Quickcharge 3 car charger recommendations?

I need a buy a new car charger anyway so I want to get the most capable one for the HTC 10. I suspect that would include the quickcharge 3.0 spec and a USB-C port?
Will there be any benefit to QC3 over USB-C compared to QC2 and a USB-A to USB-C cable?
I've looked on Amazon but I don't see anything that appears to fit the bill. Are there any other phones out now that have both QC3 and USB-C that we can gain experience from? I know the Nexus 5x and 6p has USB-C, but they don't have QC3, right?

Look for Tronsmart chargers (QuickCharge3.0) over aliexpress, might take a few weeks to deliver but the product is nice and cheap.
Even better if available over ebay/amazon.

I've just ordered this one from Amazon in readiness.

Plus 3 of these USB cables.

Anker PowerDrive+ 1 looks quite good.

Just be sure to get the USB-C cables that are really up to the spec, or you could burn up your new phone. See here for tested products:

Thanks guys, really nice choices here. I'm looking for a car charger myself.

I looked at that one but it appears to only have USB-A connections. I'm under the impression that USB-C to USB-C will give better charging results?

This one on Amazon seems to fit your suggestion. $20 on Amazon Prime seems like a decent deal.
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tronsmart-Quick-Charge-Technology/dp/B018K7LHBU
EDIT: In fact, it's an even better deal at $11 with discount code "USBCCHAR". I just ordered one.

I don't think you'll notice much difference.
HTC deliveres also an USB A to C cable with the 10.
There is a maximum of charging speed and I think you can get that also with an USB A to C.

That would be the cheapest thing that you can get delivered quickly; Aukey is another economical option that you can check.
Aliexpress ones sell for cheaper usually (or even half the cost during sale) but those take alot of time to deliver (it being shipped from China via standard international shipping).

I found this useful https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...JsQaXK1dl8I91V4-eP_sfNVNzbA/htmlview?sle=true

I would choose Anker on Amazon if I want to buy a QC 3.0.

I love tronsmart products because it has lots of models:http://www.tronsmart.com/products/quick-charge-3-0-car-chargers From 1 port to 3 ports, USB A port to Type-C port.

Easiest way would be to take a look at the Qualcomm QC certified list. It's a great starting point.
Also the list has direct links to product pages which is certainly a nice touch.
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
Because if it's certified "by Qualcomm" (UL really), I'd say it's up to snuff..
Of course the list isn't updated instantly but rather monthly, so when new devices and accessories (or power controllers) roll out, and they pass the certification process, they'll be added there eventually.

I follow
https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts
for his tested products and I think everyone will be fine.
Qualcomm has a list as well
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/q...ge-device-list

I applied to review a free Choetech QC 3.0 car charger, hope they can contact me soon.
Here is the thread link to apply: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/accessories/preview-chloetech-quick-charge-3-0-t3369060

I'd be careful with these..
"Dodocool" doesn't have any accessories listed in Qualcomm's certified accessories list. (PDF)
No QC3.0 accessory OR QC2.0 accessory.
Their products do seem OK but I'm personally not gonna trust any manufacturer for example being my QC3.0 charger unless they have something on that list, at least some product that shows they have actually made something that complied with Qualcomm's standard, especially since that list isn't updated daily rather monthly.
P.S. That's a wall charger and this thread is about car chargers and besides, the 10 ships with a QC3.0 wall charger.
Edit: Now I actually looked at the Dodocool QC3.0 wall charger reviews, this one has pictures and NO UL LOGO hence it's not UL listed hence it's not certified.
I would avoid it. Might be perfectly fine and fully compliant OR it could kill your dog and burn your house down etcetera.

Do you trust 3rd party chargers?

