Wireless charger

[Android Central Question]

Newbie here, First of all hello to everyone and thank you for any help and advice offered, in advance.

So... after years of being on the dark side, I’ve finally decided to return to Samsung after becoming totally “dismayed” for the want of a better expression with Cr-apple.

I had an old S5 years back, but just couldn’t get on with it resulting In me giving it to a friend, who still has it to this day and refuses to part with it, as he hasn’t had a bit of bother with it at all...I got hold of an i6 plus, currently on my third after touch disease struck time and again.
Anyway, I digress....

My wonderful wife has just preordered me the S9 plus for our wedding anniversary present, after I point blank refused to upgrade to the i8 or X due to it being....well... you know....

My question is, is it worth investing in a good wireless charging set up?
Probably one for the home and possibly some kind of cradle for the car?

If so... could you recommend which ones are best, and which to avoid?

Thanks again guys

I got the new Samsung wireless charger as a free gift with my note 8 and I can honestly say my $15 Choetech one works much better. Glad I didn't actually spend $90 on the Samsung one.

Seconded. Also you can get this cheaply on Amazon.

I bought an aftermarket wireless charger at Amazon and still works great after 9 months and much cheaper than Samsung's charger.

Nice troll there on Apple which is a perfectly fine phone.

I love the idea of a wireless charger! I currently have a s5 but I don't think I can charge it wirelessly! Time to upgrade!!

 

[seedlessalex]

The wireless charging technology has come a long way! And the S9 is so adept for it!

 

[Ishan Bhatt]

Yes.. Samsung products are very good and also value for money..

 

[solozzzo]

True, I have Samsung products and they are better than those of other brands.

So for those who do/did have a Samsung device and a Samsung Wireless Fast Charger, how long does/did it take for your phone to go from 0-100% charge?

Samsung is the best

About an 30 minutes or so.

To my opinion, it's worth to invest for a good product.

 

[evernolasco191]

Definitely invest in a wireless charger set up. A lot of other brands offer cheaper choices than what Samsung is offering so you can look into those.

I would avoid any wireless fast chargers that don't have some kind of cooling. I've tried a couple of wireless fast chargers in my car that don't and sometimes they run hot so the charger will stop charging until it cools. Pointing the air conditioner at it helps, but there are times my passenger will aim it up as it's too cold for her. Either way, if Samsung pout a fan in their charger, it's probably because they felt it was necessary.

A little more than just 30 minutes. Maybe you had a typo. For me, going from say 25-100% takes closer to 1 hour 45 mins using the fast wireless convertible charger on the S8+

 

[Squarrow]

The leather convertible from SS is my favorite.

 

[Irisblu]

I prefer the Samsung wireless fast charger is better, cheaper chargers make my phone run hot!
