Review on ๐Ÿ“ฒ Avankin 10W Qi Wireless Car Charger: Fast Auto-Clamping Air Vent Phone Holder for iPhone 11, Xs/XR, Samsung S10/S9 - One Touch Release! by Ynot Karlen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not suitable for drivers who like to make sharp turns

In general other reviews mentioning good attachment, easy installation on car and generally good performance are accurate so I'll refer you to them for details. about this device. The only thing I'd like to report is that whenever my Galaxy Note 10+'s G-Force sensors register more than 0.7g of side load, this thing flies back to where it's installed, in my 1991 Silverado, every time, 2005 Kia Sorento of the year. 2013 Cruz and 2015 Impala. There is a spot on the retaining ring to pull the rubberized clasp toward the vents where it feels tighter, but the grip wears off until it lets the thread through completely due to the weakness of the material. At maximum vented grip, I experienced the aforementioned limit in corners and the Avankin Charger didn't take off. 0.7g is the cornering hardness limit in my 1991 Silverado and 2005 Sorento, and every time I did a "forced flightโ€ the tires howled. . For reference: 0.7g is about the value where you and your passengers naturally feel uncomfortable when the turn is hard. I drive my Impala on a dial and routinely get into tighter corners than this particular car. It might find use in a truck or SUV, but it'll likely just be put back in the box. Charging is good, stable and the rest is well designed and functional. I do not recommend this as it can be dangerous in emergency maneuvers and situations. I'm particularly concerned about situations where it could fly away and then land the phone and device under the clutch/brake/accelerator pedals; Situations that require more than a second or two of jet driving. For this reason I docked it to 3 stars and cannot recommend it. It grips well off-road and on rough terrain, but god help you if you have to cut a wheel a lot.
