Although it might
seem that the popularity and a great assortment of wireless chargers should
make the choice much easier, it is in fact surprisingly challenging to select
the right one, so that you could have everything you are looking for in one
box. Don’t worry, we are here to provide you with a useful guide that will
simplify the task:
- The
first rule is always to choose Qi charging. Despite the fact that it might
sound obvious, there are other charging standards.
- Consider
power. The basic one should start at 5W. However, the majority of smartphones
support faster charging (up to 10W). If the charger output is less, your phone
will charge quite slowly.
- Pay
attention to the standard connectors that connect the charging pad with a wall
outlet. Some use not standard micro USB but some intricate jacks. If you don’t
want problems, try to avoid them.
- Check
if the charger you are going to buy comes with your wall adapters that can
provide enough wattage to allow it to charge at full speed. It would be a pity
if you invest in a charger that is capable of 10W while your wall jack allows
no more than 5W.
- Do
not forget about the brand. If your smartphone is expensive enough, you do not
want it to get burnt because of a low-quality charger. That is why it is more
reasonable and reliable to select proven brand names. Just to be on the safe
side.
- Decide
on the size and aesthetics. Wireless chargers now come in a variety of
different styles and sizes. Some are big, while some are rather small, some are
flat, while others will charge your smartphone at an angle. So, you should
consider where you are going to use it: some are better for a desk, others –
for a nightstand.
- Remember
about your personal style. If you like to stand out from the crowd, you can opt
for some weird shapes and materials.
