Which charges an iPhone faster?

The UGREEN. It is Qi2.2-certified at up to 25W, while the Anker 313 is a standard Qi pad that delivers roughly 5W to 7.5W to an iPhone. Expect the UGREEN to be several times faster.

Will the UGREEN work with a Samsung phone?

It will charge a Qi-enabled Samsung phone, but the magnets only align with MagSafe iPhones. A Samsung without a magnetic case will sit loose on the pad and may charge slower.

Is the Anker 313 worth buying in 2026?

Only as a cheap secondary pad. Its Micro-USB port and slow Qi charging are dated, but it is fine for overnight charging or an AirPods case.

Do I need a power adapter for either one?

Yes. The Anker 313 ships with no power cord, and the UGREEN listing does not state a cable or adapter. For the UGREEN's 25W speed you need a USB-C adapter rated well above 25W.

Which is better for travel?

The UGREEN. It is ultra-thin and uses USB-C, so one cable covers it and your phone. The Anker needs a Micro-USB cable you likely do not carry anymore.

Does the Anker 313 support fast charging on Samsung?

No. Its 5V/2A input caps output at about 5W to 7.5W, well below Samsung Fast Wireless Charging. The UGREEN is the faster choice for any Qi phone.

UGREEN Qi2.2 25W Magnetic Wireless Charger vs Anker 313 PowerWave Pad

Buy the UGREEN if you have a MagSafe iPhone and want the fastest wireless charging; it is Qi2.2-certified at 25W and costs $25.99 as of November 1, 2026. The Anker 313 PowerWave Pad is an older 5W/7.5W-class Qi pad with a Micro-USB cable, so it only makes sense as a cheap bedside charger for a phone or earbuds case. No current price was given for the Anker, so compare it at checkout before deciding.
