I received this unit for the note 7 but with the unfortunate event, I had to test it with S7 Edge which, on paper, works exactly as same as S7 and note 7.
This thing charges very quick, I'll say faster than ordinary power banks or cheap 5v 1A adapters.
I'd like to do a comparison on charging speed (see images) on Galaxy S7 edge with LG G4 for this charging pad.
I was going to add note 7 on this review but with all this recall issues, I'd update as I go. IF I ever get my hands on it again
there are two LED indicators, green means fast wireless charge, and blue means ordinary wireless charge.
on S7 Edge, took about 25 - 30 min to go from 25% to 46% with cool temp (30 - 32C) , that's pretty good for wireless.
on LG G4, took about 25 - 30 min to go from 21% to 33% with warm temp (40C)
on S7 Edge, it outputs up to 1.5A with 4V on my quick charge 2.0 adapter.
on LG G4, it outputs just shy of 0.8A with 4V on my quick charge 2.0 adapter.
by comparing these two setups, I concluded that it charges close to twice as fast as regular charger. I am very impressed.
I also have CHOETECH's regular wireless charging puck. I have to say, the regular puck I have is easier to charge, meaning it tolerates slightly off center but still charges as well as offer greater charging distance off from the pad, but this fast charger doesn't tolerate much, I'd have to remember to position in center for it to charge my devices. but you'll get used to it as the LED indicator will flash if you didn't set your phone straight, solid light means good. also it works well with slim cases as you can see it on my attached images.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about getting fast wireless charging.

and this is the regular wireless charging puck I was talking about. blue LED works with ambient light, meaning it won't burn your eyes at night. it dims automatically.

I've got the black Samsung Wireless Charging Stand which comes with Samsung's fast travel charger. It's very fast and I use it with my SM-G935FD (Dual SIM S7 Edge Exynos). Comparing the times from the fast charger, the wireless stand is usually just 10-20 min slower. That's according to the estimate Samsung shows in the notification tray once you plug it in. Haven't measured the timings myself yet.
The temp goes around 35C to 38C during fast charging but if I leave it on the charger even after full charging, the charging stand stops charging but the battery temp stays at 32C. Off the charger, it will fall to 26C which was a little disappointing since I would have loved to leave the phone on the stand all day since it looks cool especially with the Always On display clock. I measured the battery temps with CPU-Z.
Charging speed is definitely faster than a normal charger plugged in.
Ebay must be 7.5watts and not 10watts

I am looking for best car charger, my phone will be all day on in the car, and I am looking for best solution for charging in the car, and fastest.
I found few good chargers but not sure are they support quick charge

and

Or is there some third better solution? Sorry I can't post links
thank you
anything above 2A is consider fast/rapid charge and barely any difference than the "quick charge" not to mention, saving a few mintues might do more harm than good to your replaceable battery.. at 2A, the phone will go from 6-10% battery to 50% in about 25 minutes.

Thank you, what about Verizon Quick Charge 2.0?
I have used Verizon QUALCOMM version and would recommend the quick charge version if you want to take advantage of the quick charge. If time to charge I not an issue then obviously any high amp charger like the units cited above such as iottie would work
Is quick charge healthy for battery in my case? Or maybe should I get slower one?
I am using the Airdock.
While I can't say I loved it with the S5 (was falling off) the flat back of the Edge fits perfectly on it so I'm much happier with it.
Fun streaming video, back passengers can watch video off of it with the car speakers...
works well.

faster charging will always put a bit more wear on battery than charging at a slower rate. most people here will probably swap devices often so probably doesn't matter for them. if you plan to keep your device for a few years and want max battery life then maybe use a 5V 2A charger instead (one that i've linked to above).
2A is still "fast charge" the only difference is it's Quick Charge 1.0 which is at 5 Volts compared to Quick Charge 2.0 that runs at 9 Volts.
better example:
Quick Charge 1.0 - 5V @ 2A (5V * 2A) = 10 Watts of power
If your phone is at around 8-10% you'll get to about 50% charge in about 30 minutes.
Quick Charge 2.0 - 9V @ 1.7A (9V * 1.7A) = 15 Watts of power (up to 12V * 3A = 36 watts for some tablets)
If your phone is at around 8-10% you'll get to about 50% charge in about 20-25 minutes.
Quick Charge 2.0 will only be a little bit faster once the battery gets to around 50-60%, then it will throttle down to Quick Charge 1.0 rates to keep the battery from getting too hot and causing excessive wear.
All Quick Charge 2.0 devices are also backwards compatible with Quick Charge 1.0, meaning that you can use a Quick Charge 2.0 device with a Quick Charge 1.0 supply, and visa versa.
In short: Quick Charge 2.0 will only save you about 15 minutes to completely charge your phone compared to the normal 5V @ 2A chargers.
Get Verizons branded car charger with fast charge. Workscexcellent, and AND has a little flashlight right above the micro charge plug, which comes in super handy in dark car. Very well made.

