You get the convenience of simply dropping your phone onto a pad, but you sacrifice speed. MagSafe made things better with magnetic alignment, but even at 15 W, it felt like a compromise compared to plugging in a cable. The new Qi2.2 standard changes that equation, and Anker's Prime Wireless Charging Station represents one of the most compelling implementations I've used. At $149.99, this isn't an impulse purchase.
