While all new iPhones and many Android smartphones are compatible with wireless charging, they rarely come with the appropriate hardware that needs to be purchased as an option. This is probably why you are reading this article, that is, to find the most suitable product for your needs. Here are our recommendations. Please note that all wireless chargers in this list use Qi wireless charging technology.
Anker 315 Wireless Charger
Anker 315
The Anker 315 wireless charger is nothing special, but it offers 10W charging speeds for Android smartphones and 7.5W for iPhones, and the design is pretty sleek. It’s not a super fast charger, but it’s good for those who charge their phone overnight. A USBC cable is included, but you will need an AC adapter.
Belkin 15W Boost Charge
Belkin 15W Boost Charge
The latest Belkin Wireless Charging Cradle provides 15W fast charging (AC adapter and cable included). Only some Android mobile phones are compatible with this wireless charging speed, and the tablet only charges iPhone at 7.5W. It has rubber inserts to keep the phone from slipping.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro MagSafe 3in1
Belkin BoostCharge Pro MagSafe 3in1
Available in black or white, the Belkin MagSafe 3in1 (2nd Generation) Wireless Charging Cradle charges MagSafeenabled iPhones at 15W of power, the fastest wireless charging speed available for an iPhone today. This model also offers faster charging speeds for Apple Watch starting with Series 7. A third charging point is available to charge AirPods with the wireless charging case.
Anker 622 Wireless Charger Battery Charger
Anker 622
The beauty of the Anker 622 battery is that it is a cordless battery with a builtin magnetic flap that doubles as a stand. This 5000mAh battery does not support fast wireless charging (7.5W max power), but it is thin and easy to carry. It charges via USBC, and if you use a USBC to Lightning cable to charge your iPhone, you can boost the power up to 12W.
Wireless power bank for iPhone Anker 633
Anker 633
Anker 633 is a 10000mAh wireless battery with integrated stand for iPhone 13/13 Pro/13 Pro Max/12/12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. It offers 7.5W wireless charging or 20W USBC and 18W USBA wired charging.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro
Belkin BoostCharge Pro
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro charger has one important feature that makes it an attractive alternative to Apple’s MagSafe charger: an integrated stand. It charges MagSafeenabled iPhones at 15W, which is the fastest wireless charging speed available for an iPhone. Alas, like Apple’s MagSafe charger, it doesn’t come with a USBC power adapter.
Moshi Lounge Q
Moshi Lounge Q
Moshi makes some good wireless charging products, including this Lounge Q wireless charger stand. It was released a while ago, but is still one of the most original wireless chargers on the market and can charge compatible Android devices at speeds 15W (iPhone speed limited to 7.5W).
Belkin BoostCharge Car Charger
Belkin BoostCharge Car Charger
This MagSafe charger charges your iPhone up to 10W. Its USBC cable is detachable and it comes with a 20W cigarette lighter adapter. The stand can be rotated in portrait or landscape mode.
iOttie Auto Sense
iOttie Auto Sense
This “auto sense” selfclamping wireless car charger is one of the best on the market. Its motion detection technology automatically opens and closes to securely position your phone. It provides 7.5W charging for iPhones and 10W for Android phones. It comes with a dual charge USB cigarette lighter adapter. Our only complaint is that the included cable is of the MicroUSB type, not USBC.
