Phone Brands

The four brand pages collect what each maker publishes in one place, using the same fields for every phone so you can compare like with like. Every number comes from the maker’s own pages and is recorded, with its source, on the individual phone page.

How do the four brands compare in our library?

The brands differ most in how they describe charging: Samsung and Motorola publish wired wattage figures, while Apple and Google publish fast-charge claims. The table summarises the library.

These counts describe the 41 phones in our library, not every phone each maker sells. Prices are launch prices, not current prices, and a blank wattage means the maker publishes only a fast-charge claim or nothing we could verify, so we do not fill it in. See the wattage guide for the figures in one table.

Which brand page should I read?

Read the page for the maker of the phone you own or are weighing. Each page has a table of every model we cover with links to its phone page.

Why these four brands?

Our launch library focuses on the US market, and these are the four makers whose US lineup pages we used as the starting point. We add a phone only after we can source its specs from the maker, so some models on a maker’s page are not here yet: for example the Galaxy S25 Edge on Samsung’s page, the Pixel 10 line on Google’s, and the Razr Fold on Motorola’s.

What does a charger have to match?

A charger has to match the charging type your phone supports, and the brand pages show which type that is. Apple’s iPhones use USB-C or Lightning wired and MagSafe or Qi2 wireless, Samsung’s phones use Super Fast Charging with an approved 25W or 45W adapter, Google’s claims name a USB-C PPS charger, and Motorola’s list a TurboPower wattage. Our reference pages explain each: USB Power Delivery, PPS, Qi2 and MagSafe.

How do the four brands describe wireless charging?

Each brand uses different wording, which is why the labels in the table do not line up. Apple lists MagSafe on 16 of its 17 iPhones, at up to 25W on the newest models, and Qi2 on 15. Samsung lists Fast Wireless Charging on eight phones, at 15W to 25W where it gives a wattage, and describes it as compatible with WPC, the body behind Qi. Google lists Pixelsnap wireless charging that is Qi2.2-certified at up to 25W on its four Pixel 11 phones and Qi-certified charging on the Pixel 10a. Motorola lists 15W or 30W on most phones without naming a standard.

Because the Wireless Power Consortium says only Qi Certified products can display the Qi or Qi2 logo, the logo on the charger is the cleanest cross-brand check. Our Qi guide and Qi2 guide explain what the logos mean.

How current is this information?

Every brand page was last verified on October 5, 2026, against the maker’s own lineup and specification pages. Each phone page carries the field-by-field sources, and our editorial policy sets out how we handle conflicts between sources. If you spot something out of date, tell us through the contact page.

Do any of these phones include a charger?

No. None of the 41 phone pages records a power adapter in the box, so you will buy or reuse one whichever brand you choose. Read which charger is safe for my phone before you do.
