Charging head network summary
In the past two years, wireless charging technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and its practicability has been greatly improved. The wireless charging speed has a qualitative span, and it has the ability to compete with wired fast charging. Wireless charging has entered the era of fast charging. First-tier manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi have launched 15W or even 20W wireless fast charging. The charging speed is too slow to become a thing of the past.
After disassembly and comparison, the two products have their own advantages and disadvantages in materials, and there is no obvious gap. Even if the Xiaomi 20W wireless charger seems to have higher power than Huawei’s 15W, the realization of peak power needs to be matched with their respective chargers and specific models, so they need to be judged according to different standards.
Shopping suggestions:
In view of the different wireless charging protocols and materials supported by the two wireless chargers, the purchase recommendations are as follows: Huawei users, choose Huawei; Xiaomi users, choose Xiaomi; Apple iPhone users, choose Huawei; Samsung users, choose Huawei; LG users, Choose Xiaomi; SONY users, choose Xiaomi; other users can choose freely according to their preferences because both models only support ordinary 5W wireless charging of other mobile phones.
