Wireless charger is useless? No, you can't live.
I know that a large number of users think that "wireless charging" is useless, and the reasons are probably the same:
1. Charging is too slow
2. You can't play with your mobile phone
3 when charging. Is it really "wireless" charging? Then tell me why it is still wired!
is my personal observation (just guessing), and people who are confused about 1 or 3 problems are the same type of people who insist on not using PD fast charging, and who are sure that fast charging damages the battery, and insist on using "original" 5W chargers. And they may not know that the wireless chargers that are currently doing pretty well are already charging speeds like Apple's original 5W chargers, and some are even faster. As for question 2, I also think it’s fine. There are indeed some people who cannot do without their phones even if they charge their phones. I think this is actually not good.
There is one reason why I like wireless chargers: doesn’t need to spend energy and deliberately “implement” the charging action.
I don’t have to focus on charging. I can save about a few seconds of time every time I charge, and save a little attention. My feeling of using wireless charging is as follows:
- eyes and attention do not need to deliberately stare at the data cable and mobile interface
- one-handed charging action
- feel comfortable
It’s probably like you would choose to use a nine-grid or type on your phone? Of course I know that the input efficiency of the entire keyboard is higher, but I feel comfortable when I type with a nine-cup grid, because my eyes and attention don’t have to be deliberately placed on the keyboard to type without making mistakes. Even if I’m a little less efficient, I feel comfortable. What wireless chargers are worth buying in
?
1, flat lay wireless charger
applicable scenarios: when you have more idle mobile phones, such as in a long working environment in the office, or when you go to bed at night.
2, vertical wireless charger
Applicable scenarios: When using a mobile phone lightly, for example, when you go home from get off work, put it in front of your computer desk, occasionally you need to reply to WeChat, browse your Moments, and see the verification code. Vertical wireless charging can easily unlock facial recognition, and you can view mobile phone notifications without picking up your phone. You can use your phone lightly while charging, or even watch videos while charging.
My current usage status is as follows:
Put a flat laying style on the company's desk (Anker with fan), put vertical wireless charging in front of the computer desk in the bedroom at home (Aifu Open Things S1), put flat laying wireless charging at the head of the bed before going to bed (Xiaomi Wireless Charging Universal Fast Charging Version). If you don’t know whether to buy flat lay or vertical wireless charging, you will not make any mistakes when choosing vertical wireless charging in .
(The following are all wireless charging that supports Apple 7.5W. There are many wireless chargers on the market that support Android 10W and 15W, but they do not necessarily support Apple 7.5W. When choosing, you must be more clear about the commercial description. Of course, I still recommend you to buy the following models.)
vertical wireless charger recommended
1, Lao Qijia Ji Wuji Model 3 (dual coils without fans) 148 yuan
, I saw the name given by Lao Qi and began to wonder if there is another model called model S? There is indeed! However, the price of that model is 188 yuan, and the charging speed is almost the same as this one. I think it is not as good as the Model 3. For details, you can see the introduction of Lao Qijia. I personally recommend the cheaper Model 3.
As for why the first product is Laoqijia's Jiwuji Model 3, there are three main reasons:
, high appearance. 2. The charging speed is fast. 3. The price is cheap. The front panel of
is made of glass, and the back is an integrated aluminum alloy, so the color does not need to be confused. Currently, it only has black and looks very beautiful. The glass on the front is also simple anti-fingerprint treatment, and it will not get stained with fingerprints when touched, but there are usually white dust particles that need to be cleaned.
phone Wuji model 3
Regarding charging speed, the data section of the article includes charging speed comparison and actual measurement data, which is almost as fast as Anker wireless charging (with fan) for 369 yuan, and it is even faster in the first half of the charging.
accessories only have Type-C data cable
, but it should be noted that Ji Wuji Model 3 accessories only have one Type-C data cable, and there is no charging head attached. Model 3 supports two power-in protocols, QC and PD, and of course it also supports Apple's 5V 1A charging head, but the charging speed is not up to 7.5W. It is recommended to use it with a charging head that supports QC3.0/4.0 protocol . I tested it using a nut charging head that supports QC3.0.
Front glass material
There is only one C port on the back
Recommendation reason: charges very fast and has low heat. There is no fan and no noise. The most important thing is that the price is cheap.
Recommended index: ★★★★★
2. Aifu Open S1 vertical wireless charging (dual coil without fans) 269 yuan
It is undeniable that at the Aifu press conference, the S1 looked very similar to Lao Qi's Jiwuji Model 3 at first sight. Aifu S1 adopts a design of all-aluminum integrated body + front rubber pad. Jiwuji Model 3 is also made of aluminum alloy integrated, but the front of the model 3 is made of glass, which looks more sexy.