I bought this one. Didn't fully test yet but when I plug this, it says "fast charging". It would be better if this has light notification. But it's good that it charges fast.
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.

To anyone thinking of wireless charging for our device - I advise against it. Not only will it charge rally slowly compared to the standard charger - it'll generate a tonne of heat and kill your battery rather quick.
I use a cheap chinese QI pad and it doesn't get hot but I discovered you need to switch off fast charge (under battery) and it works fine. Granted it charges at a rate of 20% in 30 mins but for overnight it fine....mine doesn't seem to get hot or even warm.

I have used wireless charging since the Nexus 4 and never had any trouble with reduced battery life. Nexus 4, Galaxy S4, Note 3, Note 4, and Note 5. Except for the S4 which I returned to switch to a Note 3, the battery life is about 20 to 24 months with little or no reduction in usability. When I get a new phone I hand the old one down to my wife and other family members, and I have ordered the new batteries when needed.
Hi,
I have a funny setup: solar charger/table decoration connected to a wireless charger (stuff from ebay with Samsung logo).
So I assume it will charge so slow if any at all. But still.. at least won't discharge during office hours.
Would this hurt battery in any way?
Well it should not hurt it. If most, like all wireless chargers they are actually good for your battery health. Wireless charging charges slow but does not strain the battery as much. If you fast charge your phone it does worse to the battery long term
However if you post the model of your charger we can look it up and be sure
will slow wireless charging hurt my batter if I'm using a Samsung wireless charger?
model: EP-PG950 - 2018 model that i received with my note 8
Same Question
I had the same questions. I also see there is an option for fast wireless charging in settings. If slow charging is better for battery health and you mostly leave your phone charging over night, would it be best to leave fast charging off so it takes most of the time you are sleeping to charge slowly until full?
At the moment I leave my phone at low charge while I sleep and wake up 2 or 3 hours earlier to plug it in so that I don't over charge the battery.
Wireless charging creates more heat so this question is hard to answer as I have not seen any good breakdowns of qi vs fast. I have been wirelessly charging from older chargers like the wireless charger that came out for note 4 and some 3 coil charger from Nokia that was on clearance for $15. They're not fast wireless charging and phone does get warm. I also charge off of 500ma and 1A chargers usually and only use the adaptive fast charging (QC2.0) when I need a quick top up. Heat doesn't help your battery.
Perhaps somebody can do a comparison with regular qi, fast qi, 1A or less charger and the adaptive fast charger and see what the min and Max of battery temp is through out charging cycle. I'm guessing 1A charger is the best and regular qi is ok. Fast wireless and Fast charging get your battery temp higher.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
With the supplied charger and cable the charging time is very impressive ("Turbo Charge") with a normal QC3.0 charger charge time is still very good but comparable to most other QC3.0 devices.
Something to note is the device does get noticeably warm when using the supplied charger in the "Turbo Charge" mode.
Takes about an hour for me with included charger.

yes i noticed it get warm to hot-ish
isn't that bad for the battery?

That's normal because you're not using it, if using while charging it will be hot as your running apps, tasks etc... at the same time. This will increase the heat as sensors will be running also.
Has anyone tried to use other cables that has the same turbo charge effect like the included cable? The included cable is too short, usually I use 2 meters long cable.
I have tried the baseus 5A 40W cable but it only support quick charging and not turbo.
I've tested charging wattage using original 33W charger and original USB cable via specialized USB tester, and I noticed it provides only 25W (about 9.6V/2.65A). It shows "Turbo Charge" indeed, but it's still only 75% efficient. Anyone care to explain this? Is this normal? I've read that only Zoom edition can be charged at 33W, so I expected non-Zoom edition will charge at least with 30W. I tried two other USB cables, and still only 25W. Later today I will try to charge it with Blitzwolf 30W PD charger and see how it goes with that one...
I haven't really tested charge speeds. So far the battery life has been exceptional and the main reason I opted for this phone without the high res screen and refresh rate, as see battery as more essential. I would much prefer charging at a slow speed to preserve battery life. A good app for this is AccuBattery. It measures how many mAh's being charged and discharged after each charge and keeps a graph. It will estimate battery health also.
Yeah I know about AccuBattery, I've been using it in the past. But a real physical tester device is always more precise. I do sw/hw development for a living so I know for a fact. Indeed, battery life is very good because optimized MIUI and pretty big battery, but it would be even better if charging speed was also up to the specs. Meanwhile I've tested charging speed using Blitzwolf 30W PD2.0 charger (K30Pro should support PD3.0 and be backward compatible), and situation is even worse - only about 15-16W at QC3.0 I believe. So no Turbo Charge was initiated. I mean 25W with original charger is still good, but I expected advertised charging speed. I'll do more tests when I catch some time.
Thats normal, because it don't charge all the time with 30W. Compare it with WARP Charge 30T it is faster. OnePlus 8 got 30W and 4300 mAh, F2 Pro is faster with bigger bettery but it's almost the same.
How old is your Blitzwolf charger?
I know it shouldn't charge @30W above 80-90%, but sure it should at 20-ish where I'm at about now. It's also not even cool to the touch, so there's no apparent reason to slow it to 25W. My Blitzwolf charger is about a year old, but I only used it couple of times, so it should be as good as new.

