The best wireless chargers are a bit of a dream, breaking you out of the old rut of having to plug in your phone every time to sit down to work or sleep. Ditch your cables and quit wearing out your phone’s charging port by getting yourself a handy wireless charger. It’s easier than ever now that more wireless chargers are switching to USB-C so you can stick to one cable.<\/p>\n
Fast, slim, and adaptable<\/h3>\nBelkin Boost Charge 15W Wireless Charging Pad<\/h4>\n
Staff pick<\/p>\n
Belkin sells flat pads and stands with speeds from 7.5W all the way up to this 15W beauty, which is available in black or white. The outer edge has non-stick pads to keep your phone in place, and it comes with a AC adapter so you can skip the QC\/PD confusion.<\/p>\n $35 at Amazon<\/a> <\/p>\n This is the perfect charger for those who have a Galaxy smartwatch and\/or Galaxy Buds, as you can charge all three here at the same time. The pad will also support 7.5W for iPhones and standard 5W charging for non-Galaxy Androids.<\/p>\n This sleek charging pad from Yootech features the same 15W EPP profile we need for fast-charging the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4 \u2014 as well as Samsung’s 10W fast charging protocol \u2014 but it can be powered by either Qualcomm QuickCharge or USB-C Power Delivery.<\/p>\n Spigen’s convertible Qi charger can either lay flat like a normal charging pad or unfold into a stand, propping up your device while you work on the computer or eat a midnight snack. It doesn’t like Power Delivery input, but QC chargers are still cheap and plentiful<\/p>\n Covered in a plush fabric in one of three colors, this wireless charger isn’t exactly as “mini” as the name implies, but it’s got a great look and it uses a USB-C port instead of the older micro-USB. It also comes with a wall charger in the box, unlike most.<\/p>\n This unassuming charger is sleek, but has just enough non-slip on the top and bottom to keep it from sliding around. The LED indicator is also gentle enough to not keep you up at night. It also supports 15W charging for LG and the newest Pixels.<\/p>\n OtterSpot batteries can stack atop each other on the home base to charge via POGO pins, and while you’re traveling, they’ll charge your devices wirelessly or via USB-C. They also function as standard Qi pads when plugged in.<\/p>\n These luxury chargers are covered with fabric and a non-slip texture, and they come in a variety of fun colors and patterns. This charger supports EPP for up to 10W charging, as well as 7.5W\/5W standards.<\/p>\n This wireless charger can charge your phone on the go at up to 18W with Power Delivery wired charging. I love it because when I forget the cables, I can still wirelessly charge at 10W with this phone-sized bank.<\/p>\n $34 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Ampere’s Unravel is one of the more unique wireless chargers out there, allowing you to charge three devices when laid out flat. You can also prop up one device while wirelessly charging it, or take up the least space while folding it up accordian style.<\/p>\n Belkin is a great brand, and I love the way it helps ensure that a device is held exactly where it needs to be when in landscape due to how the side supports bump out from the pad. It charges Samsung and Pixel phones at 10W and iPhones at 7.5W.<\/p>\n With the EPP protocol for charging the Pixel 4 \u2014 and most other Android phones \u2014 at 10W, iOttie combines the most popular car mount on the market with a reliable Qi charging pad so you can top off as you drive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n For a flat pad, Belkin has made a comeback in the wireless charging space over the last year with a variety of 10W and 15W wireless chargers that are Made for Google. They support the EPP charging profile that the Google Pixel 5<\/a> uses while still having the wireless charging profiles that Samsung and Apple employ for their phones. The Belkin Boost Charge 15W Wireless Charging Pad<\/a> is slim, non-slip, and skips the Qualcomm QuickCharge\/Power Delivery quagmire by using an old-school barrel-plug AC adapter instead, which means that while you can’t swap the wall plug for it, at least you know you won’t get slow speeds because you accidentally plugged into a slower wall charger instead.<\/p>\n For when you want to go vertical, I actually recommend going with a unique multi-port charger: the Unravel 3+1<\/a>. It can fold up into a stand when you need to charge a phone while you’re using it, but when you don’t, it either folds out into three separate 10W charging pads. You can fold it accordion-style for one compact charging pad on a nightstand or a crowded desk. There’s also the Spigen SteadiBoost Flex<\/a> for use as either a flat pad or a stand when you need it.<\/p>\n Wireless chargers have been around for quite a while, but they’ve really gained steam in the last three years since Apple finally added Qi charging to the iPhone 8 and up. However, just as we once had to make sure a fast wired charger adhered to the particular standard our phone once used, wireless chargers have a half-dozen different charging standards and protocols that are hard to condense down to a product name or bullet-note in a feature listing. So let’s start with the most important standards on a Qi charger, the actual charging specs:<\/p>\n Since we’ve yet to find a wireless charger that supports all of these, we instead have to try and pick a charger that has the particular standards that we think our devices now and in the future can use. If you’re a Galaxy user or iPhone user, your task is easy since most chargers have your protocols. The rest of us should be seeking out a charger with 15W EPP or 10W standard Qi charging.<\/p>\n Of course, there’s the way a Qi charger is powered: most Qi chargers worth buying don’t have a permanently attached AC wall adapter. Two outdated standards are still rampant in the Qi charging market \u2014 Micro-USB input ports and Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0\/3.0 fast charging \u2014 but more USB-C<\/strong> based chargers are becoming available that are compatible with Power Delivery<\/a> charging. I’ve tried to highlight such chargers whenever possible because having a Qi charger that you can use with your Chromebook or MacBook charger<\/a> is very handy, especially if you’re trying to pair down on the number of chargers you need to bring along when traveling.<\/p>\n So, since there’s a lot of standards at play here, here’s which standards and speeds each these chargers support in handy chart form:<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2020\/10\/belkin-boost-charge-15w-wireless-charging-pad.jpeg\")
