wireless charging s6 edge query

[michaelsalter92]

Hi all i have never used a wireless charger before and am looking for a decent cheaper option than the official samsung charger.

I see on ebay people are saying wireless receiver what is that ? Does my phone have the ability to wireless charge instantly from any QI charger ?

Cam anyone recommend one? Ps I do not use a case so that shouldn't be a problem

The S6 (all versions) supports both Qi and PMA. Look on Amazon for a charger plate that has an indicator that shows when the phone is charging (IO, when you have the phone placed properly). The TechMatte, at $19.99 will do just fine (and comes with a wall charger, so you can plug the charging plate into the wall without having to use your phone's wall charger).

If money is important, the GMYLE, at $7.99 will also work (you'll have to use the phone's wall charger to power it).

As for "wireless charge instantly", it will start charging within about a second of putting the phone down on the plate, but it won't charge a 50% discharged battery instantly. It charges at a little higher rate than plugging the phone into a computer's USB port does.

The powerbot pb1020 is on Amazon for 12.99, no power cube, but works well with my S6edge.
