All the chargers we tested are Qi-compatible. (Qi is pronounced “chee.”) Developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, it has become an almost universal charging standard.
In addition, these wireless chargers all support Samsung’s Fast Charge technology—if you have any relatively high-end Samsung phone from recent years, they should provide extra-fast charging.
The fastest model by far in our test is the Samsung 15W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Stand, $60, with an average charging time of 2 hours and 30 minutes. But what I really like about the Samsung is the design. As the name implies, it’s a stand, rather than a flat pad. That makes it easier to see the time and notifications on your phone while you charge it.
That’s particularly convenient on a nightstand, where it keeps you from having to fumble to see the time in the middle of the night. You can also place your phone on the stand horizontally for better video viewing.
For some people, a multidevice charger is the way to go. If you have more than one phone to charge, that can be a space saver. And it didn’t take the model we tested, the Anker PowerWave 10W Charger, $50, any more time to power up two phones than it did one.
There are also models out there that include specific charging spots for your smartwatch, wireless earbuds, and other compatible devices, further reducing the need for plugs and cables. (We didn’t test any of these chargers this time around.)
Note that our charging times can help you compare the charges, but how long it takes your phone to charge may vary. For one thing, it depends on the capacity of the battery—it takes longer to fill up a bigger tank, right?
Here are the detailed test results.
