Bezalel Futura X: The Wireless Charging Pad You’ve Been Looking For

Over the holidays, I decided to upgrade my phone as a little gift to myself.  My new Note 8 is the first phone I’ve owned that supports wireless charging, and with the help of the Bezalel Futura X Wireless Charging Pad, I’ve been making use of the feature every single day.

The Futura X is compatible with any Qi-enabled phone and with iPhones that have a Bezalel Latitude Receiver Case.  In the box, you get the wireless charging pad, a USB cable, and a short user guide.

The pad itself has a slim profile and is fitted with two ribber strips on the bottom that keep it from sliding around on smooth surfaces.  Plug in the charger, and the LED indicator on the side will indicate that you’re powered up and ready to go.  Inside the pad are magnetic guides designed to make properly aligning your device almost effortless, but you do need to have one of the Bezalel magnetic cases to make use of this feature.

My Note 8 is protected by a UAG case, and let me tell you that this is a case that means business.  Even so, with the Futura X, I’ve never had a problem getting a fast charge through it, which is an issue I’ve read about with other chargers.  I should also note that even though I don’t own one of the magnetic charging cases, I don’t have a problem aligning the phone to the proper spot on the pad, and with the UAG case on, it stays put.

At $40 – $50, I’m not sure why a power adapter isn’t included, but it isn’t.  Were one included, I’d consider keeping a few of these chargers around the house so anyone in the family can easily get some charging in as needed.  Instead, I have only one wireless charger, and it shares a power adapter with another device.  This is a far less convenient solution, but I’m stubborn like that.  You could, of course, plug it into your computer, but I’ve never found that to be very convenient either, and it’s charges much more slowly that way.

Aside from the adapter situation, I’m quite pleased with the Bezalel Futura X Wireless Charging Pad.  Using it with a Samsung adapter, my phone charges quickly, and I’ve never experienced overheating.  It doesn’t take up much space, and it’s easy to travel with.  Plus, it looks nice on my desk!

You can find the Futura X at Bezalel.com or grab one over at Amazon.
