Samsung Galaxy S5 - we know it'll charge on 1A port, does it charge from 2.1A port ? that's the main point here.

I use the 2.1A and combine it with the charging only cable, like this (http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-USB-2-0-High-Speed-Gold-Plated/dp/B009W34X5O/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid;=1402323369&sr;=8-6&ke;ywords=mediabridge+micro+usb) from mediabridge. Works great with my S4 I don't see why it wouldn't be a problem for the S5

Your Samsung Galaxy S5 should charge fine on the 2.1A port, as well as a 1A port. My iPhone 4 charges and works well with either. The voltage is the same. The difference is the amount of power (amperage) available to power devices. Here's a very well written article on USB charging ports for those who want to know more: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/115251-how-usb-charging-works-or-how-to-avoid-blowing-up-your-smartphone

Yes, of course. All of our USB 3.0 cables (IONIC brand cables) are backward compatible with a standard USB 2.0 port. So you can use this cable to connect your Samsung Galaxy S5 with your computer's USB 2.0 port and use it for charging/data transfer. USB 3.0 also adds a superspeed functionality which of course can be availed if the computer has a USB 3.0 port. But to answer your question, yes, this cable is fully compatible with a computer's USB 2.0 port, and we have tested it to work with Samsung Galaxy S5 phone for both charging and data transfer. Thanks for your inquiry! - CrazyOnDigital

I do not have a Galaxy S5 but use this with an iPad Air. This USB charger, hen the USB plug is in the 20 amp slot will charge the Air while in use, albeit, not quickly. When the USB plug is in the 10 amp slot, it will keep whatever battery level you started with. The iPad Ned's the higher amperage to be in use AND charge at the same time.This charger port unit is sleek, we'll made and has a soft blue light for locating at night. I purchased 2 and would do so again. Would recommend!

Karla has the correct answer. Your S5 supports the new micro USB 3.0 standard. However that standard was designed in such a way that you can still plug in the older standard micro USB 2.0. (however you cannot do the reverse, that is if you have an older phone that uses a micro-USB 2.0 port, you cannot plug a micro-USB 3.0 wire). The benefits of using a USB 3.0 plug are faster charging and faster data transfers.As for the name, they're both "micro B", just this one uses USB 2.0 so it's called "USB 2.0 micro-b" and the new one uses USB 3.0 so it's called "USB 3.0 micro-b."

It will charge anything that has a micro Usb. The Samsung s5 has the special dual port, but you can charge with a single micro usb from the device. I would suggest using the cable that comes with the s5 plugged into the Usb port.

I don't have a s5, I have a note 2. It charges my note 2 pretty good for the amount of time that one may be driving. Of course the average car trip doesn't last for hours.

There are similar products with ports 1A and 2.1A, and the DO charge Galaxy S5, however from 1A port only and 2.1A is ruther not doing anything i.e. no device is plugged in. Does one charge from 2.1A port and using USB3 cable ?

From CNet review "What is a little different is the USB housing on the bottom of the phone. Like the Galaxy Note 3, the S5 now features the elongated USB 3.0 port, which is backward-compatible with standard micro-USB cables. In other words, you can still charge the phone with legacy USB cables, but it'll really juice up quickly with the compound USB 3.0 cable Samsung supplies."

It will fast charge my galaxy s3 phone. However it mounts as a USB 1.1 device.

Yes it does. I have the Galaxy S5 and it charges quickly on the 2 amp socket. This power block comes with 2 USB sockets. One for regular smaller devices and one for bigger devices like our phones or Ipads.

I use both ports for phones including my Samsung galaxy phones with no problems although they do charge a bit faster on the 2.4A port

1a will charge all handsets, while 2.1a will also charge tablets...bigger devices....the 1a will charge them to but not thoroughly :)

Samsung uses a 2 Amp charger, with this being a 2.1 amp charger I see no reason why it would not work. The .1 amp should not cause any issues, most of the chargers have a greater variance between chargers than that. Almost all devices have moved away from having a chip in the charger to test compatibility of manufacturer.

It doesn't matter which you use. The .5 works best on phone and small pads. the 2.1 is for tablets and larger items. Using the lower power on larger items will just slow done the charging process. Using the higher power on smaller items won't hurt them but won't make them charge faster either.

I have charged my Galaxy S4 on both. It charged quicker on the 5V2A slot it seems.

I had issues with the 1amp ports if I was charging an item that was left powered on, ranging from an older model ipod (2nd get I think) to a mobile wifi device and a Galaxy Gear watch. The 2 am ports on the other hand seemed to charge everything I threw at them, and if the device was turned off then it owuld charge on the 1amp fine. For some reason most devices would register the 1amp ports as a USB connection like plugging into a computer.

I've had my particular charger charging both my Samsung Galaxy S3 and my friends Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It doesn't seem to "care" that one port is higher rated but you will notice the 2A port charging nearly twice as fast.
