Wireless chargers<\/a> can add convenience to your space while also removing those pesky, messy cords. If you have a number of devices you use regularly, like an iPhone or Android phone, wireless earbuds and a smartwatch, it may be worthwhile to pick up a wireless charger that can power them all up simultaneously. Multi-device wireless chargers keep all of your most used devices neatly in one place while they recharge, making them a good option for your desk or nightstand. There are dozens of these accessories out there today, and we\u2019ve tested a bunch of the most popular models. You\u2019ll find out top picks below, plus some advice on how to choose the right multi-device wireless charger for your needs.<\/p>\n It won\u2019t be shocking to hear that your smartphone choice influences your choice in a wireless charger. Only iPhone owners will need to consider Apple Watch<\/a> compatibility. Likewise, you\u2019ll need an Android phone if you expect to power a Galaxy Watch<\/a>. Buy an iPhone 12 or newer and you can attach your phone magnetically using MagSafe, while the latest Android phones often have some form of fast wireless charging.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s not simply a question of getting the fastest charger. You should consider what you might buy in the future. Don\u2019t buy a two-device charger if you have an iPhone and AirPods, but have been eyeing an Apple Watch. And if you think you might switch to an Android cell phone (or vice versa), you\u2019ll want to get something more generic that doesn\u2019t lock you into any one ecosystem.<\/p>\n Some chargers include cradles, trays and other features that are heavily optimized for particular products, and might not even account for year-to-year changes. Some vertical stands are too tall for small phones like the iPhone 13 mini<\/a>, for instance. While you can never completely guarantee that next year\u2019s phone or watch will work, it\u2019s worth buying something more likely to last.<\/p>\n Having said all this, don\u2019t be afraid to get a charger with vendor-specific features if you\u2019re fiercely loyal to one brand. Apple isn\u2019t expected to ditch MagSafe any time soon, and Samsung will likely keep making Galaxy Watches for a while to come.<\/p>\nDo wireless charging pads work with any phone or device?<\/h2>\n
