Product Information

The most important thing to look for when shopping for the best wireless charger for your needs is whether it's compatible with your phone. If a wireless charger is Qi certified, it should support your iPhone, Samsung phone or other Android phone. But note that the wattage support will vary from charger to charger. Most chargers support 10W charging for Android phones and 7.5W charging for iPhones, although if they support Apple's MagSafe standard, then you can charge an iPhone 12, 13 or 14 at up to 15W instead. For Leica’s latest innovation, we’re thrilled to have played a part in bringing their vision to life. The Leica Q3, the newest edition of the bestselling Leica Q, is a compact point-and-shoot for creatives on-the-go. It’s also their first camera ever to support wireless charging, and that’s where we came in. This is the only charging stand in our guide that works with iPhones, iPads and Android devices because it doesn’t have a cable built into it. Instead, you use the charging cable you already have, and snake it through holes built into the stand.

The culmination of this partnership is a uniquely convenient solution that keeps your camera always shoot-ready and the rest of your tech prepared to hit the road. These visual updates reimagine Drop XL Wireless Charger with an homage to the distinctively sleek aesthetic of the Leica Q3, acting as an extension of the camera and bringing visual coherence to the overall charging experience of your Q3 and more. Subtle but impactful touches, truly Leica while also very much Native Union. When choosing partners for collaborations it’s important, that the product philosophy is in line with the strategy of Leica. While elaborating the market for a partner of wireless charging products, we have recognized that Native Union is one of the most reliable brands in this segment. Both companies share the same vision when it comes to ensuring unique design with high quality. We knew we could trust Native Union to develop a technical solution that reflected Leica's style and spirit.” says Jesko von Oeynhausen, Global Director Product Division Photo.If you use an Android phone, and want a wired charging stand designed specifically for your device, this is the charging stand you should get. In terms of generic chargers, the fastest speed you'll get is the Qi standard of 7.5W. This isn't particularly speedy, but it'll work with any wirelessly chargeable smartphone, or other devices like wireless earbuds at slower speeds. Is 10W or 15W better for wireless charging? This will keep them discretely out of sight, and allows you to switch the cable out if you decide to go from iPhone to Android or vice-versa. You’ll also have to supply the power adapter, but you can use the one your phone is plugged into normally. This two-piece stand fits together easily, cradling your phone upward at a comfortable angle. At 7.1 inches tall and 5.1 inches wide, the wired charging stand has a pretty small footprint, and the finished bamboo frame will look really nice on a desk. Yet, it doesn’t take a photographer to recognize Leica’s unparalleled standard of engineering. It’s apparent to anyone who gets their hands on a Leica camera that the build, the materials, the feel and finish, they all exude a sense of long-lasting luxury and rich heritage that’s hard to come by.

Its silicone and aluminum body offers a high build quality, and it pairs nicely with the iPhone or iPad on top of it. This charging stand is shaped like a 7.1-inch long and 4.1-inch wide square, and its minimalist design will fit with any desk (it’s available in both Blue and Stone, if you’ve got a style preference.) We looked around and found the best wired charging stands that will work with all of your devices, regardless of whether they’re big or small, or run iOS or Android. Each one will work best in a different situation, but all of them are held to a high standard. What You Need to Know Before Buying a Wired Charging Stand On several occasions, the German-born brand has contributed to upheavals in photography. As a pioneer of the portable camera, they t ook photographers out of the four walls of the studio and popularized photojournalism and street photography as we know it today. Time and again , their cameras reshape the industry, reminding us why they’re the premier cameras coveted by professional and casual photographers alike. So we got to work on a made-for-Leica edition of Drop XL Wireless Charger. And with a common ground as large as the one we’ve found with Leica – for starters, a shared dedication to premium quality, refined materials, and minimalist design – it was almost second nature to adapt our fan-favorite piece with both brands in mind. As we more strongly commit to our new brand promise to ‘Design for Life,’ we’re excited that this collaboration gives us the chance to explore where we can extend our value beyond the realm of everyday devices, helping us navigate what ‘life’ can entail,” says Igor Duc, Co-founder and CEO of Native Union. “With mutual values in quality and durability and a shared philosophy of good design, this collaboration was a seamless fit.”Pros:This stand is compatible with iPhone and Android devices, and its bamboo frame looks really distinctive.
