Wireless charging has long been a popular feature in smartphones, and for Samsung's recent offerings in particular. But the official Fast Charge wireless getup from Samsung has — until now — been a purely horizontal endeavor. You put your phone flat on on the charger, and it charges. And that's fine and all. But It also means your phone is at a pretty harsh angle to your eyes, and glancing down at notifications isn't all that much fun. That's where angled chargers have always had an advantage. But third-party chargers didn't always get the job done properly.

You place the phone on the charger, and it charges. There's a little foot on the bottom to hold things neatly in place, and the base of the charger is rubberized to keep the whole thing from moving around.
It's powered by a microUSB cable, which plugs into the base at the back.
