    18 Best Wireless Chargers, All Tested and Reviewed (2026)

  • A Wireless Wireless Charger

    Could this be the first truly wireless wireless charger? Twelve South’s designs are often interesting, and the PowerBug is a smart idea, enabling you to attach your phone directly to an outlet magnetically. The US version has folding prongs, making it a super compact option for travel. Obviously, outlets are not the ideal places to charge. You may find the PowerBug blocks adjacent outlets, and it works far better when they’re higher up, like you’d find in a kitchen.

    It supports 15-watt charging of Qi2 devices, and I tested with the Pixel 10 Pro XL and the iPhone 16. The PowerBug got a little warm, but it worked well and triggered StandBy mode for the iPhone. Some online reviews complain that the magnets were weak and charging was flaky, but I didn’t encounter those issues. It also has a 35-watt USB-C PD port, so you can charge a second phone or another small gadget by plugging in a USB-C cable (not included).

    Specs
    Compatibility Qi2 and MagSafe
    Wattage Up to 15 watts (wireless), up to 35 watts (wired)
    Extra Ports 1x USB-C
    In the Box Nothing
    Warranty 1 year
  • Desktop Suction Mount

    Scosche

    MagicMount Charge Pro

    I’ve been using this Scosche charger on my desktop, and there are a few reasons I really like it. The suction base with lever keeps it firmly in place, and it never slides around or threatens to topple when I mount or remove my phone, which I can do easily one-handed. The minimal design is unobtrusive, with a cable management clip at the back and another provided so you can channel the cable to the included power adapter. You can also spin the phone easily from portrait to landscape orientation, tilt the angle, and turn the charger through a full 360 degrees to position your phone exactly where you want it.

    Specs
    Compatibility Qi2 and MagSafe
    Wattage Up to 15 watts
    Extra Ports None
    In the Box 5-foot USB-C cable (attached) and 20-watt power adapter
    Warranty Lifetime
  • There are a lot of wireless chargers. Here are a few more we like, but for one reason or another don’t warrant a place above.

    Krafted Couch Wireless Charger for $52: I thought this wireless charger that’s designed to be draped over the arm of your couch was a great idea when I saw it, but the ridges failed to keep it in place on my velvety couch, so it kept slipping down the side. The silicone finish with the Krafted logo is also a bit ugly. It’s just a silicone mat with a magnetic charger inside, though there is a fairly generous 6.6-foot (2-meter) cable, and it is Qi2 rated. If you’re always rooting around for a charger and one of the colors blends well with your furniture, it might be a good solution for you.

    Einova Eggtronic Charging Stone for $70: Made with 100 percent solid marble or stone—you can choose from a variety. Every single pick in this guide looks very much like a wireless charger, but I’ve had visiting friends ask if this one is a drink coaster. (I’m still figuring out whether that’s a good or bad thing.) It has zero LEDs, perfect for bedrooms; just try to hide the cable to truly make it blend into your home. We recommend putting a case on your phone when using it with this charger, as there’s a risk of scuffing up the back with these harder surfaces.

    Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Charging Station for $100: If you liked the PicoGo W2 above but need more gadget-charging power, this 5-in-1 could be worth a look. It also has a tilting pad and retractable USB-C cable, but adds two more USB-C ports and one USB-A, along with a stats-filled display. It’s perfect for your desktop. I also tried and quite liked the Baseus Nomos 8-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station ($70), which 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 for $475: Yes, this is an obscene price for a Qi wireless charger. You can probably make a version for a fraction of the cost. But Rapport’s build quality is quite nice, with a lacquered grey box and a soft-touch fabric to keep your watches and phone scratch-free. It reliably recharged several Android phones without making them too warm, all while offering storage for a few watches. It’s attractive, but you have to have cash to burn at this price.

    iOttie iOS Wireless Duo for $50: This dual-charging system looks pretty—I like the fabric-wrapped stand—and you can charge another device on the rubberized charging pad next to it. The stand can be used in portrait or landscape, though in the latter orientation it’ll block the pad. I use the pad to top up my wireless earbuds, but I wouldn’t use this iOttie on a nightstand, because the LED on the front can be glaring. A cable and adapter are included, which makes it a good value. It can charge Pixel phones at up to 15 watts, iPhones at 7.5 watts, and other Android phones at 10 watts.

    Journey Alti Play Performance Desk Mat for $120: This is a desk mat that doubles as a wireless charging pad. On the left side is a plasticky rectangle with a Qi2 magnetic puck for your smartphone. Above it is a little area to charge wireless earbuds (5 watts). Naturally, there’s RGB all over, and there are two buttons you can press to cycle through patterns and colors. It’s a smart-looking system, though the quality of the actual mat leaves a bit to be desired. I didn’t have issues gliding my mouse on it, and it stays put thanks to the rubber underside, but I just didn’t like the look and feel of the Lycra surface. Journey has some other versions of this mat that use different materials, so take a look if you like the overall aesthetic.

    Courant Catch:2 Essentials for $75: Wireless chargers should look nice. You shouldn’t settle for anything less! This Courant dual charger oozes luxury with its Belgian linen-wrapped surface (especially in the camel color). I’ve used it by my front door to recharge my partner’s and my wireless earbuds for two years. The rubber feet prevent it from shifting around, but even if there are five coils in this pad, you should try to be precise when you put your device down to charge and make sure the LED lights up to double-check. It comes with a color-matching USB-C cable.

    Zens Liberty Wireless Charger for $150: I tested the Glass Edition of this wireless charging pad, and it looks stunning with the 16 overlapping copper coils on display (the standard version has a woolen fabric top). It can charge two devices simultaneously at up to 15 watts apiece, and there’s an optional Apple Watch add-on ($19). As stylish as it is, the price is too high. Because you can see the coils, placement is never an issue, but it’s a bulky charger; the fan is audible at times, and while I had no problem charging my iPhone or AirPods, my Pixel 6 Pro got very warm on this pad.

    Xiaomi Mi 80-W Wireless Charging Stand for $50: By far the fastest wireless charger we have tested, this stand is only worth considering for Xiaomi phones (it seems to charge most other phones at 10 watts or below). I tested with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which tops out at 50 watts (some Xiaomi models can go higher). The unusual sail shape combines a white triangular section with a clear acrylic base that has a subtle groove to hold your phone in place and a gap underneath for the exhaust grill from the noisy fan. The USB-C port and LED indicator are on the back.
