I Tested the New Hydra Bomb Garnier Face Mask

February 9, 2020 by admin

Today, we’re going to review about facial hydration with the new hydra bomb fabric Garnier face mask. The brand promises us the equivalent of a week of hydration with a mask that is put on for only 15 minutes! So, real hydration or marketing argument?

The Hydra Bomb SkinActive fabric masks are part of the Garnier Skin Active range. The range includes no less than three facial tissue masks, corresponding to the specific need of each skin. Thus, there are masks:

Super Hydrating Plumping Mask: this is the mask for dehydrated skin, which needs intense hydration and to is plumped up. This mask is enriched with pomegranate extract, reputed to be one of the most beneficial natural ingredients for health.

Click to view on Amazon Soothing Super Hydrating Mask: ideal for dry and sensitive skin. It is designed with chamomile extract, known for its soothing properties, it relieves feelings of tightness and provides intense hydration to your skin.

At first glance, I must say that the packaging is really very attractive, it makes you want. On each mask, a flower is represented on it, like chamomile on the soothing mask and green tea on the rebalancing mask.

Garnier face mask: Rebalancing Super Hydrating

The Rebalancing Super Hydrating Mask perfectly matches the needs of my skin. I tested it and the least I can say is that it is effective. The fabric, made of 100% natural cellulose fiber, hydrates like a compress.

This mask contains green tea, Hyaluronic Acid, and moisturizing serum to meet the various needs of normal to combination skin. Thus, it tightens the pores and provides rebalanced mattified and purified skin. I really like the pose of this mask which gives instant freshness to the face. Namely, you have to put the mask on with the blue film, which you peel off once the mask is on. It is a technique of installation different from the other masks in fabrics which I know, but it is rather practical.

I loved this mask, in addition to the very pleasant feeling of freshness, it did a lot of good for the skin. At the moment, I had patches of dryness, redness and visible pores. Once the mask is removed, my skin really looks better, it is smoothed, the pores clearly tightened and especially its dryness patches have simply disappeared. I think my skin really needed it because it absorbed all of the product on the mask, however, it is really soaked!

 

Soothing Hydra Bomb SkinActive fabric mask:

Personally, I tested myself the Garnier face mask recommended for dry and sensitive skin. I don’t have particularly sensitive skin, but at the moment, with the return of the sun and my allergy, it is becoming somewhat sensitized. This mask contains chamomile, hyaluronic acid, and moisturizing serum to meet the needs of the most fragile skin. Indeed, chamomile is a flower known for its soothing properties, it relieves feelings of tightness and offers intense rehydration accompanied by a pleasant feeling of comfort.

Again, it is a cellulose mask, which hugs my skin perfectly, it is not too small or too large, the size seems correct to me. It fits perfectly on the skin and I did not feel any tingling or burning sensation. 

As a result, my skin totally needed it! It’s amazing because I regularly put on masks, but my skin doesn’t seem dehydrated with the return of sunny days. I let it sit for 15 min, as indicated on the packaging. Following that, my skin completely absorbing the material, I hardly had to massage the excess material. My skin is smooth, soft, plump, and visibly hydrated. From there to say that it is for a week, I do not know too much, I doubt, but for the moment, it is very comfortable.

Samsung Galaxy S20: release date, price, features, photo and design

February 9, 2020 by admin

The Galaxy S20 is the next high-end smartphone from Samsung. Expected in February, they are shaping up to be the ultimate from the South Korean automaker. Datasheet, release date, price. We take stock of all the information available on the Galaxy S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra and stated our review.

Inspired by the success of its trio of Galaxy S10, Samsung will launch three versions of its Galaxy S20 in early 2020. The latest news, the successor to the Galaxy S10 should indeed be called Galaxy S20, and not Galaxy S11 as we could wait there. Instead of its usual nomenclature, Samsung is opting for Galaxy S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra this year.

