[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
If the mods think this shouldn't have a individual thread, please combine this with the existing thread.

Before I go into details about each receiver, I would like to point out that all third party receiver does produce a slight bulge, whether is does bulge alot or little it's there, the bulge is usually the location of the chipset/IC on the receiver.

If you require a receiver without the bulge go for the samsung OEM cover.

To reduce the thickness and bulge, users can cut or file down certain part of the inside of the cover, you can see the photo below, this part also prevent most of the receiver from positioning direct in the center of the phone, so the receiver is mostly placed toward one side and on the battery.

Of the 8 receiver, one of the receiver is a pre production model and is not available for purchase as of write, for other receiver please do a search, I will not provide any links.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, but before asking, most of the answers will probably be answered already in this thread, so please search within this thread first, question that has been answered before in the thread will be ignored.

Brand: Nillkin

Coil Type: PCB copper etched

Chipset/IC: TI

Support QI/NFC

The receiver is specially cut so that it fits inside the battery cover and overcome any parts that sticks out of the cover.

The receiver is made very thin and has very little bulge.

Nillkins claims that this receiver retains the IP67 specification.

Will work with most transmitters, with transmitter that has only one coil and is more sensitive you will have a hard time getting it to charge properly, I couldn't even get this receiver to charge with samsung's new square charger, with the rectangular one, you have to place the phone alittle higher for it to charge.

With a charger that has 3 coils, 7 coils or a moving coil, this receiver works very well.

Updated: Does not work with the following charger, Iffu, new version of the samsung, Nokia, Araree and Powerholic.

May apply to others.

Brand: Powerqi

During my testing the receiver works very well, the phone needs to placed a little bit down, as the coils is located further down, it is also claimed and been tested to work with the IP67 specification.

The receiver is ultra thin, and from all of the receiver listed here and one's that I have used, this is the thinnest one to date.

Brand: Yijieneng

Coil Type: Flexi coil

Chipset/IC: TI

Support QI/NFC

One of the most known companies in wireless charging, I have recommended this brand for a good few years, they have produced many good products, but this receiver is a fail, it's the thickest receiver in the test, it's also very difficult to place into the phone, it took me many time to get the receiver to work with the stock cover, and only manage to get the cover to close properly, I have tested this with a S view cover, it's fits into the cover very tight, but cannot get the two to work, even when it's suppose to work. This is one of the 2 receiver listed here that suppose to works with a S View cover.

Once you get this receiver to work, there is no problem with this and any other transmitter.

This is the second receiver listed here that can be used with S View cover, this receiver is very similar to the Yijieneng, but it's completely different, and is not made by Yijieneng, it's ultra thin, and works well with all charger that I have used.

initial test seems alright, quite thin, even when the cover is on, with minimum bulge, not too fussy about what charger is used.

9

Brand: Yijieneng

Coil Type: Copper strand coil

Chipset/IC: TI

Support QI/PMA/NFC

1st third party receiver to support both QI standard (WPC) and PMA (Duracell Powrmat), this receiver also supports the use of the S view cover for wake up and sleep function, anyone after a ultra thin receiver can look elsewhere, this receiver is not thin.

Further testing needs to done to confirm the compactiblity of both standard, although initial testing QI has been tested to work.

A must have receiver if you live in the USA where PMA charging is available in all starbucks cafe and some other cafe, and if qi is used as the main charging standard for you smartphone.
