I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...r=1-1&keywords=choetech+fast+wireless+charger
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
The fast charging works for a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, right? As far as I know that's a requirement as the new charger operates at a higher voltage.

It will fast charge at a higher voltage on a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, but will work at normal speeds on every other Qi enabled device, including our moto 360.

Seems they have a cheaper standard wireless charger for other Qi enabled device. Same design but cheaper at 20 bucks.

I have not tried it but I would assume with how well the fast charge one works, the cheaper one should also work to charge out watches without overheating them.
Interesting charger! Are wireless chargers efficient and as quick as cabled chargers? How long does it complete 100% charging your phone?

Just from experience, no science here.
A normal Qi charger will take about 2 times as long to charge your phone as a standard 2a charger.
This fast Qi charger is about the same speed on a compatible phone as a normal cable charger.
The fastest way to charge is with a qualcom certified quick charger and phone, that is significantly faster than a standard charger.
Think I'll pick one up,no overheating,that's worth it alone.
I found a favorite wireless charger on Google, because I haven't used it before, so I don't have any experience. I don't know if anyone here knows if this wireless is good. You can search azdome QI-NM80 on Google and help me judge. Thanks very much!

I picked up a Samsung Convertible pad from Amazon for $29. It was a Amazon Store return and was marked as like new. There wasn't a mark on it and still had the protective plastic film on it. I love it and it charges fine through my Otterbox case. It may be worth looking at the pre-owned original chargers that Amazon sells.
I got the official charger for S9/S9+ from Samsung (Wireless Qi Fast Charge Standing Samsung EP-N5100) and it's great. It has a cooler included in case of overheating, while charging (fast or not, the phone will get hotter than charging through cable). Phone will charge slower than doing it through cable (not by much), due to some part of the energy that it's transformed into heat, so the cooler is a good idea.
I fail to see the difference between this and the S8/S8+ and S7/S7 Edge Qi chargers.
I use the Anker Fast Wireless charger downstairs for when I want a quick top up. It works great with the S9 - low profile and 100% reliable. http://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01KJL4XNY/
On my bedside table I have an Elephas wireless charging stand - this one charges at normal speed, better for an overnight charge.
I love wireless charging and really missed it when I have a Pixel 2. It was one reason I moved to the S9.

Has anyone found any cheaper option or alternatives to warp chargers and cables? I know that I am able to get 15W using PD, but I wanted to know if it was possible? I was thinking on getting those cables that support Huawei and Oppo fast charging protocol and test them, but I realized that most of them uses 5A instead of OP 6A

Weird they worked when I posted:

Lots of options:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...in=y&SearchText=warp+charger&switch_new_app=y
I just both 2 sets (warp charger EU + dash cable 1m) with 13.28 $/piece. From China.
$19 shipped to the US. Just submitted the order
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000019048273.html
For reference, I purchased one of the Chinese second-party "original" warp chargers for the Oneplus 7 pro (specifically, this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-O...var=691546290084&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649). The Ebay one was $26.99 with taxes/shipping. By comparison, through the OnePlus website, a warp charger brick by itself is $29.99, and then a 100cm warp cable is $19.99 and a 150cm warp cable is $24.99. Plus, if your order is under $100, another $6.99 for standard shipping or $9.99 for express shipping.
I also purchased a device that plugs into the wall outlet and measures the wattage being drawn from the outlet by a plugged in device. With the warp charger that came in the box with my OP7P, at 20% battery, the measurement would show that it was pulling 36 watts for a couple of minutes. Once it got to the 35%~ charged area, it would drop down to 27 watts, then at the 40-50% area, it would drop down to 22.5 watts until about 80%, when it would drop to 17 watts.
I also tested the Ebay second-party OP7P warp charger I bought through that link. My guess is that all of the ebay sellers and the options from AliExpress are coming from the same, or similar place. With the second party warp charger, at 20% battery, the measuring tool would show a max draw of 28 watts. By 35-40% charge, it would drop to 22 watts, and pretty soon after that it would drop to around 17 watts (maybe at 50% or 60%). I ran this test in two separate buildings, with the same results.
I also noticed that the USB-A side of the warp cable that came with the Ebay warp charger didn't fit as smoothly into the warp charging block. However, it did seem to take on most of the heat from the charging as the warp charging block is designed to do.
Since the Ebay one does 80-90% of what the Oneplus warp charger does for half the price, I'm just going to keep it and use it and hope that some better, cheaper and effective alternatives come out in the future.
I forgot to mention, i both 2 US warp chargers with EU adapter plug.
The European warp it's more than twice the price. I both 1 earlier with 26 $, now it's above 28 $. Only charger, without cable!

Anyone found any good warp car chargers?

