Review of: Qi Wireless Charger stand from Choetech

[Radimus]

I had a previous model of this unit which was at the old "slow" charge rate and was so pleased to get the new and improved version. They even fixed the few issues I had with the older version. This model has the charging cable in back instead of sticking out the side, the LED indication light is much dimmer, although larger, which makes it easy to see where to place the phone in a dark room and not act like a flashlight while trying to sleep.

The display angle is acceptable, it works well through a case, although I haven't tried a Defender case yet and the fit is more secure than even the Samsung charger..

The unit uses a microUSB connector and a 2.1A adapter, not included.

I have a fake wireless samsung charger but my phones gets a bit hotter then when i use my cable to charge so i stopt using my wireless charger. How hot does your phone get because i doubt that there is a fan inside your charger so hope you can awnser me.

I just wanted to chime in since I own this device too.

I've tested out on several devices even for those without supporting native wireless charging (one plus 3, iphone 5s and such) and surprisingly, this thing can charge other devices really well.
I own many wireless charging devices but never had one like this on a stand. this thing can charge my phones while streaming videos.

I'm getting ready to jump over to S8 or S8+ when available and I think this charger is a good place to get ready since it supports fast wireless charging as well.

this charges iphone with a wireless charging receiver. it charged iphone about 75% in 60 min. i know it's a small battery but it goes as fast as regular charging block that comes with.

and it can charge on both horizontal and vertical. good way to stream while charging your device (but slowly charges)

and One plus 3 for work

it is quite cool, no excessive heating or anything. it is warm to touch but nothing like you can't keep your fingers on it. battery temperature stays relatively cool while charging. it stays around 35C according to 3C battery monitor widget.

Ah why would you get a s8? Thing looks horrible without a homebutton.

Haha, looks and feels are the least things I worry about when it comes to tech in my head.
I came from 5.5 and 5.7 inches phone and seems like that's where my comfort size (giggity) landed while using it.
s7 is great but little too small, I could have gotten s7 edge but I didn't have to pay for s7, so I went with it.

but you're right.. s7 is beautiful comparing to s8 leak photos and videos. but I'm curious to see how that infinite display thing goes. probably a marketing gimmick.

Yea, the reason i went for the s7 was because it had a homebutton and no curved screen but now that the S7 has curved on all screen and no homebutton i really think ill change phone brand again because i really hate onscreen buttons on my phone before the s7 which was a z5 xperia. But dont you have nougat installed? I think the battery life got so much better with that update that i might stay with the s7 for a extra year and hope the homebutton will return on the s8 or maybe under the screen but it should always be on the fron and not on the back.

But to get back at the subject, i saw that you own one of these chargers also right? Does the phone get hot while charging?

I replied with your quote above on my first comment. charger itself gets warm but not hot to touch. My s7 battery temperature doesn't go above 35°C during the charge. I'll post another screenahot via battery monitoring tool when I get home to charge.

I think they positioned their coils pretty much flushed to our phones in either position for optimal charging.

I know the flat puck chargers don't have indicator of correct position so if slight off to center get your phone hot. Don't really have to worry for this one since it has a tray to put down your phone.

I'm getting stand/tilt wireless chargers from now on because just by not worrying about getting right in the center is totally worth it.

Ah oke thanks for the information! And with what app do you check the temp?

3c battery monitor widget pro is what I use. I think it read better than ampere plus it provides more information regarding battery stats. I like this app the best.

oke, thanks for the reply and i will be checking mine temp on the fake samsung charger because the phone gets pretty warm.

 

[batp]

Can you run the Ampre app while you're charging and show what voltage it charges with?

 

[SNH48]

Thanks, ordered one $15.99. Awesome price at lightning deal!!

 

[franfran003]

nice wireless charger!!!

After reading this thread I have now got this great charger. It charges with a thick cover on the phone.

 

[m4dm4n123]

Bought it. Design cool, led is not too bright in dark, it's easy to use both in horizontal and vertical stand.
But, I could not get it to charge it fast, it's always showing standard charging (ampere says 500mA on average, so a standard usb current). I tried two chargers, one is Samsung rated at 1.8A and the other is 2A. I use slim Ringke case and tried charging with and without it on.

OK, I tried another charger, the official one for S7, and this one DOES support Fast Wireless Charging. The reason is that the charger support Fast Adaptive Charging. So be vary, having just a 2.0A charger doesn't guarantee fast charging, it needs to have FAC support.
