SwanScout 710FG2 - Wireless Charger for Pixel Fold / Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Watch 2/3

Charges pixel pro fold well but has to take cover off phone to do it

My wife never had a wirelessly charged phone until recently. This sits on her desk at work and does a fine job of charging her Pixel 8a while keeping the screen up where she can touch it for two-factor authentication. To get the most value, you'd want two phones and a watch to charge.

I really love keeping this at my desk. It is just so much easier to have a stand for my phone so that I can see it and it also is charging at the same time. Because of the angle of this, it keeps my phone easy to read at a glance.The charging for works for my Google pixel 9 XL and I have a compatible charging case on it and it still works through the case. Because this is on a desk that the family accesses, it turns out to be quite handy that whoever is sitting there can just charge their phone at the same time. I know it sounds ridiculous but I had a charger sitting right there on the desk another but hardly ever bothered to plug my phone in unless it was really close to dying. There's a big difference between having to plug your phone in every time you sit down and just setting it down on this. I really love it!

No complaints. We change two S21 Ultras on this each night and haven't had any issues. It takes about 3 hours for fully charge from the phone being dead. The clock is a little bright in my opinion but we just turn it towards the wall if it bothers me.

The idea behind this charging station is really cool, but the performance could be better. It looks sleek and doesn’t take up too much space, but sometimes my Pixel Watch doesn’t connect properly, and I have to adjust it a few times. The phone charges fine, but the earbuds sometimes disconnect too. I wish the magnets were stronger or it had better guides. It’s nice when everything connects correctly, but it’s too unreliable for daily use.
