For way too long now I have had to plug it in and not let a breeze pass it lest it stops charging. I went at it and it quickly got a lot better where I didn’t have to wiggle it around to the right position to start charging.

But I kept going, dug out a lot more stuff than I expected, and when I tried it again, get this, it actually went in. It doesn’t just slightly penetrate to establish contact. It proper locks in.

Charging while on the go has been impossible for a long time, but I think it should now be easy as ever.

USB-C btw

    I don’t wanna be that guy, but please let me. I moved to Qi charging more than a decade back (mophy cases before a nexus5) and it changed my life. That’s why I’m that proselytist here.

    I mention this only because I have a rubber plug on my charging port. I remove it exceedingly rarely as I’ve charged this phone off another phone’s donated power and vice-versa rather than use a cable when I can. Dirt and munge is not even a thought anymore, though.

    I’ve charged (I think it was) a Samsung watch for my panicky wife off the power-sending Qi setup on an S10 and it worked with no added gear or cables: phone, watch, hero. Trip not ruined despite lost watch-charging dongle.

    It’s a good thing. Please consider it.
