How to choose a wireless charger for your devices

Although it might seem that the popularity and a great assortment of wireless chargers should make the choice much easier, it is in fact surprisingly challenging to select the right one, so that you could have everything you are looking for in one box. Don’t worry, we are here to provide you with a useful guide that will simplify the task:

1. The first rule is always to choose Qi charging. Despite the fact that it might sound obvious, there are other charging standards.
2. Consider power. The basic one should start at 5W. However, the majority of smartphones support faster charging (up to 10W). If the charger output is less, your phone will charge quite slowly.
3. Pay attention to the standard connectors that connect the charging pad with a wall outlet. Some use not standard micro USB but some intricate jacks. If you don’t want problems, try to avoid them.
4. Check if the charger you are going to buy comes with your wall adapters that can provide enough wattage to allow it to charge at full speed. It would be a pity if you invest in a charger that is capable of 10W while your wall jack allows no more than 5W.
5. Do not forget about the brand. If your smartphone is expensive enough, you do not want it to get burnt because of a low-quality charger. That is why it is more reasonable and reliable to select proven brand names. Just to be on the safe side.
6. Decide on the size and aesthetics. Wireless chargers now come in a variety of different styles and sizes. Some are big, while some are rather small, some are flat, while others will charge your smartphone at an angle. So, you should consider where you are going to use it: some are better for a desk, others – for a nightstand.
7. Remember about your personal style. If you like to stand out from the crowd, you can opt for some weird shapes and materials.
