Wireless chargers are often very simple. On the one hand, it seems to be logical – who cares what design the charging has. On the other hand, the charging station is always in sight, and using cute things is always more pleasant than nondescript gizmos.
Today I will talk about the Moshi Lounge Q wireless charger. This is the manufacturer’s flagship wireless charger. In addition to its expressive design, it supports charging up to 15W and allows you to adjust the stand’s height. I previously shared my review of the Moshi Porto Q 5K Wireless Battery.

Moshi Lounge Q: Appearance and Design
Moshi Lounge Q charging station is slightly heavy and solid. It weighs almost 300 grams. It has a silver-colored aluminum base underneath a wide rubber backing that prevents slipping on the surface. The charger’s inside is covered with gray fabric, and a wide rubberized rim runs along the edges. Everything seems to be simple, but it looks neat and laconic in a Scandinavian way. Simultaneously, it is practical: the phone will not slip off the stand, and the edges of the case will not be scratched.
Moshi Lounge Q features height adjustment as well. The stainless steel post contains a cloth-covered plate and is complemented by an anti-slip silicone ring. In the photo below, you can see the adjustment range; it is enough for any device.
Wireless charging is built into this plate. Thus, by changing the height, you can find a comfortable position for the phone, regardless of its size. Considering that wireless chargers can be demanding on the smartphone’s precise positioning, this is a good idea. Moreover, the phone can stand both vertically and horizontally.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy Fold cannot be charged on every stand of this type. On flat sites – please, but if you want to use something more interesting, problems begin. This is where Moshi Lounge Q comes to the rescue.
Considering the remote form of work, the stand simplifies life: you can participate in video conferences or entertain yourself with YouTube videos during lunch breaks – you don’t have to look for additional support for the phone while also being charged.
Note that the tilt angle of the stand does not change, only the height. How critical this is is a personal question. The “default settings” were enough for me.
Moshi Lounge Q: Charging Speed and Power
Charging station with a non-removable 1.2-meter cable that ends with USB Type-C. No power supply included. Therefore, if you decide to buy such a charger as a gift, check if the donee has a suitable power supply unit in the household.
Wireless charging delivers 15W, with Apple devices capped at 7.5W. The same goes for the new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, which has 15W wireless charging, but this requires MagSafe certified charging.
In terms of charging speed, wireless solutions are still far behind wired solutions. For example, the iPhone 12 takes almost 4 hours to charge fully. Against the background of 1.5 hours when using wired charging, the difference is noticeable.
Of course, the Moshi Lounge Q station can be used with Apple appliances and other devices that support Qi charging. You can track the operation of wireless charging by the indicator light located on the side. While charging, it blinks white. The indicator is not bright and does not irritate in the dark.
The charger supports the Q-coil function. According to the manufacturer, it “allows Lounge Q to transmit energy through covers up to 5 mm thick.” I tested on iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and Galaxy S21 Ultra with cases. All devices were charged in the same way as without the protective accessory, so the claimed feature works fine.
Moshi Lounge Q: Price
Charging Moshi Lounge Q costs $69.96 on Amazon.
