Belkin BoostCharge Pro Universal Wireless Charging Pad vs Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Pad (Qi2, 15W)

Buy the Anker MagGo if you own an iPhone 12 or newer: its magnet array snaps the phone into place and Qi2 gives a true 15W charge. Buy the Belkin BoostCharge Pro if you want one pad for a mix of phones, including Android, since it charges any Qi device without needing magnets. Prices were not supplied for either pad, so check the current store prices on this page before deciding.

    What reviewers say

    Belkin BoostCharge Pro Universal Wireless Charging Pad

    Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 from 9 ratings. Most say it is easy to use and charges reliably, including through a case on a Pixel 7 Pro and with a Galaxy S24. The main complaint is thin documentation.

    Pros
    • Easy to use and makes charging a breeze
    • Works well with Pixel 7 Pro in a case
    • Good wireless charger for Samsung S24
    • Works just fine
    Cons
    • Could use more instructions

    Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Pad (Qi2, 15W)

    Owners generally rate the MagGo pad well for its strong magnets and reliable 15W charging on iPhones. Common complaints center on the missing wall adapter and the flat, non-stand design.

    Pros
    • Strong magnet grip
    • Charges at full 15W with a proper adapter
    • Compact and travel-friendly
    Cons
    • No charger included
    • Phone must lie flat
    • Gets warm during fast charging

    Questions and answers

    Which is better for an iPhone?
    The Anker MagGo. Its magnets center the phone on the coil every time, and Qi2 delivers 15W to iPhone 12 and later. The Belkin also charges an iPhone at up to 15W but you must align it by hand.
    Which is better for a Samsung or Pixel phone?
    The Belkin. It charges any Qi phone, and buyers report it working with the Galaxy S24 and Pixel 7 Pro in a case. The Anker's magnets do not attach to most Android phones.
    Do either of them charge faster than the other?
    Both top out at 15W, so speed is close. Real speed depends on your phone and on using a 20W or higher USB-C power adapter, which neither pad includes.
    Can either charge two devices at once?
    No. Both are single-device pads with one charging coil.
    Is the Anker worth extra over the Belkin?
    Only if you have a MagSafe-era iPhone and value the magnetic snap. Otherwise the Belkin covers more phones for the same job. Compare the current prices above before you decide.
    Do they come with a power adapter?
    Neither listing includes a wall adapter. You need a USB-C PD adapter of 20W or more to reach 15W on either pad.
