The sheer number of Qi wireless charging pads continues to grow, and with each new entry, they seem to be getting more and more refined. Enter this new one by Native Union. It’s small and bespoke, yet pretty cool looking: space gray with a silicone tread pad and a long braided cable. It doesn’t come with a wall charger, however, which explains why it costs about the same as many other wireless chargers. But if you have a 10-watt (or more) wall charger, this Qi wireless charging pad will be able to fast charge any supported smartphone, including an iPhone X.
The Native Union Drop Wireless Charger was announced at this year’s CES and just became available to order.
(Note: If you’re looking for a wall charger to pair with this Qi-wireless charger, you’ve got options. Apple sells a 12-watt wall charger for $19. Anker also sells affordable and powerful wall chargers, like this 18-watt charger for $16.)
