So a few nights ago, I got a message from someone with CHOETECH. They'd seen that I had posted here about my Stadium Qi charger and asked if I'd be willing to try out the new Iron Stand charger. Of course I said yes - their timing couldn't have been better as I was planning on buying a stand charger soon. I only had the one and was getting tired of bringing it back and forth between work and home (not that it was a pain, but if I'd forget it I'd be grumpy ).
Packaging
The packaging was quite nice. I don't recall what the Stadium packaging was like, but a lot of stuff from China doesn't even come in a box. Quality packaging left an immediate positive initial impression.
Contents
The box contained the Iron Stand charger, a 5V 2A power adapter, USB cable, a "User Manual", and a card with instructions what to do if you were either happy (post a review, recommend, etc) or unhappy (contact their customer service) with the product.
Build Quality
First impressions - this thing is really nice. My wife, very non-tech type, even comment on how nice it looks. The stand is made of what appears to be some sort of aluminium alloy. The charging plate is in the middle and very polished (it's quite reflective). On one side is the power port and 4 blue indicator LEDs. The LED on the Stadium is very bright, but it's more subtle here on the Iron Stand. On the bottom of the stand is soft rubber that gives it a really good grip so that it doesn't slide around. Also, the USB cable that it comes with seems to be pretty high quality, on par with the Anker cables I've got. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the quality of this charger.
Capability
Using my S6 Edge with a Ringke Fusion cover, positioning the device so that it gets a charge is very simple - it picks it up right away, vertical or horizontal. However, I found that it seems to get a faster charge when horizontal. When horizontal I get a charge on par with the Stadium charger, but it's a tad slower when vertical. Must just be something with the placement of the coils not being quite right for the S6. Aside from that, it does work well. I've had no issues with it overheating. Every once in a while the screen will kick on when fully charged, but I think this is probably a result of something draining my battery just enough to get it below 100%. Seems about the same as the Stadium on that front.
TL;DR - The Iron Stand is a really good choice for a stand Qi charger. Build quality is great, charging is on par with what you should expect from a Qi charger.
I wonder that just before reading this post, I watched a video of the same wireless charger charging the Note 5! But i don;t think the Smartphone he used in that video is Note 5! Any idea if it is compatible with Note 5 or not? Meanwhile, here is that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCMObdATmI0
The charger is nicely built for strong usage. Choetech built it with good quality materials. Iron stand used as charging pad is of great quality and full functional to place the mobile devices either in portrait or landscape mode. The good thing about that stand is you can watch videos while the phone is in charging. No more clumsy wire that connects your mobile and charger. LED lighting shows the status of your wireless charging. Thanks for great post.

I hadn't seen that video. You are right though, that's not the Note 5 - my guess is that it is the S6 Edge+. With my regular S6 Edge, there's still a bit of room on either side of the stand (3 or 4 mm). I looked at the Note 5 just the other day at a Sprint store and it isn't that much bigger than an S6, so my guess is that it will be physically fine on this charger. However, this is a normal Qi charger putting out a max of just 1A of 5V current. The Note 5 and S6 Edge+ have some sort of enhanced Qi capabilities that Samsung is touting as Wireless Fast Charging that requires one of the fast charging adapters. This charger doesn't support that.
I received a sample of this charger as well, and wanted to comment on it.
I had previously been using a Itian wireless charger and was very happy with how it worked on both my S6 Edge, and my Nexus 6.
The CHOETECH iron stand came in a nice package, and the coils on the stand were protected in shipping bu clear film.
Once out of the package, I noticed that the vertical stand angle was better than my Itian model, allowing my phones to stand up even more vertically, which is something I like. With my phones turned on its side, the Itian worked just fine on both my S6 Edge and my Nexus, but CHOETECH was a little picky about how i positioned my Nexus when turned sideways; eventually, I found a good spot for it, and it worked just fine on both phones.
The only that I didnt like when comparing the 2 brands, was that the CHOETECH charger charges slower than the Itian does, but eventually it does charge both of my phones 100%.
Either charger would make a nice addition to your charging inventory, and I will say the CHOETECH charger is a bit more attractive, if you prefer an "industrial" look.
Either way, both of these units work well, so the choice is yours!
CHOETECH claims to use premium quality components in the manufacturing of Standing Wireless Charger and the products. CHOETECH is certified with FCC, CE and ROHS. They also offers 18 months warranty on qi charger against all manufacturing defects with easy to reach customer services. I have read many positive reviews about CHOETECH Iron Stand Qi Wireless Charger. I am happy with its performance.
It looks a nice charging stand to charge my phone while I am enjoying a video. Hey OP, the iron construction both looks premium and feels solid, but is it heat-resistant? How do you feel like it?

