Compact power banks have gotten a lot faster in the past year \u2014 and it\u2019s not just their USB-C charging speeds that have received a boost. The newest Qi2.2-certified models can wirelessly charge an iPhone 16 or later at up to 25W. Combine that with their ability to magnetically snap on via MagSafe, and you\u2019ve got yourself an essential add-on that\u2019s easy to take on the go.<\/p>\n

Qi2 is a magnetic wireless charging standard that\u2019s based on Apple\u2019s MagSafe tech, so almost all modern iPhones support it. While the latest iPhones offer the fastest charging rates, older models (dating back to the iPhone 12) support 15W Qi2 charging speeds, which is still suitably quick. (The iPhone 17E also maxes out at 15W, and the 16E doesn\u2019t have wireless charging at all.)<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Android phones are a mixed bag, with very few models supporting Qi2, let alone Qi2.2. Google\u2019s Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro Fold support Qi2 charging at up to 15W; the 10 Pro XL supports Qi 2.2 at up to 25W. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy 26 lineup is \u201cQi2 Ready,\u201d which means they can use Qi2 chargers at up to 15W if they have a magnet case. And that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p>\n

We know you want the best, whichever phone you have. Some of you may be willing to pay a lot for it, while others may simply want the best possible model for the least amount of money. Of the seven we tested \u2014 which vary in features, design, and charging speed \u2014 we landed on two picks that should satisfy most people\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

How we tested<\/h2>\n

We tested charging speeds for one hour<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Collapse<\/p>\n

We slapped each power bank onto an iPhone 17 Pro Max for an hour at a time, then onto a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (both without cases on). We picked these phones because they support Qi2.2 25W speeds and they have big batteries, making it a tough job for power banks to refill them. We observed that the Pixel is generally slower to charge wirelessly. Using plug-in wireless chargers (like Google\u2019s Pixelsnap Charger) with the Pixel 10 Pro XL resulted…<\/p>\n
