Let's face it: Many of us use shopping events like Prime Big Deal Days as an opportunity to pick up gadgets that are cool rather than necessary. However, that doesn't mean you should overlook practical deals while pricing out that dreamy 77-inch OLED. After all, chargers designed to keep your gadgets going while traveling - or reliably juice them at their fastest speed at home - make for handy everyday accessories.

Magnetic wireless charging has been around for years thanks to Apple's nifty MagSafe tech; however, it's also now available on some Android phones, including the Pixel 10 lineup, which supports the newer Qi2 standard. That means many of the discounted charging accessories listed below - including standouts from Anker, Ugreen, Belkin, and Baseus - will be compatible with Google's latest handsets, as well as newer iPhone models. If you need a new wall wart or multi-device charging station, you'll find what you're looking for below.
