Best Chargers for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7

(Last Updated On: April 22, 2018)

Every smartphone that Samsung releases is one that is going be a pretty big hit. As Samsung is known for innovating on their new products every time. That said, perhaps the two biggest smartphones that have left the largest impact on Samsung smartphones is Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7 smartphones. The Galaxy S6 was a game changer when it hit the market and that’s because it basically bought their smartphones up to speed and basically made it so that they could compete with Apple’s iPhones.

The build quality of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 were changed to be made of glass, the side railing was steel and the back of the smartphones also had glass. In addition to the better build quality, these smartphones also made of an Edge variety. With there being a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and a Galaxy S7 Edge, that each featured a screen that would literally eliminate the bezels and extend all the way to the edges of the screen.

Perhaps one of the most notable upgrades, or possibly not so notable if you don’t know about it would be the charging of the S6 and S7. They feature more battery power, with the Galaxy S6 using a 2,550mAh battery and the Galaxy S7 has a 3,000mAh battery capacity. Both have larger batteries and to add to that, they’re both the first Samsung smartphones that are compatible with Quick Charge technology.

Quick Charge is fast charging tech that’s able to charge compatible smartphones at a faster-charging speed, which results in a faster full recharge for a smartphone. The Galaxy S6 and S7 are compatible with Quick Charge 2.0. We thought it would be a good idea to create a guide for the best chargers for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7. This way, the chargers that you purchase are ones that are able to charge either of the smartphones at their max charging speed.
