For me it was clear that it was not the original Samsung charger is certainly, as I this looks ugly one hand (purely subjective) and a too smooth surface on which the smartphone slips much easier.
I also wanted a black charger that suits my workplace.
In addition, this charger comes with adapter ... why is this not at the Samsung adds not to tell me.
Of course you can use his charger, but it should certainly give customers who prefer to have a station for the workplace and invite wired home.
Optics / haptics:
The charging station is extremely small, which I think is great. Dimensions: 11x9x1cm.
It is very valuable, robust, transportable and as already mentioned above, the surface is roughened and the S4 Slither not all too fast (up to approx 10 ° nothing slips, will be you use in a larger angle attachment in the delivery of anti- slip stickers advisable).
The status LED helps place by being only red or orange, and when the smartphone is good is green.
The LED is just so bright that they can be more clearly seen in the bright, but at the same time does not bother at night in total darkness. Perfect.
Criticisms of other Rezensionisten:
The station is now one week in operation and there has been absolutely no problems.
I will now briefly discuss some criticisms (in conjunction with the S4) from other reviews:
1) S4 is not always recognized? None, in every single place the S4 has been recognized and invites perfectly.
2) The S4 does not detect when you look at it from the station and continues to indicate that it is charging? Occurred not once, battery capacity is indicated correctly. In addition, the S4 has a status LED ... but even if the display is off you can easily see when it is fully charged ...
3) Storm connection, design disaster? I beg your pardon? this angled connector can be rotated by 90 ° and then behaves like a normal straight. There is also a possibility the charging station at the edge of the table to place without the cable too much survives. More practical than catastrophic.
4) Lengthy to find the correct position? I ask you. Once looking at the manual, forking out the device, move to the LED is green, Voilà. Pinned position and no problems. In addition, there are certainly a large area of nearly 3 cm in height and 2 cm in width is loaded in!
Well, yes I want the Rezensionisten who wrote this does not belie, but I doubt strongly that you have the station properly used or simply a China-cheap back cover have used the basis of which it has come about these errors. At point 2 I could imagine also that the user has placed one or the other Custom-Rom and the battery was incorrectly calibrated. Here could help the free app "Battery Calibration" from the Play Store.
Upload:
So now briefly at load time, probably the most important point.
The standard battery of this station S4 invites with exactly 4 hours and 36 minutes from 0 to 100%.
An inductive charging for good value.
When charging, the battery heats with me according to CPU-Z to 38, x ° C, the surface of the charging station has roughly the same temperature, if not slightly higher.
The standby power consumption is less than 1W.
Conclusion:
In summary it can be said that you are clearly better off here in my opinion with the Zens charging station, as with the original S4 charging station, even if it is minimal expensive.
They have accessories, a better appearance and a more robust charging station. Of course, the expansion of the S4's on Wireless Charging has a high price, but I think that it is a worthwhile purchase, which enriches the handling of the S4's positive. Even more than I thought before. I use the now exclusively this charging station and am very happy with it.
I hope I could help them with my review and assist in their purchase decision.
