Between Good & Excellent -Less a Qi WirelessDevice
So This phone is a great phone for me and does what I like and it does have more enhanced features, like the different options, like the connect with PC (Windows Companion) and also the fast charge option. Battery seems to go along way if not too on the media frenzy side but still lasts longer than my previous phone (HTC U11Life) Just Died no way off holding a charge to recover some video's or photos - Not backed up to Google or cloud either bummer)
I thought this would have wireless capabilitSee more

If you need wireless charging, beware
This phone does not support wireless charging. It requires the purchase of a 3rd-parety wireless charging adapter which uses the USB-C port rendering the port useless for anything else. Which is too bad, in all other ways it's a great value.

I thought this would have wireless capability (Not a Qi phone, maybe they can do a upgrade or software update). Really I hardly ever used the wireless charging devices other than that all good, excellent phone!!
