Wireless charger

This LDesign Qi charger was on sale for $9.99 after $4 coupon (MBPABZQX), so I got one.

Turned out it works very well with my Nexus 6 and charging speed is no different than wired charging! If I use Nexus 6 charger with this Qi pad, charging is turbo fast and hot; if I use a general 2A charger, charging stays not hotter nor slower than normal. Exactly like a wired charger.

It works with LG G2 too, but I have not tested it much yet.

Convenient and no different than a wired charger in terms of charging speed and heat, and for just $10, why not!

I bought a $1 stand from Dollar Tree; charging vertically is less hot, takes up less room and is more convenient to use the phone:



[update] Sometimes charging is fast and hot but sometimes not. Strange.

Alternatively, you can install the SBSVideoPlayer on your phone. It is not a stand alone player though, it just converts a normal video to side-by-side within a video player. You open your video in a file browser such as ES File Explorer and select SBSVideoPlayer to open it:

The 2D video will look like this:
