless charger it makes no difference [emoji6]

Hi, you should not incur any import charges to UK, since tax free allowance is £18 or equivalent in other currency. Also. 0.2a or 200ma is a very low charging current, it should take whole night to charge it. I think the charger does not have certain component to let the phone know that it is capable to supply more that a standard usb?. Why not to use you charger supplied with you phone?

Yes I know but often the postage takes it above that and then the VAT comes. I don't know why they include the shipping charges in with the cost of the item but I've been stung in the past like that. For international postage it's $8.50 so brings it to $28.49 or about £17.23 (xe.com) which is usually a little more generous than say Paypal so it's a little risky and might go over the boundary. In any case, I notice that they have UK stockists and also in Canada & Russia...but I have just ordered the PortaPow high speed adapter which I think is basically the same thing but cheaper and more practical and allows a 1A draw for charge.
The current cables I use are a 60cm Samsung U2 data cable with my PC or with the USB wall adapter, a 1.5m generic data one I got in Spain which is extremely well built and strong with a thick cable and solid connectors but I will try the one in the box now you mention and see if that makes a difference.
Using the 1.5m cable gives - Wall: 5.32V/0.79-80A & USB: 4.78V/0.27A. - (0.46A with the other USB ports)
Using the G3 supplied cable gives - Wall: 4.80V/0.80-83A & USB: 4.71V/0.49A - so this cable is better all round and on the USB port.
Using the Samsung gives - Wall: 5.20V/0.79-8.2A & USB: 4.80V/0.21A (The other USB 2 & 3 ports: 5.04V/0.47A)
It seems the USB port I always use and that is for charging when the laptop is off is unpredictable and has something possibly defective with it as it gives 0.45-49A with the G3 cable but much lower with the rest so I will keep the Samsung one for the PC but use the other USB 3.0 port and use the 1.5m on the USB wall adapter.
Do you know how much an actual wall adapter (non USB) gives out? Will it be around the same as a wall USB adapter or much more?
If I put the original dat cable on the wall charger units I purchased, no problem, if I use the New cables on the original wall charger I got with the phone, I get the slow charge message, so the problem has to be the cables

Actually, I just noticed but the LG cable is giving me the charging slowly message too on the other USB 3.0 port...I just plugged it back into the older one that was giving me 0.2A and now it's giving me 0.5A and no slow charge message! WTF is going on?! lol

Charging from a PC irrespective of USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 will always give you a slow charge. The factory charger charges at 1.8A compared to the max of 0.5A from a PC.
So does anyone know of cables that allow 1.8

I'm trying to get extras...maybe LG has one
I guess I need to be the one that says any manufacturer's USB cable that works at all should be able to do at least 1 amp charging. USB spec is .5 amp, so that isn't surprising. Laptops that don't recognize something plugged into the port may not send the full voltage in order to save power, it depends on the manufacturer. The stock cable should easily handle 2.1 amp.
In short, the problem is much more likely to be the charging adapter or the USB port not putting out enough voltage, not the cable itself.
At least its not Apple which requires you to have iTunes installed to charge iDevices properly off of a USB port.

My HTC M8 Quick charger's USB cable seems to work fine with the LG 1.8amp charger but at least here in the UK the HTC charger is difficult to get find. So not the best answer to your query, sorry.
This is a review of Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 (Qualcomm certified) wall charger. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QEX83LA/ ($16.99), product page: http://www.aukey.com/product/pau28-qualcomm-quick-charge-usb-adapter
This is going to be a quick review since we are talking about a wall charger, though it's not an ordinary one but rather featuring Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology implemented in our Galaxy Note 4 as part of an adaptive fast charging. I see more of these wall chargers starting to pop up, but want to be sure you guys/gals don't fall for ebay scams and rather go with a trusted brand names that has been around for awhile and offer a solid warranty and tech support. The idea of Quick Charger 2.0 tech is to implement a higher voltage adaptive charging (at 9V or 12V instead of typical 5V) to accelerate charging of your smartphone battery. A number of new phones and tablets can take advantage of this adaptive fast charging already, while this product is also backward compatible with older phones to charge at 5V. Furthermore, you have to keep in mind that max current rating doesn't mean that your older phone will be drawing more current, it shouldn't sink more than it's maximum current rating. Therefore this particular charger from Aukey is universal to work with newer phones and also backward compatible with older ones, even those that can't take advantage of 2A charging.
The product itself arrived in a small environmentally safe box with just a charger and user manual. It would have been good if they would include usb to micro-usb cable, but I guess Aukey assumed that we already have plenty of those laying around. Just please keep in mind, for a higher voltage/current fast charging make sure to use a higher quality thicker usb cables. Thinner "data" usb cable are not intended for high current, and as a matter of fact can current-limit charge resulting in overheating.
Overall, this Aukey Quick Charger 2.0 performed exactly the same as Samsung Galaxy Note 4 original fast charger, which makes it a great replacement or a second set to keep in your office or when traveling. The build quality is good, feels solid in my hand, didn't overheat - no complaints here!
Here are the pictures.

