Hands on with UGREEN MagFlow 3-in-1 charging stand, now 29% off

UGREEN is offering a big 29% discount on its new MagFlow 3-in-1 charging stand for Apple products. Here is a quick look.

The UGREEN MagFlow 3-in-1 charging station

UGREEN recently announced a new lineup of MagFlow accessories for modern iPhones, and one of them, the 3-in-1 charging stand, got into my hands for quick testing. If you are part of the Apple ecosystem, you might find this stand interesting, especially with a 29% discount on Amazon for Prime Members.

This charging stand offers a single device to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. It is made of a high-quality plastic with some serious heft. While the stand is pretty heavy, removing the iPhone from the charging puck is still a two-hand job, but I am not complaining. The magnets and the hinge are very strong, and they firmly secure your device in place. Also, the stand has rubber feet, which prevent sliding on your desk.

The iPhone charger is Qi2-certified, and it delivers up to 25W of charging to compatible models. I have an iPhone 15 Pro, so my charging speed is capped at only 15W. Still, it charges quite fast, and the ability to adjust the angle makes it a great nightstand thanks to the Standby mode in iOS. The Qi2 charger works in any position, even if fully retracted. Once you place anything on the charger, a blue LED in front lights up to let you know that the stand is charging your iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods.

The AirPods charger has a rubberized material to keep your AirPods scratch-free, and it works with all AirPods that support wireless charging. The AirPods Pro 3 case is slightly bigger, and it is not the perfect fit, but the charger still gets the job done.

As for the Apple Watch, the charging puck is retractable, so you can keep it away when not in use. While the placement is a bit awkward to me (why behind and not on the side?), I like that I can pull it away far enough to charge not just my Apple Watch Series 10 but even my AirPods Pro 3.

The UGREEN MagFlow 3-in-1 comes with a bundled 45W GaN charger and a USB-C cable, which is nice. While the charger has only one Type-C port, the stand itself has an extra port that you can use for another device to charge. Voltage pulsations are very low (10-30mV), for which UGREEN deserves extra praise, since lower pulsations are better for battery life. Just do not expect very fast charging—the extra port is capped at only 10W max, even if you connect the stand to a more powerful charger. In total, the charging stand can output 35W max. 25W goes to the iPhone, 5W to AirPods, 5W to Apple Watch, and 10W for the second USB-C port.

The UGREEN MagFlow 3-in-1 charger is a well-made stand with good materials, quality accessories, and powerful charging. My only gripe is the awkward Apple Watch charger placement, but overall, it is a good accessory, especially with a 29% discount.
