Works well, fits all phones, has a quick charger

This car charger is pretty decent but the sensors are a bit confusing. Unlike most wireless car mounts, this thing comes with a QC charger, although it's a built-in car charger so you can't switch cables, and it doesn't have an extra port for you to plug in extra USB cables . There is also a spare cable in the box if you have your own car charger, but please note that you will need a fast car charger if you want to use fast charging. I will say that QC car charger makes charging much faster whether you use fast charging or not. Also, without a QC charger, there may not be enough power to fully charge your phone, especially if you have a thick case. That being said, I don't really recommend putting your phone on fast charge mode too often as it can damage the battery. So if you're using wireless charging, turn off fast charging on your phone unless absolutely necessary, which is what I want and that's what I do for my note 10 plus. . It also reduces heat and extends battery life. When I need fast food, I use fast charging. Wireless charging can get a lot of juice out of it, but be aware that the device can get a bit warm during fast charging. If all you have is a regular USB outlet, don't worry, it works, but you just don't get fast charge support. Even with wireless charging, if you plug in a Type-C or Lightning adapter to convert it to a headphone jack, you won't run into any issues. The clamps are automated and there is a sensor on the pad so it closes when you place your phone on it. The clip seems to have some issues with getting stuck or something due to clicking a few times before closing from time to time, but I haven't seen any issues with the clips. It also opens automatically when you start the car. When you want to remove your phone the sensor is on top and you just have to touch the sensor and it will open. The clip should release and you can remove the phone. If it doesn't, or you accidentally turn off the car, don't worry, it's easy to take the phone out and it should just go back to normal the next time you start the car. The only thing I didn't like about this clamp is that the sensors are a bit confusing. There's a sensor at the top, but it only works when there's a phone on the clip. IF there is no phone on the clip, to my knowledge the top sensor does nothing. In the middle is a sensor that actually detects quite a distance. So it opens when you put your phone in there, but it takes about two seconds to register. It should be noted that in some cars the car charger stays on even when you're not in the car, so you can also remove your phone in the same way, but this will drain the car battery over time. I don't have this problem but my friend had this problem with his car. It comes with a nice interesting vent mount. The interesting thing about this mount is that it has a bottom that you can use to prevent your air vents from falling off under the weight of the car charger. That's actually what I like most about this vent mount. It also has a suction cup. There is some gel on the suction cup to attach it to the dashboard. I don't really like them as they can break and fall off over time. They also leave a stain on the dashboard, making cleaning just a hassle. The clip slides out. So if you use a suction cup, make sure you place it in a spot where you don't have to lean forward too much to tap the phone. The charging time depends on which car charger you use and whether you use fast charging. I'd say I get between seven and fourteen percent of the charge (via fast charge) in about a ten minute ride. Load time with QC varies when using GPS and similar, while without QC it is the same. Charging time really depends on what type of charger you are using and if you are using GPS. If you are using a GPS signal, you may experience heat issues as the heat from the wireless charging screen can generate a significant amount of heat. I would again suggest closing the vent behind the clip to ensure it is not exposed to the heat, especially in cold weather. The clip and holder can support the weight of your phone, so don't worry about it falling apart. The only problem I see is that the sensor can sometimes activate even if you don't touch it. So make sure he doesn't drop your phone. All in all, this is a good cordless phone car charger. It offers stable charging and also gives you more hands-free settings, but I wish the sensors were less confusing.
