      What I was trying to say is that if the cable is not connected properly, fast charging mode will not be activated, which will make the charging to be mediocre, like you mentioned, will take 4 hours to fully charge from zero percent.
      I have no idea about your situation (you still using original charger or not, have upgraded to marshmallow or not, or any other things).
      eg. if you have upgraded to marshmallow, a lot of users are claiming charging duration to be longer (double, but not as long as you mentioned), which I think might be because they want to avoid the incident like Note7, but I don't know cos' I have not upgraded yet.
      If you're still using the original charger and it's connected properly and fast charging mode is not activated, 1. charger might be damaged, 2. worse, your phone circuit might be not really damaged but partly faulty.

Now, I have been using this phone for about 2 weeks, with fast charger (original charger), it takes about 1:30 minutes (max) to fully charge from 0% and less time from 20 or 30%.

I also have Galaxy A5 2016 and it takes approximately one hour maybe even less to charge it from 15%-20% to 100%. Of course if you use normal charger then it's okay that it take 2 hours, but I use fast charger.

                            Gorilla Glass is better on A5 2016, the CPU is better in nexus but GPU is better on Galaxy
                            Nexus has no SD but has gyroscope (maybe for pokemon go ;)
                            battery is slightly better on galaxy (i have it and gives full 5h or heavy usage) can't comment on nexus sadly but galaxy has fast charging which might come in hand depending on ur availability to charge it often.
                            the design is up to u, i like more the galaxy (cuz i own it) but u might think different
                            all the rest seem pretty much the same and i love the camera on galaxy dunno about the nexus
                            oh and galaxy weights a bit more but the glass on the back is better than plastic in my opinion. hope my humble opinion helps a bit :)

                                      I have this phone for 7 months and my honest opinion is it's a damn good phone no lag fast charging stable good battery life Only con is no notification light but that;s easy as can download from playstore. I don't play games so can't tell about games but definitely no heating and it's value for money
