A:AnswerI believe the phone must be at least a Samsung Galaxy S6 or newer to be compatible with the Qi-enabled wireless chargers. In other words, I'm fairly certain this particular phone doesn't support wireless charging.
A:AnswerFrom what I'm able to find, no. Only the following Samsung devices have built in QI Charging:
Samsung Galaxy S6

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

A:AnswerSorry to tell you that your friend is wrong. NFC is for data transfer and not for wireless charging. In order to be able to charge your S5 wirelessly, you will have to buy a wireless charger transmitter that you will have to connect to your phones mini usb plus and wrap the sensor behind your phone.
A:AnswerYes. Haste.
Before I purchased for my Samsung SM-G950U (Galaxy S8), I chatted with a customer service representative because I did not see mine listed. I wanted to purchase the Samsung brand because I did not want to take a chance on a charger that might ruin my cell phone.
They assured me it would be compatible. I purchased the whole bundle today. Samsung - Power Pack Fast Charge bundle. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-power-pack-fast-charge-bundle-black/5619708.p?skuId=5619708; Model: ET-MB930BBUBDL; Sku: 5619708today, and it works fine. I am using the wireless charger right now.
I plugged in the car charger the moment I got in the car to charge my phone. I was amazed at how fast it was!!!
