REVIEWS LOGITECH POWERED PAD


The pad itself is slightly oversized, giving
you a large area on which to place your
phone or device. Color options include
black, white, sage, or lilac—all very tasteful.
The 10W Pad will charge Apple iPhones at
7.5W (Apple’s limitation), and Samsung
devices at 9W, according to Logitech.
Wireless earbuds, like AirPods or Galaxy
Buds, will charge at 5W. To be clear, it’ll
charge anything that’s Qi-compatible.
When testing how fast the Pad charged a
Galaxy S9 using our standard test, it took an
average of 167 minutes to go from empty to
full. That’s better than the average charge
time of 195 minutes of all of the wireless
chargers we’ve tested.
Charging an iPhone 11 over the course of
an hour from empty, the Pad averaged a

charge level of 34-percent. That’s slightly
below the average, but still respectable.
The Powered Pad will look good on a
desk, nightstand, or on a kitchen counter.
And at $40, it’s affordably priced for anyone
who’s looking for a reliable wireless
charging pad.

The Powered Pad provides ample charging surface, and comes in four color options: Graphite, White,
Blue Sage, and Lilac.
