Wireless charger recommendations

[thequeenscheese]

Hi, I currently use a Samsung
ep-pn920
fast charger but the last 2 phones I've had s9 and now the s20fe (the s20fe in particular) it's becoming tedious that I have to get the phone mm perfect on the charger to get it charging without the dreaded flashing blue light and it cutting out /turning off etc.
Yes my phone is in a case but not a big metal 360 type which I used to have and that's what I'd put the issue down to, but a basic shell cover type.
What's a better upgrade for a wireless charger that people are using?
Or is it more a modern phone issue with smaller coils?

This what I use. It worked well with my Note 10+ 5g and now with my S22 Ultra.

It is also 15w which is the max for your phone.

I bought this charger to use with my Note 10 and now using it with my S21 Ultra. It has and continues to serve me well.

does your case have a magnetic kickstand? i had to switch cases because the magnet that keeps the kickstand from popping out was preventing my phone from wirelessly charging properly. i switched cases and it is much easier to charge.

i use this one:

No this case used to have a clip in type stand hich has fallen off some time back, tbh when I upgraded to this charger from the old flat square type it was always fiddly and need precise phone location compared to its predecessor, I think it's just generally rubbish, and the design /money saving of maybe a smaller coil in the newer phones doesn't help..

Do you use a rugged case in the phone also?

I use a minimal case mostly to add some texture to the phone.

Yes I've seen these, do you need to be super accurate with positioning of the phone? But the picture in the link explains lot and 15w allows a further distance so a thicker case?

I think my phone would last around an hr without some decent protection

Super accurate placement isn't necessary. There is some margin of error.

I use a verizon branded wireless charger that I purchased in store. I'm sure I paid a premium for the charger but it works flawlessly and has for a number of years.
