If space on your desk is at a premium, this handsome charger from Otterbox gives you the most compact footprint we've come across for a 2-in-1 charger. With its silver and white finish, it'll match well with your other Apple gear, while the magnetic charging surfaces will keep your Apple Watch and iPhone secure as they power up. I particularly appreciated the 90 degrees of motion that the iPhone charger has, which lets you hold the phone at a specific angle (good for watching stuff while powering up), or charge non-magnetic accessories like a pair of AirPods by tilting it into its flat position. This wired charging stand was designed to only work with Apple devices, so it comes with a braided lightning cable you have to snake through a hole in the base. This does mean you have to use your own charging adapter, but the one that came with your device will work perfectly. For Leica’s latest innovation, we’re thrilled to have played a part in bringing their vision to life. The Leica Q3, the newest edition of the bestselling Leica Q, is a compact point-and-shoot for creatives on-the-go. It’s also their first camera ever to support wireless charging, and that’s where we came in.

Still, different iterations were sketched and considered. As we took more inspiration from the timeless style of the Leica Q3 itself, initial sketches of a leather-wrapped charging pad transformed into something else. We landed on a darkened aluminum frame to match the Q3’s metal housing, which was then contrasted with a cross-grained fabric tread that alludes to the camera’s textured detail. The frame, as well as the cable belt, are finished with Leica’s branding as a stamp of their renowned quality. As we more strongly commit to our new brand promise to ‘Design for Life,’ we’re excited that this collaboration gives us the chance to explore where we can extend our value beyond the realm of everyday devices, helping us navigate what ‘life’ can entail,” says Igor Duc, Co-founder and CEO of Native Union. “With mutual values in quality and durability and a shared philosophy of good design, this collaboration was a seamless fit.” If you use an Android phone, and want a wired charging stand designed specifically for your device, this is the charging stand you should get.This will keep them discretely out of sight, and allows you to switch the cable out if you decide to go from iPhone to Android or vice-versa. You’ll also have to supply the power adapter, but you can use the one your phone is plugged into normally. Your eyes don't deceive you, this really is a wireless charger made of marble. You can also get it in six other colors of travertine, sandstone, or lava stone if you want a different look for this simple but handsome charging pad. It's incredible that you get something that will easily sit in a living room or kitchen without looking out of place for this price. Its silicone and aluminum body offers a high build quality, and it pairs nicely with the iPhone or iPad on top of it. This charging stand is shaped like a 7.1-inch long and 4.1-inch wide square, and its minimalist design will fit with any desk (it’s available in both Blue and Stone, if you’ve got a style preference.) Pros:This stand is compatible with iPhone and Android devices, and its bamboo frame looks really distinctive.

So we got to work on a made-for-Leica edition of Drop XL Wireless Charger. And with a common ground as large as the one we’ve found with Leica – for starters, a shared dedication to premium quality, refined materials, and minimalist design – it was almost second nature to adapt our fan-favorite piece with both brands in mind.To have captured several milestones and turning poi nt s in time is testament to Leica’s high-end quality and innovative spirit . B ut Leica doesn’t just capture history – they have quite the legacy of their own. There are two small issues I found with this charger. First, the integrated USB-A cable, although braided for durability, looks cheap compared to the rest of the pad, and is only 90cm (3 feet) long, making the places where I could put the charger limited by how close my power outlets were. Plus, the charger is only capable of 10W output, which while available with any compatible device, is a bit slow. Which company's wireless charger is best?

The most important thing to look for when shopping for the best wireless charger for your needs is whether it's compatible with your phone. If a wireless charger is Qi certified, it should support your iPhone, Samsung phone or other Android phone. But note that the wattage support will vary from charger to charger. Most chargers support 10W charging for Android phones and 7.5W charging for iPhones, although if they support Apple's MagSafe standard, then you can charge an iPhone 12, 13 or 14 at up to 15W instead. On several occasions, the German-born brand has contributed to upheavals in photography. As a pioneer of the portable camera, they t ook photographers out of the four walls of the studio and popularized photojournalism and street photography as we know it today. Time and again , their cameras reshape the industry, reminding us why they’re the premier cameras coveted by professional and casual photographers alike. This two-piece stand fits together easily, cradling your phone upward at a comfortable angle. At 7.1 inches tall and 5.1 inches wide, the wired charging stand has a pretty small footprint, and the finished bamboo frame will look really nice on a desk.We looked around and found the best wired charging stands that will work with all of your devices, regardless of whether they’re big or small, or run iOS or Android. Each one will work best in a different situation, but all of them are held to a high standard. What You Need to Know Before Buying a Wired Charging Stand If you primarily use Apple devices, this luxe-looking, wired charging stand is the right one for you. This is going to depend on what device you're using. If it's an iPhone 12 or newer for example, then it'll be any device that uses MagSafe and provides 15W of charging. Other phone makers have their own standards, and often the only compatible chargers are the ones they sell themselves. In terms of generic chargers, the fastest speed you'll get is the Qi standard of 7.5W. This isn't particularly speedy, but it'll work with any wirelessly chargeable smartphone, or other devices like wireless earbuds at slower speeds. Is 10W or 15W better for wireless charging?
