Belkin has another model that adds MagSafe for the AirPods or AirPods Pro, but the whole thing is a flat pad that takes up more room and isn't as fun as the tree (what I call the stand).įast 15-W charging for iPhone 12 or newer, made for Apple devices The Apple Watch will stick to its little puck, and you can recharge your earbuds at the base. It's a MagSafe charger, so it'll suspend your magnet-enabled iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 as if it's floating in mid-air (and charge it at the fastest 15-watt speed, too). If you have an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods (or honestly, any kind of earbuds with a wireless charging case), you'll love this T-shaped Belkin stand.
IPHI E WIRELESS CHARGER FOR ANDROID
The good news is the first-gen Pixel Stand is still available for much less you can recharge your phone in landscape and portrait orientation, and I daresay it looks more interesting.Ĭompatible with iPhones, fast 23-W (Pixel 6 Pro), 21-W (Pixel 6), and 15-W charging for Android phonesĪh, the holy Apple trinity. The biggest downside? Charging only works in portrait orientation. This charger still works great with other smartphones, you just won't be able to access many of those Pixel features. There's a built-in fan to keep your device cool as it fast charges it's audible in a quiet room, but you can turn the fan off in your Pixel's settings to keep it silent. You can also convert your phone into a digital photo frame with Google Photos albums populating the screen, and have it trigger Bedtime Mode, which turns on Do Not Disturb and makes your screen grey to help you put your phone down. This charger is best paired with a Google Pixel smartphone because it enables additional perks, like turning your Pixel into a sunrise alarm clock that sees the screen glowing orange right before your alarm starts to ring, mimicking the sunrise. The LED on the second-gen Pixel Stand briefly lights up when you place a phone on it and disappears quickly so as to not bother you.

I've gotten used to simply plopping my phone down on a pad every night, and fishing for a cable in the dark feels like a chore. Still, I'm always disappointed when I test a phone that doesn't support it. It's not exactly wireless-a cord runs from an outlet to the charging pad-and it won't charge your smartphone faster than plugging it in with a good ol' cord. Wireless charging isn't nearly as cool as it sounds.
