KUXIU D5 Charges 3 Devices Without Taking Over Your Desk

Posted on by

There are a lot of people who have more than two devices that constantly need charging throughout the day. Our workspaces are littered with different charging cables, power adapters, and all kinds of charging paraphernalia, aside from our usual work stuff. The advent of wireless chargers has been a welcome development for those whose devices support them and who don’t want their desks littered with all sorts of things. Having something that can charge more than your phone and looks good while doing it is also a bonus.

The KUXIU D5 Qi2.2 25W 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is one of those devices that I’d welcome to my desk, and it now comes in burgundy as well. It’s a functional device for charging your compatible smartphone, Apple Watch, and earbuds, but it’s also well-designed enough that you won’t want to hide it when you’re not charging anything. It also has a real-time display of charging information, so you won’t have to guess whether your devices are receiving power.

Brand: KUXIU

One of the nice things about this wireless charger, aside from the fact that you can charge three devices at once, is that you’ll be able to see things like input voltage, current, and power on the display. It also shows the individual charging status of your smartphone, Apple Watch, and earbuds if you’re charging them all at the same time. You can even turn that same display into a desk clock if you want to check the time somewhere other than your phone or laptop screen. You just have to connect the charger to your phone via Bluetooth to sync the time. The display even has animated expressions to keep you company as you work.

The phone platform where you place your device as it charges can sit flat or tilt upward, depending on how you want to use it. It also means it can serve as a viewing stand in case you still need to look at your phone while it’s charging. The watch charging module, meanwhile, extends from the side and can also be retracted when not in use. Just press and hold the touch button to activate the motorized mechanism, so the dock won’t be a permanent protrusion when it isn’t needed.

The wireless charging station also has an active cooling fan, which KUXIU says is designed to reduce charging temperatures and help prevent heat-related slowdowns. You can also turn the fan off manually, which gives you a choice about running it on your desk or nightstand. That doesn’t mean it can guarantee that your devices will never overheat. Apple notes that an iPhone’s software may limit charging above 80% if the battery gets too warm.

On the charging side, KUXIU lists up to 25W for compatible phones, with separate 5W outputs for the Apple Watch and earbuds. The important phrase here is “up to”: your phone needs to support that charging rate, so older devices won’t automatically get the full 25W. The watch module is specifically for Apple Watch, rather than a universal smartwatch charger. Your earbuds will also need a wireless-charging case, so it’s worth checking your everyday devices before buying.

The burgundy color is a nice change from the usual black or white charging accessories, and the gold-toned side accent gives the little station some contrast. Its body measures about 2.91 by 2.95 by 4.25 inches, making its base roughly three inches square. KUXIU also includes a 45W power adapter and a one-meter charging cable, so you won’t have to go looking for a suitable adapter before you can put it to work.

For me, the appeal is having a place for those three devices without having three separate chargers taking over the desk. I’d still want to keep the display useful rather than distracting, but being able to see what’s charging and tuck the watch dock away makes this a more thoughtful desktop companion.

DIY AirPower desk charges your phone anywhere on its glass top, also reminds you to drink water

Posted on by

How long have you pursued an unannounced gadget; waiting passionately to see it come to life? If I speak for myself, it would be flying cars that I still wait for with childlike enthusiasm. For He Shijie, better known as He Tongxue of the YouTube channel HTX Studio, it was an AirPower, a wireless charging pad that Apple announced it had in development in 2017, almost a decade ago.

The best part of the AirPower would have been its unique charging ability. Unlike Qi wireless chargers (that required the phone to be placed in the center to charge), the AirPower would charge an iPhone no matter where it was placed on the charging pad. Patiently waiting for nine years, only to learn that Apple had discontinued the idea of the wireless charger way back in 2019, the creator got down to building his own AirPower in the size of a work desk that Apple would dare try.

Designer: HTX Studio

The desk-sized version of Apple’s now-cancelled AirPower charger is a versatile DIY creation that features a moving coil inside to charge your phone no matter where you place it on the table. The table is called the AirDesk and uses an overhead camera to locate where your device is on the desk and repositions a single moving charging coil right beneath it to charge automatically.

