Let's Accessorize Your S7 / S7 Edge

[S750WP]

Still 1hr 55mins leh. Vs 1hr 30mins.

To me its good enough already not too far away from wired with Gen 2 compare with Gen 1.

Wireless charging is always slower than normal cable charging. Magnetic field charging has a lot of energy heat loss.

So in reality it charges slower.

Here is more reviews.

http://www.androidauthority.com/best-wireless-chargers-compared-635559/

It takes a solid 2hrs 41mins to full charge for the Samsung wireless charger. Hot, slow, and redundant.

It's charging at a mere 6.5w region max. Where our adaptive fast charge through cable is 15w effective. Which is only 1hr 20mins to charge full.

sorry bro, the link u show is the normal wireless charger that samsung sold at first. they came up with fast charging wireless pad for the 2nd gen and time wise to charge up s6 is almost on par with wired fast charging.

only getting ultra hybrid. crystal shell is not for poor man like me D: 1.5x the price.

I would spend abit more for better protection case, as I used my phone for 2 years until I can recontract with no extra cost. The S7 I am only paying $198 after trade in my Z2 for $100 with M1 regular plan.

Ok yeah i read further and there is a gen2 wireless charger. So, sorry for that.

However my concerns are this, it may take 1hr 30mins for fast charge. And 1hr 55min for qi charging.

But many still dont get the fact that at what point that the phone can charge at its fastest peak.

Qualcomm QC2.0 or Samsung adaptive charging achieves 85% battery charging in an hour time.

Where is Qi charging at 1hr? 63% based on the charging time.

Now the thing is that, you can get away with 85% battery within the day. But definitely not 63%.

So my meaning is that, if you really wanna fast charge, and in a rush to somewhere, the Qi charging wont do well.

aiyo... what's the fuzz abt the wireless charging? as long as no need to plug in plug out the micro usb cable and wear out the connector, everyone would be most satistfied. and everyone sure already know (i think) wireless charging is still slower then wired charging, but as long as convenient can liao. anyway, anyone knows if the Gen2 fast wireless charger is available?

 

[S750WP]

Z2 with 3200mah I can survive a day still wirh 39% batt left. S7 with fast charge Its definitely more than enough juice to complete my day even with heavy usage and I need to charge it.

Well said, I had bad experience whereby the micro USB port got loose and cannot charge.

The Gen 2 is available at Qoo10 for 39.90.

Wireless charging is a luxury lifestyle thing la. no need to stab the phone with cables. Put, take up, use, answer call and put back. If desperate for time and batt, wire will always win.
It's good to have

Then again, it's still faster charging then wired ifruit =p so why not?

On the go I still have my powerbank and wire with me. Wireless charging used at home.

Your powerbank better support adaptive fast charge, if not the usual 5V/2A technology is kinda slow.. thats my personal opinion..

I put one fast charge wireless charging plate at my bed side for charging and streaming spotify, perfect companion to emo at home..

yea i get your point. the wireless charger will be useful to me since im always charging my phone. ikr. the batter won't last long. hah. the issue is that sometimes u forget that your phone is connected to a wired cord. im quite rough with stuffs and thus in the long term run the wire is easily spoilt. im using a cable with extra protection on the external layer so its better now. but not sure how long this will last.

ok la i admit, the wireless charger also quite cool therefore not as hesitant on getting one. to each his own

if im not wrong about this, samsung gen 1 and gen 2 wireless charger is the same samsung charging pad. just that 2nd gen is the one with fast charge capabilities. can get from qoo10 or from taobao. refer to below post on the taobao link. can't give any comments on it since i dun have it on my hands yet. but the one in qoo 10 is ard $45 and thats around 40-50% lesser den from retail stores.

yea just another accessory to compliment whatever you have on hand. definitely wired charging is still faster. wireless charging just add another option to your daily life.

i mean there's powerbank that supports fast charge? must be pretty ex if there's one out there in the market. :X what brand ah bro? i support ur idea, but charging and using spotify at the same time..i think battery will die much faster sia. even the so called cooling system also can't help much :X

Ok for Spigen case this is how it is.

Thin Fit series is the thinnest case out there that provide minimal protection*, usually with exposed sides or buttons. This is good for people whom do not want bulky case, and it is made of hard plastic with matte rubbery surface.

Liquid Crystal case is 2nd in line for thinnest case but not hard plastic, it is made of soft TPU rubber. Which is flexible and bendable. It covers all the area of the phone, but it is of bare minimum or close to 0 protection when it drops. Cause it is so soft, usually the impact from a drop usually will still leave a dent on the phone.

Rugged armor is the 3rd in line for thickness. Unlike like Liquid Crystal, it is matte black and made of much thicker TPU rubber. And has their air cushion at the 4 corners of the case. This offers, good protection all round, yet not that thick and bulky.

Ultra Hybrid is a different approach than the above classic 3 case. Ultra Hybrid balance the need of aesthetics yet maintain good protection without sacrificing by adding more bulk. Ultra hybrid has a transparent hard plastic back and the sides are all thick TPU rubber. It has air cushion at all corners to absorb the impact.

Neo Hybrid is the same as Ultra Hybrid, but instead of TPU rubber for the sides, it uses metal instead. This is to give the "more premium" feel of the metal sides. Also it is made of 2 different pieces, metal rims, and full TPU rubber back cover and sides. But many including my friends have complained about it, as it felt slippery from hand, and not really good to use.

Neo Hybrid Crystal no difference from Neo Hybrid, but instead of plastic and metal in 2 different piece like Neo Hybrid has to offer, Neo Hybrid Crystal offers plastic back, and TPU rubber sides.

Next in line is the complete armor series with no compromise in protection. But however it is very bulky imho. Starting from the slimmest armor series.

Sim Armor is the thinnest 2 piece protection, the body 1st layer is covered with TPU rubber, while the add on piece is a hard plastic cover for the back.

The second thickest will be Slim armor CS, this is thicker because instead of a kickstand like how the Slim Armor has, the Slim armor CS is for Card slots.

And last of all the mother of all armor case, the Tough Armor. This case is not much thicker than the Slim Armor, its only the side rims are thicker than the rest. But this comes in a whole single piece rather than 2 pieces. But some claimed that it is so tough that some said, they drop their phone countless of time, and this case never failed them.

Don't know how true. But SingTel has a tempered glass for s7 edge. Has anybody been to the it show yet?

Didn't see this here so I'll just link it up. Basically it's a spigen ultra hybrid with flap covers for the charging and 3.5mm port.

What to select?

Can someone advice ASAP on the best item to get from Samsung for the $ 100.00 voucher?

I understand that all the accessories are many times more expensive in the showrooms but like everyone else, I don’t have any other option since the voucher is valid only in the same showroom and only till 3:00 pm on same day!
I was planning to get the SD card (EVO plus) although I found the price at the showroom is 30% more than the same item in very good, competitive shops like Bizgram SIM Lim Square.
