Finding the right style that fits your needs

Which charger you go with will ultimately depend on your budget and design preference, but I personally use and recommend the iOttie iON Mini. It offers support for wireless fast charging to top up your Galaxy S9 as fast as possible. I also personally love the fabric finish and it never looks out of place whether it’s on a bedside table, in the living room, or set up at my desk.

Of course, if you spend just a bit more you can snag the stylish Samsung Convertible Wireless Charging Pad/Stand, which is even better at a discounted price compared to the price when it first launched. It’s a specifically smart option if you love using Samsung phones and can easily convert into a stand for better viewing angles at your desk.

No matter what charging stand you choose, you’ll probably need a Quick Charge 3.0 wall charger to get the best charging speeds.