Thanks a lot for the review. I also bought two along with a pack of 4 usb cables from Aukey for 32 euros and its working great. I would never pay 35 euros for a single charger when all quickcharge 2.0 certified chargers work the same
Vectron, another great review. Thank You.
What glass screen protector are you currently using?
What a great review. even though there is no cable included
Priced dropped to $14.99.

Qualcomm quick charging 2, does that mean that it only works for the snapdragon version? Or would it work on the exynos version (N910C) too?
NICE!

it will "work" in the same way any charger for the exynos will, as a 5.3V 2A charger. It will not Quick charge. so you are probably looking at ~1:45-2hrs to charge vs ~1:15-1:30 for a full charge on the stock battery.
Quick charge doesn't really do anything for the extended batteries since there is a limitation (firmware maybe) of 3320 MAH after that the charger stops charging. So quick charging has to be disabled to charge the larger batteries. Quick charging worked perfectly with an anker 6400 battery that I now have. Apparently this is a zerolemon limitation
I have this charger as well. I do think it charges slightly faster that the stock charger although that could be wishful thinking on my part. There really is no way to compare them since they both charge so quickly (normally right around an hour from 20%-full) so a minute or two could be simply what the phone is doing in the background.
I also have the tenergy, anker, verizon quick chargers and with all of them the charge is very fast.
How hot does it get? I had a 2A charger that sometimes got too hot to touch... at some point it died.

Mine dosent. The phone does a little, especially during the first half of the battery
I just bought a 5-port version (with 4 Ai ports and 1 QuickCharge port) http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-Aukey-Charging-Included/dp/B00UV4HCL0
OP's review covered the QuickCharge port. How about the other 4 ports? Does the Ai really work?
Thanks!
Hmm... I've received mine today with one USB port, but it's strange that micro usb don't go all the way to my Note 4 F version, and don't seem to charge fast as well? When Samsung charger is plug in there is a notification "Fast charger connected" but with Aukey there is no such information. Is it possible that I've bought fake/faulty one? When plugged my Note 4 to Aukey charger I didn't see any changes of battery percentage (when plug in was 8%) after about 5min was the same with Samsung went from 8% to about 11%. Any ideas?
I have the aukey one with three USB ports. When I plug on the fast charge, the screen does say fast charge.

I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07234DKQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bE2pBbY3VNZHN
It's no longer on sale but other copied versions are available for $15. I only got it because AUKEY and Anker didn't have a Power Delivery one at the time the Pixel 2 XL came out. I know the phone charge rate is limited but I wanted to "future proof" and get a type-C charger that could do higher. I also paired with with an Aukey type-C to type-C cable.
The Aukey charger you linked should be fine. I prefer these charger without an attached cable because those can possibly go bad and you can't change the cable.

Great. Thanks for the alternative. I ended up just purchasing the one I asked about in the OP. If it performs poorly I'll ask for a refund from the seller and go with the one youve listed. I hope my purchase works and works well right out of the box, but I have yet to be impressed with a car charger for any phone. I'm a hopeful skeptic.
Yeah Aukey is legit and you should be fine. Keep in mind that it'll charge fastest with the screen off of course. However, I still get a good charge while using Android Auto and having navigation and music playing. It's definitely not the 0% change (sometimes still loss battery) that I had with the Nexus 5X with the screen on.