This is my first foray into Android and I love the Pixel 2. It's great and I want to make sure I treat it well. Do you trust 3rd party wall chargers or do you think there is a risk they are bootleg and could damage the phone? I got one off Amazon and it seems to be ok so far, but who knows - (as a new user I can't post a link to the Amazon listing apparently). It's called "Google Quick Fast Charger Gray- Adapter with TYPE C to C Wire for Pixel/XL/C" and came in a discreet package not from Google.
Thanks

Do you know what brand it is? While Amazon is a more reputable dealer than searching on e-Bay...they too are not immune to junk...chargers that don't offer protection...or could result in electrocution. Did you look at the buyer rating to see that they were verified purchases and not fake reviews? What is the wattage and what version of Quickcharge does it support...ideally you want Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0 to maximize charge speed on this phone. I try to at least stick with more reputable brands...I bought an Anker charger from Amazon that supports both QuickCharge 3.0 and has spots for my wife's iPhone. No issues and quick charging.

IIRC,Google Pixels support USB Power Delivery standard, not Qualcomm Quick Charge. The charger that comes with the phone is a PD charger and you can tell this by the fact that it uses a type c connection at the charger and at the phone. It's supposed to be a safer, more universal standard for fast charging USB c devices.

PuffDaddy_d is correct...disregard my QC3 recommendation...although I do get pretty fast charging with it using a quality Type-A to Type-C cable (presumably because it is 18W). For optimum charging, recommendation for Pixel and Pixel 2 (including standard and XL) is USB-C PD standard. Disregard my charger recommendation although I would till recommend sticking to reviewing your brand...if the one you bought is the one by Google...then you're fine.

I don't think you can get fast charging on a Pixel phone with any USB A charger. I saw just Charging or Charging Slowly at the bottom of the screen on mine with USB A. I was super frustrated shopping on Amazon for chargers because there's just so many fake ones and I couldn't find a Benson list for good chargers. He had some charger criticisms on his Google+ page, but didn't make an Amazon list and searching on G+ makes my head hurt. I went with Monoprice specifically because they're certified; item 24424 for my car charger ($10) and I'm very happy with it. On the office charger, I haven't needed one, battery life has been good enough to not worry, but Monoprice has those at $17, item 24426 or 21674. None of the Monoprice chargers are bundled with a cable, so expect to add $5+ for one. My old Motorola Turbo QC2 wall charger and the iOrange QC3 car charger do no good for the Pixel 2 so I gave them to my dad. I know it probably looks like I'm shilling for Monoprice, but there's so much trash out there. Amazon really sucks at this. Walmart and Staples just plain don't have a real USB C cable in their stores, though Walmart does have a real Samsung USB A-C cable for the same price you'd pay for a two pack from Anker or Cable Matters on Amazon, and I think that's pretty OK for retail. The Nintendo stuff seems OK if you're in a pinch. Gamestop has a Hori car charger (15W, not Power Delivery, cable attached) for $20 and the Nintendo branded wall charger for $30 (39W, has Power Delivery, cable attached). There aren't always cell phone stores around when you're jammed up.

Authentic Pixel chargers on Amazon for $22

Amazon seems to have genuine Pixel 2 chargers on sale for $22. at the moment.
-- I dont have 10 posts yet so can't share the link, but they have them, ordered it yesterday--
(shipped and sold by Amazon is why I believe this one is genuine)
Picked up a black and white Pixel 2 XL from Craigslist last week after my S8 turned 1. I was itching for something different
It came in one of those flat boxes with just the G on the front of the box and no accessories. Thus wanting a fast charger. I spent a little time looking and didn't come across a kit that seemed reliable for my new stormtrooper for less than the genuine thing from Google for $37 or so with tax.
Will update the thread if it's not legit when received later this week.
Wanted to share the find.

What is the link?

I just joined and until I have 10 posts I'm not allowed to post the link.
Or I would have...the site restricted me when I tried.

I think this is the Google charger they're referring to.
https://www.amazon.com/Google-Wall-Charger-Pixel-XL/dp/B077NNS9PB

Yes.
And I received it. Appears to be in authentic packaging and can confirm it fast charges.

Any Power Delivery rated charger should work. I have a couple Aukey chargers that have a PD USB-C port as well as a QC 3.0 USB-A port, since my girlfriend has a Galaxy S7.

Chargers

Will after market chargers charge the Pixel as fast as the charger that came with the phone?

