Review on πŸ”Œ ZHIKE 4 in 1 Wireless Charger: Fast Charging Station for Samsung S20/S21, iPhone 12, Galaxy Watch, and Buds by Ron Thomas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fixed, leaving original for transparency

First impression? It does what it says on the tin: all my Galaxy Buds Pro, Note 20 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 3 charged. The Galaxy Buds Pro and Note 20 Ultra had the lowest charge at the time of delivery, with the case at 60% and the phone at 87%. . The clock was at 98%. I just did a first test run to see the functionality. All 3 claimed charges started as soon as I plugged them in. Sure, the watch only needed 2%, but it didn't heat up at all. The phone doesn't get hot either and usually gets a bit warm when charging at 10%+. Buds Pro register almost no temperature change (feel in hand). What do I mean by title? I repeat, this product does NOT support fast charging. Like me, don't be fooled by the marketing of the 18W charger divided into 4 charging points. They claim 10W for the main body of the phone, but my Note 20 Ultra only registered the standard wireless charger, not the fast one. Because of this huge false claim about fast charging, I permanently deducted 2 stars from a 4.5-5 star rating. I will return it? I want to give it a week test to see it. I'll consider sacrificing fast charging in favor of a 3-in-1 product (I don't need the charging pad on the back right now). ADDITIONAL: After a few days, I started to see fast charging appearing on my Note 20 Ultra. I think if all items need to be charged then they all come with wireless charging by default. When they are close to 100% (meaning slow charging is enabled) or 100%, the phone can be charged quickly because the total power can now be preferentially applied to the phone. I'm still knocking 1 start for this charging method with nowhere to indicate that the device does this. I don't like it when a seller/manufacturer hides information about their product, thus preventing a full understanding of what it is capable of. If my phone never showed a fast charge I would assume it was either liars or a defective product and return it. I think I'll keep it as it ditched 2 chargers and 3 cables from my bedside table in favor of 1 charger and 1 cable (it's USB-C and I could just plug it straight into my phone if I was using it at full speed must be refilled). .
