Nomad's latest wireless charger, the Stand, has entered the market, offering compatibility with the Qi2 standard and delivering a maximum wireless charging speed of 15W. Launched in late December, this accessory is now available for purchase on Nomad's official website in black or white, priced at $100. It's important to note that this cost doesn't include the required 20W power adapter; instead, users receive a USB-C to USB-C cable with the Stand.
Positioned as a Qi2-compatible charger, the Stand caters to devices like the iPhone 15, providing a comparable charging experience to Apple's MagSafe at a slightly lower cost. Priced $10 cheaper than Nomad's MagSafe equivalent, the Stand One, this accessory aligns with the growing trend of Qi2-compatible chargers hitting the market. Brands like Belkin, Anker, Satechi, and Mophie are also introducing their own Qi2-compatible devices, covering various charging needs from bedside to workspace and car applications.
As the Stand joins the market, it reflects the increasing adoption of the Qi2 standard, developed collaboratively with Apple for its latest iPhones. This standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices and enhances charging efficiency compared to previous Qi standards. With wireless charging technology advancing, consumers now have a wider selection of chargers supporting the latest standards, offering increased convenience and versatility.
While the Stand comes with a higher price tag, other alternatives provide more budget-friendly options. For instance, Belkin's BoostCharge Pro convertible stand, priced at $59.99, is set to release early next month, although users will need to provide their charging brick. Additionally, Satechi's 2-in-1 charging stand, expected to launch in the second quarter of 2024, includes a 45W power supply and is priced at $79.99, presenting a competitive choice for consumers.
Nomad's Stand not only expands options for users seeking reliable wireless charging but also reflects the broader trend of technological advancements in the wireless charging landscape. As the demand for efficient and compatible charging solutions continues to grow, the Stand becomes a noteworthy addition, contributing to the evolving landscape of wireless charging accessories.
