A:AnswerThere are actually 3 models all at different prices but same charging rate. The cheapest lays flat, the middle price one is standing up, and the highest price one can be adjusted to everything from laying down to standing up. So 2 are static position, one is adjustable.
A:AnswerNot really.
This wireless charger will always need an outlet to be plugged into to work, so it's not a portable charger in that sense.
However, the charger itself is physically portable and so long as you find an outlet, you're good to go.
So you can take it to a coffee shop, for instance, but you will need to plug it into a wall outlet to charge your phone.
A:AnswerThe only differences are the size, conversion, connection and surface material. This charger is heavy and large but has the ability to convert from flat to standing and also has a leatherette surface that holds the glossy S8 and even the S7 so well an earthquake couldn't budge them. The charging speed is exactly the same as last years model and it comes with an identical AC adapter but this time it's powered by a USB type C cable just like the S8.
A:AnswerSounds like a bad charger id return and get another one ordered and try to charge it inside the store when it arrives in front of a representative before taking it home.
A:AnswerIt is the case - when you raise the charger vertical there isn't enough clearance at the bottom of the charger for the phone to sit properly and be propped up so the NFC chip in the back of the phone touches the charging base.
I had similar problems with a thicker case (not as as thick as an Otterbox), but when I went with a much slimmer case - no more vertical charging problems
A:AnswerYes, I read up on it and knew I’d probably need a super-thin case to charge this in; I KNEW this but somehow did not realize the difficulties involved when purchasing an all-glass, curved screen phone (S-8+). So there’s NO POINT in buying a case that won’t protect this phone, but I kept the charger and use it as a back-up. Yes, taking an Otterbox off each time — forget it. I have come to love the phone but I own ONLY cases that will protect it and that means, put the case on. Place phone DOWN ON A FLAT SURFACE. IF THE GLASS SURFACE OF THE PHONE TOUCHES THE FLAT SURFACE— DO NOT BUY THAT CASE! Good luck :)
A:AnswerMine turns off when done charging . If you have a case on the phone thats not compatible with wireless
Charging or if you dont put it correctly it wont charge. It has to be centered if flat. If you are using the stand position. Then just make sure its on the stand correct. The light will let you know if its charging or not. Mine wont come on till i place my phone in the correct position.
A:AnswerSupposedly once Apple releases the software update to allow "fast" 7.5 watt charging, this base will allow that. Blue light for regular charging and purple for fast charging.
A:AnswerHey Eric
I have the S8 (not the +). I have tested this gear's ability to wirelessly charge my S8 while in (3) different cases, one slim, one medium, one as thick as an Otter Defender.
It charged it in all three!
