Sprint Galaxy S8 USBC Charging

[tedcoggins@gmail.com]

Hello,
I just ordered the S8. I just realized that the wire and charger from my Note 5 isn't compatible with the S8.

Before I started ordering from Amazon, will the Note 5 fast charger work or is it the connection wire that was changed?

Thanks

The S8 comes with a charger and cable. (If you want more than one, wait until you see what you get in the package.) Any charger from a plain old 5 Volt charger to a QualCom QuickCharge 2.0 will work. (3.0 or even 4.0 will work, but the phone will charge at a 2.0 rate. If you get a phone in the future that can handle 3.0 or 4.0, you'll be all set.) You just need a Type C connector on the phone end.

Or you can use the charger that comes with the S8, and buy a pack of microUSB-to-C adapters (I have a set going each way and cables of both types), so you're set for anything.
