The included 30w charger is fast but (at least mine) has coil noise.
As far as I understand it's a usb-pd charger...
Any recommendations for other chargers?
maybe also multi-port ones?

Ordered a QI charger off Amazon (the same Lerway Chinese brand one everyone seems to get) and it's charging incredibly slow. Not sure if the app I'm using to record the charge rate is incorrect or I'm not reading it correctly but it says it's charging at only +200mA max sometimes as slow as <50mA.
Anyone else experience this?

What kind of power source you use to power the charger and what kind of cable do you use?
If you connect the charger to computer USB port it will not provide enough power for the charger. Same with cheap cables, like the ones mostly included with the generic QI chargers. You need a premium USB cable.
Also if you have a thick case on your phone it will diminish the charging current received by a coil in your phone.
Firstly check how much power and what current your charger gets, so instead of plugging the QI charger, plug your phone and check what amperage you get (I use Current Widget). If it's less then 1600mA (maximum amperage that N5 will allow from direct charging through cable) your charger is underpowered and you need to change socket charger to 2A one. If you're using 2A socket charger and still get under 1600mA then your micro USB cable isn't good enough.
Properly and fully powered Qi charger should charge your bare phone (without a case) at about 700-800mA.

Thanks for the info I thought I was going crazy.
No case so that isn't an issue.
I have the phone connected direct to a 3A charger currently and am only getting 995mA charge rate with the screen on and it looks like full 1.5A with the screen off. Maybe a defective QI charger?
Nope. Everything is normal. You just need a better cable that will manage to transfer 2A of current.
QI charger needs 2A input to give 1A output on a coil. Giving about 70-80% efficiency rate, your phone would be getting about 700-800mA.
Since your charger gets only about 1A input it gives about 500mA output. Therefore giving that efficiency rate, your phone should be getting about 350-400mA tops. It is possible that your charger has lower efficiency rate (some have about 50-60%), so the values that you're getting are pretty normal unless you use a premium micro usb cable, preferably with thicker, like AWG24 or lower (the lower value the better) power wires.
Might want to try these cables, a lot of people have had great luck with using them on Qi chargers. Don't know which length you would need, they have 3 and 6 foot cables. For the price, I'm ordering 6 6ft cables.

Is there any? I have samsung 2A charger, should I buy the Sony UCH10?

I think Sony's QC2.0 charger is the UCH20, isn't it?
If the UCH10 is not QC2.0, not any real point to it. You really want a QC2.0 charger (plenty of good third-party ones on Amazon...)
If the Samsung 2A charger is anything like my old N8013 tablet charger (which increases voltage to 5.3v when 2A is being drawn to offset cable losses), I'd stick with it unless you get a QC2.0 charger.
UCH10 is Sony's QC certified charger.
UCH20 is the successor of EP880 (the one that was bundled with all previous Z series).
It is not QC certified but charges slightly quicker that its predecessor(even though it's output is listed as the same).
WIth that being said, there has been reports that battery lasts longer when charging with the EP880. I have yet to test that and in would be an interesting feat
I have a 45w usb-c travel charger for my laptop. While traveling, can I safely use this to charge my 5t?
I have poked around a bit and have not been able to get a firm answer from they. Can I do this?
You will definitely be able to charge it but it probably will be limited to 10/12 W. So no fast charging but at least charging
Check your charger to see the output spec. On my Dell 30W charger, it says 20V/12V/5V~1.5A/2A/2A. So it can be used to charge 5V devices, but not as fast as dash on 1+5t.
My charger has similar values. I tried it out and it worked! Thanks for the input!
Almost no point. Anyways most devices choose how much current they draw from a power source. just be wary that high voltage are dangerous (most of phones have circuit protection)
I bought from Aliexpress about 15 charging cables for me and 2 of my friends ... all of us have S8+ phones
The cable's description shows 5V 5A cables for Huawei Mate 9 10 P10.
The issue is these cables are not FAST charging our phones as needed.
Are there any requirements for the fast charging cable other than the current rating?
My understanding is the Adaptive Fast Charging uses 9V 2A (18w) while the cables are rated 5V 5A (25w) which means the cable bought should be superior to what is needed.
Does anyone have any explanation why these cables are not charging fast charging (Adaptive Fast Charging)?
Yes, they went bad. I buy cables from five below, and usually the type c 6ft works out of box. Then if you drop the cable so many times or do something, it stops fast charging. Now sometimes it doesnt work out of the box. Idk the construction behined the fast charge cable but the oringal samsung and more expensive dont seem to have this issue
Is there any information on car chargers for this device that can utilise QC4 safely?

Not sure about QC4 , but Asus has their own car charger that seems to support at least 18W charging.
https://www.asus.com/Phone-Accessories/ASUS-Car-Charger-with-USB-C/specifications/
Any QC3 or QC4 charger will work. The difference in speed is marginal. Like one percent more every fifteen minutes with QC4 marginal.
Since on the phone side it's QC4, it can also negotiate voltages with USB-PD3 fast chargers, so any 18W or more usb power delivery adapter should charge at a good speed as well.
Don't know which that Asus charger linked would be. The voltage ranges listed could be for either QC or PD. They are identical. Either way, it would work and use fast charging.
Any standard USB-PD charger with support for 9V output will work. No need for Qualcomm's silly licensed names. Belkin makes one that I have used on many phones and tablets with various input voltages.
