The Pixel 3 and 3 XL were the first devices of the series to support wireless charging, paving the way for the feature to appear on future Pixels. Google took a unique approach to the Pixel 3's wireless charging, however, by only allowing fast charging speeds on explicitly supported models. This dramatically limits your selection for wireless chargers that support the full 10W rate, but if you don't mind stepping down to 5W, there are plenty of other options that'll work just fine.
Made specifically for the Pixel 3 series, the Pixel Stand delivers fast charging speeds and turns your phone into a showcase for Google Photos.
You'll get the standard 5W charging speed for both Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL with the Belkin Boost Up in your choice of black or white. We also love how compact it is!
Just like the other Belkin Boost Up Pad, this one also delivers 5W wireless charging to the Pixel 3. The only difference is that it's a stand.
The 5W charging you get with this Samsung charger isn't quite as snappy, but we love the option of laying the Pixel 3 flat or propping it up.
Is price your main concern? The PowerWave offers 5W charging at a great value. Just keep in mind it doesn't come with a Quick Charge wall adapter.
The dual charging coil allows you to power your Pixel in both landscape and portrait modes at 5W. It features a unique and stylish fabric design that we love.
Rather than needing to be plugged into a power outlet, this pick from Mophie is actually a portable battery pack that features a Qi wireless charging pad.
For the price of one wireless charger, this bundle from Yootech gives you two — a pad and a stand. You just need to supply the AC adapter to get going.
This is an absolute steal and value for your money. CHOETECH includes a sleek charging stand with an LED light and 5W charge speeds at an unbeatable price.
Want fast wireless charging? Get ready to spend more
While the Pixel 3 and 3 XL both support the universal Qi wireless charging standard, they work a bit differently than other phones. The Pixel 3 will charge on any Qi charger, but unless it's an official Google-approved one, you'll max out at 5W speeds.
If you want the full 10W fast wireless charging goodness with the best experience possible, we recommend splurging for the Google Pixel Stand. Not only does it get you that top speed, but it gives the Pixel 3 some unique features when it's docked — such as showing pictures saved to Google Photos and having the display showcase warm colours before your alarm goes off to help you wake up more peacefully.
Unfortunately, the Pixel Stand isn't cheap. Double, unfortunately, there are hardly any third-party wireless chargers that retain the 10W speed. Your other third-party options include the Belkin Boost Up Pad. It may lack the unique features found on the Pixel Stand, but it does deliver 5W wireless charging for a bit less money. Boasting a sleek design, thoughtful engineering, and Foreign Object Detection, this compact wireless charger will give you and your phone excellent service.
For a more sophisticated and modern feel, a charger with textured fabric like the ESR Lounge Stand will spruce up your space while juicing up your phone. Even though it limits you to 5Wcharging speeds, it does come with a dual coil which lets you charge in either portrait or landscape mode.
