Review of the Anker PowerWave Pad:
In the box:
- The charging pad
- Long USB 2.0 to Micro USB cable ( The cable is a bit in the thicker side)
- Some instructions on what charging block to use, very cool graphics!
Build:
- The build quality isn’t great, but it’s lightweight and very portable.
- The front and underside of the power pad is made of the soft same textured material, the side is just plastic, nothing more can be said.
Features:
- LED - a very subtle blue LED Light turns on when you place your compatible device on the charging pad.
- Supports up to 10 Watts of wireless charging power
- Very slim, light weight and portable!
Performance:
- After 5 minutes of charging, my phone and the pad starting heating up a little bit, thats just expected with wireless chargers in general.
- I’ve charged my iPhone X and Pixel 4 with and without my Spigen Phone case and found that the case did not make a difference. But keep in mind that, like with any wireless charger, the charging efficiency starts decreasing exponentially after 5mm or so of gap
Comparison:
The power pad is slim, I have taken several pictures to show you how slim it is, I even tried creating some contraption with my power bank since I had this cool angled micro usb lying around… I think Anker has released/will release a wireless charging power bank so … there’s no need for my contraption…