Or you could try this cool looking car charger with Amp and voltage display on the cable connector. Cool idea. But doesn't support Warp charging.

You can also buy a Chromebook USB type C charger from Amazon. I know the type C charger (has a three prong wall plug) that came with my Chromebook charges my Note 9 three times as fast as Samsung's OEM charger. Even without fast charge switched on.
I assume it will work the same for my OnePlus 7 pro.
So, yeah. Chromebook type C charger = OnePlus Warp Charger.
Just got this one for $22.48 from Amazon. Works great.

Bought the same one and it just arrived today.
Looks and feels a lot like the original charger.
I'd be hard pressed to tell which cable is the original if mixed up.
Who got the OnePlus Warp Charge 50 Wireless Charger ?
I am impressed. This thing charges very fast.
Just wish it came in black
I have to take the supplied case off to get it to work.... Waste of money to me, "ain't nobody got time for that"....

Thats very weird, I've no issues using the supplied case for it to work.
I got both the wireless charger and the OnePlus Buds as Three UK were offering both as a pre-order bonus rather than having to choose one of the other.
I just ordered it. I have a Dbrand skin on my Pro model so hopefully no issues.

I have the sandstone and carbonfiber-ish (aramid?) case plus a super thick silicone case and the charger works fine with all three.
That's so weird... Maybe I should return the base unit?
Edit - it seems to connect for a second, then when I rest it fully in the cradle it starts blinking red and doesn't charge.
NEVER MIND!!! I figured it out from this thread - https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/warp-30-wireless-charger-flashing-red.1228344/#post-21730493
I had stuck a metal plate on the back for attaching to my car mount. Apparently any metal on the back interferes with the charging. I took it off and now it works fine. Super face palm, thanks and sorry guys!
Am I the only person that thinks 50w wireless charging kinda defeats the whole point of wireless charging? For me, wireless charging is a hardware-sympathetic way to charge your battery slower without fatigue on the charging port, or to keep a phone topped off so you don't have to plug it in as often.
50w wireless charging is horribly inefficient because of wasted energy and will likely heat the phone's battery to a crisp. It would also charge way too fast to keep a phone in the 70%-90% sweet spot of charge while sitting at a desk.
I wish OnePlus would put out a 15w wireless charger, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Technically the OnePlus 9 Pro should work with 15w Qi chargers but I haven't seen any advertised as compatible so I'm wary (all I've seen claim to only charge LG phones at 15w).
Pro tip.. you can use the 30w wireless charger from the OnePlus 8 pro and get the same charging speeds! My OnePlus 9 pro charged from 0% to 100% in 43 minutes with the warp 30 wireless...

I can see how some people may view it at pointless but to me the idea of wireless charging is to drop wear and tear on the port. So whilst most of us do charge overnight where high speeds aren't needed. I also like to put on charge if I'm not doing anything for 10-15 minutes (grabbing shower, mowing grass etc) this ensures that I've zero issues with battery being dead later in the day.
Regarding other QI chargers, I also have this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Qi-Certified-Compatible-Fast-Charging-PowerWave/dp/B07DBXZZN3 on my desk which works just fine, haven't really taken note of the speeds it achieves but it certainly charges lol
I just received mine yesterday and it is AMAZING. If anything I could swear its even FASTER than the 65 watt charger that comes with the phone. Today I was going to top it off while I did my morning ablutions. I came back and It had gone from 58% to 100 in barely 20 mins, more like 15 mins. From what Ive read the phone battery stays cooler with this unit as well.

Aw damn, I bought the new charger. But now I have a fast charger in my bedroom and living room. Funnily enough, the 30w charger refuses to charge any of my samsung phones while the new 50w does. It doesn't charge my daughter's iphone either. But I could care less about anything apple and just tell her to get a real phone all the time. Whoa, that went off topic quickly.

Not just the speed charging the 9 Pro, but the versatility at charging other devices as fast as they will allow as well. Same for the brick, charges my S21 Ultra at it's max speed also. Very nice this time around the chargers are useful for more than just OnePlus devices. (I wish it came in black also).
I own a Oneplus 8 Pro and today I ordered the oneplus 50w wireless charger. I wanted to know if my 30w warp charger adapter would be able to power this unit

