Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Finding The Ultimate Wireless Charger”.
Subject of wireless charging, i’ve been talking about wireless charging since 1947., really, no, because i’m a big fan of it really do you know this. I there’s a convenience thing. It’S just there’s no plug it’s the future, really yeah, so we should just all get with it. I think a lot of people’s experiences with wireless charging are not the same because of the variety of wireless chargers that are out there, because the coil setup is not always the same, depending on which phone you’re using recently the whole coil situation escalated greatly.
This device over here it got some press i heard about it. I ordered it up this from hard. Cider labs is a six coil wireless charge mat.
It can charge three devices at once. Downside it’s expensive. This thing is like 130 bucks. It’S got the matching. Mfi apple watch charger in there, so it matches this one. I brought this out in case, so maybe that’s already baked in and, as you can see here, this full area, they’re listing as active.
You can also add a stand like i don’t know. I ordered it anyway. It’S i guess to make the thing stand upright a little more.
How much does the price go up? If you add this well, it goes up 10 more dollars. I knew it wasn’t. Gon na be for everyone, so i also went on amazon at the same time and ordered up this guy, which is a five coil, dual fast wireless charger, and this thing is what 42.99 i want to compare the two see.
What we’re working with chances are, this one might be more applicable to most people unless you want the apple watch component and you don’t mind paying the extra. So, let’s unbox both of these this one, though, does come. I think in a couple different colors.
It does three different colors, that’s a good! Looking, that’s a good looking thing! This is like a a fabric, a weave and then this i guess it pops up yeah. So you can line the watch up a little easier, that’ll pop up like that or lay flat. Remember this one does provide 30 watt fast charge, so you got a brick to go with it all right.
So that’s the unboxing experience there. Here we have the budget version. This is almost exactly that this is wild. That fits right in there, where the five coils would actually be. This one has an led on the front, whereas the other one does not. This is a fabric weave, as i mentioned before, this one has a stickier rubberish feel to it, and the power brick is smaller here, so it probably won’t be able to deliver quite as much power all right.
So there’s your two packages. I should probably also just show you the stand while we’re here real, quick yeah that clips in there. Ah this clips onto here. I guess – and this will hold your phone in place – that looks disgusting. All right, you can skip the stand, no big deal uh. I just i don’t think that you’re gon na need to use the stand.
I feel it’s a bit too flimsy to stand. This doesn’t click on very well now this piece for the watch bends up, which is kind of nice as a little clock jack. You see what i would probably do, because i just wouldn’t even want to set it up like that is i’ll, probably just drop it on which also works.
Now we can go ahead and also take a phone, and can we just place it down? We can place it like that, still charging there, what if we’re really rude about it, let’s see how rude we can be um still charging it’s pretty nice, the target’s, pretty big, it’s a huge target and it’s all the way across the whole thing. So you could do this. Look at that two phones charging watch charging.
You know what’s interesting with this particular iphone. The camera bump is significant enough that if you get the camera on there, you might miss, because it’s just elevating the back of the thing. So you kind of have to line it up.
We have willy doo’s pixel 3. This one is easier to miss because it’s a smaller phone – oh that’s charging. Maybe it just also takes a little longer to initiate there’s charging.
So you still need to figure out your alignment. It’S not a complete no-brainer and i know you’re probably screaming at your screen right now saying yeah. Of course, lou you still you got to line it up sort of man.
I will say in this particular design. It is a bit of a no-brainer because of the shape of it. Anyhow, it’s a very expensive charger.
That’S why i brought the other one in here all right, so on this one all right now, the nice thing here is this one gives you a flash on the indicator on the led on the front as well. When you begin to charge all right, you ready jack, so you can see right now, no light you drop it on and the light goes on. You can see the little light go and you know that you hit the target correctly. I should also say this: one has a little more grip to it now, what if we hit it with the air pods charging orange light, look there’s a couple of options for you. This one is substantially cheaper. I think they’re going to be a big improvement over what most people are using for charging pads just by nature of how many coils they have available to you.
Picking up a couple of these is probably going to serve you better than one of these and you’re still going to have a little money left over after picking up two of these. But if you want to live the most apple lifestyle of the group, you’re charging the watch, you’re charging the phone you’re charging, the airpods .
