The best phones with wireless charging available

Phones with wireless charging make life easier. They save you from worrying about cables — just drop your phone on a pad and watch everything light up. Not to mention charging ports suffer from wear and tear the more you plug and unplug them. If you want to bid your charging cable farewell, here are the best phones with wireless charging capabilities.

Wireless charging was mainly available on high-end phones with glass or plastic backs — metal and wireless charging typically don’t mix. Not every flagship has the technology, but it has become an expected feature and most users now demand it. Even budget phones often feature it now.

The best phones with wireless charging:

Editor’s note: We will update this list regularly as new devices with wireless charging launch.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is all the hype, and it will easily be among the most popular line-ups of the year. All three devices — the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra — feature wireless charging and double up as power banks for your wireless accessories, thanks to reverse wireless charging. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though! Samsung has gone all out and equipped its latest flagship series with many powerful specs and features.

Among all these awesome features is wireless charging. All three devices support it. And while wired charging varies depending on which of the three versions you get, wireless charging is identical across the board. All Galaxy S23 versions can charge wirelessly at up to 15W.

There is a trick to reaching these speeds, though. You can only charge at 15W using an official Samsung wireless charger with an active cooling fan. You’ll have to conform with 10W wireless charging if you’re using other Qi chargers. We have put together a list of the best Samsung Galaxy S23 chargers, to help you find the optimal option.

Otherwise, all three phones are spectacular devices. They come with a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, 8-12GB of RAM, gorgeous Dynamic AMOLED 2X 120Hz displays, and fantastic camera experiences.

Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 7a

No best list of Android devices is complete without Google’s flagships. The search giant followed up on the smash hit Pixel 6 series with a lucky number seven. Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro look and feel even better, and they right a few of our issues with their predecessors.

Of course, both devices are among the best phones with wireless charging. Not only that, but both support fast wireless charging. The Pixel 7 has 21W wireless charging, while the Pro version takes things up a notch with 23W. Just keep in mind that not all chargers can reach these speeds. Check out our list of the best Pixel 7 chargers to find the right option. Additionally, you get reverse wireless charging, which means you can charge other devices with your phone.

Wireless charging is, of course, only the tip of the iceberg. Both devices come with the improved Tensor G2 chipset and either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. The AMOLED screens are gorgeous, and you get a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, depending on the version you get. Throw in the impressive camera performance Google devices are known for, and you got yourself a winning equation.

Now, if you feel like the other Pixel 7 devices are a bit too pricey, you can also consider the Google Pixel 7a. It’s an instant hit. Wireless charging is actually a very exciting feature here, as the Pixel 6a didn’t have it. It’s also a great phone in other departments. We loved its camera, performance, design, and improved 90Hz refresh rate.

Google Pixel Fold

Google has finally entered the foldable smartphone market, and it did so with a bang. The Google Pixel Fold is something else, offering a very unique form factor with two screens, a larger internal one, and a more manageable external display for more common tasks.

We can’t complain about performance, even if the device gets a little too hot to our liking. Even with all that screen real estate and power, the foldable achieves impressive battery life. During our review, we had a hard time killing the battery. One time we used it continuously for about eight hours and still had 70% left of juice.

Of course, this is also one of the best phones with wireless charging. The only complaint here is that it’s pretty slow at 7.5W. It’s still a great phone overall, though, which is why it’s staying on this list. Just be conscious of its $1,799 MSRP.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5

Of course, Samsung has foldable phones of its own. The Korean manufacturer has actually been the undisputed champion in this niche market for years, and its latest Galaxy  Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are amazing devices.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the most budget-friendly of the two, with a $999.99 MSRP. The design is gorgeous, and it finally folds almost flat, thanks to the improved hinge. There’s also a significantly larger external display, which Sammy calls Flex Window. And while most foldables have had no IP rating in the past, this one comes with an IPX8 certification. Not to mention the rear cameras are actually pretty solid for a flip phone.

If you need something with a bit more kick, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 makes almost no compromises. It has the same improved hinge and flat closing mechanism. We were impressed by the 120Hz AMOLED displays, and performance is second to none. Additionally, users will enjoy S Pen support.

Both options are among the best phones with wireless charging, even if they charge wirelessly only at 15W.