Batteries don't like heat but it is actively monitored and it will slow down charging when it crosses temperature threshold.
That's why I mentioned my phone is not even cool to the touch (let alone hot), so my case is not temperature related. I'll try to charge it while turned off, though it was pretty much in idle doing nothing when I did the test, ie. not stressed at all by any factor. All in all, I mean if everyone else gets 25W out of original charger, I won't bother anymore. Also, if it charges from 10-90% in around 1 hour, I won't waste any more time on this either, since it's good enough for me. I was just curious why it charges at 25W, when 30W (and 33W for Zoom edition) was advertised. Altough it wouldn't be the first time something was advertised at launch, and not achievable in real-case scenario.

Fun fact: phone doesn't charge when powered off?! That's a first. Is it just me, or am I getting too old? For the whole time I'm talking about my Redmi, not to confuse it with Poco, if that matters at all. Maybe Poco works differently.
On my Huawei device you also can not turn off an charge but this starts with Android 10.
takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes for me, I think the high temperature here, summer season, is the reason for this slow charging speed.
From 20-100% in about an hour. Few minutes less actually. Battery is big, that's all ok.
F2 turn off and are dead with 0% (can't turn on). Timer 60 min. and after 60 min. I got 96% with original charger. The phone don't turn on, like it always do.
@Burs a friend told me "on my Anker charger I only can use PD over the third usb port, with the type c port it will charge over QC 3.0 and not over PD" maybe thats why you get ~16W?
When my Redmi was turned off completey, it was hooked up to my USB tester for about a minute. I doubt it would trigger after some minutes, and only then start charging. For the whole time it was connected, I was getting 5V / 0.015A readings on the display. That's pretty much USB tester drawing the power from the phone battery, not the charger! So that would mean charging was completely disabled making the phone behave as a power bank lol. Weird enough, right?
My Blitzwolf charger has only two ports. One PD2.0 (USB-C) and one QC3.0 (USB-A). I've tried three sets of USB cables (one even 5A) on both ports, and best I could get out of it was about 15W. I think I'll have to order another one with PD3.0 and Turbo Charge compatibility.
Heh I'm planning on just using my old 1A slow chargers because they're dotted around the house and work, will probably not even plug fast charger in. Magnetic cables are just so convenient.
Hello! I'm looking for a wireless car charger for my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra. My Baseus charger (on the screenshot) broke after only a year of usage.
It has 10w output and so when the navigation is on it only helps keep the charge.
Sometimes Xiaomi 20w car charger is recommended but according to reviews it still chargers Note 20 Ultra with 10 watts, 20w is only for Xiaomi charging protocols.
Can you advise me a charger that is compatible with and can charge the device with more than 10w?
Just look in Amazon, there's a lot of them that offer different watts for charging, not expensive either unless you go with name brand
I am looking for one as well. I have two scosche magicmount chargers that are fast charge. The 9v 1.67A or roughly 20 watts, but these will only charge the new note 20 ultra at 10w. From what I can tell they start off fast charging then the phone stops them and only allows the 10w. I took one of these apart along with a Samsung branded fast charger, the biggest difference I saw right away was the samsung charger had dual coils. So I think that may be the difference the phone recognizes because the voltage and amperage are the same.
I'd like to find one that has the same or similar magnetic mounting system. Its mostly a matter of convenience but also I have used clap ones before, not all were wireless chargers but the manual one often broke on me and the one automatic one I have has a touch button on the side that is very sensitive, so it often releases when I don't mean for it too.
@adj998 Yes there are plenty on Amazon, but unfortunately it seems Samsung has deemed this single coil wireless chargers as inadequate and disables fast charging on them.

How has this Xiaomi charger fared? And how fast does it charge the N20 Ultra? The one I have doesn't charge the N20, just keeps it at a constant level but the same charger does charge an S7 and a Note 9 much faster (so probably coming up against the Sammie 'lets annoy customers by making them buy only Sammie wireless chargers' issue!). I have tried moving the phone up/down a bit to see if that's the issue but no luck.
So, looking to get something that charges faster and will get this one if it does so. Anyone else have the Xiaomi charger and is happy with it?
I am still happy with it, it charges my s23 ultra fast, the screen says fast wireless charging so, it is still good.
