Converter needed? I have a Samsung Galaxy S III, would I need to use the included converter plug with this charger in order to charge my phone?

The converter is needed when charging non apple devices in order to enable fast charging. If a charger is iPhone compatible it doesn't adhere to the USB standard and therefore requires this adapter or it won't charge your phone fast enough. It is actually really good of Satechi to include this. Most users will try another Apple compatible device and be disappointed.

I bought this for a trip to Israel. It fit in all the 3 prong wall plug sockets super well, however, I used it only with my cell phone which has a travel converter on the charger. So I believe you need a converter to go into this plug.

Yes. I was just charging the power bank with a USB cord from my wall outlet and then another mini USB connected from the power bank to my Galaxy S3. It worked great. I think the charging time is slower but I did this overnight while I was sleeping so I'm not certain. By the morning both the power bank and my phone were fully charged.

If you mean USB cable, they are standard. Any USB cable will fit into the converter - whether it comes with your phone, camera, ipod, or anything else requiring a USB cable to charge.

It plug in usb 3.0 to charge or you can use 2.0 just like your phone. Don't buy this one its crap charges slow and you can't use OEM charging wire to charge it because for some reason the port is bigger than oem wire. Stay away. I recommend the oem charger from Samsung cost more but at least it charge fast.

Some chargers will have slightly different amperage outputs but this will only result in different charging times. Essentially this will work with any device that utilizes a micro-usb connector. I use it to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and it works fine.

Yes, it mine came with 3 piece charger: Base, Worldwide plug, US Converter and USB cable that plugs into the base. This device requires a 2 AMP Samsung Charger if you want to buy an extra later on. Be careful as this type of device has the propriety USB Port and wants a genuine Samsung charger.

No converter needed on iPhone3 and iPhone4. The type of connector did not change until iPhone5.

The charger supports 100-240V, and I am not sure if it is compatible with the Galaxy S2. My guess would be it will work, since it works with the Galaxy S3 and S4.

You have to look at a conversion chart to find out or buy a converter to charge it. Hope this helps. I still love mine.

Your Samsung charger SHOULD BE dual voltage 110/220 - but look at uour charger to verify. If it is, these are all you need - just these adapters. You only need a converter if what you want to plug in is NOT dual voltage (strictly 110) you will need a converter. But your Samsung charger will work fine with these adapters - which adapt your US plug to one that will fit in Italian outlets. (Though in an older hotel outlets only had 2 holes - no ground plug.)

The provided charger is rated for 100-240V, with prongs for a US 110 outlet. Since the phone uses a standard USB-mini adapter for charging, like most phones today, you can substitute any adapter you like. (The charger port is NOT a proprietary connector like older Samsung phones used.)

It takes a mini USB as it's power source. What you are asking would be determined not by this charging stand, but rather by the power supply on the mini USB connection. Seems like most of the plug-in power supplies for charging are universal these days. The Samsung power supply that came with the phone is compatible with 100~240 volts and 50-60hz. As long as you have the correct plug adapter for that power supply...you are golden.

The charger is not included, but it comes with an USB cable, that you can plug into any USB plug, like laptop, phone charger.If you have a phone charger with the older style, (more edgy) connector, it will work.

Recently when I was searching for a replacement for my data transfer cable for my portable hard drive, somehow it came up that I could use the charger cable that came with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I hope this is helpful.

Absolutely correct... except it apparently takes either a 2.5mm or 3.5mm to either a mini-usb or other such connector cable that fits your phone. I have yet to determine the correct size pin as it is not part of the description on Amazon or any other site that carries the "charger". I purchased the thing for the light/radio/solar charger so I am not disappointed by not having the cell phone charger capability. Good luck.