The standard model would simply be called S20 instead of S11 Lite. The large-format variant would simply be called S20 +. For its part, the ultra-high-end version would be renamed S20 Ultra. Samsung has therefore decided to shake up its habits, probably to do a bit like its rival Apple.

When will Samsung show the Galaxy S20?

Samsung will present the Galaxy S20 on February 11, 2020, at an Unpacked conference in San Francisco. In the process, the manufacturer will also unveil the Galaxy Fold 2 (Z Flip), its second foldable smartphone. To believe the American site of Samsung which already allows pre-booking smartphones the S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra will be launched on March 6, 2020.

Weight 221 g 188g 164g
These reports state that the Galaxy S20 Ultra will be equipped with a 40 MP front camera and confirm the rumors concerning the other models.

Galaxy S20 prices: from 800 to more than 1300 €

The latest rumors are that the S20s will be significantly more expensive than last year’s S10 series. So, when the S10e was displayed at 750 €, the S20 in its 4G edition should be marketed between 800 and 900 €. The 5G version of the same model should cost between 900 and 1000 €. This is a game-changing price range for the “entry-level” model, which is felt on the other models, those with higher capacities.

Thus, the S20 + 4G (which succeeds the S10) should be displayed at 950 or 1000 €. Again, it will add a hundred euros to acquire the 5G edition. For the record, the S10 was marketed € 909 when it was released in March 2019.
Finally, the S20 Ultra 5G would be sold for € 1,300. It is not yet known whether a 4G edition of the smartphone is planned by Samsung, but if it were to see the light of day, it too should be marketed a hundred euros less than the 5G version, or € 1,200.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Price

What do we know about the 120 Hz screen?

This year, Samsung decided to stand out from the competition by opting for 120 Hz screens. Significantly, the 120 Hz screen would be offered on the 3 Galaxy S20s. The manufacturer will allow users to easily switch from 60 to 120 Hz via the settings. Samsung will set up three different options to manage the operation of the 120 Hz screen:

  • The complete deactivation of the 120 Hz screen (the rate remains at 60 Hz)
  • Activate high refresh rate mode and stay at 120 Hz
  • Activate high refresh rate mode and automatically switch between 60Hz and 120Hz

What SoC and how much RAM?

The American Galaxy S20 will be powered by Qualcomm’s SoC Snapdragon 865. The models sold on the European market will rely on the SoC Exynos 990 developed by Samsung. To support the SoC, the manufacturer will integrate up to 16 GB of RAM in its most premium variant, the S20 Ultra. The other variants can count on 112 GB of RAM.

What sizes for batteries?

On the design side, the leaks rely on batteries ranging from 4000 mAh to 5000 mAh. Samsung is also banking on a fast 45W recharge on premium versions (S20 + and Ultra). The standard variant could be confined to a 25W recharge, like the Note 10.

  • Galaxy S20: 4000 mAh
  • Galaxy S20 +: 4500 mAh
  • Galaxy S20 Ultra: 5000 mAh

What do we know about the S20’s camera?

Samsung will integrate a fivefold photo sensor made up of a main 108 Mp module into its Galaxy S20 Ultra. It would be the ISOCELL Bright HMX designed in partnership with Xiaomi. This sensor offers a definition equivalent to that of a high-end digital SLR camera. The other variants are content with a 64 MP sensor.

  • Galaxy S20: 64 MP (f / 1.5-2.4), 12 MP (f / 2.4) telephoto and 16 MP (f / 2.2) ultra wide angle.
  • Galaxy S20 +: 64 MP (f / 1.5-2.4), 12 MP (f / 2.4) 10x telephoto, 12 MP (f / 2.2) ultra wide angle, ToF camera
  • Galaxy S20 Ultra: 108 MP (f / 1.5-2.4), 48 MP (f / 2.4) 10x telephoto, 12 MP (f / 2.2) ultra wide angle, Dual ToF camera

On the front, Samsung would bet on a single selfie camera (10 MP) for all models.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra would have a quadruple photo module with the main sensor of 108 Mp, a telephoto lens of 48 Mp with 10x optical zoom, an ultra-wide of 12 Mp and a ToF sensor.
The S20 + would also have a camera composed of four lenses, one of 12Mp, one of 64 Mp, one of 12Mp 3x optical / 30x digital telephoto and a ToF sensor.

samsung galaxy s20 specs

 

As for the S20, it will have to lose the ToF sensor due to its configuration with three lenses. New rumors even suggest that the Ultra model will be equipped with a 40 MP sensor at the front.

