Which Phones Have Wireless Charging? Talkmobile's 2026 Guide

Key Points:

• Most modern smartphones feature some form of wireless charging with the tech being supported in the mainstream since 2017/18.
• The vast majority of iPhone and Android phones support Qi wireless at a bare minimum, with input power draw of 10-15W.
• Some Android flagship brands feature wireless charging as high as 50W and even nearing the 100W range, able to charge a phone from flat in less than an hour.

While the vast majority of today's smartphones utilise USB-C as standard for their power and charging capabilities, with the connection now default with even budget Android devices and all new iPhones since 2023, wireless charging is on the rise. Improved batteries, MagSafe, and Qi wireless functionality has meant many handsets have swapped from 15W to 25W, meaning they can be placed on a dock or pad to be juiced up in under an hour. We're going through which popular phones have wireless charging, how it works, and what it means when paired with a Talkmobile SIM Only plan.

Many modern smartphones have featured wireless charging as standard for the better part of a decade. Our full list goes through some of the biggest (and most well-known) manufacturers on the market. These are the big three brands (iOS and Android) which offer wireless charging in 2026.

Apple's iPhone smartphones have featured Qi Charging with 7.5W supported since the launch of the iPhone X and iPhone 11 series. This was then upgraded to be MagSafe and Qi2 compatible, with support for 15W charging (doubling the speed), that was introduced (and innovated) with the iPhone 12 and up to the previous-generation iPhone 16 series. The newest Qi2 standard debuted with support for 25W charging as standard on the iPhone 17 series and the iPhone Air as well.

Samsung makes some of the most popular Android smartphones on the market, and it's been a champion of wireless charging and wireless PowerShare for many years. The majority of Samsung Galaxy S Series flagships, Galaxy Z foldables, and Galaxy Note Series feature Qi2 wireless support. The only real exception is the wallet-friendly Galaxy A-series or M-series which do not typically have this tech inside as standard.

Google has supported wireless charging with its Pixel range of smartphones ever since the release date of the Pixel 3 in 2018. These older flagships supported Pixel Stand (2nd Gen) and third-party Qi chargers ranging from 7.5W to 10W. Things were substantially bumped up with the rollout of future Pixel devices, like the Pixel 6-9 Pro, ranging from 12W up to 23W with Pixel Stand. With third-party chargers, you're restricted to just 12W charging, around half the speed and power here, so be sure to pair with a proper charging unit for the best experience.