The entire show of the coil moving is pretty interesting. When you place a device on the table, it automatically identifies where the device is and starts to align the charging coil in that direction. An animated cat appears above the charging mechanism and it follows the coil as it moves directly underneath the phone. AirDesk can charge multiple devices also. Charging coils are placed in the corners of the table to charge additional gadgets. The creator informs that the keyboard can also be charged wirelessly when needed.

The table itself features a Mac Mini underneath the glass top. It can be connected to a monitor on top and used as a hidden workstation that your friends would envy, provided He is willing to trade it off for a fortune. Simply because what the studio has pulled off with the Air Desk is really cumbersome to replicate, and clearly there is no way of getting this one, I believe. You can try your luck ask though.

The unique desk with a transparent LCD screen is not only created to power devices. It took the creators over two months to finalize the ultimate desk, which is engineered to play animations, show tasks, and remind you to stay active when you’ve been in front of the desk for too long. The desk sits on motorized legs to transform into a standing desk when you need to change your posture. A nifty characteristic of the table is a built-in mechanism that, like the motorized coil, also pushes a cup towards the user every hour to remind him to drink water…Cool?

Charging Pads Save Your Phone, BIONIC’s Also Clears Your Counter

Posted on by

Every home eventually collects the same small pile near the door or nightstand, a phone, a set of AirPods, keys, maybe a pair of glasses set down without much thought. The BIONIC Valet Charger treats that daily pile as a design problem worth solving. It combines a wireless charging surface with an integrated tray, giving all of those scattered objects one considered surface to land on instead of several.

The body is precision machined from a single block of anodized aluminum, a process BIONIC uses across its entire catalog rather than reserving for one flagship piece. That machining produces a slim bar with no visible seams or fasteners, finished in either silver or black. Small production runs keep tolerances tight, letting the studio catch finishing flaws before a unit ever reaches a customer’s desk or entryway table.

Designer: BIONIC

Nothing about the shape asks for attention. At 10.43 by 2.64 by 0.79 inches and just 10.6 ounces, the Valet Charger reads as a thin, low bar rather than a bulky charging dock, the kind of object that disappears into a bedside table instead of dominating it. That restraint runs through the whole BIONIC catalog, where the guiding rule stays simple: nothing gets added without a reason behind it.

A dedicated wireless charging zone sits along the surface, ready for a phone or a set of AirPods without needing either one centered just right. Power runs through a single USB-C cable built into the base, so there’s no separate brick or cord tangling behind furniture. Set a phone down on the way out the door, and it’s topped up again before anyone reaches for it.

Beside that charging zone runs a shallow tray built into the same aluminum body, meant for the smaller things a phone charger usually ignores. Sunglasses, a house key, a wedding ring pulled off before bed, all of it lands in the same narrow channel instead of drifting across a counter. Emptying pockets at the end of a day becomes one motion, not several separate decisions about where things go.

A full-grain leather pad sits inset into the tray, available in black, gray, or brown, warming up what would otherwise be an all-metal surface. Cow leather like this tends to darken and soften with handling rather than wear out, picking up a patina that a synthetic pad never quite manages. Paired with the cool aluminum shell, it gives the object two textures instead of one flat surface throughout.

The Valet Charger isn’t a standalone experiment either. Priced at €240 (about $260), it sits inside a wider BIONIC catalog built on the same small-batch approach, where aluminum, leather, and glass get chosen for how they age, not how they photograph on day one. It’s designed to pair with the brand’s existing Valet Tray, letting a desk or entryway grow its own system of matching pieces over time.

A Corning Gorilla Glass panel caps the charging zone, adding a hard, scratch-resistant surface right where a phone gets set down and picked up dozens of times a day. Months in, the aluminum keeps its finish, the leather deepens in color, and the small pile by the door quietly stops being a pile. It becomes the one spot where a phone, keys, and glasses already belong.

