Fit ledger — need → measured evidence
■ The catch — co-equal billing, always
Most phones can't use its headline 25W. Full speed needs an iPhone 16+ on iOS 26 or a Pixel 10 Pro XL — every other phone charges at 15W here, no faster than a $40 pad. The active-cooling fan is also faintly audible on a silent nightstand.
Dealbreaker? The Anker MagGo Stand runner-up does 3 devices at 15W for $72 — no fan, no wasted 25W ↓

Phantom 25W
Only an iPhone 16+ on iOS 26 or a Pixel 10 Pro XL can actually pull the new Qi2.2 25W. Every other Qi2 phone caps at 15W no matter which charger you buy — don't pay the 25W premium for a phone that can't use it.
The missing brick
Many chargers marketed as "25W" ship with a cable only. Without a 25W+ USB-C adapter the charger quietly defaults to 15W — budget for the brick, or buy a pick that includes one.
Samsung can't snap
Samsung Galaxy phones don't support Qi2 magnetic alignment as of early 2026. They charge on any flat pad but won't snap into a MagSafe-style ring — match the charger to the phone before you buy a magnetic stand.
