thanks for the video, my usb c has finally packed in on my pixel 5... absolutely sick and tired of usb C jacks tbh (they go on every phone I own), have just bought this and used your affiliate link... hopefully I get decent charging
A little corection, Pixel 5 can charge wirelessly only up to 12W, not 15. Also I know you tested the wattage with some tool, but the included charging adapter is only 18W and spigen itself states in the manual that it could provide a maximum of 12-13W power for this wireless charger (which is enough for current pixel phones). For unlocking the full speed of this charger you would need at least a 24W QC 3.0+ charging brick. To be precise you would need to see the charging speed directly from the phone, that is charging.... But overall this charger is fine, I use this charger myself for my P5 and it allows rapid charging, just not 15W.
Yes, you're more accurate with your statement. The tool I used draws 15w but certainly doesn't provide 15w as no where near 100% efficient using wireless charging.
Pixel 5 charges at 12w but you won't get that with a qc 3.0 as google uses power delivery not quick charge. Qc 4.0 will be the first one compatible with power delivery technology.
Could you do a follow-up video measuring using Ampere (Android app)? I know wireless chargers are historically lossy and I'd like to see how much charge is actually making it to the phone
Hey, thank you for this video, I just purchased one through your affiliate link, as my pixel 5 should arrive soon :) Could you please post the affiliate link for the USB wattage meter please, thanks?
With it saying fast charging I would imagine it's the same as the cable, I've just returned another wireless charger because it only charged slowly, it never said fast charging (which is the same message I get when using the cable)
@@Dinos0001 pixel doesn't use quick chatge, it's power delivery. 15w is 15w.... Increasing the wattage on one technology doesn't create a faster charge on another.
@@anthonyhage2832 yea, it's cool and it got some interesting features. But it is a little bit slow to charge (approx 2.5hrs to full). When I need fast charging, I go back to cable
@@pauldebono3695 I will be using this as a night charger so I guess speed won't matter too much for me. Thanks a bunch for the info bud, have a great week!
I just got this charger and its not fast charging for me, it either the charger itself is faulty or adapter the charger plugs in is not putting out enough power for fast charging.
@@debizzle3 Oh I see. Yes, in some regions you don't get a brick with the wireless charger. Mine had a 18W fast USB-A brick. For fast charging you will need any QC 3.0 "18W and over" brick but it has to be USB-A. If you have used any 10W or 15W chargers then it will be slow. I have also tried it with type-c to type-c chargers/cables and it doesn't work at all, others have reported that same on amazon uk. If you have already tried a QC 3.0 brick and still no fast charging, try lying the pad down and test putting the phone in different positions. My old Samsung s7 doesn't fast charge standing up, only if I place it in a very specific spot while lying down.
@@techable7524 mine did not come with one. I am in the US. When you connect it and start charging it, does it show "rapid charging" just wirelesly charging" maybe I got a fake one.
@@helme46 At first it says charging slowly, then after about 10 seconds it says charging, then about 10 seconds after that charging rapidly. You also need to go into the battery screen, then go back, and then go back in again for it to update.
@@howtoquicklynow Thanks for the help. Mine only says "Charging wirelessly" I wonder if it is the adpater I got. Do you have any other adapter that would trigger rapid charge?

Very succinct and informative video. Purchased this charger for my Pixel 5 using your affiliate link. Cheers.
Awesome, thank you!

Was going to buy this but the Amazon link you provided does not include the wall ac adapter.

Thank you sir! You're awesome! Here it is :-) amzn.to/2K3m8Kx
Welcome to the team. #teampixel
Will this charge as the same speed as the regular fast charge cable? Or slower?
With it saying fast charging I would imagine it's the same as the cable, I've just returned another wireless charger because it only charged slowly, it never said fast charging (which is the same message I get when using the cable)
It's a small amount slower (15w) rather than 18w max from the cable. I think they say "charging rapidly" for 15w+.
@@techable7524 The wireless charging speed is 12-13W with the included 18W charger. For 15W wireless charging you need a 24W QC 3.0 charger.
@@nathanrock9853 it'll charge it slower than with a wire .

Hi. Does it heat alot when charging your Pixel 5? Afraid it built heat up alot considering that it doesn't have built in fam inside
It does a little but nothing I'm concerned about.
can your run this off a power bank
this does not charge my pixel 5 with rapid charging just say charging ? any help plz bought thru the link you posted
does this work with the pixel 5a
Does it support adaptive charging?
This is exactly what I'm wondering
@@anthonyhage2832 it does. I ended up buying one
@@pauldebono3695 thanks for responding! Are you happy with the purchase? I'll probably buy one tomorrow I think

What phone have you got? Also, are you using the included brick?
@@Dinos0001 Pixel 5 and I dont think the US model comes with a brick, at least mines didnt!!

@@Dinos0001 Gotcha make sense
How long did it take fore you to charge your phone?
They really need to go back to the good old fashioned wall wort charger.... The 5v usb charger cannot handle all those amps, all the time...
what is the powe adapter you use?
The one it comes with! It is really great value for money!

It's Steadiboost mate not Speedyboost!
Yeah realised that after I finished the video haha!
@@techable7524 Also, good video!
I want this
