    Never heard of that brand, but looks fine and the official charger probably isn't faster. Just make sure the W isn't lower than the original one, if that's the case it will be slower, but that's not the case here.
     
    I use an Anker charger on my old phone because the original charger died. It's actually slightly faster, even though both were 18w.

    Doesn’t really matter if you get the official one or not as long as the wattage is the same. Personally like Apples 20W charger because for the UK version the prongs fold into the plug making it great for travelling

    Can we get a video on gas station phone chargers.
     
    These things can literally turn your phone into a bomb.
     
    There's a reason that your phone reconends u u use the in box phone charger, it's because they can't guarantee your phones saftey.
     
    Think the nintindo switch it has a power requirement just below the standard, and a bad charger could brick it in an instant, or after it's unplugged.
     
    Also fast chargers have to be certified for that voltage or the Seema thing could happen.
     
    Plus crappy unbranded phone chargers don't have quality control, so a bad charger could be 1/1000 or more.
     
    Samsungs chargers are probably less that 1/1,000,000
     
    And there $8 on Amazon or $12 for 2 just make sure the seller is Samsung or it could be a clone

    I get that it's just sometimes the sites just are non functionial, but sometimes they are, the frustrating part is the site that is perfectly useible one day might send u into endless spiraling redirects the next.

    They don't modify the motherboards as companies will build them to spec for extreme LN2 and liquid helium style overclocking. I know he only uses dark rock boards now so there is that

    Kernel Customization
     
    How do I overclock my phone?
    - So here's a real common question I get asked. Simply put phones don't have a BIOS where you change the clock multiplier and the voltage.
     rather, here is where you are going to want a custom kernel. Why? Because these kernels store the frequency table for the CPU to use as well as their voltage steps for each frequency step respectively. Some kernel will come with their on overclock frequencies to use (most popular known one being ElementalX for HTC and Nexus devices). Using a kernel tweaking app (highly recommended: Kernel adiutor) you can set them as your max frequency to "overclock" your phone. However, keep in mind that not all chips are the same, just as CPUs are binned, so are SoC's, and your chip my be good and can handle less voltage, or require to be overvolted just to maintain those higher clocks otherwise you may occur random reboots. If this occurs, I'd recommend you just stick with manufacture specified clock speeds. 
    Also sidenote: since kernels store the frequency table and voltage, some kernels try and add intermediary steps for frequencies. In my experience, this just leads to a less responsive device, I'd recommend steering clear of these kernels (IE AK kernel for the OnePlus One)
     
    What is undervolting?
    For each frequency, a certain amount of millivolts are specified to go to the CPU to meet that demanded clockspeed. Depending on how well binned your SoC is, you can undervolt globally to reduce the overall amount of voltage going to your device.
    So what are the benefits?
    - Most importantly, a cooler device, meaning less thermal throttling meaning better performance
    - Less battery consumption, this may be minimal to drastic based on how well you chip can be undervolted
    The cons?
    - causes instability if you undervolt too much
     
    The best way to check if a undervolt is stable is by going by increments of -5 or -10 mV, then testing using AnTuTu run and if it makes it through, it's most likely stable. The true test is obviously just using it throughout the day. Also another important note is that no matter what kernel or ROMyou are using, your undervolt will always be the same, you won't get gains from flashing a custom kernel or ROM in this respect, it's all hardware.
