Let's charge together: 5 wireless charging stations for several places

Hoco mobile accessories are affordable and functional products with a modern design. The best confirmation of this is the Hoco CW23 charging station for two places.

The model has the shape of an elongated oval with two seats for compatible gadgets on the charging pad. The working surface of the device is covered with a layer of non-slip silicone, and silicone pads are glued to the back of the “charger” body - they help the model stand steadily on smooth surfaces. Before use, the charger must be connected to a power source using a flat, anti-kink USB C cable. The power adapter is not included in the Hoco CW23 package.

The charging station supports the wireless charging protocol for Qi gadgets. Smartphones running Android OS are charged on the device’s platform with a power of 5 to 10 W, iPhones replenish their energy reserves at a power of 7.5 W. At the same time, Hoco CW23 is excellent for simultaneously charging a mobile phone and related peripherals such as TWS headphones, smart watches, etc.

On the front side of the model's body two LED indicators are visible. During charging, they are highlighted in orange, and when the process is complete, they go out. The safety of the procedure is ensured by a comprehensive electrical protection system against power surges, overheating, overcharging and short circuits. Well, the best thing about Hoco CW23 is the affordable price of a dual charger. With regular discounts, you can buy it for literally pennies.

When it comes to wireless chargers, a device with an induction surface made of black tempered glass immediately comes to mind. However, the BASEUS Simple 2in1 Turbo Wireless Charger model looks much more impressive with a transparent platform for placing gadgets, through which the microcircuits are visible.

The station from BASEUS distributes 10 W to each of the two coils with a connection power of 24 W(the power supply for the model has these parameters). Wireless charging of compatible devices is established using the well-known Qi protocol, as a result, the model will serve as a “refueler” for most smartphones, TWS headphones, smart watches and even mice with support for the corresponding technology.

The body of the model is made of durable ABS plastic with a thickness of only 7 mm and dimensions of 160x80 mm. It has a non-slip silicone backing to provide better stability on the table surface. The built-in LED indication informs about the active operating mode of the charging station.

The BASEUS Simple 2in1 Turbo Wireless Charger comes complete with a 24 V power adapter and a USB C cable. The model does its job perfectly. When the battery of the “recumbent” gadget is fully charged, the device automatically goes into sleep mode to prevent the battery from overcharging and its premature failure.

The body of the ZENS ZEDC04 wireless charging station takes up minimal space on the surface of the workplace, while at the same time, two rather large smartphones with the function of refilling battery tanks “over the air” can easily rest on its “back”.

The charger fits well into any environment, whether it is installed on a bedside table or placed on an office desk. The body thickness of the “charger” does not exceed 8 mm, and the model is available in black or white colors to choose from. For clear positioning of charged devices, centering marks are engraved on the ZENS ZEDC04 station platform. Each charging point of the device has its own side indicator of operation with an unobtrusive white glow.

The model has acquired support for the Qi fast charging standard, officially tested by Apple and Samsung. Both channels of the charging station produce 10 W of power. In one of the slots you can “park” a conventional smartphone, the second place will serve as a haven for a second mobile phone, a case with wireless headphones, a smart watch, etc.

“Dressed up” smartphones are charged at the ZENS ZEDC04 station right in the case. The main rule is that the thickness of the protective layer of the cover should not exceed 3 mm, otherwise the magnetic field will not be able to penetrate through the thick “skin”. The device comes with a power adapter with a proprietary connection connector - you need to take care of it, since you can’t quickly buy a similar cord anywhere.

Charging the Prestigio Revolt A7 will suit owners of Apple devices: smartphones, True Wireless headphones and Apple watches. All gadgets from the list are charged at the station simultaneously.

The body of the model is made of gray metal, diluted with tempered glass inserts in the places where the charged devices are placed. The left slot in the Prestigio Revolt A7 design produces a power of 10 W and is designed for vertical or horizontal “parking” of a smartphone. If you use a case , the iPhone 12 Pro Max can only charge in a horizontal position. Other phones do not have such strict requirements.

In the central segment of the “charger” body there is a small area with 5 W wireless charging power for a case with headphones or a compact iPhone 12 mini. Finally, on the right hand there is a 2.5-watt induction surface for “recharging” Apple smart watches. Gadgets from other ecosystems are charged at the station using the widespread Qi protocol.

The model has an LED indication for each of the coils; the “charger” is connected to the network using an 18-watt power supply with a USB C cord. In terms of complaints about the Prestigio Revolt A7, the only thing noted is the easily soiled gloss of the case. On all other fronts, the charging station presents itself in an extremely favorable light.

The original charger from Samsung with model index EP-P6300 is used to replenish energy reserves in the battery tanks of mobile gadgets that support the Qi standard.

The model has a massive plastic case with soft-touch coating. The working surface of the device is divided into three zones: two larger areas are intended for a smartphone in combination with wireless headphones (or two mobile phones), the third area is for charging Samsung smart watches. But this place is not suitable for the Apple Watch due to the difference in the polarity of the magnets of the charger and the Apple watch.

The power adapter for the charging station provides power up to 25 W with support for Power Delivery technology. The unit communicates with the device via a USB C – USB C cable. One gadget accounts for up to 9 W of charging power, and for Apple equipment a maximum power of 7.5 W is available. During charging, the LED indicator on the station body lights up: red indicates a normal process, flashing red indicates an incorrect position of the device being charged, and green indicates the device is fully charged. You can dim the LED indication in the settings of Samsung Galaxy S smartphones.

Charging compatible gadgets on the induction surface of the Samsung EP-P6300 is possible in protective cases if their thickness does not exceed 3 mm. The model will help you clean up your desk and teach you to put electronics in designated places. It also fits perfectly with the modern design code of office or home premises.