Works fine with poetic guardian case
Works great with the Unicorn Beatle case as well.
Works with any case I've had, even the Damascus dbrand skinned Grip case
Mine is on the way... to me.
Now i charge with 8 Pro 30w wireless charger. Is stupid fast. I have 42% battery. I left the phone on charger for around 15 min. almost 100%.
The 50w one must be faster. With cooler too.
First off: love this phone. Already selling my S21 Ultra. However, I found an issue that seems specific to the Pixel 6 Pro.
I have a ton of wireless chargers but most don't seem to push enough juice to even charge this phone. Which is weird, because they are capable of pushing at least 9W but in most cases, they don't even push 5W to the phone, even when the battery is <25%.
I have one fancy charger (moshi Sette Q) which can push 15W per coil--there I can max out at the Pixel's rated 12W if the phone is cool, but only until the battery hits 90 deg F. Once it exceeds that, the charging rate drops down to 7.5W or lower, and the predicted time to full charge more than doubles. Coincidentally it seems to hit that 90 degrees within mere minutes of starting the wireless charge. I'm measuring battery temp (not power) using AccuBattery, and power using various USB meters.
The same chargers, power bricks, cables push their max wattage to the S21 Ultra even if the Ultra is >50% charge. And just for kicks I tried my girl's iPhone 13 mini and it instantly hit its max charging power w/o MagSafe (10W, from what I can see). In other words, there's no specific evidence that there's any issue with my power bricks, cables, or wireless chargers. All are reputably branded and genuine parts and if they work with both the S21 Ultra and the iPhone 13 mini then you can probably rest assured they are not the problem.
So, it seems like the Pixel 6 Pro is doing some severe thermal throttling when wireless charging, and the upshot is that you barely ever get the full 12W Qi charging capability of the phone, and most of the time you end up charging at <7.5W.
Anyone else seeing this? If you're charging wirelessly, how's the experience? Does your battery hit 90 F in no time at all? Does it start to reduce Qi charging current once it hits ~90F?
If other folks are having a fine time wireless charging this phone, and you're getting that full 12W on the reg, I guess it's possible that I have a bum phone. Let me know what charger(s) you're using. But if you haven't noticed a problem yet, you might want to pay closer attention to your charging speeds to see if you're seeing the same thermal throttling.
If it's not just a bum phone, then this seems like a major issue. Big enough to force Google to delay the launch of their next-gen wireless charger, the new Pixel Stand.
I'm seeing the same. New Anker magsafe style charger is 3-4 watts... iOttie car vent gets it to 9-10...
Yes, same problem. I wonder if that's why we haven't seen the Pixel stand.
I'm using the original Pixel Stand and it seems to be charging at about 14W which is the max it can deliver.
I haven't noticed it getting very warm when charging but then I have been asleep
I have noticed a couple of times, lifting the phone off the charger in the morning, it was slightly warm. AccuBattery said it had been fully charged hours before that.
The phone is in a Spigen Rugged Armour case and I just leave it in it to charge.
how do you check the speed its charging at? Ill check mine overnight and see. I bought this one...

I'm using one of THESE and also have AccuBattery Pro.
One thing I found with AcuuBattery is it seems to assume the charging voltage is always 5V
So when I am charging it shows the current as 2.3A x 5V = 12.5W
Whereas the actual charge on the voltmeter shows 1.4A x 9V = 12.5W
Interesting. I just set my phone down at night on a fly-by-night brand qi pad I bought several years ago, and by morning the phone is charged full and ready to go. Don't know, or care, how fast it charges as long as its full by morning. The few times I've had to grab the phone after charging for a while, it hasn't seemed at all warm.
But I'm running on google-free nice clean AOSP. Might be that some of that google spyware is sucking up power faster than you can supply it?

The way I've been doing it is via a USB C power meter which is just in line between the wall wart and the wireless charger.
I also have a USBC cable that has a built-in power meter and I get similar results. Another thing you can do is just put the phone on charger you have, then go into settings and battery and just monitor the time estimate for charging. Do you ever see it advertise upwards of 3 hours of charging time or otherwise jump from something reasonable like 2 hours up to 4 hours?
It seems like there's two main problems. Number one that the wireless charging coils are extremely narrow compared to S21 Ultra. So the sweet spot is super small and difficult to find. Number two. Once the phone hits 90° f, then it is throttling the charging speed. And honestly, I don't know if that's a cooling problem or if that's just an overly conservative algorithm. Either way it's kind of ****ed up to advertise 12W wireless charging and then have this type of experience.
I've been using the app Inware to see the live amperage, wattage, and voltage.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about that one. I think the problem here is probably related to the overall charging limitations that the phone has. If you look at the other threads in this form, you can see quite a few that are related to slow charging speeds even when using the wall wart. But still this is extremely disingenuous from Google and straight up inaccurate advertising when it comes to charging speeds.
For those of you who have the old Pixel stand charger, IT WORKS !!!
All I want is a full charge by AM, and it usually gets a lil boost charge when I drive my sprinter.
About to look for a new wireless charger, but now using the 30 watt Google plug and cable and phone charges up faster than any I have owned previously, nearly all galaxies but the 6 Pro is noticably better, wired.
