Now that we are done with the 3 most popular wireless charging standards, it is time to talk about what you will need to charge devices wirelessly. In this guide I'm going to cover charging smartphones. So if you have any other device in mind then you will need to wait a little longer for a guide on that. Ok the first thing you will need to do is check if your smartphone already has wireless charging built inside it. This matters because if that is the case then your device will only work with the wireless charging standard it is meant for. You can check below for a list of smartphones that have the Qi standard built inside. Smartphones With Qi Built-in
If your smartphone doesn't come with wireless charging then you will need a receiver. And this is where you have to choose between Qi and PMA. With Qi you have a good selection of different wireless chargers to choose from. On the other hand with PMA you can charge at Starbucks. However it seems that the Qi standard is winning as even Apple has added it to their newest iPhone models. So going with Qi is probably the best choice but it's up to you. After picking your standard, you can then choose a wireless charging pad. Finding a good charger is not an easy task. The reason is that there are just so many different products now. To be fair it also depends on which standard you have planned to go with. For example there are thousands of different wireless chargers for the Qi standard. PMA however only has like 2-3 at the moment and they are extremely hard to find. Mostly because of the insane amount of different Qi chargers available. So as you see finding the best wireless charger isn't exactly an easy task. You can check different review websites such as Tenpire, who have put together a list of the most popular chargers at https://tenpire.com/best-wireless-chargers/. They have reviewed quite a large amount of different wireless chargers in different categories and price ranges. Most of the chargers there are for Qi standard but there are also some for PMA. You can also just google for other websites such as them. There are hundreds of articles a like available for everyone and different tastes. I have put together my own list of some of my favorite wireless chargers as well. Best Wireless Charger For Qi

Could someone help me with a review of this wireless charger - https://bezalel.co/pages/prelude-wireless-charger. I'm planning to buy one for my Moto Gear 2. Though I don't know if it'll be the best one for my smartwatch. Thanks!
