So I apologize if this seems like a crazy question, but when you're trying to watch playoff hockey and help your wife research a phone... And I also don't want to make a new thread when an existing one can work as well.
Anyway, the current micro USB chargers we've all come to know and love... Amperage and charging power aside, let's keep it simple here. She has a micro USB charger for her Droid 4. I had it for my Droid 4 and I have it for my Droid Maxx. I have it for my old Kindle. Her tablet. Her old HTC phone a few years ago. Etc. We also have the corresponding micro USB car chargers as well.
Will these chargers be able to work with the Samsung Galaxy S5? OR, is this a brand new type of charger that isn't micro USB, meaning that we have to get new home and car chargers (akin to when Apple switched to its Lightning connection for its newer devices)?
We haven't been to the VZW store to see one in person to check on this, and the VZW site does nothing to help to answer these questions, so this is the quickest way for me to ask and get clarification. VZW has a nice deal where you get a S5 or HTC One M8 (the only ones we'll consider) and get a second free, and my wife and mother in law are due for phones, but if we have to buy all new charging equipment, it may factor into the decision.
