What if I replace the Sony charger(1.5A) with my another phone charger(2.3A)

[MilindRaichura]

I have noticed problems with the charging of my phone. It takes too much time for the phone to charge so I thought why not replace the charger with higher output current. So I have replaces the charger of 1.5A with 2.3A but have kept the power cord same. I wish to know whether this would cause any damage to my device or battery in the long time

That means the device will charge faster,be careful at what output the 2nd adapter has (it shouldn't have more than 5 V).

Exceeding the recommended amps will reduce the battery life and although 1.5 to 2.3 may not sound much but in terms of a phone it is and charging to fast or exceeding the recommended amps can damage your phone ie:overloading fuses etc - If it were me then I wouldn't do it and would rather buy a new plug or use a USB port on a Pc

Which type of plug should I buy so that my phone gets charged quickly

[Thommo]

Look for an EP881 or EP880

[MilindRaichura]

I already have ep880..so do you think ep881 would make that much difference?

[Thommo]

I think they are the same but some countries call it an EP881 instead of an EP880 - I assume that based on the output and from what other sites say the difference is because of the plug pin fitting
