Decent Wireless Chargers

[Cadder]

I'm after a couple of wireless chargers for our inbound Pixel 7 Pro handsets.

Our current Anker wireless chargers connect via Micro USB, have an annoying blue light and require perfect placement of the handset before they charge. I don't want this headache.

Can anyone recommend a good quality wireless charger? Ideally there would be no light on the charger and placing the handset on charge won't be a precision task. USB C connection would be the cherry on top.

Not to deter but aren't the wireless chargers incredibly slow whichever the option you go for?

I'd hope I'll be asleep long enough for it to fully charge my phone

Pixel stand? Only has a small light on the front that is barely noticeable and has usb-c

I have bought a Pixel stand for the office. Will see how that goes but any light at all will be enough to disrupt me. I like total darkness when I'm sleeping.

I would actually say the blue light - which indicates it's charging is more of a blessing

I tend to wait until my phone display shows that it is charging rather than use the light as an indicator.

Ah sometimes I'm half asleep when I put the phone on the pad. So don't always pay attention to the screen. But can at least see the faint blue glow without moving.

Your method is definitely more ergonomic and less clumsy than my approach. I did try to just wait until the phone vibrated to indicate charging but too often I'd find the phone hadn't charged overnight.

Really puzzled as to why there aren't many wireless chargers without the light. Might have to sink one into the bedside table..

The pixel stand charger is good in that it doesn't light up .the drawback is it has a fan in it which disturbs me trying to sleep. The search continues...

Did you find some actually?
Need one as well

I bought the £69 Pixel Stands (Gen 2). They have an in-built fan which, for me, isn't quiet even when in quiet mode. The fan has ramped up to what sounds like max speed during the night and woke us up.

I'm dealing with Google customer services who have sent a replacement that does the exact same thing. Ideally the next move will be a full refund so I can find a charger stand cheaper than £69 and is silent.

I recommended you one ages ago my man. The Belkin stand one.

Comes with the plug too... And cheaper on ebay

Arrived today. Looks like I've got someone's return the way the box was packed. Still, it seems a premium product. It looks good.

The one problem I can see I'll have is the LED indicator. I'm going to have to cover it up.

It's strange that there are no decent wireless chargers without LED indicators.
