Does this charger actually charge the phone faster then regular chargers?

I use this charger in my car when my phone is low after a long day at work. It works great. I don't know if it chargers faster than the outlet charger.

Yes it does. It works just as good as the wall charger if not a little faster.

It's the fastest charger I have ever seen, it even works for my husband's Note 3:)

No. I takes two times as long to charge your phone with this charger. Mine stopped working all together after 2 weeks. Waste of money.

I haven't found that it does, although I don't tend to use the charger to also charge the phone at the same time, as one can. Instead, I simply use the charger to charge an extra battery while I'm using the phone, and carry it around with me. If I have a particularly heavy day, I'll just swap out the battery from the phone and substitute the fully charged battery from the charger, then when I get home, use the charger to recharge the depleted battery.

Good observation. It definitely still works, it just probably won't be as fast as you're used to with a normal phone charger

No, and this charger did absolutely not work well or last long. The picture is deceiving as the charger you get looks nothing like it!

It definitely doesn't. Apparently the best thing that happened to me was to lose the original charger and buy this one! The only quirk about it, though, is the fact that sometimes if you plug it up to a power strip with other things plugged into the power strip, the green light on it will start flashing. It means it's not getting enough wattage, so just plug it up to the wall and you're good! it's an amazing charger, and I use it to quick charge my phone too! Hope this helps!

Even if it is slow, it should charge slow then. Can't guarantee anything, or the health of the phone, but slower is less harmful than faster.

It does charge more slowly than a standard wired charger. I have not tested to see to what degree but I find the convenience of simply laying the phone on the pad instead of wearing out cables to be an excellent trade-off.

Thats the fastest way. You can charge it before you put it on your phone or while its on your phone but I think its faster to charge it before I put it on my phone that way my phone can be charging too

I have the galaxy S4 and it charges really fast with a 2A charger, fast with a 1.5A charger and realllly slow with a 1A charger. The charger actually shipped with the S4 is 2A.

It charges at least as fast as plugging the phone into a 1000mA wall charger. I haven't found the charge times to be slow at all...in fact, surprisingly quick. I bought two brand X batteries and found this particular mfg/model to be superior all around. So much so, that I just bought a second.

Yes, it seems to charge pretty fast. However, like I mentioned in the review it also seemed to drain faster if I used this charger.

Actually worked better then my normal charger. My phone seems to get a better charge when I use this unit AND still play music then if I simply charge. Odd I know but I accept it. I have galaxy s5.

Yes but bit slower. It's only a shared 3.1A device, 15W, so the max. load will be cut in half -> slower charging. Not terrible however, because there are much worse chargers with fake 2.0A giving only 0.7 per port. I recommend a strong parallel charger with 24+W for those who have hungry devices (iPad, Galaxy Note, all tablets and phablets..).

I bought this recently and can confirm that it charges both the iPhone and the Android phone we tested with it. It seemed like it wasn't that fast of a charge, but I've always thought that about car chargers as well.