Those supporting Power Delivery will, but it's very tricky: there are lots of charges on the market which are advertised as PD compliant, but have buggy implementations. Your best bet is to buy one from this list, although it's not being updated anymore:

Thank you, I might just get another one from Google. I would like to get one for work so I am not using the same one all the time.

Yup the google charger is the best one. I notice the only other charger that charges my phone fast is the one that came with my DJI spark, I will have to test this with ampere tho.

SuperVOOC car charger

Ordered and received a couple of days ago.
So far so good.
OPPO SuperVOOC Car Charger.
Maximum 10V 5A 50W stable output to charge your phones and support 5V2A Quick Charge.
Multiple over-current, over-voltage protection.
The only strange issue is there was no cable included so I had to order one also.

Yes I know. Tried my last oneplus charger displays "superVOOC", but that's not SuperVOOC 2.0! It has a huge difference in charging speed.

Hey mate, i'm looking at getting this too. Did you have to buy the official USB C cable for it to work? I can't work out what the requirements are for the cable in order to get SuperVOOC 2.0 speeds. Just curious as i bought a standard USB C cable (one in the box is too short IMO) and although I had it plugged into the SV2.0 charger I couldn't get it to charge at SV2.0 speeds

The cable has to be the official one, because it's the only one that has [email protected] Most other cables have 5A. I also looked in China but couldn't find any that has these specs, yet.

I have also bought this charger and it is Super Vooc charger, meaning it is not 2.0 version, I use it with original cable, but the speed difference is not huge, it still charges fast enough.

hello
have a nice day

I have some advice for UK residents.
The SuperVOOX car charger its only 7.99 pounds in the OPPO official website, but it seems to be permanently out of stock.
Now, accidentally I found they are selling a bundle of the supervooc car charger + supervooc cable for 18 pounds, I think it´s a great deal so I bought it last weekend and it should arrive soon, heres the link:
https://oppomobiles.co.uk/car-kit.html
The funny thing with this is that the bundle is not listed in the web in the accessories or in any other part, you can only find it if you search for something related like "car" or "supervooc"
I also chatted with them asking about the car charger being out of stock and they didnt tell me about this bundle...

Great find. I’ve just bought a OnePlus 8 Pro wich supports WarpCharge 30T. This is the same as VOOC 4.0 I believe and they are both 5v @ 6A = 30W. Would this charger and cable charge my 8 Pro at 30W? Many thanks in advance.

not sure if it will be any good but the reviews of the product seem to indicate that it is in fact the real deal, i personally need the super fast charging as i drive since it takes me 30 minutes to get to work super fast charging would be ideal.
anyway i have decided to buy an inverter for the car to use the one that came with the phone for now, but it would be nice to have a proper car charger without all the extra mess them wires are going to be making.

USB type-C cables don't have to be OEM but they do have to be the right standard (& the standards get added to frequently so get an up-to-date cable), Qualcom PD/QC is much more common than Mediatek VOOC & they work in completely different ways.
VOOC pulses the power wires to communicate between charger/cable/phone (all 3 have chips) whereas PD/QC communicates via the data wires.
The result of this communication is different too, VOOC leaves the line at 5V & just changes the current [Edit]it seems SuperVOOC can also select 10V[/Edit] but PD/QC selects between various Voltage/current combinations & can get up to 20V.
If communication fails completely the charger defaults to 5V & max 2.1A with the phone deciding how much current to draw.
The previous micro-USB fast-charge standard is different again, it uses a plain cable & just communicates between phone & charger to select 2.4A, 3.1A or 4.2A vs the default max 2.1A

So, any feedback or review?

yes apologies i completely forgot to let people know, so basically the item works well and the phone tells me it is charging at super vooc 2.0 speeds, however I've used the app ampere and its definitely not as fast as the wall plug version but is certainly fast enough, also I'm not using the stock cable that came with the phone as that didn't seem to work very well with the charger so instead I'm using another one of my cables which is a volutz cable, i wasn't actually aware it would work since i bought it for another phone but seems to work really well, so all in all i would highly recommend the charger as it seems to be the best option for on the go and is certainly cheap enough.
