A seat-type receiver that allows you to charge your smartphone wirelessly

My arrows 5G F-51A is a flagship about 2 or 3 generations ago in terms of chipset. I'm happy with the decent performance, but unfortunately it doesn't support wireless charging, the so-called Qi. However, it is not impossible to retrofit these smartphones to support wireless charging.

You'll find some thin sheet-type wireless charging receivers online. If you connect it to the charging terminal of the terminal and stick the sheet on the back of the terminal, or put it between the smartphone case and attach it, all you have to do is place it on the charging stand and it will be powered like a normal Qi compatible smartphone. is.

Thin and lightweight sheet type

So, I bought a USB Type-C connection wireless charging sheet and attached it to the arrows 5G. If you put it on the wireless charger, of course, it will supply power without any problem, and you can use it naturally as before while it is sandwiched in the case. But the problem is the charging speed.

Connect to the charging terminal of your smartphone. However, it is difficult to use as it is, so when I put it on the charging stand to be used by sandwiching it in the case, it was powered without problems.But the charging speed is slow

The output is only 1A, 5W. For those who are accustomed to quick charging of 10W, 15W or more by USB PD etc., this slow charging speed can be answered. In addition, it also means that "I can't move from the charger = I can't use my smartphone" while charging, so it's hard to say that the "unusable" time becomes longer because of the charging time.

I wonder if I made a wasteful purchase ... I was disappointed, but when I looked around, I noticed that there were many other devices that could be charged with a Type-C connection. For example, recently, the charging terminal of wireless headsets is often a Type-C port.

Bluetooth headset at hand, both charging terminals are Type-C

That's why I tried using this wireless charging sheet, which was not enough for smartphones, to charge my Bluetooth headset. Then, it feels surprisingly good.

Attaching a wireless charging sheet to the headset charging case It looks like that, but you can charge the headset (charging case) just by placing it.

Certainly, the appearance when attached is not good. However, wireless headsets often have zero battery when you accidentally forget to charge them and try to use them, but thanks to the fact that you can easily charge them without plugging and unplugging the cable, you are free from such mistakes.

In the first place, wireless charging may not be a good match for smartphones that are frequently picked up and used. On the other hand, gadgets such as wireless headsets that have been unused for a long time may be easier to realize the convenience of wireless charging. I wonder what it is.

Another headset can also be charged.However, this type that charges directly with the headset needs to be attached and detached every time it is used, so the charging case that can be left alone is more suitable.

Wireless headsets have a smaller battery capacity than smartphones, do not support quick charging, or do not require quick charging, which makes them suitable for wireless charging. I thought it was rather ant to use a wireless charging sheet for smartphones other than smartphones.
