"Only" about 40 minutes faster? LOL
I agree. 40 minutes faster is a lot to reduce it by. It's all about perspective.
If it were 40 minutes SLOWER than the Note 3, we would be all up in arms saying:
-"that's terrible!"
-"it takes SO much longer to charge now!"
-"How could Samsung do this!?"
But, cut 40 minutes off of the Note 3 charging time and people say -
-"40 min faster? That's it? That's not much."
-" 40 min faster? I thought it was going to be much faster!"
-" 40 min faster? eh, just another Samsung gimmick. No big deal."
-"Fast charging? Only 40 min faster? Really Samsung?! - eh... Just marketing spin. "
