Qi2.2 power bank in daily travel: is 25W wireless actually useful?
Been in Germany for almost a month now, mostly on Deutsche Bahn with the occasional U-Bahn to get around the city and weekend trips to Munich and Hamburg. Outlets are hard to come by and I'm running navigation, camera, and maps pretty much nonstop, so by 3pm my battery is always in trouble.
Brought the Baseus am52 along, Qi2.2, switching over from a regular Qi2 bank I'd been using at home. First time actually putting 25W wireless through its paces on a real trip. Real world numbers on iPhone 17 Pro: 30 minutes attached gets me to around 45%, my old Qi2 at 15W would only hit about 30% in the same window. Not really into running benchmarks but I feel this gap every single day. That 20 minute sprint before the train pulls in used to leave me just short, now it's actually enough to get through the next leg.
No heat issues so far either, and the magnets have held up fine. Been walking around with it stuck to my phone inside my bag all day and it hasn't budged.
Curious whether anyone else leans on wireless charging while traveling or if you still think wired is more reliable on the road?
