Xtorm Freedom wireless fast charging base, for your iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X

With the arrival of the new iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, wireless charging has become fashionable. Being able to reach and comfortably place your iPhone on a surface to recharge its battery soon becomes a very comfortable gesture. that thanks to the compatibility of current Apple models we only need a base compatible with the Qi standard, used by most manufacturers.

We analyze the Xtorm Freedom charging base, a wireless charging base that is very small in size and that in addition to being compatible with the new iPhone It will be able to offer fast wireless charging when Apple activates it, thanks to its power of up to 10W. We show you our impressions below with images.

The first thing I ask of an accessory of this type is that it is as small as possible and discreet. Both requirements are met in the case of the Xtorm Freedom base, since its size is little greater than the width of the iPhone X, being almost hidden when we place the iPhone X on top. It does not have lights or other flashy details that are of little use, and only adds a microUSB cable that connects to the back. Both surfaces, upper and lower, are covered with non-slip material so that neither the base nor the iPhone slip in any case. In addition, a rubber ring will protect the surface of your smartphone or the case it is wearing.

Placing the iPhone X or any other compatible model to start charging is very simple, and there is no juggling to match both active surfaces. Simply place your iPhone on top, more or less the base in the central area, and the charge will begin, without cuts or other malfunctions. Recharging is slower than cable, it is obvious, but once Apple activates fast charging in an upcoming software update, this base will be able to offer perfectly the 7,5W that this function needs. You do not have to worry about anything because the base regulates the recharge depending on the device, and establishes what power is necessary, without problems of overloads or overheating.

Editor's opinion

Wireless charging is a comfortable and very practical gesture in situations where we are not going to use our iPhone for a longer or shorter period of time, such as at night or during work. The Xtorm base is, by design, functionality and price, a great alternative, since with a very compact and discreet design offers us fast wireless charging safely for our iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X. Available for €39 in the official store, we will only have to add an adapter for the plug with about 2A power to enjoy it to the fullest.
