With it, you can quickly and easily recharge the battery without resorting to untangling wires and finding a free outlet. More and more manufacturers of mobile devices are paying attention to this very convenient technology.
Despite the fact that these models appeared on free sale just a couple of years ago, today they are quite widespread among consumers. In stores you can find a decent selection of these products. Many potential buyers are lost in this variety and do not know which particular design will be most suitable for them. To help you solve this problem, we decided to make a rating of the best wireless chargers of 2019.

Summary of the rating:
How to choose a wireless charger for your phone?
At the heart of any similar device are two induction coils, one of which works on reception and is located in a mobile phone, the other on transmission. The transmitter is located directly in the housing of the charger: when it is connected to a household electrical network, an electromagnetic field appears in it. If a receiving coil is located in the charging action field, then such a field is also formed in it. Due to this, an electric current appears, which will charge the mobile phone. The main condition for fast and high-quality battery charging is to maintain a small distance between the mobile phone and the station itself.
Today on sale you can find several varieties of such products - desktop, automotive, built-in, characterized by the original design and so on. Desktop models are designed for stationary charging smartphones. They are round in shape or are made in the form of a stand on which the gadget is placed vertically or with a slight slope. There is a product that is built into various furniture, for example, a desk or computer desk. A very convenient design is car charging, as you don’t have to look for wires again, connect them to the cigarette lighter socket and the like.
The main thing when using this product is the need for a reliable installation, so that during movement or shaking of the vehicle the structure does not fall off its place. Be sure to look at a value such as the maximum output current when buying - usually it is 1000 mAh. This option will be quite enough to work with most gadgets. However, there are energy-intensive smartphones equipped with a more demanding process and a display with high resolution. For such models, charging with 2000 mAh is required. With the help of wireless charging, it will be possible to keep the connector of the mobile phone, intended for connecting the charger, in its original form throughout the entire service life.
When choosing products to include in our review of the best wireless chargers, we were guided by all the factors considered, and also took into account the price-quality ratio of products, took into account user reviews.
