We go hands-on with RAVPower's brand new HyperAir series of fast wireless chargers that can charge an iPhone at 7.5W and Samsung Galaxy devices at full 10W.
Looking for a Wireless Charger? The RAVPower HyperAir Series is the Best Out there Right Now and Represents Excellent Value for Money
Before I go ahead with my hands-on, I would like to thank RAVPower for sending these chargers out to us so we can try them out and give our readers a quick hands-on look along with exclusive discounts.
RAVPower announced their HyperAir series of wireless chargers a while back, and needless to say that they are few of the best available in the market right now. They are available in different form factors and they fit perfectly into any environment thanks to their sleek form-factors and design.
What is HyperAir?
In case you are wondering what HyperAir is and what it does: in simple words, it's an in-house charging tech from RAVPower that brings fast charging to all devices across the board. Whether it's an iPhone, Android device or even something else, RAVPower's wireless charger will pump out those watts in the safest possible manner that too at a rapid pace. This also means that you don't have to look out for those "7.5W Supported on iPhone" labels at all. Just pick up a HyperAir charger and it'll take care of everything with complete peace of mind.
RAVPower HyperAir Charging Stand
For me, this is the ultimate wireless charger in the entire HyperAir lineup as it gives you the flexibility of charging the device upright or in landscape mode if you so wish. In fact, I found this one very, very useful especially on my work setup where I don't have to pick up my phone at all while charging, which is an iPhone X, by the way.
Once a notification comes through, I can, without picking up the phone, get straight to the home screen using Face ID while the phone keeps on charging, something I can't say about other chargers at all. That's not all though, this thing has multiple coils inside, and can charge an iPhone at full 7.5W speed or even a Galaxy device at full 10W speed out of the box.
Speaking of which, the charger ships with a Quick Charge 3.0 wall adapter as well as a very high quality micro USB cable that happens to be nylon-braided as well. Needless to say that you will be up and running as soon as you get this thing out of the box.
Once you place your device on the charging stand, there's a convenient little LED indicator at the bottom that turns green when charging is in progress. If your phone is slightly out of place, the safety kicks in immediately and the light turns red. This is extremely handy and I wish many chargers out there had.
There's just one thing I'll complain about this charger: if only this charging stand was available in a matte black finish, that's all. I don't have any complain regarding the glossy finish, but a stealthier look would've been even more awesome. That's just a personal preference though.
Though this charger costs $49.99 if you buy it right now from Amazon, but if you apply the code WCCF6699 at checkout, the price comes down to just $39.99. The code is valid till the 14th of this month.

RAVPower HyperAir Wireless Charging Pad
The second charger from RAVPower comes in a pad-style form factor and is pretty unique looking too. First and foremost, it's a rounded-off square that looks actually pretty nice. The first time I saw the press kit from RAVPower I had certain doubts but this design actually works quite well.
Speaking of the design, it's extremely minimal and has small vents underneath so everything stays nice and cool. Also, this thing is pretty darn light. So light that you can actually move it around easily. This is a good thing as well as bad at the same time. I wish there was slightly more weight to it, otherwise it is fine.
There's no rubber padding on the top so you might want to be a little careful while placing your device on it. Since I have a silicone case around my phone, I did not have any sort of problem when it comes to slipping at all.
Also, it features the same blinking LED indicator from the charging stand, but on this one it's a little dimmer, which makes it ideal for keeping on a bedside table.
Last but not the least, this charger too ships with a Quick Charge 3.0 wall adapter inside the box along with a nylon-braided micro USB cable. Seriously, every manufacturer should take note of the accessories that come inside the box!
The HyperAir Wireless Charging Pad costs $39.99 on Amazon, but once the code WCCF5522 at checkout, the price comes down to $31.99. The code is valid up till the 14th of this month.

RAVPower HyperAir Wireless Charger
This charger is basically the upgraded model of the fast wireless charger which RAVPower sold for a long time. In fact, this was the charger that made me like wireless charging in the first place.
The upgraded model features RAVPower's HyperAir technology which means that it can not only detect an iPhone quick and deliver the fastest charge, but it fast charges everything you can throw at it. It features the same design as before with a combination of metal, plastic and a rubber top for added grip that happens to be flawless.
This thing is built like a tank and has some nice weight to it. If there's one charger I keep coming back to, it's this one. It's absolutely perfect and is the epitome of what a wireless charger should be. It just works!
The RAVPower HyperAir Wireless Charger is already discounted to $29.99 on Amazon and it's an insane value for money. I suggest picking it up quickly while it's down to this price. You won't regret it one bit!
Update: The price of the charger is back to $39.99. However, if you use the code TECHPP34 at checkout, the price comes down to just $29.99.

RAVPower HyperAir Wireless Power Bank
Though we didn't get the chance to check out the wireless power bank, but RAVPower was kind enough to send in the discount code for our readers. A huge thumbs up for them!
Though the power bank is on the pricier side of the spectrum, it has a coil right on top which kicks into action as soon as you place your smartphone on it. And since it is HyperAir driver, therefore it charges everything up real fast. Apparently the word 'bottleneck' is not available in RAVPower's dictionary, which is a good thing.
The RAVPower HyperAir Wireless Power Bank costs $65.99, but apply the code PB080WCCF at checkout and the price magically drops to just $56.09.
