Say Goodbye to Damaged and Tangled Cables: How to Choose the Best Wireless Charger
In the era of technology, where every new gadget simplifies our daily life, one thing remained unchanged - charging cables. Perhaps you all recognize this scene: a damaged cable that sometimes charges, sometimes doesn't, so-called "tricking". Fortunately, wireless chargers offer to solve this problem once and for all. This is not just another technological novelty; it is a comfort that will make your life easier.
In this article, we will answer all the questions you might have regarding these modern accessories and help you find a phone wireless charger that perfectly fits your requirements.
What Is a Wireless Charger and How Does It Work? (Qi Technology)
Many think that a wireless charger is some kind of magical technology, but in reality, it works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Almost every modern wireless charger uses the so-called Qi standard. This is an international standard that suggests that phones of different brands (for example, Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi) be compatible with any Qi-certified charger.
The process is as follows: a coil in the charger platform connected to a power source creates an electromagnetic field; a second coil built into the phone's back housing captures this energy and converts it into electrical energy that charges the battery.
How to Choose the Best Wireless Charger: 5 Tips You Should Consider
The market is full of different models, so making the right choice can be difficult. Here are 5 main factors to consider before buying a wireless charger:
1. Power (Watts) - This is the most important factor. Power indicates how fast your device will charge.
Choose a charger that is at least 10W so that the charging process doesn't drag on. However, keep in mind that your phone will only receive as much energy as it supports. A 15W charger will still charge an iPhone at 7.5W.
2. Design and Shape
Wireless chargers come in two main shapes:
Platform (Pad): A flat surface on which you place the phone horizontally. Compact and ideal for a bedside table.
Stand: The phone stands vertically or tilted. This allows you to use Face ID, watch videos, or see notifications even during the charging process.
3. Charging Multiple Devices Simultaneously
A multifunctional (3-in-1) wireless charger is the best choice for Apple users. You can simultaneously charge an iPhone (7.5W), Apple Watch, and AirPods.
4. Does the Case Hinder the Charging Process?
A wireless charger transmits energy through almost all standard thickness (3-5 mm) cases. However, if your case is overly thick or you have cards on the back, charging may be hindered or not happen at all.
5. Safety Mechanisms
A quality charger always has:
Overheat protection: Automatically reduces charging speed if the device gets too hot.
Foreign Object Detection (FOD): If a metal object (e.g., keys, coins) other than the phone lands on the platform, the charger automatically turns off, which rules out overheating and damage.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Wireless Chargers
- Do wireless chargers damage the phone battery?
No, if you use a quality, certified (Qi) wireless charger. Modern chargers and phones are equipped with smart chips that constantly monitor temperature and energy supply. As soon as the battery reaches 100%, the charger automatically stops energy transmission. - “I use a wireless charger, but it charges too slowly, why?”
There can be several reasons:
- Low charger power, for example, if you use a 5W charger.
- Phone coils must match the charger coils exactly. If the phone is slightly tilted, this will hinder the charging process. (That is why stand-type chargers are often more effective).
- A thick case increases the energy transmission distance and causes a reduction in charging speed.
- Always use a fast charger adapter; if the wireless charger is 15W but the adapter is only 5W, the phone will charge slowly too.
- Where can I find a wireless charger cheaply and on installments?
You can purchase a wireless charger cheaply and with internal interest-free installments on Kontakt.ge - Is there a fully portable wireless charger?
Yes! There are two types of portable options:
- Power Bank that has a wireless platform. You can carry it with you and charge the phone without a cable at any time; it is especially convenient when traveling.
- MagSafe charger (for iPhone): This magnetic charger sticks to the back housing of the iPhone and charges it. Its portable versions mostly perform the function of a small Power Bank that you can always carry with you.
