[buying decision] Prime Day Offer: Wireless Charger

[yamyam]

They are both capable of outputting 10W to Samsung devices. The main difference between the two is the top one is also capable of charging iPhones at 7.5W.

The top one is newer with a sleeker design as you can see from the pictures, but they are both powered by micro-USB.

@Insider Thanks … so it is only a design thing?

Your samsung charger is not enough to properly power those two wireless chargers

@Tank Are you sure?! It is not the regular wall plug which comes with the phone, it a fast charge wall plug. But don’t know if its Quickcharge 2 or 3 … but the fast charger wallk plug i have can output 9V at 1,67A … and 5V at 2A … so i guess you are wrong, because if i calculate it, my original Samsung Fast Charger EP-TA20EWEU can bring not only 10W … it can also bring 15W!

See here:

So am i wrong or you?

The powerwave can also send energy farther, which means you wouldn’t have to worry about your case getting in the way.

@andrewGholden374 Oh ok … but i am using very small cases and i have seen that both dont have problems if the distance is lower than 5mm

[yamyam]

This is the Samsung Galaxy S10 plus charger… It at least aimed at that phone.

I have it and it’s great.
I have 2 wireless stands, one is standard charge and the other is fast charge.

The one below is the best 1 for a Samsung, especially if you’re gonna get an S10. It also happens (thankfully) to be one of the cheapest options.

Wireless Charger, Anker 10W Fast Wireless Charging Stand, Qi-Certified, Compatible iPhone XR/Xs Max/XS/X, Fast-Charging Samsung Galaxy S10//S9/S9+ and More, PowerWave Stand (No AC Adapter) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DBXZZN3/?tag=cm-sales-uk-2019-21

So you also guess that my wall plug fast charger from samsung is enough for the anker wireless charger to bring 10W to my samsung? Got it correctly?

But as @Insider said … both seem ot be same, just different design and that the new one (top of what i posted in my first post) can also charge iphones at 7.5 which is not relevent for me and never will be.

So the only decision what i have to make is … which of both i like more (design) and do i want to spend 5 more bucks for the newer and maybe nicer design one or buy the cheaper one, which you also prefer:

Should be the one you mean, right?

[Insider]

it is only a design thing?

As I’ve already said, the differences are in design and the ability to charge iPhones at 7.5W.

[yamyam]

Yeah … so there should be no reason to buy the “newer” one for me and spend more money.
The “older” one is cheaper and doing the same.

Sure, the design of the newer one is cooler and i like the position of the light more, but is this worth 5 more bucks?

But thanks at all until now for your help and hints … i will see which one i buy, prime day still running for 3 hours here, so no hurry

Maybe @AnkerOfficial, @AnkerSupport, @AnkerTechnical, @ndalby, @TechnicallyWell wanna say soemthing in the next few hours to help me with my decision and the question if my https://www.samsung.com/de/mobile-accessories/travel-adapter-micro-usb-ta20/ will be ok for both posted chargers.

[Insider]

Understand that if it works with one, it will work with the other. If it doesn’t work with one, it won’t work with the other. You can always purchase and then return via Amazon/Anker warranty if it doesn’t work…

[MacBlank]

The one I suggested

One, will run of the Samsung brick (100% if using the one supplied with the S10) with the supplied micro-usb lead (comes with Anker Wireless)

Two, it’s about the cheapest fast wireless charger out there, plus you get ankers 18 month warranty, and quality.

[yamyam]

You can always purchase and then return via Amazon/Anker warranty if it doesn’t work…

Sure … thanks … but how will i see if its working?
Sure … i can check the time how long it needs to charge my phone, but is there any other way to see if the anker charger is charging low or high speed? (other LED color maybe?)

@MacBlank Can you post me a link to amazon germany not a picture please?
I wonder why it is showing 13,29 € at your picture while i have to pay 15,19€ and its even more expensive regular as this is a prime day offer … or are those not the same?

The link for the above one is: https://www.amazon.de/Anker-Blitzschneller-Ladest%C3%A4nder-Qi-Zertifiziert-Schnellladetechnologie-Schwarz/dp/B07DBXZZN3/

Post me your link and i can check if its the same… thanks!

[Insider]

is there any other way to see if the anker charger is charging low or high speed?

Yes, if the LED is blinking, it is charging slowly. If the LED is steady, it is charging quickly.

Edit: This is how older wireless chargers did it. The easiest way is probably just to see if your device says “Fast charging wirelessly” or not.

i can check if its the same

It is the same. His is certified refurbished.

[TheDude]

Pretty sure one of them requires quick charge 3.0 to fast charge at 10 watts and other is a little more flexible on power input.

Edit
@yamyam
Disregard my previous statement. Wgile that is true with other models the difference between these two is one is 5W and the other is 10W

First one 10W
Second one 5W

Get the first one

[yamyam]

His is certified refurbished.

Oh ok … overseen the refurbished info. Thanks!
So for 2 euros more i get a new one as prime deal today … not bad or?

First one 10W
Second one 5W

Get the first one

Are your sure?! … Because at amazon they also say the second one can do 10W with samsung, only 5W with apple - see:

Now, at the moment i was extremely close to buy the cheaper (old) model, you are confusing me

Maybe i should buy the newer model and invest 5 euros more to be on the save side?

[yamyam]

OK OK … DECISION IS MADE !

Thanks for all who helped and answered

To be on the save side and because it’s design is cooler and the model is newer … i just bought:

Maybe @AnkerOfficial will tell me in the aftermath if this was a good/better decision and if my Anker PowerWave 7.5 will work perfectly with my Samsung EP-TA20EWEU .

Happy Last Hour of Prime Day and Thanks again!

[Insider]

@TheDude only said that because you linked to a 5W model on Anker’s site…

Oh well.

[TheDude]

I didn’t look that deep into it. The name powerport wireless 5 confuses me, what a horrible name for a 10-watt charger… Why not call it the powerwave like every other Anker wireless charger? And why toss a 5 in the name?

Either way look at the input requirements and make sure you have the corresponding wall charger.

Problem solved.

EDIT

@TheDude only said that because you linked to a 5W model on Anker’s site…

Oh well.

Nice catch. Who da man? U da Man

[yamyam]

Everything is OK guys … as i have choosen the more expensive and newer Qi-Wireless-Charger, everything should be working and be just fine.

So let’s hope the LED is NOT blinking as soon as i am charging for the first time

[MacBlank]

While your S7 brick should be ok, your S10 brick will be perfect.

[yamyam]

Excellent

[yamyam]

Here we go!

[Alex_Honnor]

Get the more expensive

[yamyam]

Thanks, i did. Arrived some days ago as you can see above. But nothing changed

My Samsung Galaxy S7 Duos needs exactly the same time to charge from 15% to 100% as before with a noname Qi-Charger, exactly 2 hours and 28 minutes. And even if using original samsung fast charge wall plug.

So i guess it is the “old” fast charge plug, my upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 will probably have a much faster Fast Charge 3.0 wall plug, with this the anker power wave 7.5 will rock more i hope.
