Anker’s $15 Qi2 Wireless Charger Matches Fast Speeds

The convenience of a wireless charging pad is often measured in small, cumulative victories. It saves you from fumbling with cables and spares you the daily ritual of retrieving a cord from the floor. For owners of modern smartphones with magnetic charging capabilities, like the iPhone 12 and newer or the Google Pixel 10 series, a Qi2-certified magnetic charger like the Anker MagGo 15W pad can deliver that same effortless experience. Currently, this accessory is available for just $14.99, a significant discount from its usual $29.99 price, as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale at both Amazon and Walmart.

When it comes to charging speed, it’s important to set realistic expectations. A 15W wireless charging pad is not designed for rapid, sub-hour top-ups. If you need to gain a substantial amount of battery life in mere minutes, using a wired connection remains the superior option. However, for its intended purpose of overnight charging or maintaining your phone’s battery throughout the day on a desk or nightstand, this 15W speed is perfectly adequate and reliable.

The Anker MagGo pad comes with a five-foot USB-C cable but does not include a wall adapter. For optimal performance, Anker suggests using a 25W adapter that supports Power Delivery. If you already have a compatible power brick, this pad becomes a versatile accessory. It simplifies charging not only for your phone but also for compatible wireless earbuds. The product listing specifically mentions support for Samsung Galaxy Buds, indicating that most earbud cases equipped for Qi wireless charging should work seamlessly with this charger.
