Nillkin Magic Tags Review - Add Qi Wireless Charging to Any Phone

Nillkin Type C Wireless Charging Receiver, Magic Tag USB C Qi Wireless Charger Receiver Chip for Google Pixel XL/LG V20/HTC 10/OnePlus 3 USB C, iPhones, Micro USB

Looking to add wireless charging to your phone? In this unboxing and review we test the Nillkin Magic Tags. The Nillkin Magic Tags add Qi Wireless charging to any phone or tablet. This includes iPhones, iPads, and Android phones (Samsung, Pixel, HTC, Moto). The Nillkin Magic Tags can be purchased with Type C, iPhone Lightening, or Micro USB connectors.

Through my testing I found that the magic tags do indeed add wireless charging to any phone but the wireless charging is very slow. However using Magic Tags will add wireless charging to iPhones and add wireless QI changing to any other phone including androids.

HOW DO I DO IT? (Paid Links)

This gadget enabled me to make use of my Lexus in car wireless charger. It was unused for two years, as my 2016 SE iPhone is old and not set up for wireless charging. For $14, I now have a new ability and don't need to charge phones with charging cable. Thrilled! Instructional video was fine and to the point. Thank you.

I think the reason why it's only getting ~100 mA is that your phone is already at >80% of battery. Most phone will do trickle charging at this point. You need to retest this when your phone bellow 20%.

I tried loads of chargers and receivers. The quality at each end makes a HUGE difference to the charging times and speeds. You buy a low quality receiver and a low quality charger and you'll be waiting forever as its really inefficient. I've got a Baseus receiver with a Yootech charger and they both work brilliantly with other, and charge at 600mAH, compared to 1000mAH via cable. When I swap a Hoolife charger, I only get around 280mAH.

Can you take the port out to charge the phone with a wire

[eduAC.]

Really good video. Very informative and to the point. Excellent format with no annoying intro or outro. Keep it up!

[PositivelyHealthy]

They need to add the ability to do the magnetic cable connection to the end of the connector so you have the option of using a magnetic cable.

Just tested one on a Poco M3. The charge rate is almost exactly the same as the idle discharge rate, at around 160-180mA. Basically, if I left this charging for 24hrs and didn't touch the phone, I would have exactly the same battery percentage I started with. The wired stock charger that comes with the M3 charges at an average 1900mA (thankfully, as it comes with a 6000mAh battery)

I use one for my car mount when I get home I just take my case off unplug it and use the wall charger and it was only like £5 works great

[Eternal-fractal]

Holy shit man, THANK YOU. This is actually really fucking useful and cool. I almost always have to replace my phone charger because of the whole only charges in a certain angle thing. I never really thought about wireless chargers before, or what their purpose was, but a few hours back I realised it was for that whole problem. My phones a j3 eclipse, and I was afraid i could have to spend a few hundred for a phone that could charge wirelessly. Which, I dont have, or would be able to afford for almost half a year, or ask for it on my birthday/christmas. Sorry for rambling, my point was you're a fucking godsend for this.

I wonder will any kind of wireless reciever with usb type C interface work for my Samsung Galaxy A12 as the Galaxy A12 has a 6.5 screen a bit larger/ taller than average Android phone also obviously the A12 has a big bulging 4 rear cameras which makes it difficult to lay flat/ flush to a flat surface without possibly a case. Or will you need to buy a bigger wireless reciever like the Nillkin company magic tags wireless reciever at 5v 1A 1000mah as shown on this video???

[googlereviewer]

Good review. I had one of these but got rid of it after a few weeks as charging is simply too slow and unreliable. Even a normal cable on my phone will charge at around 1.1A according to Ampere. This wireless receiver is only 10-15% of that!

[saxena.apoorv]

At 200mA, pixel 2 xl will take 5-6 hrs. to completely charge from 0to100.

[twistedkuraz]

Didn't even know it had adhesive lol. Thanks for the tip

[olafmarzocchi]

I have a Nillkin tag and I reach 850-1000 mA charge. There must be some issue with your charger or receiver module.

[SupiraOfficial]

I bought one from a guy. Don't know if it was defective because it would barely charge and would drain my battery while plugged in and sitting idle.

[elmariachi]

How do I know whether to buy the long or the short cable version? Is it about positioning the inductor right? Maybe that's the reason for your low charging rate?

[pariscloud]

I have that exact Seneo charger on my desk right now.

[firdauztech]

Great reviews anyway, is the charging time is depend on how current on wireless charging dock? Or if im by the fast charging support it still slow or what?

[akremamara]

Can I charge my smartwatch using this adapter?

[antonissavvakis]

I have buy an other wirless charging receiver and it gets so warm that it could get fire! Has the "Nillkin Type C Wireless Charging Receiver" any problem with the temperature while charging the phone?
