Best Wireless Chargers for Pixel 4 Android Central 2020
"What's the best Pixel 4 wireless charger?" That's a surprisingly hard question to answer. After being hobbled on the Pixel 3, Google has answered our prayers and made the Pixel 4 more widely compatible with fast Qi charging by supporting 10W charging on far more chargers through the Extended Power Profile, but finding EPP chargers has needed a decoder ring and a fair amount of luck, but I think we've cracked it with this group. There are plenty of amazing wireless chargers out there. And whether you prefer vertical stands that you can use with Motion Sense's swift face unlocking and flat pads, there are ample options now for the Pixel 4.
- Name-brand quality: Anker PowerWave Alloy Pad
- Looking slick: Yootech 15W Wireless Charger with Cooling Fan
- Fancy photo slideshow: Google Pixel Stand
- Thin, but powerful: Choetech USB-C 15W Wireless Charger
- Outfit your home: Yootech 10W Wireless Charging Pad Stand Bundle
- On the go: Aukey Wireless Power Bank 8,000mAh
Name-brand quality: Anker PowerWave Alloy Pad
Staff PickAnker has a lot of wireless chargers available, but this is one option that users consistently report a quick charge for the Pixel 4. Even better, this is one of the few Anker pads that is compatible with Power Delivery or Qualcomm QuickCharge.
Looking slick: Yootech 15W Wireless Charger with Cooling Fan
This 15W stand is more conducive to sitting next to your laptop at your desk or keeping your phone propped up in the kitchen while you're working on that new recipe. And the built-in fan should help keep things cool while your Pixel 4 charges.
Fancy photo slideshow: Google Pixel Stand
This was the only charger for the Pixel 3 that would charge at top speed, but the Pixel 4 isn't limited anymore. If you want the Google look, though, the Pixel Stand is designed for the Pixel line, looks quite clean in white, and has a special slideshow mode when docked.
Thin, but powerful: Choetech USB-C 15W Wireless Charger
Choetech has a couple of wireless pads that should charge the Pixel 4 at top speed, but this model is the best-looking of the bunch, as well as being one of the thinner Qi pads around if you like to bring your Qi pad on trips. It also comes with an AC adapter.
Outfit your home: Yootech 10W Wireless Charging Pad Stand Bundle
This bundle features a 10W pad and a 10W stand, allowing you to jumpstart your Qi charger collection without breaking the bank. Just keep in mind to reach top speed, these pads need to be powered by a QC3.0 wall adapter.
On the go: Aukey Wireless Power Bank 8,000mAh
If you often find yourself needing to charge while you're away from an outlet, this power bank won't boost a Pixel 4 at 10W, but it will charge wirelessly at 5W or wired at 18W if you're in a hurry.
These are the best Pixel 4 wireless chargers
FINALLY! We can use more regular Qi chargers for fast-charging the Pixel 4! This is awesome for so many reasons, but mostly because that means we can save some money buying chargers that aren't 80 bucks like the Pixel Stand! The Anker PowerWave Alloy is compact and affordable while still giving us the fast charging we want, and Anker is a name we trust to the moon and back. Even better, unlike 90% of the Qi chargers on the market, you can use Power Delivery, so you won't have to go hunting for an older Qualcomm QuickCharge wall adapter to power it at top speed.
If you're looking for a stand but don't feel like paying big bucks for Google's version, Yootech's 15W stand is a great alternative that should be able to fast-charge just about every phone you throw at it. Plus, the built-in fan should keep things from overheating when you're charging for long periods. I like stands for the living room and the office where I can perch my phone next to my laptop or my drink coaster, whereas flat pads are great for the bedroom where they'll keep the screen from shining into your face if you get a notification in the middle of the night.
The best Pixel 4 wireless charger will be one that charges the device quickly, is compact and sleek in design, and affordable. And all of these fit the bill.
