(REAL REVIEW)
I’ve searched through wireless chargers and so many have reviews for what seem like different products even. Wanted to add some realistic feedback.
I bought this charger along with the “BESTHINGS” wireless charger. Thought it’s be good to compare a $50+ wireless charger with a cheap $15 one.
This is my first time getting into wireless charging and I have to admit, it’s great. It’s one of those things that you don’t realize you want or need until you try it.
This Samsung charger feels really well built. The material of the back feels premium. My main concern was that the sliding ‘convertible’ feature would be clunky or cheap feeling. While it isn’t perfect, it feels really solid and not like something that will break over time. I also don’t imagine I’ll be moving it frequently, but the option to have both a pad and an upright charger is great.
With an iPhone XS, it’s flawless. Both chargers let me place my phone vertically and within one second, starts charging. No fuss on placement at all.
For landscape placement, the cheaper BESTHINGS requires me to move it around slightly and only accepts it moves off center. This Samsung charger has zero fuss. Place and go. Centered works well, and I haven’t had to adjust it a single time to get it to pick up. The range of acceptable placement has yet to not Instantly recognize the phone.
Last, this comes with a removable usb-c cable AND a wall adapter. The BESTHINGS came with a cable but no plug. It has two charger wattage/voltage configurations it allows, and neither are common iPhone or Android plugs - but the iPad charger is close enough and works fine. This coming with the charger is awesome even though it’s most likely a $1 part for the manufacturer.
All said - I’m really happy with this charger. Zero complaints with functionality, build, features, or what’s inckuded. The downside - this being $50-60 makes it SO much more expensive than others. Is it worth paying the difference? Maybe not. But it’s great having a charger that works perfectly out of the box without needing anything else or being fidgety. I’ll jeep this as my main charger, but would not buy multiples of this whereas the price point of the BESTHINGS charger at $15 makes me feel it’s a HUGE bang for your buck, despite the issues. This is great for your desk, beside your bed, or wherever your ‘main’ charging location is. I’d recommend cheaper options for your secondary spots - not because they’re as good, but because the value is extremely high for cheaper ones with this charger being perfect but pricey.

Great charger just a little Pricey
This is a great charger I actually have two of them one by my bed and another by my computer they charge great as far as using the stand up feature its not as great if you have a case on the phone with my "spigen tough armor" case it has to be just right and with my "otterbox defender" case its pretty much impossible The phone will charge faster if you use just the cord but I like being able to lay it on the pad and charge wirelessly. Alternatively if your looking for a fast charger for your Samsung device and don't want to spend $68 on the Samsung one or more than that if you get it somewhere else. The Laniakea wireless fast charger from amazon that's less than $17 works great I used it with my "Note 5" and my new Note 8 it doesn't have the internal fan like the Samsung charger does but its never overheated either of my phones or my wife's "Motorola Droid Turbo 2" disclaimer with the "Laniakea Charger" you do have to use your fast charging base included with your phone it does not include one with it just the micro-usb cord to plug into it, the Samsung one also needs a fast charging base but the Samsung one includes the fast charging base and the usb-c cord for it. I will include the pictures of my Note 8 charging on both with the same battery percentage and also a picture just using the usb-c charging cord and the link to the "Laniakea Charger" so if your looking for a good charger they are both great just depends on how much your looking to spend on it.https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Wireless-LANIAKEA-Charging-Sleep-Friendly/dp/B01K1US9UG/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1508362151&sr=8-15&keywords=laniakea+wireless+charger
