A wireless charger that frees you from the hassle of connecting your smartphone to a cable. Recently, an increasing number of devices such as earphones and smart watches are compatible with wireless charging, and it is very convenient to have one near your desk or bedside. However, there are some points to keep in mind when choosing one, such as charging speed and compatible standards. This time, we will introduce how to choose the latest wireless charger.
The first thing to check is the “charging standard”. Currently, the standard for wireless charging is called “Qi”. Almost all smartphones that support wireless charging use this standard. More recently, Apple’s MagSafe'', which uses magnets for positioning, and the latest compatible standard Qi2’’ have appeared. If you choose a Qi2-compatible charger, your iPhone or Android will stick together magnetically, allowing you to charge at up to 15W at high speeds, so if you’re planning to purchase one, we highly recommend a Qi2-compatible model.
Next is “shape”. Wireless chargers can be broadly divided into “flat type” and “stand type”. The flat type does not take up much space and is easy to place. On the other hand, the stand type is convenient for watching videos while charging and unlocking with facial recognition, making it ideal for use while working at a desk. Recently, the 3-in-1 type, which allows you to charge your smartphone, earphones, and smartwatch at the same time, has become very popular.
When choosing one, it is important to note that not only the performance of the wireless charger itself, but also the output of the AC adapter that supplies power. Even if you buy a 15W charger, if the output of the adapter is weak, you won’t be able to charge at the original speed. We recommend using a PD compatible adapter with an output of 20W or more.
By introducing a wireless charger, you can prevent terminals from deteriorating due to plugging and unplugging cables, and keep your desk area neat and tidy. Please choose an easy-to-use model that complies with the latest standards.
