There are plenty of wireless chargers. Here are some of the things we like, but for some reason we do not guarantee the above location.
Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 charging station costs $150: If you liked the Picogo W2 above, but want more gadget charging power, it’s worth watching this 5-in-1. It also has tilt pads and a retractable USB-C cable, but with a statistical display, it adds two more USB-C ports and one USB-A. Perfect for desktops. I also tried it and loved it baseus nomos 8-in-1 magnetic charging station ($90)combines a similar folding Qi2 pad with three US AC outlets, three USB-C ports, and one USB-A.
Rapport London Formula Wireless Charging Tray is $475: Yes, this is the indecent price for a QI wireless charger. You can probably create a version for a small amount of cost. However, the build quality of the Rapport is very good, with a lacquered grey box and a soft touch fabric to keep the watch and phone scratched. I’ve reliably charged some Android phones without too warming some Android phones, while providing storage for some watches. It’s attractive, but you’ll need cash to burn at this price.
BELKIN BOOSTHACHER PRO Convertible Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand $45: This Qi2 certified stand has magnetic pads that can be laid flat to charge old phones or act as a stand for portraits or landscape orientation on folding iPhones and other QI2 phones (convenient for standby mode). It charges up to 15 watts and comes with a 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cable and power supply.
Casetify PowerThru 2-in-1 charging stand costs $92:If you want a charger for your Magsafe iPhone and AirPods (or other earphones), this is a decent choice for Casetify. It has a square base with indentation for airpods, metallic rods and slightly adjustable Magsafe pads for iPhones that charge at 7.5 watts. I don’t like the visible logo around the pads, or any other design options on the basketball court or base, and there are bright LEDs.
Apple Magsafe charger is $46: Apple’s Magsafe charger is very basic. The charger remains magnetically attached to the Magsafe iPhone, so you don’t have to worry about accidental inconsistencies. There is no charging adapter, but this is the version with a 2-meter long cable.
Coolant Catch: Two Essentials for $150: Wireless Charger Should It looks lovely. You shouldn’t settle for less! This coolant dual charger oozes the luxurious with its Belgian linen-wrapped surface (particularly camel-colored). I used it at the entrance and charged my wireless earphones with my partner for two years. Rubber feet prevent it from moving around, but even if it’s there teeth This pad has five coils to ensure that you place the device down to charge and make it accurate when you check that the LED lights up to double check. A color matching USB-C cable is included.

Zens Liberty Wireless Charger $100: I tested it Glass plate ($140) Of this wireless charging pad, 16 overlapping copper coils are on display (the standard version has a top of wool fabric), and look stunning. You can charge two devices at a maximum of 15 watts at the same time, with options Apple Watch Add-on ($20). The stylish one is that the price is too high. The placement is not an issue as you can see the coils, but it’s a bulky charger and the fan can hear from time to time. I had no issues charging my iPhone or AirPods, but the Pixel 6 Pro was very warm with this pad.

Xiaomi Mi 80-W Wireless Charging Stand $50: This stand, the fastest wireless charger we’ve tested, is only worth considering on Xiaomi phones (most other phones seem to charge under 10 watts). Tested with Xiaomi 13 Ultra (8/10, Wired recommended). The unusual sail shape combines a white triangular section with a clear acrylic base with subtle grooves that hold the phone in place and gaps in the exhaust grill from the noisy fans. There is a USB-C port and LED indicator on the back.
Don’t worry
They can’t all become winners. This is a wireless charger we don’t recommend.

$40 Raycon Magic Mat Pro: I love the idea of ​​a mouse mat with a wireless charging spot on your phone, but the execution here is awful. Spots are clumsy to find and can’t deal with thick cases. My Xiaomi 14 Ultra doesn’t charge at all (the camera ridge is too big). Raycon says the fake leather is waterproof, but it turns out to be uncomfortable like a mouse mat and squeeze your arms and hands.