Motorola Just Built the Android Phone Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Almost Was

Posted on by

Wireless charging on Android has been a bit of a mess. Most phones support it, but the speeds tend to lag behind proprietary fast-charging standards, and the Qi2 situation has been particularly awkward. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series supports Qi2 speeds but skips the built-in magnets, meaning you still need a special case to get the alignment right. Other Android phones that did include magnets weren’t hitting the full 25W Qi2 ceiling. It was always one or the other.

The Motorola Edge 70 Max closes that gap. It’s the first mainstream Android phone outside of Google’s Pixel line to offer true Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets and the full 25W MPP25 speed, no magnetic case required, no extra ring to stick on the back. Drop it on a Qi2 pad, and it snaps into position and charges at the maximum rate the standard allows. That’s a more meaningful distinction than it might sound.

Designer: Motorola

For anyone who keeps a charging pad on a nightstand or desk, alignment has always been the friction point of wireless charging. Miss the coil slightly, and speeds drop, or charging stops entirely without any notification. Built-in magnets solve that by locking the phone into position automatically, the same way MagSafe works on an iPhone. Android users have had to use workarounds for years to get the same result, and most still don’t bother.

Beyond the charging story, the Edge 70 Max arrives with serious hardware throughout. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip delivers a 36% CPU improvement and 11% GPU improvement over its predecessor, and a vapor chamber cooling system with liquid metal and a 5,500 mm² chamber keeps temperatures in check during sustained loads. Up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 1 TB of storage round out the platform.

The 7100 mAh silicon-carbon battery earned a DXOMARK Gold Label with 160 points, and 90W TurboPower wired charging adds enough for a full day in just six minutes. The 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 main camera handles photography with AI-assisted processing, and the phone debuts Motorola Qira, a unified AI system shared across Lenovo PCs and tablets that carries context between devices.

The Quad HD+ (2K) display is rated as the brightest in its category, and the build is aircraft-grade aluminum framed with matte premium glass and MIL-STD-810H certification. Motorola has also made clear that the packaging is fully recyclable and printed with soy-based inks, a detail that reflects the broader Lenovo sustainability push rather than just a spec-sheet line.

The Android wireless charging ecosystem has needed a phone willing to commit fully to Qi2 rather than taking the halfway approach that most manufacturers have favored. The Edge 70 Max is the first non-Pixel Android flagship to do it without compromise, and with the rest of the hardware backing it up, the charging system stops being a headline curiosity and becomes a genuinely practical reason to pick one platform over another.

Satechi’s $130 Foldable 3-in-1 Charger Now Hits 25W for iPhones

Posted on by

Wireless charging was supposed to simplify things. Instead, most Apple users end up with a tangle of pads and cables on the nightstand, one for the iPhone, another for the Apple Watch, and a separate spot for the AirPods. The technology meant to reduce friction has become its own kind of mess, especially for anyone who’s ever scrambled for a Watch charger before a morning flight.

Satechi’s 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand with Qi2 25W takes aim at that problem. The San Diego brand has updated its best-selling foldable charger with a meaningful upgrade, bumping wireless power delivery for compatible iPhones to 25W, a notable jump from the 15W ceiling most MagSafe-compatible pads have been stuck at. It’s built as a proper desktop stand, not just something you tolerate next to the lamp.

Designer: Satechi

Set the phone down on the magnetic charging surface, and Qi2’s built-in alignment snaps it into position so you don’t lose power from an off-center placement. The Apple Watch sits at a comfortable angle on its dedicated fast-charge module, while the AirPods rest on their own pad below. All three charge simultaneously from a single cable going to the wall, with nothing to juggle.

Apple Watch fast charging requires MFi certification, and Satechi has that covered. The stand supports Series 7 and newer, including Ultra and SE models. Advanced safety protections manage heat and prevent power loss when all three pads are active at once. The magnetic surface on the phone pad also ensures it stays correctly positioned even if you accidentally nudge it during the night.

