Samsung 15W Fast Charge 2.0 Wireless Charger Stand - Black (US Version with Warranty)

Let me start by saying, I rarely write reviews. Seriously, I read A LOT of reviews, but I never write them. Ironic I know. But I felt I should for this. I have been looking for a good wireless charger for over 2 years. I started out with the flat circular style and quickly upgraded to a stand type charger a few months later. The main problem I had was finding a charger that worked with an OtterBox. I refuse to own a smartphone that does not have a durable case. Every stand charger I tried would not charge through the case, I either had to remove the rubberized sleeve or the entire case to get it to charge. After about four different stand chargers from various brands and different degrees of quality, I had pretty much given up. Then last Christmas my wife gifted me the Samsung Qi fast charging wireless stand charger (2019 edition). I accepted it graciously but was in pretty serious doubt about it working, so I was delightfully surprised when I put my phone on it and it actually started charging! Finally I felt like I was catching up with modern technology! Not long after this I even upgraded my phone from the Galaxy s8+ to the Galaxy note 10+. Another phone, a new OtterBox, and it was still charging. My only real complaint about that charger was that you have to get it just right on the pad before it would charge. Sometimes this took a minute and several repositions. But it was a gift, it was working, and I was content. And then one morning my two-year-old daughter decided that the black round stand needed to be decorated.... In yogurt. Needless to say in 30 seconds there was sizzling, smoke, her laughter, and my tears. I was back to the dark ages of simply plugging my phone into a charge cord. Fast forward a few months to my birthday. My wife gifted me, a second time, this charger. Boy howdy, let me tell ya. I dont even have to look when I put my phone on the charger. It just starts charging no matter what position. As long as its close, it starts. The other Samsung charger had this annoying little curved lip at the bottom that was designed to perfectly fit a Samsung phone with no case. This meant I had to lean my phone forword and rock it back to get the exact positioning. Not so on this charger, its a nice flat little rubberized coated shelf. I included the pictures in portrait and landscape manly to show that it is fast charging. But I also included a picture that shows the phone leaning to one side and its still charging. You could never do that on the other charger. The phone doesnt get warm when charging, but after its fully charged it does not stay warm. I did a few charging tests and found that the battery temperature never got above 40 C (104 F). Which is good. Standard operating temperatures for most smartphones range from about 30-40 C (86-104 F). Those temperatures rise obviously, when you charge your phone and put cases on them. Mine usually runs about 32 C (89.6 F) with the OtterBox case and not charging. Temperatures of 50 C (122 F) or more can cause damage to your phone. So even while charging, my phone was still in the normal safe range. It is worth noting that wirelessly fast charging any phone is not as fast as using a corded fast charger. Androids fast charge wirelessly at 15 watts, which this charger does. I believe Apple only allows 10 Watts. It takes me about 2 hours 10 minutes to fully charge from about 10% with this charger. This is the fastest charge time I have ever received by any of the other fast wireless chargers Ive had in the last few years. Besides the other Samsung fast wireless charger I mentioned, which was pretty comparable in charge time to this one. I hope this helps somebody if you are trying to decide to purchase this product. I enjoyed it greatly and it meets all of my criteria. It is a little more expensive than some others, but I assure you it is and overall better product and totally worth it!

Fantastic. Easy to text and use without having to bend the charger cord if the corded charges. ( although I do use that kind at work if need ).

Having developed a habit of mistreating the charging connections, it seemed a good idea to move to a phone that allows cordless charging. This charger is fast. I am not sure how fast since it is never an issue. I eat breakfast using the charger as a convenient stand - either in landscape or portrait mode. By the time I leave for the office, my phone is fully charged. I tend to sit my Galaxy S21 on the stand for a while in the evening, but I have yet to come close to running out of power. I have a relatively thick case, which comes between the phone and the charger but that has been almost never been an issue. Once or twice I had to lift the phone and put it back on the charger, but then it worked fine. Overall, this charger has exceeded my expectations by far.

The charging is not as fast as using a wire but it is a convenient stand and charges through the Samsung slim case.

This is amazing. Seems like the only one that actually charges my Galaxy S20 FE at 15W

Works perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy S9!

I like this unit. It charges the phone just fine. I bought it for the following reasons. I purchased a Samsung S20+5G phone and I wanted a wireless means of charging. This appeals to me because if I need to use the phone while charging, just pick it up and there is no attached wire to fuss about. I was also concerned with the charging port wear and tear from simply plugging and unplugging the charging cable. Replacing the port would be quite expensive and eventually inevitable--to be avoided. This wireless charger eliminates that problem. There are two less than perfect aspects about the Samsung 15W Fast Charger: First, it is much slower than using the Samsung cable charger: about 2/3 slower. Second the enclosed power supply is a US unit and the plug pins are very different from the Australian standard. These are why I didnt give it 5 stars. However, neither are a real problem and by no means a deal breaker. Im retired with lots of time and slower charge is of no consequence for me. The charging power supply can be used by either purchasing an adapter from a travel or electronics store, or simply bending the US pins carefully and they will fit Aussie power sockets. The power supply is rated for use on 110 to 240V, so that is not a problem. Full confession; I chose to use pliers to bend the pins...it worked. Now you can scream at me!

These chargers are amazing. They charge in half the time and are super portable.

Charges current Samsung phones to include the S7 edge, S21, and iPhone SE. Works as intended even when phones are in protective cases.

Not sure if it is a common issue, as this is my first wireless charging pad, but it isn’t very fast, with my iPhone 11 Pro, and only seems to get to about 92%. Would be very disappointed if I had paid full price.