I've not noticed any hear issues at all. I use the iron stand at home and the stadium at work. Construction is very good quality.

Bottom line, the TL;DR version, I really like this charger. Of the three I now own, it's now definitely my favorite. It's large enough to make aligning your device simple and effortless (this is the only wireless charger I have where I don't feel like I need to double check to make sure that my Nexus 7 is sitting on it correctly) and small enough to not take up much space on a surface or in a bag or pocket. With the light around the edge of the charger, it's easy to see whether or not your phone is actually charging, whereas on other chargers, the indicator light is usually obscured by whatever device is sitting on top of it charging.
And don't worry about the light being a nuisance in a dark rook — one of the attached photos (the one where you can't see anything but the charging LED of my phone) was taken of the the charger charging a phone with the camera pointed directly at the light. As you can see, it won't bother you at night. One more thing, the light doesn't go around the entire circle of the charger. It only lights up about a third of it.
If you're looking for the type of charger that you can just set your phone on that isn't a dock, I'd consider this one.
Now on to the rest of my review...
When I was offered a chance to try this wireless charger, I had very low expectations. I currently own two other wireless chargers. One is actually another CHOETECH brand charger which I've been very content with (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00) and the other is the PowerBot "puck" wireless charger which I am not very fond of at all (http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot®-PB1...373&sr=8-2&keywords=powerbot+wireless+charger). My initial expectations were based on the latter since it is a similar shape (round) to this circle CHOETECH charger.
My biggest complaint with the PowerBot charger was that the size and shape of it just made it less ideal for charging a large phone or tablet. Basically, attempting to tap your screen while it was charging meant making your phone wobble everywhere and, since the charger is so small in comparison, it's impossible to see the indicator light so that you know the phone or tablet is on the right spot and charging. I figured these issues would just be inherent with round chargers, but that was not the case with this CHOE circle charger. It turns out I really like this charger, but I wish I could have got the black model instead.
The ring around the edge of the charger is rubbery to provide grip. For my leather back G4, that did nothing since the phone doesn't lay flat, however my Nexus 7 is held firmly in place so I don't have to worry about it sliding around. It comes with a decent sized USB cable (off the top of my head,I think it's two or three feet). The indicator light is well lit in light, more than enough to let you know it's working, and then it's basically not there in the dark.
There's really not much more to say. It's a great charger and I think $20 for it isn't bad at all.
5/5 if I had to rate it.
All photos taken with my G4. Models pictured are my G3 and Nexus 7.
Thanks and good to see your review here. May I know where did you get your cover case for your G4?
I was checking the wireless charging cover case and the charging pad.

I would like to anwser you, this wireless charger works great.
I'm useing anther item more than two years.
I had this circle Qi charger for my girlfriend. Mini size is perfect for girls.
Wireless charging would be so cool and convenient. I have three all over the house and hardly ever use my wired charger now. I also have this Choetech circle qi wireless charger that supports fast charging for my Note 5. But it would be great if it was a dock instead a pad.

