Cheap solution/alternative for lack of wireless charging!



If you are like me and miss the simplicity of wireless charging I have found a solution. If you have never heard of znaps it started as a kickstarter to bring magnetic charging to any Microsd, USB type C or lightning devices (similar to Mac). I preordered mine but the wait was killing me since it does not ship until January. I did a quick google search and found another company who is selling this technology on Amazon so I quickly ordered it with next day delivery and I have to say it works perfectly. It has a strong magnet and can be connected with ease either direction. So far it doesn't appear to support quick charging but that could be a result of the charger I am using. I get about the same charge time as I have had with wireless chargers, pretty slow but perfect for over night. I hope znaps is faster honestly. Installation and removal can be a little tough because you have to use force but they give you a tool to remove (trust me it will stick out and not go all the way in unless you push hard). It also supports sync as well but I really haven't put that through it's paces yet.

Now I am going to keep my znaps order going to test the two. Not sure if it supports fast charging.

Znaps has some pros:
1. You can use your existing cables. With this you have to order multiple cables for cars and so on.
2. The price is cheaper for the connectors
3. It is smaller (both insert and cable tip

So if you want something that connects quickly and without hassle and something that can go both ways give it a try.

Here's a promo video I found lol you have to laugh at how they try so hard to make it seem terrible the old way

Here are some photos:
