Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023
First impression, it looks nice. It is significantly smaller than what I have been using (Samsung's official charging pad), and the metal kickstand seems stable and durable.
For my Samsung Galaxy S20 (with magnetic case), this charger works well as a kickstand, but delivers inefficient power. Due to its compact size, it heats up quickly while charges the phone slowly in standard charging rate. The phone surprisingly picks up the fast charging mode when enabled in the phone setting, but I can imagine the heat issue becoming worse.
For my Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 (non magsafe charging case), it always stops charging after a few minutes regardless of how I reposition the charger. It only adds 2-3% during my overnight charging. In other words, it never fully charges the Buds 2 to 100%.
I liked the idea and the versatility, but it does not work out for Samsung devices. I would keep it if it at least properly charged my both daily devices.
[update: from 3 stars to 5 stars] ESR team reached out regarding my review and sent a free replacement product (their wireless charger with a built in fan). Although that one is significantly bigger than any wireless charger I have used, I no longer have problem fully charging my Samsung devices due to overheating. Another difference between this product and the replacement is that the replacement uses the barrel type port for input instead of USB-C. I prefer the replacement product over this since I do not mind the fan noise, which returns a much better charging temperature . Overall, I am highly satisfied with the experience with ESR.