Then there’s the folding design, which is where the stand earns its keep as a travel companion. It collapses into a flat form that fits easily in a carry-on without much bulk, then unfolds into the same stable stand you’re used to at home. There’s no need to rethink your charging setup just because you’ve checked into a different room across town or across the world.

Satechi also includes a 45W USB-C power adapter in the box, which sounds like a minor detail until you’re unpacking in a foreign hotel room. The adapter ships with US, EU, and UK plug attachments, meaning it works across different countries without needing a separate travel adapter. That’s a small but thoughtful decision for anyone whose travels take them to multiple regions throughout the year.

Available now on Satechi.com and Amazon, the stand retails for $129.99 in Space Black. It’s a higher investment than a single-device pad, but consolidating three separate chargers into one that travels as well as it sits on a desk makes that gap easier to justify. For Apple ecosystem users tired of the cable pile next to the bed, this stand offers a much cleaner end to every day.

This $100 Stand Fixes Why Wireless Charging Gets Hot and Useless

Posted on by

Most wireless charging setups involve a flat pad on the nightstand, a couple of extra cables for watch and earbuds, and a phone that gets warm and slides out of alignment if you nudge it. Most 3-in-1 MagSafe docks solve the cable mess but still feel like static sculptures, not stands you actually use while you work or watch something, and they rarely address the heat that builds up when pushing 15W or more through magnetic coils.

LISEN’s MagSafe Charger Stand puts everything on a vertical stem with a chunky barrel at the top. Inside that barrel is a Qi2.2-certified 25 W magnetic charger and a cooling fan, with Apple Watch charging on top and AirPods on the base. It looks unconventional compared to the usual flat arches, but that shape does more than just stand out in listings.

Designer: LISEN

The Qi2.2 spec lets the stand push up to 25W to an iPhone 17 Pro, roughly six times faster than old 5W pads, which usually means heat and throttling. Here, a built-in fan and temperature-control chip keep things under control in Cool Mode, so you can stream, video call, or scroll while charging without the phone turning into a hand warmer or dropping to slower speeds halfway through.

The day and night modes matter more than expected. During the day, Cool Mode keeps the fan running quietly while your phone jumps from low battery to usable in a short break. At night, you tap the touch-sensitive button on the base to switch to Sleep Mode, turning the fan off so the stand becomes a silent overnight charger. Charging continues safely, just slightly slower, but the room stays quiet enough to actually sleep.

The rotating barrel and adjustable angle turn the stand into a proper phone holder. You can flip between portrait and landscape for video calls, recipes, or watching something with someone on the sofa, all while the phone stays magnetically locked and charging. The phone is visible and usable instead of lying flat and forgotten on a pad somewhere under a stack of papers.

Of course, the base charges AirPods and the side puck handles Apple Watch, so one cable and the included 45W adapter replace three separate chargers fighting for outlets. The weighted chrome-plated base and matte finish keep the stand from tipping or looking cheap, and the whole thing reads more like a small piece of desk hardware than a pile of plastic and tangled cables.

LISEN’s stand looks a bit strange compared to usual flat pads and minimalist arches, but the cylinder, fan, and rotation all serve a purpose. It is built for people who actually use their phone while it charges, want Qi2-level speed without cooking their battery, and would rather have one odd little totem on the desk than three separate chargers that look boring and get warm anyway.

Remember Apple’s AirPower Mat? Dreame Built A MagSafe Power Bank That Does The Same Thing

Posted on by

Dreame built its name on robot vacuums and smart cleaning stations, but its newest release does not clean your floors at all. Dreame’s Air Power 17 arrives as a magnetic portable power bank with a surprisingly polished feel, pairing an aluminum frame with AG glass and a footprint barely larger than a bank card. It clicks into place on an iPhone 17 or any Qi2 compatible phone, then quietly delivers up to 15 watts wirelessly or 20 watts over USB-C. But that’s not what’s so surprising about the power bank (apart from the fact that the parent company also manufactures robot vacuums)… it’s that the AirPower 17 also charges your TWS earbuds AS WELL AS your Apple Watch, right through the same wireless charging surface.

