Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Charging Pad 15W vs Native Union Drop Wireless Charger

The Belkin BoostCharge is the stronger pick for most people: it is Qi2-certified at 15W, comes with a 2-year connected equipment warranty, and buyers report it hits its rated speed. The Native Union Drop is a 10W pad capped at 7.5W on iPhone, so it charges slower, but its silicone tread, 6.5ft cable and leather strap make it a tidier desk piece. Owners of the Belkin note it is slow on Samsung phones that want more than 15W; the Drop is the more style-led, less powerful option.

• Choose the Belkin BoostCharge if you want the fastest wireless charging here, a longer warranty, and a pad that works with iPhone and Qi2 Android phones.
• Choose the Native Union Drop if you want a low-profile pad with a grippy silicone surface, a long tangle-free cable, and you mainly charge an iPhone or earbuds overnight.
