Why wireless charging is ideal for Samsung smartphones
Samsung has long been at the forefront of wireless charging technology. Most Galaxy devices support the Qi standard, and recent models such as the Galaxy S25, S24, S23 and selected A-series phones offer fast wireless charging up to 15W. These models are also compatible with Qi2 only in combination with a magnetic phone cover.
What to look for when choosing a wireless charger
Charging power (wattage)
For Samsung smartphones, at least 10W is recommended, with 15W being the optimal choice.
- 5W: suitable for slow charging, for example overnight.
- 10W: a good balance between speed and heat management.
- 15W: the best combination of efficiency, charging speed and battery protection.
- 25W: the newest Qi2.2 offers a high wattage which is only compatible with newer Samsung phones, starting with the S26 Ultra.
Always use a powerful USB PD adapter or Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging adapter to achieve maximum performance.
Design and form factor
Your ideal charger depends on how and where you use it:
-
Charging pads: flat chargers, ideal for nightstands or desks
-
Charging stands: perfect for video calls or viewing content while charging
-
Multi-device chargers: charge multiple devices at once, such as a Galaxy phone and Galaxy Buds, while keeping your desk organised
Compatibility and safety
Always choose a Qi-certified wireless charger that is compatible with your specific Samsung model. A Qi-certified wireless charger is one that has the following three specs:
- Overcharge protection
- Active temperature control
- Foreign object detection
These features protect both your smartphone and the charger, extending their lifespan and improving overall safety.
