Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad Review - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories

My experience with the Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad has been very pleasant. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was how small and compact it was. It is about the size of a small glass coaster (9 cm across and 1 cm thick). So, for those of you who travel constantly, this will be perfect because you can just slip it into your luggage or even your pocket without taking much space. There is a green light that comes on when charging your phone. However, the green light doesn’t fill the room at night and is usually covered up by the phone when you place it on the charger.
Hooking up the Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad is a breeze. Keep in mind this doesn’t come with a 3.0 wireless adapter, so make sure to pick one up if you want to reach the full potential of this wireless pad. I owned a Choetech Quick Charge 3.0 (18 Watt UL Certificed) wall charger and hooked it up to the wireless pad. My charging times from 1% to 100% was as follows:
Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad
0 Mins – 1%
30 Mins – 18%
1 Hour – 30%
1 Hour 30 mins – 59%
2 Hours – 80%
2 Hours 40 mins – 100%
Choetech Wireless QI Fast Charging Stand (update tomorrow)
0 Mins – 1%
30 Mins – 25%
1 Hour – 34%
1 Hour 30 mins – 49%
2 Hour – 63%
2 Hours 30 mins – 91%
3 Hours 22 mins - 100%
The Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad worked flawlessly. My phone wasn’t hot to the touch during its charging cycle, which is a peace of mind because if it was it would be at risk of damaging the phones battery cells. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone. Especially those who travel. If you need a quick charge use a cable, but long-term and overnight charging the Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad shines.
I currently own both Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad and the Choetech Wireless QI Fast Charging Stand. Both are great products and charge flawlessly. The benefit of the stand is that you can watch movies with the phone in an upright position. However, if you travel often the stand takes up a lot more space than the Panda Wireless Charger. The con of the Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad would be that you can’t watch any movies while charging.
For those who want a convenient charger that you can just place your phone on without the worry of plugging in a cable, then the Choetech Wireless Panda Charging Pad would be for you.

Thank you so much! The charging data are so great! Did you charge both wireless chargers on S9/S9+?

Yes I did, with the choetech 3.0 (18 watt) charger. The panda outperformed the choetech stand by over 30 minutes.

Fast wireless charging

Hey, thinking about buying the new fast wireless charger. Can someone who has a fast wireless charging pad tell me how long it takes to wirelessly fast charge the phone? Thanks
Mine takes around 3hrs to fully charge S8 from 10%
But I find out that wireless charging is much hotter than wired charging even though wire charging is nearly 2 times faster

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Nokia 7 Plus can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

takes about half an hour or so as far as I can remember 8/10
Charges really fast, thanks to 18W charger. Although on cable connected to computer, very slow

You compare 9v 2A(18w) vs 5v 0.5A(2.5W) PC usb? ...obviously it's slow with a pc charge

From mathematical standpoint 30 mins for 0-100% is impossible with 18W charger, let me make it a bit clear
It has a 3.800mAh battery or 3.8Ah for short, which means if it had a 5v 3.8A charger it would take 1 hour if the charger and delivery system(cable+chips inside phone etc) were delivering 100% efficiency. Now 5v 3.8A is 19W charger. For half an hour we need 5v 7.6A or 38Watt.
According to Quick charge which is present in this phone it can be charged at 9v 2A or 18W, so even if the phone has 100% efficiency it would take a bit more than 1 hour to complete 0-100% but because each system can't deliver 100% efficiency calculate to 1hr and 1-20 mins give or take
P.S. half an hour, wish but ain't possible unless we have 9v 4.2A charging with 100% efficiency(or 5v 7.6A if you prefer) - Still going to get this phone soon(if price drops to my desire)
Just charged 25% to 100% took around 1 hour
I have here the test i made 100% to 11% took 6h34m SOT, charging from 11% to 49% took 25 minutes from 11% to 82% took 59 minutes, from 11% to 98% took 1h36m.

Just got it yesterday...
Drained it fully so it died...
Then 0 to 53 % in 35 mins flat...
I think the last 10%( from 90 to 100} takes a big effort.
Just tested with LG V20's Fast Charger of 18W.
Fast charging works. confirmed.
But not with OnePlus 3T's Charger.
Will check the same with 5T's Charger and Update.

Did you try charging it with the Oneplus Charger? If yes, could you give us the result in terms of charge time and heating? TIA

Yes OnePlus 3T, 5T does not work.
Also I was charging N7+ from 18% via LG V20's Charger and it got overheated and started malfunctioning. But thankfully there was a circuit breaker and protection circuit in LG's Charger which saved it. Device is working fine too. Now I am using the nokia charger provided in the box as none are working.

So that means if something happens to the current charger provided with the phone, we will have to buy a Nokia branded charger and cable or there would be issues. Hmm

I am usimg my one plus 5T's cable and it is working fine...
I'm using an old HTC charger and a anker quick charger and all work fine.
Well, my Nokia 7 Plus charges quite fast but it gets very hot while charging. Today it overheated and started beeping.
I'm using original Nokia charger that came with the phone.

I also meet this using oem cable. With nokia original cable is no issue.
I just got this device Thursday not a Dual SIM device
It charges fully in about 1hr and 30mins of charging adds quite a bit of power to the battery
if we use a PC it takes ages
is it safe to use fast charge daily?
Can we charge the device by a standard charger having 5v 1 amp rating with the USB type c cable plugged into it?

