Best wireless phone chargers

Top pick: Liquipel Powertek 3-in-1 Qi2 15W Tri-Fold Pad with Stand — Qi2 is the current standard, so it charges iPhone and Android fast and safely, and the tri-fold design lets it lie flat or stand your phone up for video calls and bedside use. It's the best-rated pad here by a clear margin.

Who the others suit:

• Belkin Magnetic Pad 15W with Pop-Up Stand — if you want a magnetic snap-on pad from a known brand with a stand, and a two-year warranty matters to you (the plain Belkin pad carries one).
• onn 10W Qi Pad — the simplest, no-frills flat pad for a nightstand or desk where speed doesn't matter.
• Anker 10W Pad with cable and wall charger included — if you'd rather not hunt for a power adapter; Anker is the most reliable budget name.
• Swayvoo 25W Fast Pad — if you have a recent Android phone that supports high-wattage wireless charging and want the fastest top-up.
• ETEPEHI Magnetic Charger — a cheap magnetic puck for travel or a second room.

Skip the 5W Anker PowerWave Lite+ unless you only need overnight trickle charging.
