Instead, the Pixel Watch 2 now charges via four pogo pins that are found on the underside of the casing. Google states the reason for this decision was because the pogo pins allow for faster charging speeds, which is pretty important considering that the Watch 2 only lasts for a day. If the charger came with a wall adapter, we used it; if not, we made sure to use one that gave sufficient juice to the Qi charger. The Charging Pad Trio only charges up to 9W, but you can charge three devices, including your Galaxy phone, your Galaxy Buds in the wireless charging case, and your Galaxy Watch. Go, Galaxy, go. While Flyer is on, briefly press the Power button to see the battery indicator LED and hear an audio notification. The iPhone 8 and newer can charge via Qi at up to 7.5W, but the iPhone 12 and 13 series also support MagSafe, Apple’s proprietary magnetic wireless charging standard, at up to 15W (12W for the 12 Mini and 13 Mini).

Still, if you have a MagSafe-compatible phone and want fast wireless charging, it’s worth getting a MagSafe charger. If you’re interested in the magnetic part but don’t mind a slower charge, you can also consider a magnetic Qi charger like the one we recommend below.

The Anker PowerWave 3-in-1 has a 10W Qi charging stand, a 5W Qi pad for wireless AirPod cases and a stand with a slot for an Apple Watch charger. The Apple Watch charger isn’t included. Instead, Anker provides an internal USB port under the bottom cover, along with a clever routing system for the 3-foot charging cable the Apple Watch comes with. But wireless charging is convenient and requires less messing around with cables. It also means households with more than one type of phone can all use the same chargers. And for overnight charging, or any time you don’t need the absolute fastest charge, it’s a nice option to have. If you have the space, and the need, to charge a half dozen or more devices at once, the BaseLynx system is worth considering. If your needs are more modest, you can save space and money with something more compact. Scosche tells us a MagSafe module is coming soon, but as of December 2021 it is not yet available. Anker’s charging pad and cord are less bulky than the one on the Belkin Wireless Magnetic Charger, and its magnets are much stronger than the Mophie Snap+. If you want a bedside or couchside charger with longer reach than Apple’s MagSafe and don’t mind the slower charging, it’s a good deal. The Apple MagSafe Charger is best known as the new recommended method for charging the latest iPhone 13. It uses the smartphone's magnets to properly align so you get the fastest charging speeds possible.

The Powered Pad’s squircle shape, matte finish and four color options (graphite, white, lilac and blue sage) work well with modern and contemporary decor. It has a pinpoint white status LED that stays on while your phone is charging, but it doesn’t blink and isn’t very bright, so it’s tolerable in dark rooms unless you’re a particularly light-sensitive sleeper. Coil whine: Many wall adapters, and some Qi chargers, can make a high-pitched noise when powered. Sometimes it’s down to the individual unit; we’ve tested plenty of identical chargers where one unit whines and the other doesn’t. And not everyone is bothered by coil whine; some people don’t even hear it. Still, we noted any coil whine we found.Make sure there are no metal objects, such as jewelry, nearby as your device charges. After your device is charged, unplug the charging cable. The Fitbit Versa and Versa Lite features a similar cradle to the Blaze, but, like the older generation, it’s a bespoke solution. Thankfully, you don’t have to remove the watch face from its frame or even take off the strap here. The watch sits neat in the cradle (which doesn’t have to be opened first). When 1 day or less of battery life remains, a battery icon appears on your device as you tap through your stats. This is the official MagSafe charger from Apple, so you know it will work with your iPhone without issue. It might not be as cheap as some of the third-party options out there, but it's still the least expensive one that Apple sells. Who It's For The 18W USB-A charger included with the PowerWave 3-in-1 is less powerful and less useful than the 45W USB-PD one that comes with the Zens, but it’s still streets ahead of any proprietary charger.
