Can you recommend a good wireless charger for the V30?

[jamielov]

For those that use the function, especially with a case on, is there a preferred wireless charger to use? I've never used one before so I def need some educating.

Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the link, nice start for people like me starting to evaluate wireless charging. What amazes me is how the prices have dropped. Guess I shouldn't be, it's technology and the only promise you get is it will be "better and cheaper tomorrow."

What kept me away was the fact I always use cases. But I am reading now that some of these are case compatible. I feel like I am going to need to do a trial and error to find the right one

I bought a pair of the Seneo chargers a few weeks back when they were on sale for $13:

They work great with my V30 and my girlfriend's S8 and we love that you can have your phone your desk and see the screen and have it charging without even messing with any cables. It's one of the main reasons I chose the V30 over my old Pixel and the Pixel 2 - great feature!

And the chargers are working fine with both our TPU cases. Although, we both use magnetic car mounts and we had to switch to smaller magnets (which are sandwiched between the case and phone), as the bigger magnets did interfere with charging.

Just bought the Samsung stand charger today. Works well with my V30 and wife's G6, even with cases. Won't be everyday use, as phone gets hot, but it'll be good for a charge here and there.

Just curious, is there any safety automatic shut off? I'm wondering what would happen with the phone getting hot if one was to leave it on the stand, say, overnight

Any good charger should have auto shut off when it reaches full.

I have this one and it works well (about twice the time to charge as plug in) and has auto shut off when full.

The Samsung stand has what appears to be a fan that cools it off if it gets too hot. But, not talking burn your hand hot. It gets no warmer than charging the phone while using it.

I have noticed a small tick with the Samsung stand charger though. Once it detects a full battery, it stops charging. That's good...but it then allows the phone to drain until it senses a charge is needed and turns back on. Appears to be at about a 10% discharge. But I'll have to test it more to see.
