So how does RAVPower's lineup hold up, Turns out, surprisingly well. Aside from their flagship wireless charger, RAVPower has also released a trio of additional models, known as the HyperAir series. They are meant to be more lightweight, affordable and useful than the original. A new charging pad, stand and portable battery pack make up the new additions to the lineup. This is the original 7.5W RAVPower charger. Many users and critics claim this is the best wireless charger out there on the market, and when it comes to standard wireless chargers, we don't disagree.
It is a great blend of premium quality and affordability. The body is made out of metal, with a silicone ring on the top to prevent your phone from slipping off. There is a very nice weight to it, clearly contributing to that premium quality. RAVPower has quite a compact design to it, making its footprint noticeably smaller than much of the competition. This is not just useful for on your desk, but if taken along for travel as well.
A small multi-purpose LED is centered on the front and will cycle its hue depending on the charging status of your device. 15 by itself. A braided nylon and aluminum USB cable is paired with it as well. Like the rest of the RAVPower chargers, it supports 7.5W of power, or 10W if you are on an Android device.
When it comes to charging, the numbers are impressive. DigitalTrends pitted the RAVPower charger against Mophie and Belkin's, which happen to be the only two endorsed by Apple. They found that RAVPower could reach a full charge 20 percent faster than the others. We can't find a single criticism of RAVPower's flagship wireless charger.
It quickly and efficiently charges the latest iPhones in a sleek, metal design. Additionally, a fast power adapter and premium USB cable are included which can be a rarity. 29.50 through May 23rd with promo code APPLE034. Alternatively, RAVPower's new HyperAir charger is still slim and fast, but it opts for a plastic body.
All of the other qualifications stay the same and the device itself boasts features identical to the original charging pad, but it is hard to understand why RAVPower added this to the lineup. The prices, even with our promo discount, are very close to one another. Why it needs to exist is something we are struggling to comprehend.
In a vacuum, this charger is excellent, but when compared to RAVPower's own chargers, it is the lesser of the two options. While RAVPower's original charger felt premium, the HyperAir charging pad feels cheap. It still charges fast and has the proper included accessories, but it doesn't feel nearly as nice as the original. 27.99. Through May 24th you can use promo code RAVP5566. Realistically though, for only a couple dollars difference, we'd highly recommend the above model.
One thing that can be burdensome time to time on the iPhone X is Face ID. When using a charging pad, the phone is flat on the table. When it comes time for unlocking, you need to lean over the phone or pick it up, which is much more of a pain than simply touching your finger to a Touch ID home button.
That and improved notification visibility are two big reasons to opt for a stand rather than a pad. RAVPower's HyperAir Qi charging stand has two coils inside, allowing it to work with many devices, vertically or horizontally. It still has the light, plastic design we saw in the HypeAir pad, and RAVPower says that is to help keep it cool. If the temperature rises too high, the charger will slow down.