All three will support 8K video at 30fps at the rear and 4K video at 60fps at the front. Their main objectives are placed in a rectangular module and are accompanied by a flash.

The leaker Ishan Agarwal recently published an image that represents the configuration and the two-tone design of the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ulta.

According to XDA-Developers, a stand-alone sensor has been added to the Galaxy S20. Why? To allow your camera to detect the number of people in the frame and switch to wide-angle mode automatically.

A patent is also said to have been filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) for a photosensor called Bright Night that has the ability to take high-quality photos at night.

Finally, Galaxy S20 smartphones could also take advantage of a Single Take mode to take photos and videos simultaneously via all the main lenses.

Samsung Galaxy S20: Performances

In Europe, the Galaxy S20 will be equipped with the Exynos 990 SoC, boosted by 12 GB of RAM for certain models, and a 5X LPDDR memory.

The Exynos 990 7 nm should allow a speed gain of 20% and would be able to support 120Hz screens and 108 Mp photo modules.

As for the 5G version, it will be equipped with a 5G 5123 modem capable of supporting sub-6 GHz and mmWave spectra.

In the United States, the Galaxy S20 should integrate a Snapdragon 865 processor that can support screens up to 144Hz with variable refresh rates, but also lenses with resolutions up to 200Mp.

It will also rely on an X55 modem for 5G with frequencies below 6 GHz and mmWave.

Whether the European or American variant, the two processors will have an LPDDR5 memory and 12 GB of RAM which should be installed on the S20 and S20 +, with up to 16 GB on the S20 Ultra.

Also expect UFS 3 storage options from 128 GB to 512 GB, with expansion up to 1 TB via microSD.

Samsung Galaxy S20: Design for the Galaxy S20?

Inspired by the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, the Galaxy S20 is enhanced by an Infinity-O screen with a hole replaced in the center. The AMOLED panel is surrounded by thin edges and a slightly thicker chin. Moreover, the edges of the three models are curved. On the back, the modules that make up the camera are arranged in a rectangular shape, as is the case for the Huawei P40 in particular.

Thanks to a grip on models of the S20s, it is possible to better appreciate the format differences between the three models.

Operating system

As for its software, we can also expect the Galaxy S11 to run on Android 10 Q, released in August, with the Samsung OneUI overlay.

Samsung Galaxy S20: Battery

Still according to Weinbach and its source, the S20 + has a range equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy S10, thanks to a 4,500 mAh battery. He also claims that the S20 + will have a 25 W fast-charging system.

Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S20 Ultra has a 5000 mAh battery compatible with a fast charge of 45W.

The Galaxy S20 could embed a 4000 mAh battery.

Finally, we hope that this new generation of Galaxy S will be compatible with wireless charging.

Anker Soundcore Pro: Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

February 9, 2020 by admin

Is Anker Soundcore Pro really waterproof?

Anker SoundCore Pro + portable speaker completes the range of SoundCore speakers from the brand whose SoundCore Boost we have already tested. Repeating the custom of providing you with most unbiased reviews we consulted with experts and tested the Anker Soundcore Pro ourselves.

The use of a waterproof Bluetooth speaker is suitable for all circumstances. With this multimedia device, you can perfectly listen to music or receive a call while in the shower. It is designed with materials that are resistant not only to water but also to dust.

The SoundCore Pro + is, however, presented as the largest portable speaker in the series. More powerful and consequently more imposing, but also heavier. However, it remains portable with a weight of 760 grams which commands respect.

