Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Convertible

I am giving this a 3-star review because I just received the device this morning and don''t have a lot of experience with it yet. As I gain experience, I will update my review. I am using the convertible form factor with my iPhone X running iOS 11.1.2. Pros: 1. Really nice form factor, I like having the iPhone at a good viewing angle. 2. Being able to be used as both a pad and as a stand is very convenient. 3. Fit and finish are excellent. 4. Surface of the pad grips my iPhone in it's Tech 21 case very well. 5. USB-C input so (theoretically) I am not limited to a proprietary AC wall wart, and can use this in my car with a suitable USB-C power supply. Cons: 1. I put my iPhone X on the pad and it recognizes the charger, shows the lighting bolt next to the battery icon, then after a few seconds, the lightning bolt goes away and the phone stops charging. This could be due to the phone itself deciding that the battery shouldn't accept any more charge and so stops accepting charge from the charging pad. I'll see later to nite after I run my battery down all day. 2. Blue LED, while cool looking (I love LEDs!) might be too bright for use in a bedroom, so you might need to cover it somehow. UPDATE: 11/21/17 I upped to 5 stars after using this with my iPhone X for a few days. It charges my phone well overnight, and I like the fact that it is a phone stand, m so I've got one on why desk as well as by my bed, and I keep the phone in the charger when I'm working. I don't know if the iPhone X (iOS 11.1.2) supports fast charging or if there will be an iOS update to support that, but for overnight and on your desk use during the day, this charger is just fine.

I really wasn't expecting wireless charging to be a big deal. How difficult was it to just plug in a USB-C cable before you went to bed? But wanting to take advantage of all the phones bells and whistles, I opted to buy this and I couldn't be more satisfied with the purchase. The size is perfect, not being too large or occupying too big a footprint. I like the option of using it flat or at a 30 degree angle which is how I use mine. I opted for the kickstand Samsung case and have had no problem with the charging. You do have to make sure you don't just lob it in place when it's upright because you could have a gap that might impede necessary closeness or contact. Using it flat you don't have that concern since gravity is your friend here. It seems to not be quite as fast charging wirelessly as opposed to direct plug in, but if you do it overnight, the extra time is immaterial. It's nice to have on your desk as well since laying flat since you can always keep the phone topped up that way. Though with this phenomenal battery, I haven't experienced any lack of juice for an entire day of active use. Glad they dropped the price. I like to not be an early adopter but wait a month or two after a product comes out because you almost always can enjoy a nice savings. Overall, if you have a Note 9, there are cheaper chargers but I prefer to go with the OEM company with expectations of the best cohesiveness and warranty protection as well. Highly recommended.

(REAL REVIEW) I’ve searched through wireless chargers and so many have reviews for what seem like different products even. Wanted to add some realistic feedback. I bought this charger along with the “BESTHINGS” wireless charger. Thought it’s be good to compare a $50+ wireless charger with a cheap $15 one. This is my first time getting into wireless charging and I have to admit, it’s great. It’s one of those things that you don’t realize you want or need until you try it. This Samsung charger feels really well built. The material of the back feels premium. My main concern was that the sliding ‘convertible’ feature would be clunky or cheap feeling. While it isn’t perfect, it feels really solid and not like something that will break over time. I also don’t imagine I’ll be moving it frequently, but the option to have both a pad and an upright charger is great. With an iPhone XS, it’s flawless. Both chargers let me place my phone vertically and within one second, starts charging. No fuss on placement at all. For landscape placement, the cheaper BESTHINGS requires me to move it around slightly and only accepts it moves off center. This Samsung charger has zero fuss. Place and go. Centered works well, and I haven’t had to adjust it a single time to get it to pick up. The range of acceptable placement has yet to not Instantly recognize the phone. Last, this comes with a removable usb-c cable AND a wall adapter. The BESTHINGS came with a cable but no plug. It has two charger wattage/voltage configurations it allows, and neither are common iPhone or Android plugs - but the iPad charger is close enough and works fine. This coming with the charger is awesome even though it’s most likely a $1 part for the manufacturer. All said - I’m really happy with this charger. Zero complaints with functionality, build, features, or what’s inckuded. The downside - this being $50-60 makes it SO much more expensive than others. Is it worth paying the difference? Maybe not. But it’s great having a charger that works perfectly out of the box without needing anything else or being fidgety. I’ll jeep this as my main charger, but would not buy multiples of this whereas the price point of the BESTHINGS charger at $15 makes me feel it’s a HUGE bang for your buck, despite the issues. This is great for your desk, beside your bed, or wherever your ‘main’ charging location is. I’d recommend cheaper options for your secondary spots - not because they’re as good, but because the value is extremely high for cheaper ones with this charger being perfect but pricey.

Good product. I mean original Samsung.

It took around 3.5 to 4 hrs hrs to charge my galaxy note 9 with 400mah battery.(the phone was switched on though). sorry, current update. its been 6 hrs ^ the battery got charged to 65% from 18% Pathetic performance amazon displayed the seller as hello yehlo, but the product was sold by oceanara marketing, delhi. Confirmed from local samsung outlet & SERVICE CENTRE, this device is not at all a fast charger. maximum output is 9 Volts, which Samsung says adaptive fast charger, with theoretical charging speed of 1% per minute, but in reality it never works !!!

Its very bad and its not working