The name is a clever dig at Apple’s own AirPower disaster from 2017, when the company announced a charging mat that could handle 3 devices at once. Now, it seems like Dreame’s taken the mantle of making that happen, that too in a compact form factor that still feels decidedly premium, thanks to the slim design, the aluminum alloy frame, and AG glass back. Now, the obvious question is why a vacuum company thinks it can waltz into a market already flooded with Anker, Baseus, and a hundred Shenzhen generics. Here’s the thing: Dreame has been on an absolute tear since July, dropping or teasing products in personal care, large appliances, consumer electronics, and even automotive adjacent gear. This power bank feels like part of a coordinated land grab, and the clever multipurpose design genuinely feels like a consumer-focused product aimed at winning hearts, not just adding small numbers to a company’s profits.

Designer: Dreame

The Air Power 17’s design is fairly simple and straightforward, packing one USB C port, Qi2 wireless at 15 watts max, and that integrated kickstand. The 5,000 milliamp hour version comes in at just 8 millimeters thick and 125 grams, which is borderline remarkable when you consider it includes a stand mechanism and a full magnetic ring. The 10,000 milliamp hour Pro is predictably chunkier at 12.8 millimeters and 189 grams, but still compact enough that you could daily carry it without hating your life. Both share the exact same 103 by 58.4 millimeter footprint, so your choice really comes down to whether you value slimness or capacity more.

The winning feature, however, is the power bank’s ability to charge both smartphones as well as an Apple Watch from the same charging surface. Snap the Air Power 17 to the back of your phone, or just place it on a surface and rest your Apple Watch on the watch symbol and you’re good to go. Right below the Watch symbol is also a TWS earbud case symbol, which means you can even charge your AirPods or other earbuds on the power bank. I’ve yet to see a single power bank this slim so elegantly cover all bases. The fact that a robot vacuum company pushed this first seems odd but hey, the consumer in me is happy he doesn’t need dongles, cables, and other paraphernalia to keep his devices charged.

The built in stand is the sneaky detail that turns the power bank into a proper desk accessory, the kind of thing you slap your phone onto during a video call or while following a recipe. Most magnetic power banks treat the stand as an afterthought, a flimsy plastic hinge that wobbles under the weight of a phone. Dreame integrated it into the rear housing with their branding stamped right on it, so it doubles as brand presence and functional hardware. Wireless efficiency is rated above 60 percent, which tracks with Qi2 standards but also means you lose about 40 percent of capacity to heat and conversion losses when charging wirelessly. If you want the full 10,000 milliamp hours, you need to cable up.

The catch is availability. Right now this lives exclusively in China, sold on platforms like JD.com with zero confirmed timeline for a global rollout. Dreame already sells robot vacuums in the US and Europe, so the infrastructure exists, but consumer electronics accessories face different certification hoops than home appliances. At 219 yuan for the 5,000 milliamp hour model and 259 yuan for the 10,000 milliamp hour Pro, Dreame is pricing aggressively enough to make established brands nervous while keeping enough margin to signal this is a real product line. Here’s to hoping for a global rollout soon – maybe this is the AirPower Mat we truly deserve!

This 9mm Wireless Charger Just Made Power Banks Obsolete

Posted on by

You know that moment when your phone hits 10% and you’re nowhere near an outlet? We’ve all been there, frantically searching for a charging cable while our phone gasps its last breath. Power banks were supposed to solve this problem, but let’s be honest, carrying around a chunky brick in your bag never felt like the solution we actually wanted.

Enter ALMA, the wireless charger from Addition that’s basically saying “sorry, traditional power banks, your time is up.” This isn’t just another tech accessory trying to make its way into your everyday carry. It’s a genuinely thoughtful rethink of what portable power should look and feel like in 2025.

Designer: Addition

Here’s what makes ALMA different. First, it’s shaped like a slim oval that measures just 9mm thick. That means it actually slips into your jacket pocket or clutch without creating an awkward bulge. Compare that to the standard rectangular power bank that feels like you’re lugging around a paperweight, and you start to see why this matters.

