Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Wireless Phone Chargers

Anker MagSafe Charger Pad Compatible

4.4

$18

The Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Pad delivers on its core promise of fast, reliable wireless charging at 15W for compatible iPhones. TechRadar called it 'the cure for my last-minute iPhone charging woes,' while Digital Camera World noted it 'does the job' with a simple, unobtrusive design. The pad is priced competitively at $18.99, significantly undercutting Apple's own MagSafe puck. However, reviewers noted it gets quite warm and is only useful for iPhones, even with MagSafe cases. It's best suited for iPhone users seeking a budget-friendly wireless charging solution.

Strengths

— Charges compatible iPhones at full MagSafe-approved 15W speed
— Competitive pricing at $18.99 (as of review)
— Unobtrusive design that doesn't get in the way while using phone

Watch-outs

— Limited use for Android devices (even with MagSafe cases)
— Gets quite warm during operation

Ranked #2 in Best Wireless Phone Chargers

Baseus Picogo

4.2

$39

The Baseus PicoGo Ultra-Slim MagSafe battery is praised for its incredibly thin profile at just 1cm and solid performance, offering 20W USB-C charging and up to 15W MagSafe charging. Android Central called it 'unbelievably good' as a travel power bank, while AppleInsider noted it's a strong alternative to Apple's $100 MagSafe Battery. However, reviewers noted the charging speed is limited by first-gen Qi tech and that actual capacity is lower than the stated 5,000 mAh. This product is ideal for users seeking a compact, reliable MagSafe battery but may not suit those needing maximum charging speeds.

Strengths

— Ultra-slim design at just 1cm thickness
— Charges at 20W over USB-C and up to 15W over MagSafe
— Supports passthrough charging for simultaneous device and battery charging

Watch-outs

— Charging speed limited by first-generation Qi technology
— Battery capacity rated at 5,000 mAh but closer to 2750-3250 mAh due to inefficiencies

How they stack up

Anker MagSafe Charger Pad Compatible

The Anker MagSafe Charger Pad Compatible is the most budget-friendly option at $18.99, but it's limited to iPhone charging and gets quite warm, unlike the Belkin UltraCharge which supports multiple devices and uses passive cooling. It also doesn't match the 25W speed of the Belkin or the 20W USB-C charging of the Baseus Picogo.

Baseus Picogo

The Baseus Picogo is ultra-slim and supports 20W USB-C charging, but it's limited to first-gen Qi technology and has lower-than-stated battery capacity. It's more compact than the Belkin UltraCharge but doesn't support triple-device charging, unlike the Anker MagGo 3-in-1, and lacks the MagSafe 15W speed of the Anker MagSafe Charger Pad Compatible.
