Home iPhonia iPhone Accessories ,,,,, Cyber Layman tests two Choetech wireless chargers compatible with the Qi standard, therefore also with iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR, iPhone 8, and all Android enabled terminals. The first we tested is a desktop charger, while the second is intended for charging devices in the car.
Choetech desktop adapter
First of all, how it is done. The Choetech wireless desktop charger stands out from others in the same category, due to its particular shape. In fact, it is not a flat pad on which to place the device horizontally, but it is a real dock, which also allows you to keep iPhone, or other smartphones, in a vertical position, so with the display always in good condition. view for the user, fully usable. Even without its main charging function, it allows you to keep the device tidy on your desk.
It is made of plastic materials, completely black, however of good quality, which give a feeling of solidity and robustness, even if overall very light. The device sits well, is very stable, and there is absolutely no risk of falling. The grip is excellent.
Technical specifications
As for the technical specifications, the Choetech wireless charger offers a 5V / 2A, 9V / 1.8A input, with an output power of maximum 10W. Its dimensions are absolutely contained, equal to 75.5 x 82 x 121 mm, with a net weight of about 135 grams.
Please note that in the sales package there is no wall adapter, that is the classic plug to be connected to the electrical socket. It is important to use fast adapters, compatible with the QC 2.0 or 3.0 standard, to achieve faster charging results, at least with supported devices, such as Galaxy Note 8, S8, S8 Plus, S9, S9 Plus and later. As for Apple's iPhones, the maximum charging speed is 7.5 W. As for safety standards, the accessory is CE, CE and RoHS certified, so it integrates protection for high temperatures, overvoltage, overvoltage episodes or short circuits.
Charging speed
We carried out the charging tests with an iPhone X, and lacking a fast adapter in the package, we used that of an iPad mini 4. The result does not translate into a particularly high charging speed, but at least the data are comparable with a standard wall recharge. In the first hour of charging, we were able to bring the device from 20 to 61%, while a second hour was needed to reach 90%. In about two hours, therefore, we have almost completely charged the device. For a complete recharge, therefore, the estimates arrive at about 2:40 hours.
It is interesting to note how it is possible to recharge the device wirelessly, without having to remove the original Apple covers, which are also particularly thick. This means that the Choetech charger under test will be compatible with most of the cases available for Apple's smartphones. Again, it should be noted that the charger uses two coils, so as to ensure maximum accuracy in charging, even when the device is not perfectly aligned with the edges of the support
Choetech car adapter
The Choetech car charger enjoys similar technical characteristics and offers a maximum charging speed of 7.5W for iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and others like it. Again, 10W charging is possible with some supported Android devices, such as Samsung S9, S9 Plus, S8, S8 Plus, Note 8 and others.
Also in this case the operation is based on 2 coils to cover the charging area more effectively. Also in this case the charging speeds are the same as that of the desktop adapter, but what most deserves attention is the particular design, which allows you to house the device, and remove it, with one hand. , embracing the device and keeping it in place.
The housing system is really practical and comfortable to use, even if the side arms end up slightly on the display, not leaving it completely visible at the edges. However, this is a small cons, absolutely justifiable considering the particularly convenient coupling system.
