the first portion of this segment is sponsored by AT&T wireless charging is not a new feature it's been around for quite a while now but only recently in the last two to three years has it become a more common feature in flagship phones one that we hope to see in all phones in the future it's just a convenient way to go about charging your phone and while we wait on a certain fruit company to release their wireless charger we figured we'd round up some of our favorites I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and here are four of the best wireless chargers around right now so first off let's talk about this AT&T fast charge wireless charging pad this thing is built like a tank this bottom construction is all-metal I imagine and anodized aluminum and then one of my favorite things is you've got this nice grippy texture on the top which keeps your phone from sliding around there are plenty of wireless chargers that do not have this rubberized top it you you would have to physically push hard to get this to come off this pad whereas some other ones they're not rubberized and they will slip off I've had phones that slip off my nightstand at night when you're using a charging pad that don't have a rubberized top this wireless charger also delivers 10 watts of wireless charging power and that's pretty fast for a wireless charger that means you can charge your phone in about 3 and a half hours from completely dead which is really good that's not amazing speeds especially when you compare it to a hardwired charger but for wireless charging that is not bad at all so this charger also has a built-in LED indicator around the ring and you can see the light ring turns blue and it will pulse while you're charging and when your phone is fully charged it will turn red to let you know that it's done charging the other thing is this one has a six to eight millimeter charge distance so I'm hovering this up over the charger it's not touching it's uh I don't know how far away but it's far enough away that there would definitely be room for a case in there next up we have the ravpower fast wireless charger this is much smaller much more lightweight the bottom is aluminum but it's very very thin compared to the AT&T charger in the top is this soft touch plastic it's not really rubberized you do have rubber feet on the bottom so the charger itself move but if you put a slick phone on this I was having trouble with this yesterday the phone was just sliding off so sitting on my desk maybe my desk isn't perfectly level and the phone was just gently sliding off this thing and and I'd set it down then 30 minutes later I'd come to my desk in my phone would be off the side so that is a problem unless you are using a case that gives it a little more grip enos and it's not gonna slide off then so again this one is thinner and smaller than the AT&T charger it's also cheaper this one's about 25 dollars worth the AT&T charger is about 50 so you do get that benefit there saving some money on a wireless charger you can see here at the bottom this one also puts out 10 watts max power so if you have a compatible fast wireless charging phone you can fast charge with this charger as well and yeah I think it's a quality option for the price and the one problem is just that slick top next up is something a little bit different this is the skosh magic melt Pro charge home slash office charger and this one is super grippy so this one that works a lot like those suction cup chargers for your car press this down clamp that and this sucker I can probably pick up the desk both lists but this it is on there really really well and this one you really have to pull on this to get it off the table once it's really secured so that suction is a ridiculously strong especially for a charger like this one thing you do have to be concerned with with this one is a flat surface something that's relatively smooth my other desk is not a smooth top and this thing just fell right over but with this one you can actually feed a cord through the bottom of it plug it in let's just plugged in you've got an LED indicator on the top there and once it's there you can just snap your phone to it and you're charging pretty simple you can turn it horizontal if you want however as you might have already guessed it's magnetic which means that you've got this here you have to put something on the back earphone or on back up your case so if you carry your phone in the case they provide these strips that you can attach it also tells you based on which phone you have if you have one of these popular models iPhone 8 Galaxy sa iPhone 10 eight plus a Galaxy S 8 plus or no date it tells you where to line them up with the bottom of the phone and where they'll go on the back of the phone and then the case will also work with this mount a fourth and final charger is from Samsung this is the Samsung fast charge wireless charger stand and while it looks like your standard chuck this one has a little bit of a hidden secret and slide it back until it's up just really really neat and around here on the back you see all this venting there is a built-in fan to keep this one cool this one does charge up to nine one so there are some that are up to ten this one's only up to nine the charges with the USB see you plug the USB C cable into the back and it is geared heavily towards Samsung's own phones it will work with others but you can charge just like you normally would with any old pad in either direction you can slide this back tilt it up it's also very agnostic to where you place your phone you can place it vertically there or donnelly down here it's still gonna charge let's take a second to register but it should also work with other phones as well it doesn't have to be a samsung phone and of course you may have noticed that there is a little LED indicator so when you place your phone on the charger it turns blue to let you know that it is charging so when it comes down to price on these chargers you can expect to pay $50 for either of these two options the AT&T fast charger or samsung slash charger both of those are about 50 bucks and get this rad power for about $25 a half the price of these two and this will falls around the middle this one is between 29 and 39 dollars depending on where you buy it that's gonna do it for this video if you