Yes, i use mine from a tablet at 5v and 1.5A. You can use any charger if it is 5v or if it is turbopower o fastcharge.
I also use my old LG's charger. 5v @1.8A. Im not really that into charging speed. One thing i noticed is that on both chargers when reaching 100% it says charged but still charges for another 15minutes before the charging icon (flash) disappears from the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have done some testing.
With QC 2.0 (my old Motorola Turbo charge 15) I charge phone from 20% to 90% with rate 65%/hour (1 hour and 10 minutes time)
With QC 3.0 (charger and cable from original Chinese packaging) I charge phone form 30% to 87% with rate 95%/hour (40 minutes)
I think this scenario is common for most users when they need to charge phone in hurry.
Later I will add also charging rate for quick wireless charger included in box and maybe also some QC 4.0+ if I get my hands on some.
In my case, I bought a PD3.0 charger from Aukey and my Mi Mix 3 is charging from 0% to 100% in 1h08 !
In fact after a few research I found that Power Delivery Technology is compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge because Quick charge is working with Power Delivery and add a few security technology, but power delivery already have some.
Nevermind, I tested it and indeed My PD3.0 charger (max 15V and 3A) with a anker cable wich support up to 5A is working faster than the QC3 charger !
I suppose a QC4.0 should be better, but for now I think PD3.0 is the best solution !
I second @romain1672...I've converted all my chargers to USB-PD since I've divested from non-USB-C devices and my Mi Mix 3 flies with them.
I believe the wireless charging is relatively slow, think one review said three hours for full charge? But that's expected to be honest.
I've heard it said that slow charging is better for battery life, so in effect, wouldn't the wireless charger be better than cabled, if you're not pressed for time?
It took me exactly 1h45 to charge from 17% to 100% with the wireless charger. It's pretty fast for a wireless charger, but the only issue is that it heats lot of more than wired, and i read somewhere that heat isn't good for battery health.
Hi guys, I just bought the Razer Phone charger (it's the only one I could get quickly with Quick Charge 4.0+ in the UK). Not the most scientific of tests, but it went from 30% to 87% in 30 mins. I tested from 30% again today with a Quick Charge 3 charger and in 30 minutes it made it to 80%.
Sorry I didn't run from 0-100%, I can probably test that more easily this weekend if people are interested?
Fast enough that for the first time since owning a smart phone I never have to think about looking for a charge, even when travelling.
Does anyone know of any wireless chargers/charging stands that charge the mix 3 as fast as the included one? I've tried a couple I had with previous phones and they just charge so much slower
This charger is becoming annoying.
I place my phone on the puck by my bed. Sometimes, before falling asleep, I hear the sound indicating charge stopping.
Then, in the morning I find my phone has moved off the puck. And it is not me! The phone slips away if not perfectly aligned centrally on the puck. It is not surprising as the induction forces between the puck and phone will be opposing but the manufacturer should have spotted this and made the puck/phone with more friction between them.

Bro, I use my brothers Samsung Wireless Charger "EP-NG930" from his S8. Google it to see it. I can't post a pic of it since I leave it in the office but underneath it is rated at 9V 1.67A (15W)
I must say it charges pretty much the same, if not, faster than the included one since it has a built-in noiseless fan behind the coils

This phone charges pretty fast! Around 1h 35min from 0 to 100% (I think, will test that later). I'm using the 30w charger.
2 hours with 18W
1 hour 40 mins with 25w charger...
Any one used some charger with 45/50w? ;D
I want to know how much faster this smart can charge lol.i bought the 30w charger and i think is very fast a great smart too
I'm having serious issues with 3 of my Samsung 15W chargers. Never had a problem with LG G6, Samsung S6, S7, S9 and the odd device here and there while on Rog Phone 2 it will quick charge 1/20 times with it.
And believe me. You don't want to charge with the regular 5V charger mode. It will take hours upon hours.
Maybe it has something to do with the latest OTA.
If some1 can test 50 / 65 w charger and post the results will be awsome!

Which 25 watt charger are you using
I'm facing issue with my Rog 2, my phone is not charging fast. 1) I'm using 18w charger come with the phone to charge. 2) I have used Xiaomi 2i power bank with 18w output to charge my phone (still not working). 3) When i restart the phone battery goes down 36% to 29%. 4) On charging when i restart the phone it goes 8% to 13%. 5) I'm facing this problem from the 2-3 days. 6) Double plus sign on battery icon as well as fast charging text on home screen is also not showing while charging

It's a custom made charger bought from ebay. It is called JUICEBITZ Turbo Charger 3.0 Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 3 port.
Normal charging speed, just like 4000-5000 mah phones batterys from 2013 same speed nothing special.
6000mah what more u expect ?

You need a higher output powerbank bro.. I bought a nubia 27w output power bank to be closer to the 30W power brick...
I use my Note10+ 25w charger. Works well.
I tried Baseus 60w PD type-c charger but it's charging about 16w. Looking for 30w alternate charger. Asus one really expensive with our local money.
1 hour 40 mins with 25w charger...

Wireless Charging Vs Cable

Heres what i have noticed now with 3 phones.
Using my cable charger i notice that charging to 100% then when disconnected and used as an example when it gets to 95% with the phone in screen on it is about 35 to 40 minutes of use.
Using my EFM Qi wireless charger the same as above i achieve about 20 to 25 minutes of use.
I noticed this on the Mate 20Pro, S10+ and now S20U-Exynos
Somehow it seems that cable charging provides longer battery life than wireless charging.
Weird.
