Home Reviews ,,,,,With the holiday season upon us and possible long journeys by car, having a tool to recharge your smartphone immediately and quickly is a must: the Dodocool test, with many weapons at its bow, including support for the Wireless charging and Fast Charge.
How it's done
From an aesthetic point of view, the product is elegant and refined; not among the most minimal, but the Qi technology included in the charging base increases, game forces the size of the peripheral. All in all, however, it is not too bulky and does not differ that much from common car smartphone holders. It is made entirely of opaque black plastic, rather massive and sturdy, to accommodate terminals of various sizes. Of course, thanks to the two extendable fins, it will be possible to place large phablets, even 6 inches, on them. It could easily hold even an iPhone Plus, although the peripheral is optimized for gold wireless charging terminals.
The base with the suction cup is very minimal and elegant, which can be useful if you have a flat car dashboard, or for how much they want to use the car's internal windshield. However, the bundle also includes a coupling for the air conditioning vents, so as to make your charging station even more minimal.
On a constructive level, the Dodocool support is well done, as indeed many of the other peripherals of the same manufacturer present in the Amazon catalog.As already mentioned, although it may be suitable for holding traditional iPhones and smartphones, the support is designed for those who own a terminal with wireless charging.
As a top-up
It has a maximum output of 10W, therefore able to recharge supported terminals really fast. This means that those who are in possession of the latest generation smartphones, such as Galaxy S8, S7, S7 Edge, and others will be able to benefit the most from this charging tool. Of course, being equipped with a Qi strap, it can also be used to recharge smartphones such as Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, or other terminals with Qi support. The latter devices, however, will not benefit from the maximum possible charging speed. Indeed, during our tests we found charging a Galaxy S6 to be particularly slow. Probably even slower than with a traditional wall charger. The dispersion of wireless charging on these latter terminals certainly lengthens the charging times.
And then, in order to get maximum benefit from this tool, you will need to have smartphones with faster wireless charging technology: already with S7, for example, the charging themes are greatly reduced, and this Dodocool is actually perceived as a tool. valuable. The fact remains, however, that even with Galaxy S6, or similar terminals, you benefit from absolutely comfortable charging: just place the phone in place, between the two fins, to start charging, without necessarily having to insert the charging cable when you enter by car.
This is because it will be sufficient to connect the MicorUSB charging cable only once, to the base of the support, and then recharge the smartphone simply by contacting the Qi charging plate. A practical led placed at the base of the support will indicate the stand by status (green led) or the charging status (blue led). Furthermore, the ball joint on both supports, the one with suction cup, and the one for the air vents, will allow you to orient your samrtphone as you see fit, to be able to view it in portrait or landscape while driving.
Conclusions
The Dodocool car holder is first of all recommended for those who own a smartphone with wireless charging support; if you are not among these you can choose from other more minimal and economical supports. A completely different story, however, for those who have a smartphone with support for fast charging, such as S7 and S7 Edge: in these cases, although the charging times are slightly longer than a fast charging with wire, it is particularly useful. use of the holder in the car. During long journeys, in which you make several stops, you will avoid having to constantly connect and disconnect the cable.
The support costs € 35.99 and can be purchased on Amazon directly at this address.