Anker Soundcore Pro + first impression

Despite an IPX4 certification, which guarantees Anker Soundcore Pro resistance to water and dust, often synonymous with robustness and coarse lines. The design of the speaker is relatively simple although it is not covered with acoustic material.

Indeed, the enclosure consists of a structure in black anodized steel which forms the entire body. This absence of hydrophobic acoustic material also explains the only IPX4 certification of the speaker rather than IPX5 which would have guaranteed its immersion! Indeed, the enclosure is resistant to splashes but was not designed to resist total immersion. However, the all-steel structure, its finish, and the weight of the device give it an impression of quality that can be verified.

The only defect of this metal chassis would be its tendency to keep fingerprints as long as the hands are not perfectly dry.
On the other hand, the top of the speaker is made of a soft and rigid dark plastic like a lower strip that goes around the speaker and hides its connectors. This same lower strip highlights the lines of the product. It also provides a better grip than the aforementioned steel chassis. While on the front side we will find the aluminum logo of the brand. This contributes to the first impression of a neat appearance of the product.

  • Excellent Sound Quality
  • Cost-effective
  • Bluetooth Enabled

Connections and embedded technologies

On the top of the speaker just mentioned, there are the on/off control buttons, volume control, play/pause, and the Bluetooth pairing button.
These same buttons even offer more commands thanks to an ingenious multi-pressure system which prevents them from multiplying. In this way, pressing the play button twice quickly allows you to go to the next track. When pressed for a longer time it triggers Siri for Apple smartphone owners or any other voice assistant.

Anker Soundcore Pro: Design

We note here that the Anker soundcore pro does not come with an AC adapter. But only a micro USB cable for charging purposes. However, the latter is intended to be relatively quick, more than 3 hours, to fully recharge the enclosure after a complete discharge!

Besides after full charge, it is a total greater than the autonomy of 18h more than respectable advanced by the manufacturer that we have been able to verify since it is just more than 19h in normal use that the enclosure has assured us.
We will specify that we mean by normal use as an average volume and the taking of some SmartPhone calls. The latter has not been more greedy than reason with regard to the battery of the product.

 

Sound Production

Although its main argument is that of Anker soundcore pro power of 25W which makes it the most powerful speaker in the range. It was its realism that challenged us! If the Anker speakers have already been criticized for a certain tendency to distort a signal. But it is clear that the shot has been corrected!

The argument of its power also makes sense in that the speaker ensures very good sound diffusion. The bass highlights the feeling of fullness. Moreover, without pushing it to its limit, the volume provided is suitable and above all faithful to the imposed track.

Only in maximum volume, the bass could appear too dominant for some, and few kinds of music would seem more aggressive. This is an often recurring problem of nomadic speakers, but which is not at all alarming here. The power of the speaker precisely allows not to have to push it to its limits to obtain an already very loud volume.

In this way, the Anker SoundCore Pro + brings together all the essentials that should be expected from a portable speaker. Especially since they are sublimated by the power which gives it a configuration where its precision is noticed!

Some Other Models to Consider other than Anker Soundcore Pro

In addition, partially or fully submerged, some models can even be used underwater for a fixed period without suffering any damage. Outside by the pool and even in the shower, my speaker follows me everywhere. Below are our recommendations to help you choose yours!

JBL Charge 3 Waterproof portable speaker

With this favorite number 4, you benefit from a high capacity battery (6000 mAh) offering a sufficient autonomy of 20 hours. The JBL Charge 3 is equipped with: a USB port that allows you to charge tablets and smartphones, a hands-free kit for making and taking calls, and a frequency of 65Hz-20kHz which guarantees an aesthetic sound.

In addition, a JBL Connect option allows you to create your own wireless ecosystem connecting several other speakers equipped with the JBL Connect function. The JBL Charge 3 is also a waterproof enclosure (IPX7) which can be immersed in water. Consequently, neither rain nor splashes are likely to degrade it entirely or partially.


