Galaxy S7 Fast Wireless Charging: What You Need to Know

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are still two of the most popular smartphones available. It offers many features such as water resistance, micro SD cards or all-day battery life. One of these features is called Fast Wireless Charging. That said, here’s what owners need to know about it.

Fast Wireless Charging is something many users love after learning how it works and benefits. This feature is not as slow and annoying as it used to be. Therefore, we advise owners to keep reading for more information.

While the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge don’t have a removable battery like some older Samsung smartphones, they do have very large batteries inside. We also have fast charging and fast wireless charging. All of these make up for this missing material. This phone lasts so long that there’s really no need for a removable battery. Especially with fast charging. Lets start.

Wireless charging isn’t a new technology, but Samsung does things a little differently than most. There are two different types of wireless charging. It will not work if you buy the wrong charging pad or if your new car does not support the correct type. Like Ford and Chevy, they have Qi Wireless Charging and PMA Wireless Charging Standards. With the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Note 5, S6 Edge and Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Samsung has implemented both types.

So both wireless charging versions work with your phone. Take the guesswork out of this handy feature.

How does it work

Essentially, users buy a pad and leave their phone on it instead of plugging it in. In a sense it’s wireless because you can take it and go and don’t worry about wires, but the pad plugs in with a typical micro-USB. cable.

Drop it on the wireless charging pad and it charges, pick it up and go and you have a full battery. Older Wireless charging pads had 10w output and were not very fast. It takes about 3-4 hours to charge a phone. A regular wired charger (like the one on the S7) will fully charge your device to 100% in less than 90 minutes. Basically almost twice as fast.

The Galaxy S7, however, has “Fast” Wireless Charging. This new method charges at almost the same speed as a wired connection, making it extremely useful indeed.

Samsung Fast Wireless Charger

Fast Wireless Charging is now available in a wide range of accessories. It has increased the speed by 1.4 times and now Qi Wireless charging pads are more ideal and actually worth using.

Owners won’t have to choose between fast charging their smartphones with the out-of-the-box wired charger or easy wireless charging at low speeds. Here’s our quick hands-on video showing the Note 5 and the Fast Wireless Charger in action. This same charger and setup is the same on Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

As you can see above, it is extremely easy. All you have to do is go up and leave the Galaxy on the charger and that’s it. Fast Wireless charging starts and starts charging the smartphone wirelessly. Buyers will get a faster charge using the included wall charger, but this is a nice addition that will make wireless charging really useful.

Samsung offers several different wireless chargers and the most popular option retail for $59.99 but often on sale. This charges any Qi-enabled device and is backwards compatible with capable phones like the Galaxy S6, Nexus 6 and many other older devices.

This isn’t a huge leap forward or a revolutionary new feature by any means, but it’s one more way for Samsung to push the boundaries. Having a fast wireless charger on my nightstand next to my bed is definitely more appealing now that it’s fast enough to come in handy. This feature will also be included in the Galaxy S8 for those who will eventually upgrade. While you’re here, take a look at other fast chargers below.
