As fast as cabled charging, but with the convenience of wireless

This product needs to be used with the new Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging power adaptor, that hopefully came with the phone when new. I think because it needs a higher power input to enable its fast charging capabilities. There are generic wireless charging plates available on ebay, which worked just fine with my old S3, but I found the S7 edge to be picky which chargers it would take power from. This genuine Samsung product can charge the phone wirelessly as fast as it can be charged with a cable (remember to enable 'Fast Charging' in the phones menu). I wore out the charging socket on my previous Samsung phones, so I'm happy to do without the cables now. I have one on my desk at work and one next to my bed at home. Samsung probably thought they were being helpful putting a status LED on this charger which is off when the phone is absent, blue when charging and green when charged, forgetting of course that the phone already has an LED for this same purpose. My problem with this is that the light is so bright that it makes it uncomfortable for bedside use. Not to mention the sound of the cooling fan in an otherwise silent bedroom... Its a great charger though, so I plan on recessing it into the bedside table to flush mount it invisibly.Read full review
