Review on ⚡️ VIVI MAO Wireless Car Charger: 15W 10W Qi Fast Charging Auto-Clamping Car Mount for iPhone 12/11/11 Pro/Xs/XR/X, Samsung S10/S10+/S9/S8 by Walt Smirnoff

To me it's just a glorified phone holder

I first purchased this product over 2 months ago for two reasons; Wireless charging is #1 most important to me and #2 easy to learn and achieve. I have read many reviews about this product and thought I would give it a try after most people said good things about this product but now that I have tried it I am not impressed. I find it easy to install and it fits my sporty 2007 Honda Fit perfectly. Love how it lights up, changes color and has an auto open and close feature. However, I have a new Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and it doesn't charge at all in this holder! In fact it gets very hot and if I use two apps while driving while it's in the holder it gets too hot and disables one of the apps. Also, the 12-volt adapter doesn't stay fully in my car's outlet and pops out a bit when I hit bumps in the road. One more thing when I arrive at my destination I forget to take my phone out of the auto open and close holder before I turn off my car engine so my phone is hard to reach and I have to turn the car back just to close it to free. . I've found this holder to have so many small inconveniences for me that I don't even use it anymore, even though it's still attached to my dashboard.
