Amazon Basics15W Qi Certified Wireless Phone Charger Pad, Fast Charging Pad for iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11/X, Samsung and More, with USB Cable, Black

This product blew me away. I was on the skeptical side after reading some of the negative reviews, but I have never had any issues. The charger is very fast and charged my phone in 2 hours from <5%. That's faster than some of my corded chargers. The cord and charger are of very high quality and even withstood my cat biting at it. Unfortunately, it does not include a charging block/usb wall adapter, but as long as you use a block/wall adapter that can support the charger (I used a Samsung fast charging block), it works great. The product will even blink if you are using an incompatible block. The rubber on the bottom of the charger prevents it from sliding around, and the overall appearance is slick and great. The product took less than 1 minute for me to set up and is very easy to use. Overall, it's an amazing product for an amazing price.Regarding some of the negative reviews; I see lots complaining about how hot the product gets. My block and the charger itself did get warm after extended periods of charging, however, there are safeguards that will pause charging if either get too hot. It hasn't gotten hot enough to be worrisome or even activate the safeguards, so I am not concerned about it at all.

Great--works perfectly with my grandmother's smartphone! Makes her life easier: when she goes to bed she just places the phone down on the pad and it starts charging. She's 95, and while I'm constantly impressed by her ability to adapt to technology, I still try to make it as simple as possible for her, and this makes her life better.It is also convenient to have at my grandmother's house as a back up for the rest of the family--we have mixed Apple and Android users, and this works for both. If someone is running low on battery and forgot their charger, this is helpful to have!Worth noting, my uncle and cousin used it to charge their phones and claim it is slower than with their native cord plugged in--I haven't done a comparison test or noticed any difference myself, but I don't doubt that the wireless charging technology is slower than the wired (but I wouldn't assume this is a problem withe the specific charger, but rather the charging technology). For my grandmother, this makes no difference, but it could for others.

The 15w rating of this pad is a bit misleading as it is only rated for that for LG phones, which they haven't for 2 years. It's rated for 10w for Samsung phones, which it seems to hit with battery monitoring apps reporting a 1500-1700mAh charge rate (counting the screen on and monitoring usage drain of 300-500mAh ). iPhones seem to charge at the 7.5w rating (I cannot attest to the actual speed as it is a work owned phone). I use an Anker charger capable of 12v 1.5A 9v 2.22A /20W (ASIN B08WX99CYJ). A slow wireless charge is not a bad thing, especially as it doesn't feature a cooling fan. Using a Type C connector is a big plus as well, as many others from reputable brands are Micro USB, and allows you to charge a phone at fast charging speeds if necessary by quickly moving the plug.This pad is temperamental though, often times charging the phone for a few seconds to even a few minutes before stopping and flashing the green LED (error indicated). Picking up and replacing the phone in the same position will often allow it to work. Many reviewers have also mentioned this. It's not a problem if it's used on a desk where you're looking at it, but you do need to check it after a minute or so if you walk away to ensure it is charging.If you have the space, I would recommend looking at the stand version instead, ASIN B0874YN8B9. I have two of them. It charges at the same speed, is far easier to align perfectly centered, and doesn't have the same detection error issue this pad can have.

Works well with my Samsung Galaxy S23 phone and fast charges. It's a little on the larger size, but overall I'm satisfied.

How to get FAST Charging and not heat!I tried a bunch of different combinations of Qi chargers and receivers.One combination charged VERY FAST!Receiver:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZNP3Y76?ref=fed_asin_title&th=12000 mah QI Receiver Type C for Samsung Galaxy A51 - Type C Wireless Charging Adapter USB-c - Fast Qi Wireless Receiver Type CIt is made by YK YKING but if you put YK YKING in the above search, it doesn’t come up.Charger:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKXKYSMY?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1ESR for MagSafe Charger 15W Wireless Charger for iPhone 16 Pro Max/16 Pro/16/16 Plus/15/14/13/12 Apple Magnetic Charging Pad for AirPods 4/3/Pro/Pro 2 Galaxy S25 Series with Dual USB A/C Ports, BlackSurprisingly, it outperformed chargers rated higher than 15wIn addition, it is built MUCH BETTER than the other Qi chargers, much better/stronger/longer cable and magnet to hold whatever you put on it steady. It is smaller too.Part of the solution to getting best performance out of the charger is the power source you plug it into.To get best charging speed, you MUST plug it into a 9 volt 2 amp source. Less than 9v or 2a, not only will the charging speed be substantially reduced, both the charger and the receiver will run hot, since they are not getting enough power, so they are not running smoothly and consistently and instead varying charge and struggling to stay at optimum.Anyway, I hope this helps.Spent a lot of time, trying different Qi chargers and receivers, measuring charge rates and times and this one combination was immensely faster than all others! Almost as fast as a direct cable, instead of wireless Qi.

Charging port stopped working, this was a great solution. Works great.
