Even though it may not seem like it, wireless charging is actually very popular when it comes to charging our smartphones. However, now wireless chargers are even more popular with the release of the iPhone X and iPhone 8; that’s because they’re able to charge wirelessly as all the iPhones that have come previously weren’t able to charge wirelessly because they were made of Aluminum. So even though Apple isn’t the first to do most things, they hold a large influence on what people think and know, and in this case, many people have found that wireless charging is pretty cool.

There are many wireless chargers on the market but it can difficult to come by one that offers the best that Wireless charging has to offer. This Cubevit wireless charger is one of the really good ones on the market or at least that’s what it portrays itself to be. Since it’s supposedly “Fast Charging”.

Power

Output Charging:

When it comes to charging speed with wireless chargers, charging is quite slow. Just something to know before we move on any further, wired charging is actually faster than wireless charging, and this is especially true now more than ever. With many Android smartphones being compatible with either Quick Charge or USB-C Power Delivery. Heck, even the new iPhone X and the iPhone 8 are compatible with Power Delivery so they can charge at a very fast rate.

In most cases, many wireless chargers have a charging speed of 5V/1.0A, and that’s slow nowadays with wired charging speeds being much faster. However, this Cubevit wireless charger does indeed have Fast Wireless Charging. With most wireless chargers using a USB wall charger that has a 2 Amp charging speed, this Cubevit wireless charger requires that you use a Quick Charge wall charger. The use of a Quick Charge wall charger is what enables this charger to output faster speeds.

The fast wireless charging speed that I’m talking about is 5V/2.0A. Yeah, still not exactly the fastest charging speed that you can charge most modern smartphones with, but it’s double the speed that most regular wireless chargers are capable of.

Something important to know is that this wireless charger does not come with a Quick Charge wall charger, so if you want to make the most of the charging speed, you must be sure that you own one. Also, charging speed for the iPhones and Android devices are different.

The iPhone X and the iPhone 8 have a capped charging speed of 5V/1.5A (7.5W). While Android smartphones such as the Galaxy S8, Note 8 and a bunch of other Android smartphones that are Qi Wireless compatible are able to charge at a 10W charging speed or 5V/2.0A.

Input Charging:

This Cubevit wireless charger uses a Micro-USB input port to receive power, and as we mentioned before, make sure that you’re using a Quick Charge wall charger to provide the most power and to receive the fastest charging rate.

Design

Size and Weight:

This is a wireless charging stand so it’s ultimately larger than your run of the mill flat wireless charger pad. It has a height of 4.6 inches, a width of 2.5 inches, and a depth of 3.7 inches. The weight of this charter is 7 Ounces. Basically like all other wireless chargers, this one won’t be taking over a lot of space at all on a computer desk.

That said, because of the rather small height of this charger, Cubevit recommends that if you’re trying to charge a smartphone that is 5.5 inches over in height then you should place it horizontally as they’re too tall to interact with the top charging coil.

Functional Components:

Two charging coils? Yes! Most of the wireless charging pads have just a sigle coil and the coil is basically what’s able to do the wireless charging. So when there’s just a single coil being used you have to make sure that your smartphone is exactly in the center of the charger for it to charge wirelessly.

In this case, there are two coils with one being vertically angled at the top and the bottom is horizontally angled. This enables you to be able to place your smartphone vertically for charging, also horizontally. The charger’s stand angle sits at a 60-degrees, which really helps as you can better use your smartphone while it charges wirelessly, rather than have it face completely flat on a wireless charger.

At the bottom of the charger is where there’s a light that changes between Green and Blue. The Green light means that your smartphone is charging, and then the light turns off after a few seconds of charging your smartphone so it’s not disruptive while you sleep. While the Blue light on this charger means two things: either your smartphone is fully charged or it’s not Standby, and if that’s the case, then the Blue light will turn off after a few seconds too.

At the back of the charger is where you’ll find the Micro-USB input port and this wireless charger actually comes with a Micro-USB charging cable to power it.

Build

Structure and Material:

It’s a very well built charger. Even the bottom portion of where your smartphone touches is made of rubber so your phone doesn’t get damaged or scratched. The Bottom of this charger has 4 rubber pads that make sure that this charger doesn’t slide around when you put it onto a smooth surface.

Tech:

On the tech side, things are quite normal with heating up happening to your smartphone and the wireless charger, with both of those things being normal.

Reliability

This charger is not only reliable for all Qi compatible smartphones, but it’s also useful for charging them quite quickly. This Cubevit charger is capable of Fast Wireless charging with the use of a Quick Charge wireless charger. Therefore, you’re able to charge an iPhone X or iPhone 8 fast, and also Android smartphones quite quickly too.

Summary:

You just have to make sure that you own a Quick Charge wall charger to actually take advantage of that fast charging.

Design:

It’s easy to use and this charger actually uses 2 coils so you’re able to wirelessly charge your smartphones either vertically or horizontally.

Build:

The build quality of this wireless charger is very good, as it has a rubber pad where the bottom of your phone goes so it doesn’t cause any scuffs. Also, at the bottom are rubber pads that are able to keep the wireless charger in a single place on smooth surfaces.
