Finding The Ultimate Wireless Charger

Subject of wireless charging, I've been talking about wireless charging since 1947. Really

No. Because I'm a big fan of it, Willy Do, you know this. Mm-hmm

There's a convenience thing, it's just there's no plug. It's the future, really

Yeah, so we should just all get with it. I think a lot of people's experiences with wireless charging are not the same

because of the variety of wireless chargers that are out there, because the coil setup is not always the same depending on which phone you're using

using. Recently, the whole coil situation escalated greatly. This device over here

it got some press. I heard about it. I ordered it up. This from Hard Cider Labs is a six-coil

wireless charge mat. It can charge three devices at once. Downside, it's expensive. This thing is

like 130 bucks. It's got the matching MFI Apple Watch charger in there, so it matches this one

I brought this out in case so maybe that's already baked in and as you can see here this full area

They're listing as active you can also add a Stand like I don't know I ordered it anyway

It's I guess to make the thing stand up right a little more how much does the price go up if you add this well

It goes up ten more dollars. I knew it wasn't gonna be for everyone

So I also went on Amazon at the same time and ordered up this guy

which is a five coil dual fast wireless charger And this thing is what I wanna compare the two see what we working with Chances are this one might be more applicable to most people unless you want the

Apple Watch component and you don't mind paying the extra. So let's unbox both of these. This one

though does come I think in a couple different colors. It does three different colors. That's a

good looking that's a good looking thing. This is like a fabric a weave and then this I guess it

pops up yeah so you can line the watch up a little easier that'll pop up like that or lay flat

remember this one does provide 30 watt fast charge so you got a brick to go with it all right so

that's the unboxing experience there here we have the budget version this is almost exactly that

this is wild that fits right in there where the five coils would actually be this one has an led

on the front whereas the other one does not this is a fabric weave as i mentioned before

this one has a stickier rubberish feel to it and the power brick is smaller here so it probably

won't be able to deliver quite as much power all right so there's your two packages i should

probably also just show you the stand while we're here real quick got that clips in there

ah this clips onto here i guess and this will hold your phone in place

that looks disgusting Alright you can skip the stand No big deal I just I don think that you to need to use the stand I feel it a bit too flimsy the stand This doesn click on very well

Now this piece for the watch bends up, which is kind of nice. As a little clock jack, you see

What I would probably do, because I just wouldn't even want to set it up like that, is I would probably just drop it on

Which also works. Now we can go ahead and also take a phone

and can we just place it down? We can place it like that. Still charging there

What if we're really rude about it? Let's see how rude we can be. Mmm

Still charging. It's pretty nice. The target's pretty big. It's a huge target, and it's all the way across the whole thing

So you could do this. Look at that. Two phones charging. Watch charging

You know what's interesting with this particular iPhone? the camera bump is significant enough

that if you get the camera on there, you might miss. Because it's just elevating the back of the thing

So you kind of have to line it up. We have Willy Do's Pixel 3

This one is easier to miss. I think it's a smaller phone. Oh, that's charging

Maybe it just also takes a little longer to initiate. There charging So you still need to figure out your alignment It not a complete no And I know you probably screaming at your screen right now saying Yeah of course Lou you still gotta line it up Sort of man

I will say, in this particular design, it is a bit of a no-brainer because of the shape of it

Anyhow, it's a very expensive charger. That's why I brought the other one in here

Alright, so on this one... Ooh. Alright. Now the nice thing here is this one gives you a flash on the indicator on the LED on the front as well when you begin to charge

Alright, you ready Jack? So you can see right now, no light

You drop it on, and the light goes on. You can see the little light go, and you know that you hit the target correctly

I should also say this one has a little more grip to it. Now what if we hit it with the AirPods

Charging, orange light. Look, there's a couple of options for you. This one is substantially cheaper

I think they're going to be a big improvement over what most people are using for charging pads

just by nature of how many coils they have available to you. Picking up a couple of these is probably going to serve you better than one of these

and you're still going to have a little money left over after picking up two of these. But if you want to live the most Apple lifestyle of the group

You're charging the watch. You're charging the phone. You're charging the AirPods
