More valuable than that, I’ve saved myself from bending over numerous times to pick up my USB-C cable that somehow always ends up on the floor. Those with magnet-equipped phones (like the iPhone 12 or newer, or a Google Pixel 10 or 10 Pro phone) can reap similar benefits from a MagSafe-ready Qi2 charging puck. Anker’s MagGo 15W pad is one such model, and it’s down to $14.99 (originally $30) at Amazon during the company’s Big Spring Sale.Is 15W fast enough to quickly recharge your phone? If you define “quickly” as under an hour, then no. If you need a bunch of juice in just a few minutes, plugging in is your best bet. But is 15W perfect for leaving your phone to recharge overnight? Yes, indeed.RelatedThe portable Fanttik X9 Pro tire inflator is down to its best price in monthsFitbit’s budget-friendly Inspire 3 is $30 off, matching its best priceAnker Qi2 15W wireless charging pad$15$3050% off$15Anker’s low-cost charging pad has a five-foot USB-C cable, and the company claims you can leave your phone’s case on while you charge.

Assuming you already have one of those, it’s a nice accessory that makes it even easier than it already was to charge not just your phone, but your AirPods, too. Anker’s product page mentions support for Samsung’s Galaxy Buds, so it’s likely that other earbud models that have wireless charging-ready cases will work with this charging pad, too.Verge DealsSign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

Anker’s wireless charging pad is currently available for $14.99 on Amazon as part of the company’s Big Spring Sale, representing a 50% discount from its original price of $30. The product, specifically the MagGo 15W pad, utilizes Qi2 speeds, a newer standard for wireless charging, and offers convenience for users with magnetically-equipped smartphones like iPhones or Google Pixel devices. A key feature highlighted by Cameron Faulkner, an editor at The Verge, is the ability to charge phones without removing their cases, a common frustration addressed by this model. The charging pad includes a five-foot USB-C cable, facilitating flexibility in placement and minimizing cable clutter. Faulkner emphasizes that while 15W charging isn’t the fastest available, it’s perfectly adequate for overnight charging of devices. Importantly, the pad’s specifications note compatibility with Samsung’s Galaxy Buds, suggesting broader applicability to other wireless charging-enabled earbuds. Anker recommends a 25W Power Delivery adapter for optimal performance, although the adapter itself isn't included with the purchase. The MagGo 15W pad is positioned as a practical and cost-effective solution for everyday wireless charging needs, representing a worthwhile purchase for those seeking a streamlined and convenient charging experience. |
