This wireless charger has MagSafe capabilities and a built-in phone stand that’s especially topple-proof. It comes with its own wall charger, but it’s on the bulkier side.

The Zens Magnetic Nightstand Charger costs more than our top pick, charges a bit slower, and has a bigger footprint. However, it has an incredibly sturdy stand, so it’s a better option for watching a movie in bed or taking a video call at your desk. This charger is worth the splurge if you plan to park your wireless charger semi-permanently in one spot.

It’s slower than our top pick, but it’s faster than most other wireless chargers. Like the Belkin charger, this one is rated to output up to 15 W but fell short in our testing. Compared with the 10.9 W we measured with the Belkin, we saw 7.7 W with the Zens charger.

That means it will charge your devices a bit more slowly than our top pick, but you likely won’t notice the difference—especially if you’re primarily using it to charge your phone overnight or during the workday.

It has MagSafe capabilities. Like our top pick, this model has internal magnets to better align compatible devices on the charging pad, reduce slippage, and let you use your phone while it’s charging. In our testing, this feature worked just as well as it did in the Belkin BoostCharge Pro.

It’s heavy but sturdily built. This model is heavier than most single-device wireless chargers—it weighs just over half a pound, not including the wall charger. But that weight keeps it from sliding around on your table or desk, and it seems solidly built overall. It also has four small, rubbery feet for extra grip.

It has an especially topple-proof stand. Its round charging pad can be flipped up to form a stand for your phone, and it’s much more robust than the toothpick-esque kickstands that most models (including our top pick) have. You can also adjust the viewing angle, which is rare for these stands.

It has a hidden compartment. Zens charger has a small divot underneath that’s lined with a grippy material, which (when the stand is upright) can be used as a handy catch-all for small items like hairpins, rings, paper clips, or a set of earbuds.

It comes with its own wall charger (but it’s not our favorite). This model comes with its own wall charger, so you don’t have to supply your own, as you do with our top pick.

Unlike that of our top pick, this model’s cord can be removed from the base, so you can use it as a non-charging phone stand if you have a full battery and want more mobility. Plus, it’s one of the few options we’ve seen with swappable international plugs. So you can use it while traveling in the EU or UK without having to buy an extra adapter.

However, the included wall charger is on the bulkier side, and since it has a barrel-shaped DC connector—rather than, say, USB-C—you can’t easily replace it if you lose or break it. And since it doesn’t come with a cable tie, as the Belkin model does, the cord is more prone to tangling.

It’s pricey, but it offers extra peace of mind. As of this writing, the Zens charger costs $65, which is twice the price of our top pick. On the upside, though, it’s WPC-certified (our top pick and other top contenders are not). And its three-year warranty is longer than most, so you have even more time to reach out to the company if issues arise.
