Many phones are compatible with the Qi standard, but wireless charging stations are rarely available in the box. Should you replace the cable with a wireless system? Are there devices that perform better than others?
A few years ago, wireless charging was considered a simple gadget, and since Apple decided to integrate it with the iPhone 8 and X in 2017, wireless charging has been receiving attention. Many vendors such as Google and Huawei have been there since then and bet this technology to build a wired world - who knows? - One day has completely disappeared.
Is there a difference in speed between the pedestals provided by each brand? Is the wired load really faster? We tested the Belkin Boost Up (54.95 euros) and the Mophie charger (44.95 euros) from Apple and the Samsung wireless charger Duo (99.90 euros, 69, solo version 90 euros). There are two kinds of devices that can be used as guinea pigs, iPhone XS Max and Galaxy Note 9. Will it crack wireless charging? The answer is as follows.
Significant technical differences
Why choose to use two different smartphones for this test? Just because not all devices on the market have the same amount of wireless charging. The specifications are the same (Q), but the power provided by these stations is completely different. It must be said that the iPhone uses a 7.5W charging bridge with 3 to 10W pixels and Galaxy 15W. Inevitably affects the characteristics of the charging time. But our goal is not to compare iPhone XS Max and Galaxy Note 9. 01net.com's lab is only interested in chargers.
Samsung's fans are different
The chargers Mophie and Belkin have one thing in common, their power is limited to 7.5W. Perfect for the iPhone, not a bit too good for the Galaxy Note 9. Samsung's charger installed him to 15W (only Galaxy can enjoy this feature) and can stand out... its integrated fan. His role? Cool your smartphone while charging.
According to the measures taken by the iPhone XS Max (remember not to use 15W), this small fan is different. It takes 3:25 to charge a smartphone with a Samsung charger, and it takes 3:17 for an Apple wired charger inside the box (only 5W, Apple only offers a quick charging option). The difference is relatively small, which is important, and the speed of wireless charging is not known. Mophie is not far away (4 points), and Belkin is terrible (5:03), loading the iPhone is too slow.
On the Galaxy Note 9, even if the device is charging faster, the results are still close. Wireless charging is much slower than wired charging (1:47 only), but Korean smart chargers outperform their competitors (2:38). Mophie charges the 4000 mAh of the smartphone at 5:24, and Belkin arranges him at 7:50, which is ridiculous.
How to explain such a big difference? Samsung's fans can cool the smartphone's battery without limiting the power supply. According to the measurement results of our software, the device can provide more power, and the smartphone will not exceed 36 degrees. The maximum temperature of Mophie (35 degrees) is almost the same, but the power sent is much lower. For its part, Belkin chose lower power and limited the battery temperature to 31 degrees. Excessive caution when cooling.
Samsung no doubt wins
When we started these tests, we wouldn't think we had such obvious results. With its fans, Samsung's fast wireless charger has destroyed all competitors with the iPhone and the brand's devices. Another advantage is that this charger offers refunds or major promotions, so we can often buy it for no more than 20 Euros. It's really hard to do better.
Should I buy a wireless charger during Christmas? Samsung's Qi foundation may be very fast, and it is still many years away from traditional wired charging (at least for Samsung devices). However, this technology provides indisputable comfort. Recovering maximum power in the shortest amount of time is not your top priority. Charging is mainly done at home or at work. Switching to this technology should not disappoint you.
