I have an iPhone X, and use an inexpensive Samsung Qi charger. It doesn't do the fast charge, but I also only ever charge my phone at night. It's sitting there for 8ish hours anyway, so the fact that it takes like, maybe two hours to charge is a non-issue.
I imagine many Pixel 3 owners will experience the same thing. A wireless charging pad is pretty naturally a "leave it sitting there overnight" spot. Doesn't really matter that it doesn't do the fast one.
- seanp2k2 8y agoI actually prefer a slower charge since it helps the battery last longer. I wish that the charging speed was software-configurable. I also have a samsung Qi charger on my desk, with another by my bed. They slow charge my iPhone, but if I need a quick boost because I’m going back out, I’ll plug it in to an Anker charger. It’d be great if one could do it all: slow charging overnight, with faster charging in the off-hours - it could even be automatic based on what it thinks you want (and learn your habits over time), with a software override.
- Rebelgecko 8y agoYou're on an iPhone so I suppose this doesn't help you much, but on my (Samsung) Android phone it's possible to use a program like Tasker to programmatically toggle fast charging based on location, time of day, current battery level, etc.
- Skunkleton 8y agoI have the opposite use case. For charging at night, I just plug in the the slow wired charger. Wireless charging is more useful to me in my car and at my desk.

- badwolf 8y agoI have an XS, and a diagonal wireless charging stand on my desk. It's utterly fantastic not having to plug in/unplug my phone constantly. But the upright stand allows me to still see/use it nicely :)