Looking so cool!
I feel like I need to review this as well, because I have so many wireless charging pad and I had to compare them with this. and it was an amazing experience.
Now, my co-worker is rocking with her S6 with the thick case, my generic charging pad couldn't even detect the phone to charge where as this Choetech had no problem charging through the thick case.
the case is about 5mm thick on the bottom, thats about 0.2 inches, still charges, nice!
also charges my moto 360 without any problems, guess what though! it charges my moto 360 upside down too!! that was amazing. so Choetech must have considered phones with thick cases that are having hard time wireless charging. I'll definitely put this company in my shopping list for my future mobile devices accessories from now on. they have earned my business.
it outputs to about 5w when charging, so it will take about 3 hour'ish to top off your phones, and about 45 minutes for your smart watches.
please see photos below.
Picked up this charger based on this thread and really like it so far. I was worried about the brightness of the light ring for when I sleep but it is extremely dim, to the point that it doesn't add any light to the room.
I'm using the stock charger with it and have pulled the wireless&nfc sticker from an ankway circle case (I officially must hate circle cases) and installed that to my original plastic back cover. I also have the cruiserlite bugdroid case on the phone and it still works great. I took a 3.5 hour nap and the phone was 100% charged from 22% when I woke up. I'm sure it hit 100% before I woke up.
I just recently got this and figured many of you have pointed me to some cool accessories that I would return the favor...
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013AB620C/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_MpO5vb43XEEP2
Price: $19
I know there are tons of wireless charger out there, but what I truely like about this one is the charging halo notification light that automatically dims and or turns off completely when in a dark room (shown in my video below). I got this charger in the bed room on a side table and once the lights go out, the charging notification light itself goes dark. It simply is a useful feature if you are someone sensitive to any light while sleeping.
Obviously this nor any wireless charger will not compete with the speed of the stock wall charger or other wired quick chargers, but for me it helps eliminate those "oops" situations. For example, I woken up too many time to find that in my last moments before crashing for the night I didn't actual plug the micro usb cable completely into my phone. With my luck it always happens on a day when you wake up late for work and will need your phone the most. I'm sure you all have done it at one point. Fun times.
I should add, even if you don't have your phone perfectly aligned on this charging surface it still charges with ease. I'm surprised how forgiving it is when compared to a original Google Nexus wireless charger which had to be absolutely perfectly aligned. That thing drove me crazy.
The one thing I'll warn is that this unit does not come a wall adapter (AC to DC invertor) so you either need to use the stock Samsung wall adapter or another one that has 2amp 5v output or higher. I tested it on a 1.8amp 5v adapter and it still worked, but that will lengthen the charge time. Can't say by how long at this point.
I got another CHOETECH wireless charger in my car and have no problems. So far I'm pretty impressed with this brand. Anyway, below are some pics and a video I made with Samsung video app....
https://youtu.be/MS5R0QWD5JE
This design looks similar to the Samsung Wireless Charging Pad. Cool accessory and the price $19 is tempting. The lighting thing is a gimmick. The only regret that it is a common single coil charger.
Here are some tests I read of both the Choetech Circle and the Samsung wireless charging pad from Talkandroid. All tests were done during a timed 30 minutes of charging with a few days in between and after various restarts of the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Choetech
30% -> 41% (with case) (11% increase)
30% -> 43% (with case) (13% increase)
75% -> 91% (without case) (16% increase)
05% -> 23% (without case) (18% increase)
Samsung
24% -> 43% (with case) (19% increase)
74% -> 90% (with case) (16% increase)
08% -> 21% (without case) (13% increase)
11% -> 31% (without case) (20% increase)

How is it a gimmick? While other chargers stay lit all day and all night (even when you're trying to sleep), this one automatically dims in darkness. I've heard plenty of people complaining about wireless chargers being obnoxious during the night due to their always-on LEDs, yet this one doesn't have that issue. I like the light. It's lit enough around the edge so that you can clearly see that you're charging your device (very helpful for my Nexus 7) and then it's out of sight when I'm laying down for bed.
I can see how the single coil aspect of it can be seen as a downside, but I honestly have no issue with using this charger vs the PowerBot charger I still own. Maybe this is just big enough that I always place my devices on the "sweet spot"?
What is great about that is you don't have to put the device exactly in the middle for it to work. That is really efficient.

It's a single coil pad and won't have a wide charging area, so you need to put at the exact central for better working.

I agree with you. A key feature of the T517 is the blue LED integrated into the base. The LED is connected to an ambient light sensor, a unique feature for a wireless charger. When a room is darkened, the LED automatically turns off in a surprisingly useful ability. It's good to have the sometimes distracting light dim itself as the ambient light falls as it prevents the glowing charger from commanding your attention while working at a desk. It could also help with sleeping if the device is used in a bedroom.
So far I have two wireless chargers, the the Nokia Wireless Charging Stand (DT-910) and the Anker Ultra-Slim Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad. Most wireless charger output a maximum of 1A. The thing that differentiate Choe Circle Qi Wireless Charger from the rest of my wireless chargers is basically the indicator ring light which adds a cool factor.

I have a Nexus 6. The CHOETECH wireless charging works both my S6 edge and Nexus 6. There is a built-in lightning sensor on the wireless charger that will automatically dim/turn off the indicator light when the room is dark. It works well as shown in the quick video below.

I got this charger a week ago and it works really well. It is easy to position the S6 Edge correctly for charging and the ambient light sensor is a big plus (that's the feature that made me buy this product). I use my phone as an alarm clock and most wireless chargers have disturbing LED's. This one just dims the LED when the lights go out.
My phone is charged 100% every morning but I never checked how long it takes to get there.
Having been using this CHOE T517 qi charger for a month. Here are my general feedback:
The design is compact and extremely portable, the automatic dim-off design very impressive.
Charging good so far. I like charging overnight, I don't know the exact hours to charge 100% completely for my phone. But a thick case may slow down the charging speed, so it's best to take off the case if you have a case on your phone.
Seems the price drops a bit, two bucks cheaper than mine. (I bought it at $19.)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013AB620C
Anyway, not bad accessory for bed side.
How about the quality and charging speed? I had one Anker qi charger at 12 bucks only. It does seem to be made of metal vs plastic in the other ones.

