Wireless charging sounds simple enough: put your phone down and let it charge.

But once you start looking at the options, a few questions usually come up.

How fast is it? Is it safe for my phone? What makes one wireless charger better suited to a desk than another? And what should I actually be looking for?

They’re questions we hear from our clients quite often, particularly as wireless charging becomes more common in offices, boardrooms, hotels, home offices and shared workspaces.

So, we thought we’d answer a few of them.
‍
‍

1. What is the best wireless charger for a desk?

It really comes down to how you use your workspace.

If you simply need somewhere to charge your phone at home, a portable charging pad might be perfectly adequate.

But in a well-designed office, boardroom or shared workspace, there’s another question worth asking:
‍

How does the charger fit into the space?

A loose charging pad might do the job, but it also means another device, another cable and often another adapter sitting on the desk.

An integrated wireless charger takes a different approach. Instead of adding something to the workspace, the charger becomes part of it.

You simply place your phone down and let it charge while you get on with your day.

The PUNTO Air Wireless Charger was designed with exactly this in mind. Its ultra-slim profile integrates neatly into the worksurface, with only 9.4 mm sitting above the desk surface.

The power supply is also built into the unit, which means there’s no separate USB charger taking up space on the desk.

For us, a good desk charger comes down to three things:
‍

Convenience. Compatibility. Integration.

It should make the workspace easier to use without making it feel more cluttered.

‍

2. Is 15W wireless charging fast?

Yes — for many compatible smartphones, 15W provides fast wireless charging.

There is one thing worth knowing, though: the charger doesn’t determine the charging speed on its own.

Different smartphones support different wireless charging rates. So, even if your charger can deliver up to 15W, your phone may charge at 10W, 7.5W or 5W depending on what the device supports.
‍

The PUNTO Air supports:

• 5W
• 7.5W
• 10W
• Up to 15W

In a workspace, though, we don’t think charging speed tells the whole story.

Your phone is often sitting next to you for hours at a time anyway. Instead of waiting until the battery is nearly flat and then hunting for a cable, you can simply put your phone down on the charger whenever you’re not using it.

It quietly tops up in the background while you carry on working.

And really, that’s where wireless charging earns its place on a desk — it’s convenient without asking you to think about it.

‍

3. Is wireless charging safe for your phone?

Yes. When you’re using a properly designed charger with a compatible smartphone, wireless charging is a safe and established way to charge your device.

You may notice your phone becomes slightly warm while it’s charging. That’s normal. Some heat is naturally generated as energy is transferred wirelessly between the charger and your phone.

What matters is how the charger manages that process.
‍

The PUNTO Air Wireless Charger includes:

• Overcurrent protection
• Overtemperature protection
• Intelligent Foreign Object Detection

Foreign Object Detection helps identify when something that shouldn’t be there — such as a metal object — is sitting within the charging area. The built-in temperature and current protection features help manage the charging process too.

As a general rule, keep the charging surface clear and avoid placing things like keys or coins between your phone and the charger.

‍

4. So, what should you look for in a wireless charger?

Charging speed matters. So does compatibility.

But for us, there’s one more thing that’s just as important:

How well does the technology fit into the space around it?

A wireless charger shouldn’t feel like another gadget fighting for room on your desk.

In a thoughtfully designed workspace, the best technology often goes almost unnoticed. It’s simply there when you need it and does what it’s supposed to do.

That’s the thinking behind the PUNTO Air Wireless Charger.

It combines wireless charging at up to 15W with a slim, integrated design created specifically for modern workspaces.

No searching for the right cable.

No loose charging pad taking up valuable desk space.

No unnecessary clutter.

Just put your phone down and carry on with your day.
