This is a short review of a car charger from Tattu.
I've been looking for a new Quick Charge 3.0 compatible chargers since I do a lot of driving and while my Samsung S8 Active has the stock 4,000 mAh battery, I always like to keep it plugged in for emergencies. Quick Charge becomes a pretty much must and I've been having issues with my old charger so came across this product. It looked like any other charger out there but do like the dual port design but also the way the USB slot is angled so I find the USB-C cable to be in not in the way or have that unnecessary bend with most chargers. The head sticks out just enough but not too shallow so it's a perfect fit for my Subaru.

I did test and verify that this is Quick Charge 3.0 as in the past, I've found so called Quick Charge that charged as slow as a regular 1.0A charger. My S8 Active also recognized the quick charging capability and charged just as fast as the wall charger I have at home. I'll probably get another one as I have multiple devices in my vehicle and make it streamlined with a cigarette adapter.
The fit is great by the way, it doesn't wiggle or push out like the cheaper sockets that have a weak springs on the side. It's rock solid! Highly recommended product!

I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
The product was sent to me at a discounted price in exchange of a review, and this review is based on my own unbiased opinion.
So I needed a charger to use while travelling with many USB ports, and I found this charger from iClever that really seem's to be great.
The charger came in a plain box without much information, and inside of the box there was a manual, some information regarding their review program, a power cord and the charger itself. At first, I was surprised by how small this charger was and I really though it would perform badly, but I was wrong - it's the best charger I've ever owned.
So first of all, there's 6 different USB ports that can output up to 2,4amps - which means they're ideal for both phones and tablets. The charger have a feature similar to Ankers chargers, and that is a smart IC that monitors the charging and limits the output current for different devices.
So after using my XTAR power meter, I was able to get about 1,5 amps out while charging my phone - and that rate didn't decrease either after plugging in more devices. The voltage stays stable around 5v, and there's no dips down to 4volts.
So I've got no complaints really about this charger, and I really like this charger.

I've got my hands on a choetech quick charge 3.0 wall charger. I've been testing it for a short while with my note 5. I like it so far as it makes a good replacement for by stock Samsung charging unit.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Q5WT6W/
The unit itself is very slim and easy on the pocket by having a straight design. The one thing I hate on wall units is when the power pins are facing to the side of the wall charger as it makes it hard to carry in the pocket.
Here are some pictures of it:

Pretty sweet right? I'm looking forward to getting a s7 since it should more than likely come with q.c 3.0.
The info of this charger are the following:
CHOE Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Wall Charger Designed with Lasted Technology
Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0: The latest, fastest and most efficient USB charging technology in the world. Up to 4X faster than standard chargers, able to charge compatible devices to 80% in just 35 minutes.
I'm very happy with this charger and so far I enjoy it. The products by choetech are my recent favorite. I've found their products to be at anker or even better than. The USB cables in their products last me while ankers tend to stop working a lot. Here is a picture of the included USB cable.
If you've got any questions regarding the product please do ask below!
I have a quick charger in my car for my S6 Edge (quick charge 2.0 i believe). How will this perform on the S8?
And what car chargers are available for the S8?
Thanks

That's all the s8 will support so you're fine.
That will fit for the s8, and also it could find on Amazon.
Trianium Quick Charge 3.0
Got the Trianium 36W Dual USB Smart Port Qualcomm QC 3.0 for Samsung Galaxy S8 off of Amazon. Quick Charge 3.0.... $15.99

Totally random, but I have this EXACT charger OP! Been considering if I need another car charger, but good to know that charger will work with the S8. Honestly, I didn't think that it wouldn't work. You just need a USB-C cable, which one comes with the phone itself, or you can use one of you existing cables with the microUSB to USB-C adapters.
Hello again! So you might know by now I am always in the market for power supplies that will trigger fast charge on a Nexus 6P, Google Pixel or Pixel 2 device! Well I found this cigarette lighter adaptor from Bestek that supplies more than 2.4Amp to the USB port plus has 2 additional cigarette lighter female sockets for more connections!
There are some better pictures on ebay than I could possibly take, but found it for a much lower price on Amazon if you are interested in snagging one of these.
I just upgraded to a Pixel 2XL and was very interested in how well it can charge my new device. I was unaware that the Pixel 2XL actually kicks into charge overdrive when you turn off the screen. So it took a while to capture this image showing it supplying 2.7 Amps!

Add to this, the capability of supplying almost 5 Amps total, and being able to switch each side off and on independently! You have a 12V cigarette lighter socket and USB port per side! Plus you have a display telling you how much current is being used! You can't beat this for the price!
