Get rid of the wires and charge your Note 10 or Note 10+ with these

Share

The best wireless chargers give you an easy way to top up a phone, and the Galaxy Note 10 supports every standard you can think of, including Qi, PMA and Samsung’s own Fast Wireless Charging 2.0. The Note lineup supports extra-fast speeds of 12W and 15W respectively, but only with a select few chargers. Let’s round up the best wireless chargers for your new phone!

Staff pick

If you want the absolute best wireless charging speeds for your new Note 10, Samsung’s own 15W wireless charging stand is your best bet. It’s not cheap, but that’s because there’s a lot of tech inside. Charge your phone vertically or horizontally, cool down your phone with a fan, and change the fan speed and LED strength.

If you like wirelessly charging your phone anywhere and everywhere around the home, or perhaps at home at the office, Yootech’s value-minded two-pack is the perfect option. With 10W charging in both horizontal and vertical orientations, these are quality charging stands that keep your phone topped up all day, every day.

Two in one

Samsung Wireless Charger Duo Pad

There’s a lot to like about Samsung’s Duo Pad, which charges the Note 10 at its maximum wireless charging speed and a second gadget, like a Galaxy Watch Active or pair of Galaxy Buds, right next to it. If you’ve got the space (and the money), this is a great option.

Anker’s PowerWave 15 wireless charging solution is no-frills but delivers powerful 10W charging to all Samsung phones, and up to 15W with the right AC adapter. It has an anti-slip surface so your glass Note 10 won’t fall off, and it’s powerful enough to deliver a charge through a thick case.

All of the coils

CHOETECH Dual Wireless Charger

The more coils that a wireless charger has, the easier it is to not have to worry about placing the Note 10 just right. CHOETECH’s Dual Wireless Charger sports five total Qi coils, providing a much larger charging area. This way, you won’t have to worry about accidentally putting the phone down wrong.

This won’t charge your Note 10 at the fastest wireless speed, but it can wirelessly charge your phone or a Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Buds while you’re out and about, and if you need a quicker top-off, it offers 25W wired charging through one of the two USB-C cables on the bottom of the bank. It also recharges using the same USB-C cable as your Note.

iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless 2

  • $50 at Amazon

iOttie makes the best car chargers on the market and some of the best wireless chargers, as well, so get the both of all worlds with its wireless car charger, which will charge your Note 10 at 10W wirelessles while you’re on your way from Point A to Point B. For a phone as heavy as the Note 10+, I highly recommend the Dashboard-mounting version.

Be sure to choose your charger wisely

There are two kinds of wireless chargers: those that come with AC adapters included and those that don’t. Samsung’s chargers all come with the right charger and cable so you don’t have to worry about generating enough power at the wall to hit top wireless charging speeds.

Some of the chargers we’ve included, like Anker’s PowerWave 15, come with a right cable (in this case, a USB-C to USB-A cable) but no AC adapter. If you want to ensure top speeds for your Note 10, you’re going to want to buy a Quick Charge 3.0 (for USB-A to Micro-USB or USB-A to USB-C cables) or USB Power Delivery (for USB-C to USB-C cables) adapter separately.

If you’re confused, remember this: the more power you provide a wireless charger at the wall, the better. That’s because wireless charging is a lossy charging method, so if you want to give your phone the maximum 10W or 12W the wireless charger claims it can provide, the wall adapter will need to provide at least 18W, which requires Quick Charge 3.0 or USB-PD.

If we had to pick one

There are plenty of great options for you to choose from, but if you want the absolute top speeds and reliability for your new Note 10 or Note 10+, go with Samsung’s fancy new and expensive 15W Wireless Charging Stand. In addition to making it easy to see notifications as they come in, the Samsung charger has built-in fan cooling to make sure the Note 10 and Note 10+ don’t overheat while charging.

For something a bit more palatable but just as fast, Anker’s PowerWave 15 is the way to go. It’s small, reliable, and charges your phone quickly, and it uses a USB-C port for power, which ensures top speeds.