The JBL Charge 3 is compatible with a certain number of devices (Apple, iPhone, Android, etc.), in any case, the guarantee of sound performance of good quality. It is even possible to connect three smartphones or tablets at the same time for an even more enriching listening experience.

Waterproof Deepow Bluetooth speaker

The Deepow has IP67 certification. Mounted with a lithium battery (3000 mAh), it is solid (shockproof), water-resistant (waterproof), and able to resist dust. This type of enclosure is perfect for a holiday by the sea, at the pool, or for the practice of various water sports.

So you can really prepare to use it on any occasion. Its compatibility with Android and iPhone, with TV and other Bluetooth devices, testifies to the flexibility of use that it concedes. The quality also shows through in its acoustics. The speaker has dual drivers of five watts each and provides stereo sound. Autonomy level, it is not less interesting. You get almost 12 hours of music playback or talk time.

In addition, with a total weight of 322 grams, the waterproof Deepow Bluetooth speaker is quite light and fits in a mini format.

Choose your waterproof Bluetooth speaker

A Bluetooth speaker allows you to listen to music, without the bulk generated by wired devices. But, between the different models like Anker soundcore pro that exist on the market, it can be quite painful to make a decision to buy.

To choose well, you must, therefore, pay attention to a few criteria that I have grouped into four main points: autonomy, weight, sound performance, connectors.

Waterproof enclosure autonomy

For sedentary use, the autonomy of the device is not really a relevant criterion. It is the power that must be the object of particular attention. Note here that the power does not necessarily relate to the size of the speaker. There are mini-speakers on the market which offer an impressive volume of reproduction.

With regard to nomadic models, autonomy is decisive. In this regard, a good Bluetooth speaker is capable of holding on average up to 5 hours of the clock, at medium volume. The most efficient models have an autonomy of up to 10 hours or more.


Weight

The weight also constitutes a fairly important criterion in the choice of a portable Bluetooth speaker. For an optimal grip, it should be suitable for all kinds of manipulations. The recommended weight is approximately 650 g.

Connections available

In terms of Bluetooth speakers, the connection must be taken into account. Some models are equipped with Jack’s input. They allow you to save your autonomy by connecting directly to all types of devices. Still, others have a micro SD card slot or a USB socket for charging.

Performances

The performance here relates much more to the quality of the sound. For proximity listening, look for a musical speaker instead of a powerful speaker. This type of speaker offers a much more faithful audio reproduction. In this case, it seems more appropriate to approach the stores to carry out conclusive tests.

However, to have a better Bluetooth speaker in terms of quality, it is recommended to choose high-end models.

The different sealing standards

Standards guarantee the solidity of one model over another. The models available on the market like Anker Soundcore Pro have a certain number of capacities which encourage more or less optimal use of the device.


  • If your device has the IPX5 standard, you can use it in the shower or even in summer, around the pool without fear of water splashes and dust.
  • The IPX6 standard allows you to perform nautical activities. The enclosure is able to float on the surface of the water without hindrance. While the IPX7 standard promotes a total, but in reality, it allows the temporary immersion of the Bluetooth speaker in water. The duration of the immersion is estimated at 30 minutes.
  • With IP64 certification, your device can not only resist water and dust, but also shock and sand.
  • IP67 protection guarantees even more optimal use than the previous version. The enclosure is completely protected against water and supports both dust and shocks (shockproof protection).

Aukey Dash Cam Manual: Aukey dr02 Night Vision Dashcam Review

February 9, 2020 by admin

The Aukey Night Vision Dashcam has received a lot of positive feedback from its users, who advocate its many interesting advantages. We read the Aukey dash cam manual and reviewed the Aukey dash cam for you to provide you a most honest and unbiased review. Indeed, it has been rated 4.5 stars on Amazon, thanks to the multiple functions it has.

Aukey dr02 dashcam

It provides sleek image quality, even when riding at high speed. Added to this, the Aukey Night Vision Dashcam is easy to install. The advantage of the Aukey Night Vision Dashcam is that it provides good night vision and therefore does not need brightness to take a nice sharp video in full HD.