Aibo S1
The appearance of the side facing the machine Wuji
There is another important difference in the appearance of the Aibo S1. The super large curved angle on the side makes the aluminum alloy that originally looked very hard and has a more softer overall feeling, especially the multiple curves on the back offset the seriousness brought by the square front of the wireless charger.
side face is compared with
back comparison
back Aibo S1 is the same as Ji Wuji, Aibo S1 has a charging head. Although the texture is very poor, at least it was sent. The charging speed of Aibo S1 is not slow either, it is only a little slower than Ji Wuji Model 3 (the detailed data can be seen at the end). Although the Aibo S1 is more beautiful and the charging speed is not slow, the price of 269 yuan is not cheap.
Charging head provided by Aibo S1
Recommended reason: is currently the best vertical wireless charger I personally think, no one is there. The charging speed is also a first-class echelon, with good heat control and slightly more expensive.
Recommended index: ★★★★★★
3, Anker vertical wireless charging (dual coil with fan) 399 yuan
There are many wireless chargers on the market that support Apple 7.5W, ranging from 69 yuan to more than 400 yuan, but the actual charging speed is very different. In fact, the main reason is the heat dissipation problem. When the temperature of the wireless charger rises to a certain level, it cannot maintain a high output power to charge the iPhone, resulting in different final actual charging speeds.
uses higher specification electronic components (capacitors, motherboards, etc.) wireless chargers that can maintain high power output for a long time and charge faster. Anker uses active cooling fans, which is the fastest charging speed among all wireless chargers I have used, and can charge to about 47% in one hour.
Anker vertical wireless charging
The vertical wireless charger I use has been out. The reason is that in the quiet environment of the bedroom, the fan has a slight sound, which is a little noisy to me, so it is not recommended to use it before going to bed at the head of the bed. The rotation of the fan will not stop because it is fully charged, but will keep turning, unless you take the phone down, which is very uncomfortable.
fan port
In fact, the sound of the fan is very slight. If you use it in the office, you can't hear it at all. My own Anker flat-laying wireless charging is used in the office and you can't hear any sound at all.
If you are not sensitive to sound or the use environment is not particularly quiet, you can consider buying an Anker wireless charger with a fan. The charging speed is really fast and there is almost no heat. The disadvantage is that the price is really expensive, and if you are not sensitive to your budget, you can consider buying it.
Anker vertical wireless charging
I first chose to buy vertical wireless charging. I had no choice but to buy these two models from Anker, vertical and flat laying. Although it is expensive, the charging speed and heating are controlled very well.
There are not many vertical wireless charging options available on the market now. The best choice is Wuji Model 3, which has a moderate price and a fast charging speed. If you don’t lack money, you can also consider Aibo S1 and Anker. The charging speed with a fan is indeed faster and can maintain high power for a little longer, but whether it is worth it or not, you have to think clearly about whether it costs more than 200 yuan or not. I personally think there is no need to buy such expensive ones, which is not worth it. For the extra money, you can buy a set of PD fast charging set for iPhone.
Recommended reason: has good heating control, fast charging speed, but it has slight noise and is expensive, so you should consider it clearly.
Recommended Index: ★★★
flat lay wireless charger recommended
1. Aifu W1 wireless charger (single coil with fan) 99 yuan
If you don’t have high demand for vertical wireless charging and just need a wireless charger, then Aifu W1 may be the most worthwhile wireless charger on the market. Why can
be so high? There are two main points:
1, with independent fan switches. 2. The price is very cheap.
These two points are really important. I have used all wireless chargers, only Anker has a cooling fan. During use, the phone and charger hardly heat up, and can maintain high power output for a long time. Wireless charging without active cooling fans will increase as the charging time increases, and the wireless charger and mobile phone will heat up, and after heating, it will actively reduce the output power. The advantage of active cooling is that it can maintain a high-power output for a longer period of time.
Active cooling fan
Aifu W1 has an independent cooling fan switch. The reason why my Anker vertical wireless charging is that in the quiet environment of the bedroom, the fan will still be a little noisy. Aifu W1 perfectly solves this problem by adding a switch, and is also suitable for placing the bedside at night, turning off the fan and charging it all night, or turning on the fan to speed up the charging speed.
independent fan switch
This model was shipped before December 15th, with a pre-sale price of 79 yuan and a formal price of 99 yuan. I have not bought it or tested it. At present, it is recommended to purchase it is only based on personal experience. It needs to be verified after it is officially launched.
I can't appreciate the appearance
Recommended reason: has an independent fan switch, the price is controlled below 100 yuan, this is the first recommended model for the flat laying style.
Recommended Index: ★★★★★
2, Xiaomi wireless charger universal fast charging version 69 yuan
This model is probably the cheapest Apple 7.5W wireless charger on the market, and Xianyu's price is even lower than 50. There is also only one C port, only one C TO C data cable, and you need to use a charging head that supports QC3.0/4.0 to achieve Apple's 7.5W fast charging.
