Charger for Tab A7 (2016)

[paparazzo79]

Hi fellas.
I purchased this tablet but didn't get charger for it.
They sold me this no name charger (specs on the pic below)
But I have the one for S7 edge which is made by Samsung.
Can I use that one (pic below)?
The difference is that this one is 2A rated.

Hi. The TAB A7 features a USB Type C connector.

The Samsung S7 is with the Micro USB connector (not Type C).

Did you also purchase a cable with the Type C connector? If not, the adapter cannot be used as it will not fit inside the TAB connector.

Please confirm the details of the 2A adapter and post the usb connector pics.

It's the 2016 edition which uses micro USB.

Tab A7 is with the Micro USB connector?

Then any usb adapter with micro usb will charge the tablet. Just note that lower current adapters or even pc ports (500ma max if usb 2.0) will work to charge the tablet but will take longer than higher current sources.

Found this information on the 2016 A7 review:

The included 5-watt charger (5 V, 1 A) fully recharges the tablet's depleted battery in approximately 4 hours when the device is on. This process cannot be accelerated with a stronger power supply: In the test, the battery was not ready for use any sooner even with a 10-watt charger. The tablet is only charged in a turned off state when connected to a conventional USB port, such as installed in laptops.

Oh okay.But my none OEM is 1.5 A and 5V.
Can I use that one since the current is higher?
