Easy question

Hey there, just bought the phone today. I got it for $50 but was pretty peeved that it didn't come with the higher speed turbo wall or car charger. Just a regular run of the mill charger.

I have a rebate thing to turn in to get them (12-14 weeks - wtf, right?). So instead of waiting I was debating purchasing them depending on cost. Problem is, since I didn't receive one I have no clue what they actually are or look like. I searched Amazon and its hard to search for the turbo charger for a phone called the Turbo. It just comes up with ....well, chargers. For the Turbo. Lol

Can anyone point me to the actual correct factory turbo charger for the Turbo? Would be much appreciated.

Thanks! I didn't notice a car charger there that was the same. Am I just blind? Will any Qualcomm 2.0 charger work in the car the same?

I would assume that's a yes, but I'm not a fan of assuming even if it means I ask a dumb question.

Yes, they will. The turbo charging is simply Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0.

Phandroid had an article about quick chargers here: http://phandroid.com/2014/12/16/qualcomm-quick-charge-20-wall-charger-on-amazon/#disqus_thread

And Android Central had one recently as well: http://www.androidcentral.com/what-qualcomm-quick-charge
 
By the way, where did you get the turbo? Is it used? I could have sworn that it is only sold with the turbo charger.

At Costco. Like I said I was kinda peeved, but it was much cheaper than anywhere else. So in the end I think I'll come out ahead. It was new though.

Love this thing. Already ordered my MIME tempered glass screen protector.

Went through and disabled a bunch of the crap on the phone and man my battery life is awesome. I believe this phone and I will have a long and wonderful partnership. lol

Thanks for the article as well.