Xiaomi wireless charger universal fast charging version
Zimi also has a wireless charger that supports Apple 7.5W, priced at 99 yuan. There is also the first wireless charger launched by Xiaomi when it first released the MIX 2S, which costs 99 yuan, which does not support Apple's 7.5W, but supports Android 10W. I would like to emphasize it again! When buying wireless charging of , you should pay more attention to whether it supports Apple 7.5W. So what is the difference between these three Xiaomi models?
1. Xiaomi 69 yuan wireless charger has built-in CBB capacitors, which cost a few cents each, and has the worst durability. It supports Apple 7.5W
Xiaomi wireless charger universal fast charging version
2. Zimi 99 yuan wireless charger has built-in X7R capacitors, which is slightly better than CBB capacitors. It supports Apple 7.5W
Zimi wireless charger
3. Xiaomi 99 yuan wireless is built-in NPO capacitor, which is the most expensive and has the best durability. It does not support Apple 7.5W
Xiaomi wireless charger
so much. It mainly explains why it also supports Apple 7.5W wireless charger, can the price be so different? In addition to the difference in capacitance, also has the difference in the materials used on the motherboard and the difference in chips, which are ultimately reflected in the difference in heat dissipation. Heat dissipation is the key to whether wireless chargers can continue to have high power and stable output.
This Xiaomi model can clearly feel that the phone and charger are hot during use. Moreover, due to its small size, it is easy to cause inaccurate coils of the phone to fail to charge. One of the subsequent test data is that the charging speed is extremely slow because of the coils that are not aligned. This is why I have always recommended buying a dual-coil vertical wireless charger. Dual-coil vertical wireless charger can be charged horizontally and vertically, and there will be no inaccurate coils.
flat laying style may be inaccurate coil
Recommended reason: is suitable for bedside at night. Although it supports 7.5W, the charging speed is much slower than other ones that support 7.5W. You can clearly feel the phone and charger heating up after half an hour of charging. For specific data, you can check the last table. Since the price is only 69 yuan, it is recommended to buy it.
Recommended index: ★★★
3, Anker flat-laying wireless charger (single coil with fan) 368 yuan
This wireless charger I have used is the fastest charging speed and the most stable charging. The main reason is that the fan is well dissipated and the internal materials are sufficient, which can ensure that the wireless charger can maintain high power output for a longer period of time. Anker's flat-laying and dual-coil vertical wireless charging speed is the same.
Anker flat lay wireless charger
I have been using this wireless charger on my company's desk. I never felt the phone heat up during charging, and the charging speed is also very stable and fast. It is not as quiet as the bedroom at night, so the sound of the fan is not heard at all, which is very suitable for use on the desk.
The reason why the company does not recommend vertical wireless charging is:
Using flat-laying wireless can reduce the presence of the phone. After the notification message is turned on, it will not disturb my attention and will not be distracted. However, if it is a vertical wireless charging, the screen will be illuminated after notification, attracting the attention of the eyes, frequently interrupting the working rhythm, and reducing work efficiency.
Vertical wireless charging frequent screen lightening may interrupt the working rhythm
Recommended reason: is suitable except for the head of the bed. It has a fan that can actively dissipate heat. The fan sound is almost inaudible, but it is still not recommended to use it at night. The charging speed is stable and fast. There is almost no error in multiple sets of data testing, and it will hardly heat up when charging. It is good everywhere, but the price is too high, so buy it with caution.

Note 1: The charging head used by Xiaomi wireless charger and machine Wuji Model 3 is the QC3.0 charging head of Nut Pro 2.Since the Xiaomi wireless charging universal version is very small in size, there is a situation where the charging efficiency is reduced or the charging is not inactive, after three tests, the data variance is large. I guess it is because the coil is too small and misaligned. This line chart uses the optimal set of data (the most accurate set).
Note 2: I have tested the Anker flat style for many times and the data is amazingly consistent, very stable, and the other two sets of data are not marked separately.
Note 3: The test data of the mophie flat-laying wireless charging of Apple's official website was provided by a colleague. The iPhone XS he used only one hour of data for reference.
Note 4: The battery capacity of starts to charge from 50%, which simulates your usual charging habits. If the battery capacity is below 50%, I recommend using a PD charger with an original C2L data cable to charge, and the phone will be able to survive in half an hour.

Summary:
0 purchased iPhone half a year ago Since X, I have been selecting, buying and experiencing various wireless chargers. The ones I recommend above are already the most worth buying on the market, especially vertical wireless charging. Apart from the two recommended ones, there are really no ones that are more beautiful and have faster charging speeds (only for iPhones).
Android wireless charger is now 15W, but since many brands of wireless chargers have encryption protocols (Hammer, Huawei, etc.), they can only purchase their brand's original wireless chargers. Therefore, this article only discusses the most worth buying wireless chargers for iPhone, and the recommended wireless chargers that support Apple's 7.5W.
If you are also considering purchasing a wireless charger for iPhone recently, you can purchase it according to your own usage scenarios and my personal subjective comprehensive recommendation list.
