Wireless charging

Does the V30 support fast wireless charging? (I'm loving this phone)

It sure does. Supports Quick Charge.

Funny thing is I use my wireless charger from my previous Microsoft Lumia 950 and it works great. Charges the phone up quickly and even works with the case still on it. So easy as I just place it there every night and "magically" it's charged the next morning.

I love it. I have a stand that stands the phone up so it's my bed side clock at night.

What chargers do you recommend? None on Amazon mention the V30

I just started using a Choetech T520 that was mentioned on another thread here.
Works great, I'm going to order another wireless charger for work....

Lateck,

They don't have to mention the V20 specifically. Any qi charger will work.

The v30 doest NOT support Fast QI wireless charging? Only the samsung s7 and s8 series support it. It does however have Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 but you must use a wired charger.

I found this.

Hmm..the new Qi wireless charging pads are 15W. The v30 is only rated for 10.5 watts. Not sure what this picture is showing. I have an 15w fast charging pad and i can confirm that v30 does not have fast charging. About 3:40 min to charge from 0, My s7 on the other hand does have fast charging and works fine on the 15 wattt pad.

Today I got this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6054984
Belkin 15 watt, and it is indeed Fast Charging. The fast Charging Icon appears and the time is considerably shorter (as shown on the display) vs my old TVLT VU wireless charger.

Any feedback? As far as how hot the phone gets, compatibility with a case, etc?

First Charge: 47% to 100% 1 hour and 10 minutes. So definitely not as fast as wired fast charging (Duh). It didn't seem picky as to where the phone was placed on the charger.The phone got warm, but not hot. I charged with a Spigen Liquid Crystal case on. One thing I like is the light that shows it's charging is on the top so if it bothered you at night you could just rotate the phone to cover it.

I don't see what the big deal is with wireless charging, you have to spend the money for a charger and you still need to plug in the charger.

Plugging in the phone to a charger is not a big deal.
Is it just the lazyness of not plugging it in and laying it on top of a charger? What am I missing?

It's really just a play on words. Wireless charging in it's curent form is more of a silly convinience. It takes an extra second to plug in your phone as opposed to laying it down on charging plate. True wireless charging should be coming in the form of WiFi charging which should get rid of the charging docks & cables.

Using a wireless charger isn't a big deal. You just don't have to plug/unplug your phone to a USB cable for charging. For me, I use it out of convenience. If you're fine with the cable route, more power to you!

I stream the radio on mine all night, so I just sit it on the disc I have, and point the speaker towards me, and I can hear it fine, and it charges all night. I like it for that...

One nice thing about wireless charging that you may not think of is less wear and tear on the charging port. I know many people who over time had issues with the USB port on the phone getting less reliable to take a charge via cable due to stress and bending.

 

[lateck2]

Cohoman's and Fwait's answers are dead on!
It's the ease of just setting the device on the charger and not "having" to plug in.

Lateck,
