I got the Samsung Convertible charger...lil pricey, but includes a USB-C adapter and USB-C cable. It is nice looking and can change to pad or stand. Testing it, the charge is ok....I am not sure the 8 has wireless fast charging yet...? Or hopefully gets faster with updates.
It doesn’t have wireless fast charge yet. It will come with an update.
There's wireless charging at 7.5w and fast wired charging using USB-C PD. Is there "fast wireless" charging?
I'm using this one from Anker:

I use it on my bed stand and don't expect it to be fast, but it seems to charge fairly quickly. So far, it's working great.

I picked up a few of the cheaper Samsung Qi chargers and one of the Samsung “Fast Charge” Qi chargers - right now, there doesn’t seem to be a difference, but when Apple issues the update to allow 7.5W charges, I’ll see if there’s a difference.
I played with the convertible one - the price was a bit higher for wanting to play with this, but seemed like a really nice alternative if you wanted to use your phone while charging.
