The Moto Snap Wireless Charger delivers 25W to Qi2.2 handsets and 30W to Motorola phones using the company’s proprietary protocol.
Motorola has introduced the Moto Snap Wireless Charger at IFA 2026, a magnetic pad priced from €39 that delivers 25W to Qi2.2 handsets and 30W to Motorola phones running the company’s own protocol. The unit holds phones in place magnetically, works through compatible cases, includes overheat and overcharge protection, and draws no standby power when idle.

Motorola has used IFA 2026 in Berlin to launch the Moto Snap Wireless Charger, a magnetic pad. The wireless charger goes for €39 (about $50) and will be available in selected markets across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia Pacific over the coming weeks.

The pad delivers up to 25W to handsets that support the Qi2.2 standard, rising to 30W on Motorola devices that use the company’s proprietary charging protocol. Magnets hold the phone in position on the charging surface, which removes the alignment guesswork that costs flat pads their speed, and Motorola states that compatible magnetic cases can stay on during a session. 

Magnetic alignment keeps the phone seated on the pad, and compatible magnetic cases can remain fitted during charging.

Overheat and overcharge protection are built into the unit, alongside a design Motorola says runs cooler in sustained use. Heat is the main constraint on wireless charging, since a warm handset throttles its own intake and slows the session. Standby draw falls to zero when no device is attached, and the charger ships with a 1.5m braided USB-C cable, which allows some distance between the pad and the nearest socket.

The accessory arrived alongside two larger launches in Berlin. The Edge 70 Plus is an upper mid-range handset built around a 200MP main camera, a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED panel, and a 6,500mAh battery, priced from €529. Motorola also showed the Moto Watch Ultra, which runs Wear OS 6 with LTE and health tracking developed with Polar.
