Is Wireless Charging Worth It?

If you’re tired of cables and thinking about switching to wireless charging, the short answer is: for most people, yes. But whether it makes sense for you depends on how you use your phone.

When Wireless Charging Is Worth It

• You charge overnight: Wireless charging is perfect for bedside use. You can simply set the phone down and pick it up in the morning.
• You want to protect your charging port: Constant plugging and unplugging can wear out the port. A wireless receiver reduces that stress.
• Your phone doesn’t have built-in wireless charging: Instead of buying a new phone, a small receiver can add the feature for a fraction of the cost.
• You prefer a tidy desk: One charging pad can replace multiple cables.

When It Might Not Be Worth It

• You always need the fastest possible charge: Standard 5W wireless charging is convenient, but not as fast as some wired fast chargers.
• You use a thick metal case or magnetic accessories: These can interfere with wireless charging.
• You rarely stay in one place while charging: Wireless charging works best when the phone stays on the pad.

The Affordable Way to Try Wireless Charging

You don’t need a new phone to try wireless charging. A wireless charging receiver plugs into your current phone and works with any standard wireless charger.
