Soft disagree. I use the Qi charger to charge my phone overnight or while it’s sitting on my desk. The USB cable is when I need it charged quickly.
This way, my phone’s charging port is protected with a plug when I’m not using it and it is immaculate and unlikely to fail while I have it.
(My previous phone’s charging port almost failed and would stop working if I used it for all charging. Using Qi for the bulk of the charging kept the port working for when I needed it, like in the car or to the computer.)
I do the same, including plugging the usb-c port. I specifically got a 5-watt qi charger over the 10 or 15 watt ones so that my phone would slow charge overnight. The phone doesn’t get warm when charging that way, unlike when I use the usb-c port.
Second this. When I sit at my desk, the phone’s on the Qi pad. I don’t need it all the time, and it’s fine to stay there 30 min. When I sleep, same thing. I actually use a smaller charger brick so it charges more slowly overnight. I don’t know what it’s a better charge for the battery if it stays lower temp but it feels right.
