In case you’re looking for wireless chargers, Samsung’s official 15W wireless charger stand is an attractive deal. You can use the device on both portrait and landscape modes while you’re charging with this charger. With built-in fan cooling, the charger has an efficient heat dissipation mechanism to ensure that your phone doesn’t get overheated.
