Wireless Charging That Doesn’t Suck - Qi 2

UPDATE: Due to a miscommunication, the discount on the Beryl AX is no longer active. Check out it's sister product, the Slate AX, through the link in the description and get an additional 20% off. Sorry for the confusion!

I prefer my wireless charger to be wired

The first time I seen an ad that was actually perfect for what I needed.
Netgear is expensive and my employees don’t take good care of them

adding qi2 to the growing list of examples of other brands copying apple innovations when android fans say apple doesn't innovate anymore

You can actually get Magsafe for Android on your current phone. There are circular magnetic stickers that glue onto your phone or case, as well as there may be magnetic charging cases for your phone. these work with Apple and Apple-compatible Magsafe chargers. I have a case like that and it is very convenient, because I have a Magsafe charger phone holder in the car. And a Magsafe charger at home. And they work mostly OK. Before that, my phone would often stop charging the moment I stop looking at it and making sure it charges, leading me to design and 3D print a special positioning frame for my wireless charger, that lines up that specific phone to within that ~1mm area where it actually doesn't refuse to charge. And I still did wake up to a not charged phone on occasion. How is that even a finished product, and not just a prototype? I wouldn't mind less efficiency, just add a fan and make it work within a 2cm radius of the ideal position or more.

Mark my words: The S24 Series will have Qi2 charging!

Please don’t tell me you really pronounce Consortium like you just did. 😂😂

I don't get the concept of wireless charging.... you cant use your phone while charging and in cases like apple's ring of magnet thingy where you can use your phone while charging, you might as well use a wire.

I thought Qi is pronounced as Ki like in Queen... I guess we can spell Cheese now as Qeese, saves a letter.😁

Holy macaroni! I'm amazed to see GL.iNet here! They've recommended in the privacy space for ages & I can personally vouch for them, their routers work great! I use them as a VPN router so that all my network traffic is encrypted & protected from ISP spying. Really happy to see them in a LTT video!

It would be cool if LTT did some more videos about privacy, I know they watch Louis Rossman & he is a pretty big advocate of this so their certainly aware of these issues. Maybe a review of GrapheneOS or the top 5 things to do to protect yourself from dragnet surveillance.

What is the physical limit of wireless charging?

I've been over here pronouncing out "Q i" instead of "chee" like some kind of pleb

Theyre multibillion company, they put money on making a new standard for wireless charging that noone use instead of using those resources making their phone repairable and actually innovate stuff.

Just a few days ago, Apple released iOS 17.2 which turns on support for Qi2 wireless charging for iPhone 12 up to iPhone 15

iOS 17.2 brings qi2 to iPhone 13 and newer

Other drm :D just for your safety 😂

iOS 17.2 is stated to enable Qi 3 charging on iPhone 15 and a few older models

Why is no one talking about phone cases in this situation?

Serious question: who needs this?
Only optimal if very close together? Just do 2 contac patches on the back of phone with mag safe cabling...

Nice discount.

Qi2 update is due for iOS17.2 on iPhone 14 and 13 models.

Is plugging a cable in that hard?

Hopefully car phone charges support Qi2. I don't wait my car to bake my phones battery, because of some weird compatibility issue.

All I know is, Apple raised the current on the iPhone 15 and of the only two decent phone only wireless stands that exist, their new versions are over $100. I ain't buying four of those! Gees!

I picked up one of those routers after the short circuit episode on it. I am seriously impressed by that little thing. By and far the most fully featured router I have ever owned

Why are people still pushing for wireless charging?

It's such a waste of valuable, POLLUTING energy (if it ruins the planet, AT LEAST USE IT FOR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF WASTING IT), WHY make it "the new normal"?

Hey, the coupon code (20AXT1800) of your sponsor (GL.iNet) is invalid

Wait, physical charging still exists?!

Wow magnets to align the coils, what a genius innovation! There's no possible way that my Nexus 5 had that in 2013.

it's going to suck until it gets faster and more efficient

I wonder if Lazor James remembers me...

The discount code doesn't work for me either. When you click the link the page shows a 34% discount. At payment - the discount code is coming up as invalid.

