Are you bothered about tangled wires and lost charging cables? We have some good news for you.
Now, it is possible to charge the Qi wireless charging enabled device without connecting the device to a port or cable. It's pretty simple to use too. Just connect the device with its charging cable, put the back of your phone on the wireless charger and wait till the charging notification appears. For optimal performance, place the device in the centre of the pad.
However, its built-in LED indicator light shows a notification if the device needs proper alignment or when the correct charge alignment is acquired. You can use the device while charging – navigating music, reviewing notifications and answering calls without having to interrupt charging. Notably, this device can be switched into a charging pad or stand as needed.
It also comes with a spare Samsung Fast Charge wall charger. But keep it in mind that if a non-Samsung or Samsung charger below 2A is used, there is a chance to damage the wireless charger.
