1.0 out of 5 starsNot magnetic. Not very good. **UPDATE - REVIEW TAMPERING**
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024
I have a STEEL PLATE on the back of my phone, and this piece of garbage won't stick to it. It can barely pickup paperclips!
It also won't fast charge, so it's just a bulky mediocre charger. Save your money.
*UPDATE:*
Baseus has now contacted me twice to hassle me for noticing their product doesn't work. They keep offering replacements and refunds (product already went back to Amazon) to get me to "fix" my review. In their latest message, they state the following (random line breaks are from the original):
>>
You said that there is a steel plate on the back of your mobile phone. If it is a steel plate,
it will indeed not be able to attract magnets.
Because ordinary steel mostly contains iron and is magnetically permeable, it can be attracted by magnets,
such as high carbon steel and so on.
Special steels, such as stainless steel, have more chromium and nickel added to them,
which makes the steel non-magnetic and therefore cannot be attracted by magnets.
This will also cause the mobile power bank to charge the phone slowly.

You heard it here folks, the magnetic mounting plate I have on my phone, which holds wonderfully in my car, kitchen, and workshop - is somehow not magnetic. Perhaps the paperclips in my picture were also made of this magical semi-magnetic material that reacts to every other magnet EXCEPT the Baseus charger. This is clearly a more reasonable explanation than "The product is not very good"
Also, for clarity - this charger does not fast charge VIA USB-C. I don't use wireless charging, because I have a big hunk of metal on my phone so it will stick to magnetic phone mounts.
So: The charger is a hunk of junk, AND the company is shady as all-get-out. Don't trust the positive reviews because they buy off anyone who is honest!
