Optics / haptics:
What has also brought me food for thought is that the cheap alternatives use only 2 of the 4 contacts.
So probably seems the functionality impaired at the cheap alternative.
The sheath is identical on the back as in the original without coil.
Inside are copper contacts, a covert and invisible copper coil and two silver-plated copper plates, a large bottom and a little further up in the copper strips.
I, I find it convenient to have everything fixed directly in a back cover. The extra weight is in the hand noticeable, but in my opinion even pleasant, here, there are also other opinions.
The minimal thickness of expanded I feel the same twofold advantage.
On one hand, the device is non-slip and on the other hand is no longer out the camera lens. Since the lens protection not from scratch-resistant glass, but from ordinary Plexi-glass is, this can be quite advantageous, because fewer scratches occur.
With cases that are a perfect fit there will certainly be problems, I use my smartphone (phablets) normally not in envelopes.
Function:
I use the Backvover with the newer ZENS single charging station, which has received a while ago an evaluation.
Placing is very easy and the charging begins promptly at, there are no interruptions and it is also loaded to 100%.
The unit heats during charging strangely even less than the S4.
The battery temperature is loading up to max 34 ° C (20 ° C ambient temperature). Specifications according to CPU-Z.
The charging time will be longer, instrumental for the duration but here is the charging station and the amp output.
Another small drawback is that the laid on the charger unit is not good to use. There are numerous touches that are not recognized, or are recognized in the wrong place. This problem I had not at S4. I would imagine that this could be due to the S-Pen technology (there is also an indication at the start of the charging process.
But actually that's not a wild thing, since one actually uses the Qi property to the smartphone, whenever you want simply can pick up and use of the charging station, without or attached to a cable, this always and plug it to have , Therefore, no deduction.
Conclusion:
I find it very pleasant to have to use a USB cable and the more mobile and be able to load on the writing or night on the bedside table and use this more frequently than previously expected.
A positive side effect the USB connector is used less and does not wear out.
I hope I could help them with my review and assist in their purchase decision.
