This means that if you're picking up a Pixel 7a you finally get to enter the hugely convenient world of wireless charging, and there are countless chargers to choose from. We've gathered a healthy selection of the very best for you, right here.
Our picks for the best Pixel 7a wireless chargers

Google Pixel Stand (2nd gen)

mophie 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Mat
Flexibility
$100 $150 Save $50For those who have a bunch of devices to charge alongside their Pixel 7a there's this overkill mat from mophie, which can charge four devices at once, more than almost any other option on the market.
In summary
Adding wireless charging to the Pixel 7a is a huge win for users, but with so many wireless chargers on the market we have to be pretty discerning about recommending any. Charging speed is a big criterion, although slow charging is fine for a nice design or if the price is right, and we're also always impressed by chargers that don't look ugly - a surprisingly high bar to clear.
If you've got the cash then we love Courant's multi-charger for its fabric finish, but we also think that Belkin's simple charging puck might be the best option for most people given its ace pricing and nice rubber accents. Stopping your Pixel 7a sliding around is actually a high priority, after all.
