I read somewhere that Samsung's charger includes a device identifier which is accessible in the usual way for USB devices (e.g. try 'lsusb' on Linux systems).  This identifies it as Samsung type-x charger so Samsung devices can be fast-charged, whatever that means in practice, but other devices receive no special treatment.

In any case, a normal Lithium device battery probably doesn't leave much scope for special charging regimes.
