Best wireless chargers for your Galaxy S21: Fast and multifunctional

The Samsung Galaxy S21 series is coming in less than 10 days, having been scheduled for a January 14 announcement, and it is shaping up to be quite a start for Samsung‘s new year. Sadly, the official announcement will be lacking much excitement because everything important about the Galaxy S21 series is pretty much known at this point. Everything has been summed up in our rumor review which is available right here, but for the most part, you need to know that we expect three devices powered by the Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 chipset, improved cameras, and prices ranging between $899 and $1,349.

One of the rumored features of the Galaxy S21 series, or the lack thereof, is the lack of a charger inside the Galaxy S21 boxes, at least in Europe. The staple accessory has been inside pretty much any smartphone package forever, but Apple’s courage is once again very likely to send ripples throughout the industry and urge Android’s mightiest to follow suit.

The Galaxy S21 has already been certified for 9W reverse wireless charging and 25W wired charging, though there’s no solid information as to how powerful the wireless charging would be.

Samsung 15W Fast Charge 2.0 Wireless Charger Stand

Undoubtedly, this one is the perfect match for your next Galaxy. As it supports Samsung’s proprietary Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, it’s capable of delivering a 15W charge to your device wirelessly. This means that theoretically your phone won’t charge as fast as it would with a wired charger, but it would still be faster than what most run-of-the-mill wireless chargers could deliver. Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 is supported by Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, S10e, S10, S10+, Note 20, Note 20+, Note10, and Note10+, but the upcoming Galaxy S21 family of phones will certainly support it as well. This doesn’t mean you can’t charge your non-Samsung Qi-enabled device on this wireless charger, it’s just that your charging speed may vary. The Wireless Charger Stand is equipped with a fan to cool off the internals as well as LED lights. Both of these can be disabled as you wish to ensure for a good night’s sleep. The charger comes with a power brick and USB-A to USB-C cable.

Samsung 15W Wireless Charger Duo Pad

In case you’ve got a Samsung wearable or are planning to get one along with your S21, then the Wireless Charger Duo Pad would be the perfect match for your wireless charging needs. As evident by its design, this charge lets you charge a phone and a smartatch/earbuds simultaneously, which is a mighty convenient option. You can also charge a second Galaxy phone if that’s necessary. With Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 support, this dual-charging pad can also deliver a maximum 15W charging speed. A pretty neat option to consider if you’d love to supplement your Galaxy S21 experience with another Samsung wearable. Still, have in mind that charging two devices at the same time might have a slightly negative effect on charging speeds.

This one combines the ease of use of Qi wireless charging with the convenience of a portable battery bank. Sadly, it doesn’t support fast-charging and can only deliver around 7.5W of wireless power to your Galaxy phone, but once again, we’ve chosen to include it as it’s a pretty convenient accessory. The 10,000mAh capacity will let you top up your Galaxy S21 up to two times depending on which model you go for, and aside from charging one device with the Qi plate at the top, you can also juice up two other devices thanks to the USB ports on deck. Mind you, this powerbank supports 25W superfast wired charging, which could come in handy if you’re in a hurry.

This Anker wireless charger matches Samsung’s best wireless charger and delivers up to 15W of power wirelessly. This makes it a perfect match for all current Samsung flagships as well as the upcoming Galaxy S21. The non-slip design of the so-called PowerWave Alloy Pad does not only look stylish, but also helps dissipate the heat away from your device.

Spigen’s take on the wireless charging business is a convertible one: you can use it as a convenient stand to prop up your phone up, or push it down to have a charging pad. Aside from this multifunctionality, this wireless charger is also rated at up to 15W of wireless charging, which is fast enough to meet the demands of all the current Samsung flagships and certainly satisfy Galaxy S21’s power hunger.