 Advantages of the Aukey Night Vision Dashcam

We installed the dashcam in our car according to the instructions given on the Aukey dash cam manual. As you may have guessed, the Aukey Night Vision Dashcam is a very good car camera, which has it all.

It is compact, easy to install and use and offers all kinds of advantageous functions. Now here are some of the many advantages of the Aukey Dashcam night vision car camera, namely:

  • Good value for money.
  • Easy to install.
  • Full HD video quality.
  • Good night vision.
  • It has a b angles.

Aukey dash cam manual: The test

Compared to the other camera already tested, it is not difficult to see that that of Aukey is better in several points:

  • 1080p vs 720p
  • 170 degrees vs 120degrees
  • Wifi vs no wifi
  • WDR technology vs no image enhancement

Afterward, there are still a few negative points (depending on everyone’s preferences):

  • No suction cup, but a self-adhesive part, so less possibility of repositioning after installation
  • No screen

The dashcam is of very good quality and the perfect finish, all the parts are very well assembled and fixed.

It is fully articulated at the level of the foot which will allow you to fix it on any type of screen, very thin like the old screens, you will even be able to position it on a table, your desk a piece of furniture.

On the front of the dashcam, you have the optics which are of very good quality, the 1/3″ CMOS image sensor, it captures your image in low light ≤5 lux very well.
While chatting with your correspondent you will be able to move because the image will remain clear from 0.3 to 5 meters, you have an angle of 55°.

As mentioned in the Aukey dash cam manual, you also have 2 possibilities to power this dashcam: either via the cigarette lighter socket or via the power table.


The recording formats are very good you have, 1080p (30fps), 720p (30fps), 480p (30fps), 240p (30fps), so as you can see a large choice offered by this dashcam.
The sound is still very good for a dashcam, if you make recordings you will have to increase the sensitivity.
The length of the USB cable is 2 meters if that allows you to position the webcam away from the PC, a real comfort.

Furthermore, WiFi cannot be deactivated.
On the video recording side, you mainly have 3 choices: automatic, loop, or motion detection. Once the MicroSD card is filled, the old videos are automatically overwritten. Videos are recorded with a duration of one minute each time.

By cons, when the camera is turned on at night, you have blue/red LEDs (REC and Power) that flash all the time on your side, which is a bit annoying, it looks a little cop or Christmas wreath …

The camera head can rotate 180°, which makes it easier to adjust the shooting horizontally.
In terms of video quality, it’s 1080p at 30fps, so the image quality is very good and the video smooth. The plates are illegible at a distance of about 5m I would say.

Aukey dash cam manual: The Cons of the Aukey Night Vision Dashcam

It is true that the Aukey night vision Dashcam is an excellent model of car camera, which has obtained many positive reviews on the net thanks to the advantages it offers. However, you should know that the Aukey night vision Dashcam still has some restrictive aspects, which have bothered some users and which represent a real disadvantage for some. Here are the disadvantages of the Aukey night vision Dashcam, namely:

  • Its plastic shell is quite fragile and can break easily.
  • it is not possible to adjust the video quality of the Dashman Aukey.

Conclusion

It is a dashcam with a quality/price ratio which is completely correct. 1080p at 30fps is the minimum I think is necessary to see the plates well in case you need them. No screen, but wifi, so requires a smartphone and Android or iOS to download the application and manage this dashcam.
Fixing with adhesive tape, so once glued, more difficult to refill.

February 9, 2020 by admin

In the smartphone market, there are more and more Qi-compatible charger i.e., wireless charging (induction) smartphones. We are going to review some models that might interest you, with our recommendations according to your uses and your budget.

How to choose your Qi-compatible charger?

Here is a list of criteria to allow you to choose freely your Qi-compatible charger.

Speed:

The charging speed is related to the power of the device while knowing that each phone has an internal limit. So it would be really great to have more than 10 W, but for the moment rare are the smartphones to receive more than 7.5 W. This is not annoying in itself, it just means that you will not use all the device capabilities.

