[Android Central Question]

Does this phone fast charge with an ordinary USB cable plugged into an anti-surge muliblock or have you got to use the charger and cable supplied?

The phone supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 specifications, if your charger supports that standard it will work, or it will work with any QC2.0 charger. As far as cables go, any quality cable should be fine.

And don't connect a phone through any "multi" connection, to the charger or to a computer. If you want anti-surge, plug the charger into a surge protector, then plug the phone directly into the charger.

mine came with a so-called turbocharger cable and usually only takes an hour or so to charge if I have let it get down to about 30%.

It's perhaps worth saying that the G5 (S, Plus) will also charge with a normal charger - just a lot slower.
