Wireless charging
Wireless charging in car holders is implemented according to several standards: the proprietary MagSafe (for iPhone 12 and newer) and the universal Qi 2.0 standard use a magnetic ring for precise coil alignment and protection of the smartphone from shifting on bumps, providing optimal power of up to 15W. Meanwhile, the updated MagSafe (for iPhone 16/17 models) and the latest Qi 2.2 standard (for the latest Apple and Android flagships) offer ultra-fast wireless charging with power up to 25W. Older technologies without magnetic mounting support can provide up to 10W.
Gadget mount
- Clamp. The simplest mechanical lock: two spring-loaded jaws that compress the device from the sides. The compatibility of those with a specific phone is limited only by the size of the phone; at the same time, the design of the spring jaws itself allows you to adjust the width within certain limits, and in some models, additional adjustment in width is also provided. Thus, the clips are compatible with a large number of gadgets, while they are very simple and inexpensive. The disadvantages of this option include a somewhat lower reliability than, for example, in gravitational devices: the device located in a conventional clamp, usually, is not supported by anything from below.
- Gravity clamp. A latch of this type covers the smartphone on the sides and bottom, while the bottom support works as a trigger sensor: when it goes down under the weight of the gadget, the side jaws converge and compress the device from the sides. Accordingly, to remove the smartphone, you need to slightly lift it. Compatibility in such clamps is also limited only by the size of the device; at the same time, they are noticeably more reliable than conventional clamps, and they are somewhat easier to use, which is why they are more common.
— Magnet. Holder in the form of a strong permanent magnet. Such clamps are very easy to use, as well as reliable and durable (there are no moving parts in the design); in addition, they have no restrictions on the size of the rechargeable gad...get. On the other hand, two other restrictions are relevant for magnets - by weight (it should not be too large) and by materials (not every case, even a metal one, can be effectively magnetized). And although these points are taken into account in many devices with wireless charging, however, the possibility of using it with a specific smartphone (and especially a massive tablet) should be specified separately.
- Proximity sensor (touch clamp). Automatic latch with an electronic sensor that recognizes the proximity of the gadget or the user's hand. “On the way”, the jaws of the latch diverge by themselves, and when the device is installed, they are compressed; when the smartphone is removed, respectively, the clip reacts to the user's hand and disables the fixation. Such holders are very convenient, but relatively complex and expensive; In addition, the mechanism needs power to operate.
