Anker Wireless Charger — Complete Guide & Review

Yes. Anker wireless chargers, particularly the MagGo range, are excellent. They consistently rank among the best wireless chargers for iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones. The MagGo 15W 3-in-1 charging station is widely regarded as one of the best multi-device chargers available — it charges iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously with proper MagSafe alignment. Anker is a Qi2-certified manufacturer with millions of units sold and strong safety certifications. For those looking for alternatives, UGREEN Qi2 chargers offer comparable performance at a lower price point.

The Anker MagGo 15W 3-in-1 charging station wireless charger is a multi-device wireless charger that simultaneously charges an iPhone (15W MagSafe/Qi2), Apple Watch, and AirPods from a single unit. It features strong magnetic alignment for iPhone 12 and later, a pop-up Apple Watch charger, and a dedicated Qi pad for AirPods or a second phone. The station uses a single USB-C power input, keeping your desk clean. It's available in black and white, typically priced at £65–80 in the UK.

The Anker MagGo magnetic wireless charger is Anker's line of MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers that use magnets for perfect alignment. The range includes the MagGo pad (single device, 15W), MagGo stand (adjustable angle, 15W), MagGo 3-in-1 station, and MagGo portable battery pack. All MagGo chargers support Qi2 certification and work with iPhone 12 and later, plus any phone with a MagSafe-compatible case. The magnetic alignment ensures consistent charging speeds and prevents the phone from sliding off.

Yes. All Anker wireless chargers are backward-compatible with Qi, so they work with every Samsung Galaxy phone that supports wireless charging (Galaxy S10 and later, Galaxy Note 10 and later). Samsung phones charge at up to 10W on Qi pads. However, Samsung phones don't support MagSafe/Qi2 magnetic alignment, so they won't magnetically snap to MagGo chargers — they'll still charge if placed correctly on the pad. For the best Samsung wireless charging experience, consider a flat Qi2 pad rather than a magnetic stand.

Both are excellent. Anker's MagGo range has the edge for Apple ecosystems — the 3-in-1 station with Apple Watch charger is hard to beat. UGREEN Qi2 chargers typically cost 20–30% less while delivering identical 15W MagSafe speeds and Qi2 certification. UGREEN also offers better value on multi-port USB-C chargers that can power wireless pads. Our recommendation: Anker MagGo 3-in-1 if you need the Apple Watch charger built in; UGREEN Qi2 for everything else due to better value.

Anker's latest MagGo chargers deliver 15W to iPhone (via MagSafe/Qi2), 5W to AirPods, and standard Apple Watch charging speeds. Samsung phones receive up to 10W via Qi. By comparison, wired USB-C charging delivers 20–27W to iPhones and 25–45W to Samsung phones. Wireless charging is about convenience, not speed — you trade charging speed for the ease of dropping your phone on a pad. For the fastest possible wireless charging, ensure you use the included USB-C cable and a 20W+ USB-C charger to power the pad.

Most Anker wireless chargers include a USB-C cable but not a wall charger. You need a USB-C PD charger of at least 20W for single-device pads, or 30W+ for the 3-in-1 station. A UGREEN 30W GaN charger (£17.99) is the ideal companion — compact, affordable, and delivers enough power for any Anker wireless charger at full speed. Avoid using old 5W USB-A chargers as they'll limit your wireless pad to ~5W output regardless of its capability.

Yes, with caveats. MagSafe/Qi2 magnetic chargers work perfectly through MagSafe-compatible cases (under 3mm thick with built-in magnets). Standard Qi charging works through most cases under 4mm thick. Thick rugged cases (5mm+), metal cases, cases with built-in card holders, or cases with pop sockets will block or interfere with wireless charging. For the best experience, use a MagSafe-certified case from Apple, OtterBox, Spigen, or similar brands.
