What makes this wireless charger unique from other products?

Baseus company team decided to integrate an LED-based status indicator display, which you most likely will not find in most wireless charges sold online. The display shows charging status, which includes voltage and wattage consumption in real-time.

Display

The LED display does the job well, displaying voltage and wattage information. Both switch randomly during the charging process. You can’t do much with this data from a user standpoint, but it’s an excellent indicator of whether the charger is working correctly.

The good & The less good

The Baseus BS-W526 charger package doesn’t come with a charger, so you must buy one separately. The USB Type-C cable is not detachable but, rater built-in as part of the charger. On the more positive side, we liked that Baseus provided a very long charging cable in the length of about ~1.5 m, making it very easy to place the charger on the desk, relatively far from a nearby wall socket.

Supported devices

According to Baseus product specification, the wireless charger supports inputs of 5V-2A. 12V-2A with a max output of 15Watts. Because the charger is compatible with the popular Qi standard, it should charge most phones without technical difficulties.

During our simple test, we charged a Huawei Mate 20 Pro phone with 9.2V while the LED display showed an average steady power of 6.8W during charging. Remember that the charging time might be slightly shorter by using different power adaptors. If you decide to buy a power adaptor separately, make sure it’s PD (power delivery) compatible, or the charger may not work correctly.

Charging Huawei Mate 20 Pro

During our test, we successfully charged our Huawei Mate 20 Pro phone using a 20W PD-compatible charger with a Type-C interface. According to the charger led display information, we got an electrical power of 6.8W at 9.2V.

What About Apple iPhone 13 Compatibility?

Although Apple’s iPhones use proprietary charging cables and chargers, According to Basueus product specs, this charger is compatible with charging iPhone 12 devices. Unfortunately, we didn’t have an opportunity to get our hands on one.

Having said that. Just for testing purposes, we tried charging it without success because this product doesn’t officially support iPhone 13 devices. If you are still keen on this option, we might consider buying an Apple-certified compatible wireless charger such as the Macsafe and MagSafe brands.

Final words

Overall, an excellent product that we loved testing. It’s slim, well designed, and super easy to operate, with a fabulous display showing real-time charging status information. Bottom line, It’s worth buying and also cheap.