Thanks for the review. My wife and I are both annoyed at any light while sleeping. I avoided the Samsung charger because of this. I just ordered two of these. Too bad they're on backorder til the 12th.
I just received my review unit of the Cheotech Fast Wireless Charger. This charger costs 34 dollars on amazon. It supports auto-dimming so you don't have to worry about a glowing puck at night.
Just wanted to update this post with a $8 off code. Here is the code number: FOX9T3SJ Enjoy!
MOD Edit: Referral links removed
good review , and no angry pitch
I got the white version of this CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger at Amazon. I use it with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & the fast charging is working great. This can be purchased with the pad on it's own or bundled with a fast charging wall adapter.

I have bought this Choetech Fast Wireless Charger yesterday. I am happy with its fast charging and LED Light Charging Status indicator.
Can the lights be shut off completely? I'd like to have one of these on my night stand but wouldn't want any light.
I received my charger from Choetech today and left my review on amazon, I have copied it here as well for the folks at XDA.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can.
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I have attached some pictures and may upload a video in a day or 2 after I have some more time to test this gem out.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
My Review
Hey guys and gals, I received my CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger a few days ago and wanted to add my review to this thread.
It starts off with nice packaging with color graphics on the front and information about the charger on the back. Once you open the package up, the fast wireless charging puck and included USB cable are both neatly and safely inside. The fast wireless charging puck has a piece of protective plastic on it which you will need to remove before charging.
The wireless charging puck itself is very nice. It's small and compact, has a nice gloss finish to it and has a rubber ring around it so your phone won't slide off of it while charging. The bottom also has a rubber ring around it so the puck won't slide around on whatever surface you put it on. I know this is pretty standard fare at this stage in the game, but very nice touches for a very fairly priced fast wireless charger.
How about performance? This is the most important aspect, right? To put it bluntly, it's fantastic. Compared to the Samsung branded counterpart of this, it performs admirably to say the least. And at basically half the price. I have consistently been getting about 8% charge every 10 minutes. Very respectable and performs up to spec as far as I can tell. If my math is correct, you are looking at about a little over 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I've also noticed that the charger has a fairly large sweet spot. You don't have to be perfect with putting your phone on there, it will charge off center. Another nice feature is the auto dimming. In bright light, the charger has green lights that glow while you are charging. The lights turn blue when you are fully charged. In low light, the lights get much dimmer. In the dark, the lights turn off completely. This is an awesome feature for people who are sensitive to lights while trying to sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this charger. It charges fast (as advertised) and is sold at a great price. It is also well built and the auto dimming feature is very welcomed and a great addition that I didn't expect at this price point.
Yes, charge light was shut off completely.

The light goes off automatically in the dark. Perfect one for bedside use.
Got mine today in black. Very sleek and surprisingly dense. Short video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMc2FBoOuY
Fast charging wirelessly is super convenient, can't say enough good things about. I know the OEM samsung fast charger has vents on the bottom because of heating. Wondering how well this will dissipate heat in the long run.
I charge over night. I would assume this would stop charging once full right? So its safe to leave it on the pad till morning... I normally unplug in the morning
How is it with placement? I can't ever seem to get phone to charge and stay charging even on 3 coil chargers
Seems to connect easily as long as you place it near the center. In the video I posted I remove and connect a few times,each time it registered fine without having to adjust placements.
Hi All,
I also just received the Choetech Quick Charger and absolutely love it! My initial impression is that the build quality is superb. It has some heft to it and seems to be built to last. The top and bottom have rubber grip zones to prevent the charger and phone from sliding around on my desk. I also like how the LED shuts off when the room is dark (great for sleeping) as I always hate bright lights at night.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it can charge the phone from 0-100% in about 2 hours which is about an hour faster then the normal wireless chargers. There's no way I would recommend buying the Samsung quick charge variant over this version as it is half the cost with the same functionality.
I haven't had any issues with the charger detecting my phone using the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and would assume that any slim fit case would be just fine.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product and would recommend it! Please reach out to me if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manor.

I charge over night. I would assume this would stop charging once full right? So its safe to leave it on the pad till morning... I normally unplug in the morning

I charged mine overnight and woke up to a full charge. The phone wasn't hot (and neither was the wireless charger) so I'd say that it is safe to use overnight.
I received mine today and I can actually charge my Note 5 with the flap opened and pinned back on my folio case. Here's the case I have for reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MWJG0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
When the phone is 100% charged does the charger receive the charging complete signal from the Note 5 and cut the power output from the Choetech charger? Or is the charger at 10W all the time?
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.
