Not so sure that's true. Part of the reason that Samsung chargers are quicker is that they are higher rated.

My S4 charger is 2A, compared to 500mA for the USB standard

Some Samsung devices such as Tablets are bit picky I believe, as are most Apple devices, but Samsung phones aren't. I bought at 3.6A car charger and my S4 has no problem with it, and it definately charges quicker than on a standard USB computer port.