POWER SUPPLY:
The Qi-compatible charger itself needs a power source. So check if it is sold with a cable to plug into the mains or with a USB cable?

WPC CERTIFICATE:
This is not technically essential, but this certificate is a way of ensuring that the charger respects all the standards issued by the WPC (Wireless power consortium), grouping together the giants of the telephony.

DESIGN:
The classic model is round and black. However we can do everything with a charger white, cream, pink, gold or any other color (rarer, but not impossible). The same goes for the shape which ultimately is not systematically round.
Furthermore, if currently, the standard is to place the phone flat on it, it is also possible to favor a charger that keeps the phone almost upright, that is to say, tilted, to consult it more easily.

MARK:
To avoid unpleasant surprises, whether it is a charger that does not work or a charger that damages your laptop, always favor known brands. It is not a problem that it is a Chinese brand, as long as it already has a certain reputation, that notices have been published on it and that it uses a known dealer.

PRICE:
Here the price is an indicator to avoid getting scammed. Indeed, do not buy chargers for less than $5. You won’t be able to charge much with it, the power will be ridiculous and the charging speed will be far too slow.
Also avoid the more expensive models, which often go faster than 5 minutes for double the price compared to mid-range chargers.

There are many models, but in terms of longevity and reliability, it is difficult to see clearly. We will select 4 models.

Other interesting Qi-compatible chargers

Most smartphones these days are compatible with wireless charging. From Samsung (which was one of the first to integrate it) to Xiaomi via Apple or Huawei, the latest models almost all incorporate this functionality which allows you to skip the tedious step of finding a wire in a dark room before sleep.

Aukey LC-C6: Our recommendation

The Qi-compatible charger is particularly light and fairly thin and wide enough to easily accommodate all types of smartphones. This is very practical on a daily basis. The Aukey LC-C6 has a quality finish with a coating that prevents the smartphone from slipping. Its power of 5W allows you to charge most smartphones compatible with wireless charging.

Aukey LC-C6

In most situations, the charger is very practical for regularly recharging your smartphone or headphones without having to use a cable. In addition, the price is really very good, and very attractive.

We recommend that you also use it with an Aukey plug, the PA-D3 model is also a great product and very complementary to any setup.

Belkin Boost Up: certified by Apple

The Belkin Boost Up was born from the collaboration between the brand and Apple, in view of cutting the cord of the iPhone since the latter started to recharge Qi. With its simple, all-purpose design, the Belkin Boost Up can charge your iPhone to 7.5W or any Android smartphone at a speed of 15W.

It is specially designed to avoid overheating and damaging your battery early. It also has a small non-slip circle so that your smartphone does not slip during the night, as well as a small discreet diode to indicate the progress of the recharge. Note that it remains perfectly functional if a thick shell protects your smartphone.

Xiaomi Wireless Charger 20W: Simple and good

It works as well with the brand’s smartphones as with Apple, Samsung, and other models, and it is one that currently offers the best technical specifications, all at an unbeatable price. The Xiaomi Qi is able to charge your devices wirelessly up to 20W. Although this induction charging power is only available on a handful of smartphones today, it is a guarantee of longevity for the future. Note that if you use it with a smartphone bridled to 7.5W or 10W, the Xiaomi Qi will reduce its power accordingly.

The 20W charger benefits from a successful finish to say the least. Not too big and all dressed in white, it fits well on a sober desk thanks to its sobriety and minimalism. It wants to be rather ergonomic, because of its non-slip surface, like the previous wireless charger.

Be careful to position the smartphone in the center of the charger. Moreover, detection is not perfect, unlike the previous model. The charger has a rather efficient ventilation system which prevents it from heating intensely, which is a very good point for this model of the wireless charger.

To summarize, it is certainly one of the best value for money of the moment, and with its sober and elegant design will go with any decor.