There are steel stickers you can buy to stick on your phone or Android case that will align magnetic accessories that are magsafe friendly.
And there are power banks and chargers that already output 15 watts.
You don't have to wait for "Qi 2"

Is Qi 2 backwards compatible with Qi?

Never had such problems with my xiaomi. It charges 50w in qi charging. I just don't use it all the time for the same reason I don't use fast cabled powaaaa

The bluf91 sp far is the onky phone that i know that does "reverse wireless charging" eitch is kinda useless but cool as hell non the less

You are wrong, Qi1 charging speed can be up to 50W like on some phones today.

Liked the video, disliked the standard. If you spend only a couple of hours near a me or a colleague you will instantly find out why magnets are the last thing you want around any of your electronics. Plain destruction. And the warranty won't cover it for you.
Bottom line - Magnets on Phones ARE STUPID. One of the many reasons I will never own an ip-phone.

wait my infinix note 30 vip racing edition has 50 watt wireless. If qi 1 only pushes 15 watts..what kind of wireless protocol does my phone use?

I don't really understand all the fuzz, I never had a problem with wireless charging with Samsung...only thing is it's slow, so nice to see more than 15W I guess...

Speed, alignment and compatibility are, in my experience, non-issues when it comes to wireless charging! 😂 If I need my thing to charge fast I unplug the wireless charger and connect the wire to my thing directly, in about 2 years of usage alignment has only been an issue maybe twice and is easily remidied and either a device supports wireless charging or it doesn't!

What I'd like to see fixed is the horrible battery degradation that proximity to magnetic fields while charging causes. Once that is fixed, wireless charging will be my go-to.

I understand that there are more people who speak a different language than English in the world, but can't we agree that the letter "Q" should NEVER be pronounced "chee?!"

Cool !

Who wouldve thought that the way to make wireless chargers better is to make them less wireless

gotta love apple. part of the group of companies that come up with a standard but then say cheers guys im gonna proprietary the f out of this.

When are we going to get wireless charging for EVs?

I wonder, how the charging connection is so delicate with some devices. My 6 years old phone never had the slightest issues with my no-name wireless chargers. I got 3 different ones, never any issue. Gotta mention though, those are rectangular upright chargers, where it's easy to place the phone properly and it won't slip.
But also, I have an old inductive charging plate for cooking. It keeps working with the pan even when it's halfway off the plate, why is this so complicated with phones?

Some nerdy stuff about it, for whom might care: I don't sleep in a normal bed, I built a large box for that. A completely closed box, with ventilation system. It is gorgeous, as you never get annoyed by light or noise. So since my phone might be old, but has an always on display (trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 8), it always shows the time and notifications. Since I like to easily check the time in bed, and since you are dealing with your phone for various things, I decided to build an awesome thing for that. Since I sleep in that box, I have a celing. I built a contraption, which includes a wireless charger, where I can securely place my phone in, so it sits on the ceiling, always showing me time and notifications (of course I put on silent mode at night). So I don't need to grab my phone or even tilt my head for getting a quick glimpse at the time and anything else I wanna know, I just need to open the eyes for a second. It's awesome, I find the necessity to grab my phone only for checking time to be very annoying.
Since it's not good for your battery, if you constantly charge it to 100% and let it sit there for hours, I connected the wireless charger to a very weak power supply, so it charges ridiculously slowly, but which is good. It doesn't even manage to charge 80% in an 8 hour sleep cycle, so it doesn't even reach 100%. Which I prefer. I needed to switch my phone's battery after 5 years, because it was totally f***ed. If I can, I try to keep my charge between 30% and 70%. That will put little wear on the new battery. And even though I don't know, how long the hardware of the phone will last and the software staying compatible (Android 9), it's good to know to keep the battery as healthy as possible. Because if the phone still works, when software incompatibility will come up at some point, you can still use the phone offline for a lot of stuff. Like a mobile media player, data manager, camera, navigation device (with offline maps) and whatnot. Also you could install another operating system, if you want. I'll definately not throw it away, as long as the hardware works.

Late 2023? Aren't we already on late 2023?

discount code is broken?

When the current wireless chargers cap at 15 Watts. How do companys like Oneplus charge eith 50watts wireless? Seriously, I don't understand.
