Wireless charging

The presence of wireless charging in a charger means it can charge a compatible smartphone without a cable, while versions like MagSafe and Qi2 also offer magnetic alignment for more precise and convenient attachment. This is particularly handy at home, in the office, or by the bed when the phone can simply be placed on the pad or stand without searching for the port.

MagSafe is mainly aimed at the Apple ecosystem, while Qi2.0 develops the same idea of magnetic positioning as an open standard, with the newer Qi2.2 revision additionally offering increased power up to 25W. Compared to regular wireless charging without magnets, this option seems more practical because the smartphone aligns better with the charging area and is less dependent on how accurately it is placed on the device.

Wireless charging power

The key indicator that determines the speed of wireless energy transmission to the device's battery. The higher this value, the faster the gadget will recharge: for example, a 15W charger will complete the task significantly faster than basic 5W models.

Unlike the wired method, a portion of the energy is inevitably lost as heat, making the wireless method generally less efficient than a cable. It is also important for proper operation that the charger's power matches the smartphone's technical specifications; otherwise, the speed will be limited to the minimum value.

Cable length

The length of the cable supplied with or included with the charger. For wireless models, the length of the power cable of the charger itself is indicated here, for wired models, the length of the cord for charging gadgets

Anyway, a longer cable gives more freedom of movement, but it creates inconvenience for short distances. Also note that charging is supposed to be used in the immediate vicinity of sockets, so wires longer than 2 m are practically not found among such devices. A length of more than 1.5 m is considered significant, from 1 to 1.5 m — medium, from 0.5 to 1 m — small, and in some models there are wires shorter than 0.5 m.
