Other wireless chargers we tested

There are many wireless chargers. We also have some that we like, but for one reason or another, the above position is not guaranteed.

Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 charging station for $100: If you like the picogo w2 above but need more gadget charging power, this 5-in-1 is worth a look. It also has a tilt pad and retractable USB-C cable, but adds two USB-C ports and a USB-A, as well as a stat-filled display. Perfect for your desktop. I have also tried it and really like the Baseus Nomos 8-inch magnetic charging station ($80), which combines a similar folding QI2 pad with three US AC sockets, three USB-C ports and a USB-A.

Fusion London Formula Wireless Charging Pallet for $475: Yes, this is the obscene price of Qi wireless chargers. You can probably make a version for a fraction of the cost. However, the rapport is of great quality, with a painted gray box and soft fabric that keeps the watch and phone scratches free. It reliably charges several Android phones without overheating them while providing some watch storage space. It’s attractive, but you have to have cash to burn at this price.

Priced at $120: This is a desk mat that doubles as a wireless charging mat. On the left is a proton rectangle with a smartphone with a QI2 magnetic puck. Above is a small area for charging wireless earbuds (5 watts). Naturally, RGB is everywhere, and you can press two buttons to loop through the patterns and colors. It’s a clever system, although there are some shortcomings in the quality of the actual mat. I don’t have the problem with sliding the mouse on it and it stays the same due to the rubber’s bottom side, but I just don’t like the look and feel of the Lycra surface. The Journey also has some other versions of the mat using different materials, so if you like the overall aesthetic, take a look.

Apple Magsafe charger, priced at $40: Apple’s MagSafe charger is very basic. Since the charger is magnetically attached to the MagSafe iPhone, you don’t have to worry about accidental misalignment that will cause you to wake up to a crash. There is no charging adapter, but this is the version with a longer 2m cable.

Courant Catch: 2 points for $75: Wireless charger should Looks good. You shouldn’t settle for something less! This Courant Dual Charger oozes luxury with Belgian linen-wrapped surfaces (especially camel color). I’ve used it next to the front door to charge my partner and wireless earbuds for two years. The rubber foot prevents it from moving around, but even there yes With the five coils in this pad, you should try to be as accurate as you can when you put the device down to charge and make sure the LED light reaches dual checks. It comes with a color-matched USB-C cable.

Zens Liberty Wireless Charger for $94: I tested the glass version of this wireless charging pad and showed 16 overlapping copper coils (the standard version has a wool fabric top) and it looked great. It can charge both devices at the same time 15 watts per unit, and it has an optional Apple Watch add-on ($15). The price is fashionable, the price is too high. Since you can see the coils, placement is by no means a problem, but it’s a bulky charger, the fan is audible at times, and while I have no problem charging with iPhone or airpods, my Pixel 6 Pro is very warm on this mat.

Xiaomi Mi 80-W Wireless Charging Stand, $50: By far the fastest wireless charger we’ve tested, this stand only considers Xiaomi phones (it seems to charge most other phones at 10 watts or less). I tested it with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra (8/10, wired recommendation) and this ultra-high rate reaches 50 watts (some Xiaomi models may be higher). The unusual sail shape combines a white triangular section with a transparent acrylic base, the base has subtle grooves that hold the phone in place and place gaps in the exhaust grill on the noisy fan. USB-C port and LED indicator on the back.

Don’t bother

They can’t all be winners. This is a wireless charger that we do not recommend.

Raycon Magic Mat Pro: I like the idea of ​​a mouse pad with a wireless charging point, but the execution here is terrible. The place is picky and it can’t handle thick boxes, and my Xiaomi 14 Ultra doesn’t charge at all (the camera bumps are too big). Raycon says the fake leather is waterproof, but I found it to be a mouse mat, uncomfortable arms and uncomfortable hands.
