I recently got a new S4. My previous phone was a Galaxy Nexus. The clerk at the Verizon store told me I shouldn't use my old Galaxy Nexus chargers, for 2 reasons. 1 seems like BS, the other probably legit. The clerk said I should buy new chargers (usb, car) because:
1. My old chargers are rated lower and would take longer to charge my new phone. While I see that would be true, I just charge overnight so saving a few minutes doesn't matter.
2. My old chargers were 'bad' and 'shouldn't be plugged into my new phone'. I don't buy this and when I further inquired about exactly how it was bad to do so, I was given an evasive answer.
So if I'm right about my hunches, I don't need new chargers at all and can use them just fine. Does this check out?