The choetech suggested as the alternative does have 100% 5 star reviews and a lot of pixel 2 xl users from what I can see. I think I should have probably went with that one, but the aukey is going to be here Monday. I'll try it and report here what I find. I noticed in the descriptions that the choetech delivers 3a. The aukey is only 2.4, but in a review someone noted that their pixel 2 xl says "charging rapidly" when plugged into the aukey's usb-c. I guess time will tell.
As someone mentioned, yes, there Verizon ones are ALWAYA solid, but they're usually.pretty expensive last I checked. I almost just went with that option, but I hate going in there and giving them my money. I try to avoid it.
Read the details again. The 2.4a is for regular USB and not USB-C Power Delivery. Both Aukey and Choetech do PD (Aukey is up to 24w and Choetech is only 18w) which includes the 9v/2a the Pixel 2 XL stock charger does. In the end that doesn't matter much because the phone is capped off below that. Also, the Aukey would be more "future proof" for devices to come if phones do go up to 24w.

awsome, thank you very much
I have the aukey and have been using it for about a week now with the stock little Google cord that came with the phone. I use a longer 10' Google cord (I've tried using the cheapo ebay cords and they've never lasted. That's why I'm here for the car charger cause they're the same) for the charging block in the house. That way I can still look at my phone in bed at night to set my alarm, etc. It still manages to creep there charger up while using the phone with the screen on. With the screen off I think it's about as fast as the stock wall charger. I'm not about to drain the phone and do a timed test or something though, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I'm definitely satisfied so far. I'm glad I didn't do what I usually do and buy some eBay cheapo. Let's see if it stands the test of time though.
Just another update: it's still going very strong and functioning very well.

I've given up on car chargers. I really started traveling so much for business that I needed something that would charge my laptop too so I just started looking for a full wall outlet thinking I can just use whatever. I gave up on looking for chargers with PD and just bought a new samsung laptop type c-charger thinking it has to have enough torque and it does.
I got a cheap power line charger with two wall outputs and 2 5volt 2.4 amp USB for the goons in my family that use iPhones.
But now any wall charger I use for a Fast Charge I can just use in my car.
Just wondering what wireless chargers everyone is using.
Seeing that the Pixel Stand is so expensive. I've opted to use my Samsung Fast Wireless charging stand as my main charger, but noticed that my old Nokia DT-900 charger (back from my Nexus 5) still manages to show "charging rapidly" on my Pixel 3, so I have it as an extra charger for my living room.
So what chargers are you guys using or what do you recommend?

I couldn't get it to work. It looks like it's charging, makes all the little noises and displays, but the charge doesn't go up. I'll try it again I guess. I have so many USB c cords and chargers now that it's really never a problem. My laptop also has a usb c port for fast charge. I did notice the old Nexus charger got pretty warm so it kinda threw me off the wireless idea. Maybe on black Friday the Google one will go half off and I'll get it then.

Yes, it's all the same technology
Pixel 3 capability of 18W - what does it mean for 10W or 39W Qi chargers
Following up on a research.
I see lots of wireless Qi chargers, with advertised high wattage numbers. Also Pixel 3's battery array is advertised to support 18W speed charging.
Does it mean:
1. that 10W chargers are slower than what pixel 3 can handle ?
2. that 30W+ chargers are a waste of money?
3. should I look for exactly 18W chargers?
Also my 4 years old Duracell Powermat does not charge the pixel 3, I can't see why.
Last bit - if you use a charger that works, could you please link it from amazon/somewhere else please?
Thanks,
JD

The pixel supports 18w charging over USB.
The wireless charging maxes out at 10w.
Any charger over those power levels will be throttled back to meet the phone's requirements. You will not charge faster than the phone is capable of.

Android Police is reporting that Google limits Pixel 3 wireless charging rate to standard 5W for third-party chargers. So even with a fast charger, Google will limit you to 5w, and yet you will still see "charging rapidly" on any wireless charher.

That's some bull sh*t
Thank goodness I saw this before buying a wireless charger. Google is turning into Apple

Wow. That is some shady s**t right there. I already have a couple of fast wireless chargers from my Samsung device and recently bought one for my car on Amazon. Glad I saw this before bashing it in my reviews.
