How to choose wireless charger
Start with the standard: "Qi2" adds magnetic alignment and higher output than plain "Qi," and it decides whether you can reach the ~15W an iPhone supports. Check the output wattage separately from the marketing figure: a listing may claim "up to 15W" while your specific phone only negotiates a lower rate, so look for your model in the supported-device list. Match the form factor to how you charge: a pad lies flat, a stand props the phone up for viewing, and some units charge a phone, earbuds, and watch at once. Finally, confirm the charging distance covers your case, since thick or metal-plated cases can block charging.
How fake reviews show up here
For no-name wireless chargers, the listings that lean hardest on "Qi2" or "fast 15W" often collect a tight burst of five-star reviews right after launch, mixing unverified-purchase posts with short, generic praise like "just set it down" that never mentions real charging speed or heat. Incentivized reviews (a free or discounted unit in exchange for a high rating) can prop up the early average, while genuine complaints about slow charging or a warm pad tend to surface later as one- and two-star reviews.
Q. Will a cheap wireless charger actually charge fast?
Not always. A "15W" label depends on both the standard and your phone: to hit around 15W on an iPhone you generally need Qi2, and on Android your specific model has to be on the supported list. If the listing hides which standard it uses or omits supported devices, treat the speed claim cautiously and check reviews that mention real-world charging time.
Q. What's the difference between Qi2 and plain Qi?
Qi2 is the newer standard, adding magnetic alignment and support for higher output, which makes off-center charging failures less likely. Plain Qi still charges, but often slower and more sensitive to placement. Look for the standard clearly stated in the specs; if a listing only says "wireless charging" without naming Qi2 or Qi, it is worth treating the wattage claim with some caution.
Q. Can I charge through my phone case?
Usually yes for cases a few millimeters thick, but thick cases, metal plates, or built-in rings can block charging entirely. Check the stated maximum thickness and whether the charger is magnetic. If it will be your daily charger, favor models with many reviews confirming they work with a case still on.