Samsung Charge Duo: Expensive, but terribly effective

Charge two QI-enabled devices at once, without tangled cables, with the Samsung Duo Wireless Charger. The output power of up to 12W, coupled with advanced Samsung Fast Charge wireless charging technology, ensures maximum charging speeds for your smartphones. You can charge your connected watch and your Android smartphone for example, or your wireless headphones and your smartphone. Overall it is a great product.

The product supports all Qi-compatible devices and allows fast and efficient charging every time with two charging cradles which allows you to charge two smartphones at the same time. It is easy to configure and use, and to set up.

Anker PowerWave 7.5 Stand: the most practical Qi-compatible charger

It’s one of Amazon’s bestsellers Qi-compatible charger, and for good reason. The Anker PowerWave 7.5 Stand is an induction charger in stand format capable of recharging your smartphone with a power of 7.5W for iPhone, and even up to 10W for compatible Android smartphones.

It is particularly reliable, thanks to its integrated fan, which allows us to maintain the correct temperature and to ensure a homogeneous recharge from 0 to 100%. The device can charge both your smartphone in portrait and landscape orientation to watch videos while recharging your smartphone, for example.

Had a block taken? Here is our recommendation

To charge and connect your devices, we recommend using the USB-A and USB-C block from Aukey, the PA-D3. With an adaptive recharge up to 60W, the product allows you to improve productivity and be even better in terms of charging.

The product has a dynamic detection supplemented by Aukey dynamic DETECT with the USB-C port which can restore the full power of the charger. The figures are as follows: it will deliver 60W when used alone and 45W when both ports are used simultaneously.

The different types of wireless chargers

Several terms are used by manufacturers and sellers. In some cases, this represents different chargers, but not always. After all the initial technology is still the same.

Car induction charger
It is mainly through design that the induction charger for cars stands out. So it has either a suction cup (to go on the windshield) or clips (to slip into one of the ventilation grilles). It looks like it could be mistaken for a classic smartphone holder while allowing it to be recharged at the same time.
On the other hand, the charger itself is often sold with a USB cable for its own recharging.

Induction pad
Pad is the English term used to designate the charger. It is neither more nor less than a standard or universal model. In fact, more and more often, manufacturers use extended names to designate them: “Qi induction pad, standard universal wireless charger”.

One way like another to satisfy everyone.

QI or standard induction charger
These are two terms for the same model, also called a universal induction charger, which is what is described just above. If on form and power there are different devices, in reality in principle they are all the same.

Universal induction charger
It is the base charger and its name is excessive. Indeed, not all phones are compatible with the principle of wireless charging, even with a universal charger. On the other hand, the chargers themselves work equally well with Android or iOS.

Triple induction pad
The term “triple” evokes the fact that the charger can receive three phones at the same time. This does not change anything during loading time or general operation. In general, on the top is drawn a plus sign at each place where a smartphone can be placed. These are models for which there is little choice at the moment, but there is no doubt that the more phones will accept wireless charging, the more triple chargers will be accessible.

Wireless Chargers FAQ

How do you use a Qi Wireless Charger?

There is nothing more simple because there is, in fact, nothing to do. The wireless charger must be plugged into an electrical outlet. Itself is not always a mobile accessory. And then just drop your phone on it. Nothing more. The charging time is generally a little longer than with a USB mains charger. However, the advantage is that if in a family some have an iPhone and others a Samsung, everyone can use the same wireless charger.

Does wireless charging reduce battery life?

No. There is no evidence that the best wireless chargers will damage your battery. One thing that was known to shorten the life of a lithium-ion battery is to keep it fully charged all the time. Or let it drip to almost zero before reconnecting it. Ideally, you should let the battery discharge about 50%, then recharge it to 90 or 95%, with occasional charges at 100%. Why? It is related to the functioning of the lithium-ion battery. And the fact that the more the battery is charged, the more rapidly the electrolytes in the battery degraded. The full scientific explanation would take a few pages, but that’s the point. So if you want to preserve your battery, don’t keep it fully charged all the time or let it drain to zero.
