New S8+ owner here. Wanna ask. The charger ratings seems to be a different from the older Samsung phones.

S8+: 9V / 1.67A
        5V / 2.0A

Older chargers : 5V / 2.0A

Can i charge the phone using any  5v/ 2.0A charger? hmm.gif

Inb4 S8+ explode due to user plug wrong charger.

9v 1.67A is the QC 3.0, if you use 5v 2.0A it will charge slower.
and since you are using genuine charger, likely nothing will go wrong

Oh i see. If i use Quick Charge from other brands with similar Voltage/ A, ok then?

I'm using a 3rd party charger BlitzWolf that supports QC3.0, and it will have fast charging. also ensure your cable supports QC3.0 as well

This, +1. S8 in Malaysia uses an exynos chipset with 'adaptive fast charging'. It's the equivalent of Qualcomm's QC 2.0

No offense but it kinda gets on my nerves when people post wrong facts here which imo can mislead others. Sure they don't mean it but I think it'll be beneficial to all parties if they do a double check with a simple Google search before posting an answer.
