Not a fan of reviewers glossing over "50+w wireless charging" on x chinese phone when it really just means 50w with their proprietary charger and 10w speeds on qi1 and 5w on qi2 chargers.

Yep 5w, qi2 apparently don't have a qi1 fall back, so it goes down to 5w lol. Measured with power-z tester and using Electron app.

example of ppl glossing over, supersaf's review.

But yea this is from robust testing with my oneplus 15 the last few months, after investing a decent amount in qi2 and qi2.2 products from owning a s25u and iphones over the years and am a bit disappointed at the lack of proper support here.


I do own an airvooc charger and its fine for the most part, but it having just 1 form factor with a loud whining fan and requiring a supervooc charger with the pretty short 1m cable is kinda limiting. Meanwhile qi2 has all kinds of charging stands, power banks etc.


i know it took china a while to get on board with PD/PPS charging due to the EU, maybe they will qi2 someday. Otherwise just those wireless chargers are only useful for slow charging at night because 5w is gonna take a while to charge up a 7k+mah phone.



Also this is just my experience with oppo/oneplus. If yall have better wireless experiences with huawei/xiaomi/honor chime in!

Upcycle your old Android: A guide to running a full Linux media server via Termux (No Root required) ♻️

We all have that one old Android phone gathering dust. Instead of letting it become e-waste, I created a GitHub guide that pushes the limits of Android hardware by turning it into an automated media server.

Using Termux (via F-Droid) and proot-distro, the guide shows you how to install a lightweight Ubuntu environment natively on Android. No rooting, no custom ROMs needed. Inside that environment, we install the native ARM64 binaries for Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr.

It’s a fun weekend project that proves how capable older Android devices still are when you unlock their Linux underpinnings.

Check out the repo here: https://github.com/Boss17536/android-media-server
