As these are imported, and Warehouse have swapped out the charger to a NZ compliant charger, I'm guessing we are going to miss out on fast charge capability if we buy this? Any thoughts?

Just make sure they are fully compatible with the NZ network before you pull the trigger. Eg the correct LTE band. Is it 21?

We are dealing with the Warehouse, so not worried about not working on NZ networks. No way they would be selling S6's don't work in NZ. And if in the unlikely event they didn't. you'd always get a refund.

But am very keen on the smart charge capability of the S6, so would not buy if we lost this feature.

Edit - just found out you can now buy an NZ new S6 for same price outright at Noel Leeming (owned by the Warehouse!), so no need to bother with parallel import as no price advantage.
