I have a USB-C car charger rated at 5V/3A, but not advertised as a PD charger. It fast charges my S8 somehow (maybe charger unofficially supports PD, I have no clue). Recently, I saw some old articles claiming that there is 5V/3A mode USB-PD support on the S8 and Samsung just didn't advertise it. I have a powerbank I ordered coming to me soon that has QC 3.0, normal USB and 18W USB-PD (presumably 5V/3A and 9V/2A dual mode?). I am wondering whether anyone can confirm that a certified USB-PD output of any kind (charger, power bank, etc...) will indeed properly fast charge a Galaxy S8. If it can, then that means I can fast charge both my S8 and Tab S3 simultaneously from one power bank, and have a third port to spare for other devices.