Nothing Phone 2

Nothing Phone 2 gets back to the basics and offers a solid experience for a price that’s hard to beat. It’s no surprise to see it on this list of the best phones with wireless charging, offering 15W speeds, and 45W charging when juicing up wired.

Otherwise, the phone is excellent. The design is straightforward, yet so awesome-looking, with its flashy lights and transparent back. We also loved its LTPO OLED display; it’s bright, vibrant, and features a 120Hz refresh rate.

While the processor isn’t the latest and greatest, its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and 8-12GB of RAM make it very snappy. It also has pretty awesome battery life. We could make it last a bit over 1.5 days on a single charge.

All things considered, it’s hard to beat this phone considering it has a $599 starting MSRP.

ASUS ZenFone 10

Some of us love smaller phones, but for some reason, manufacturers only make humongous high-end handsets. Where are the good devices with a more discrete profile? The ASUS ZenFone 10 is one of your best options, and it’s also one of the best phones with wireless charging.

As it goes with most of the options here, this ASUS device comes with 15W wireless charging. Other benefits include a great build quality and minimalist design. Performance is also impressive, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and up to 16GB of RAM. And despite its smaller size, battery life is pretty nice; we managed to make it last a full day on a single charge.

Our complaints about it are minimal. The update commitment promises only two major OS upgrades, and the device gets pretty hot. We also missed the ability to shoot photos with a telephoto lens, which this device lacks. Otherwise, the phone is great

Sony Xperia 1 V

This is the best phone from Sony you can currently get. The Xperia 1 V is also mighty expensive at $1,399 MSRP, but it is definitely one of the best phones with wireless charging, offering 15W of no-cord charging.

You get a large 4K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, one of the fastest available chipsets, a headphone jack, and even a microSD card slot. The battery comes in at 5,000mAh, and we were able to make it last two days with light use, or over a day when we gave it hell. It’s an excellent phone for creators, offering super camera autofocus, stellar video capture, and a few unique content-creator apps.

The biggest drawback of the device is its price, which comes in at $1,399.99 MSRP. But this is actually much better than the previous generation, which started at $1,599.99!

Motorola Razr Plus

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is great, but it’s no longer the only competent flip phone in the market. The Motorola Razr Plus (known as the Razr 40 Ultra outside the US) gives it some serious competition, and it’s also one of the best phones with wireless charging around.

Just like Samsung’s device, the Razr Plus costs $999.99. It also has a large cover screen, and was actually the first large manufacturer to make external displays on folding phones this big. It’s also gorgeously designed, and feels very solidly built. We also loved its smooth and clean software.

We wish the cameras were better, an area where Samsung certainly wins. And battery life averages at about one day, in our experience. It’s always good to have options, though, and the Motorola Razr Plus offers that to flip phone enthusiasts. The only significant downside is wireless charging is pretty slow at 5W.

Apple iPhone 14 series

Thus far, we’ve stuck with Android devices in our best wireless charging roundup, but we have to tip our cap to Apple’s iPhone 14 family. This year, the flagship range consists of 4 devices: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are almost identical, with the most significant difference being the screen and battery sizes. They are minor upgrades over their predecessor, even sporting the same chipset. They also look the same, still featuring a big notch up top.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are also almost the same devices, with the exception of having different screen sizes and battery capacities. They are a bigger upgrade over their predecessors, though, featuring an improved camera, an always-on display, the latest A16 Bionic chipset, and the new Dynamic Island.

All four iPhones support 15W Magsafe wireless charging and 7.5W Qi wireless charging.

Apple iPhone SE (2022)

If you don’t want to spend too much money, the iPhone SE is still a great device with wireless charging. It gets a downgrade compared to the iPhone 14 series, though. The iPhone SE doesn’t attach magnetically to Magsafe chargers, and doesn’t support 15W wireless charging. Instead, you have to settle with 7.5W.

The good news is that the phone is pretty affordable for an iPhone, with a $429 MSRP. That’s a great deal considering you get an Apple A15 Bionic, which is the same processor found in the iPhone 13 series, as well as the non-pro versions of the iPhone 14 series.

It also gets 4GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, a smaller 4.7-inch Retina Display, and a pretty good camera. It even comes with an IP67 rating for water and dust protection. This is rare to get in affordable handsets.