But the real magic is in how it works. ALMA charges wirelessly and gets charged wirelessly too. Think about that for a second. No more hunting for the right cable, no more tangled cords at the bottom of your bag. You just place ALMA on the back of your phone when you need juice, and when ALMA needs recharging, you drop it on any Qi-compatible charging pad. The whole experience is designed around eliminating friction, which is exactly what good design should do.

The aluminum body gives it a quality feel that separates it from the usual plastic gadgets cluttering our lives. Addition offers 17 different designs across three finishes (black, champagne, rose gold, and silver), so you can pick something that actually matches your aesthetic rather than settling for boring black box number 47. What’s really clever is the packaging. The keepsake box ALMA comes in isn’t just pretty, it doubles as a charging pad. So you’re not buying another single-purpose accessory that ends up in a drawer. The box earns its keep on your nightstand or desk as a functional part of the ecosystem.

Robert Louey, Addition’s chief design officer, said they wanted everyday tech to feel like seven-star hospitality. That might sound a bit dramatic, but when you consider how much of our interaction with technology feels clunky and frustrating, aiming for that level of seamlessness makes sense. The oval shape isn’t just for looks. It’s designed to rest naturally in your palm, creating that satisfying tactile experience that Apple perfected with their products.

Under that sleek exterior, ALMA packs some serious innovation. It uses a custom round lithium-ion battery (the first of its kind for this application) and custom internal components to achieve that impossibly thin profile. LED indicators show you the charge status at a glance: one light means 1% to 33%, two lights mean 34% to 66%, and so on up to four lights at 96% to 100%. Simple, intuitive, no guesswork.

ALMA works with any Qi-enabled device, so whether you’re team iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, or even rocking wireless AirPods, you’re covered. That universality matters in a world where we’re constantly switching devices or sharing chargers with friends who have different phones. At $85 for one or $170 for a set of two, ALMA isn’t exactly impulse-purchase territory. But here’s the thing: when you factor in what you’re actually getting, a beautifully designed object that solves a daily annoyance, eliminates cable clutter, and happens to be customizable, the price starts making more sense. This is clearly positioning itself as the luxury option in a sea of generic alternatives.

Addition is a female-founded company launched by Laura Schwab, who has decades of experience with luxury brands like Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin Lagonda. That pedigree shows in the attention to detail and the understanding that design isn’t just about how something looks, it’s about how it makes you feel when you use it.

A lot of tech accessories now are afterthoughts, designed purely for function with zero consideration for aesthetics. But ALMA represents something refreshing. It’s technology that doesn’t apologize for wanting to be beautiful. It’s portable power that doesn’t make you feel like you’re carrying around emergency equipment. It’s the wireless charger that finally delivers on the promise of being truly wireless.

$28 Power Bank Has 55W Wired, 15W Wireless, and a Display

Posted on by

Most power banks are either too bulky for a pocket or too slow to keep up with today’s fast-charging phones that demand high wattage for quick top-ups. If you’re tired of carrying bricks that weigh down your bag or waiting ages for a recharge during short coffee breaks, finding a power bank that’s both genuinely slim and powerful enough for modern devices can feel impossible in the current market.

The Cuktech 10 Air offers a fresh take on portable charging for everyday carry without compromise. With a 10,000mAh capacity, 55W wired fast charging, 15W magnetic wireless charging, and a built-in display, it’s designed to slip into your pocket and keep your phone powered up quickly. At just 1.3 centimeters thick and CNY 199 (about $28), it packs premium features into an affordable package.

Designer: Cuktech (via NotebookCheck)

At just 1.3 centimeters thick, the 10 Air is as slim as many modern smartphones, making it easy to stack with your device magnetically or slide into a bag without creating annoying bulk or weight. The magnetic pad attaches securely to MagSafe-compatible phones for cable-free charging on the go, while the smooth, rounded shell comes in silver or gold for a modern, minimalist look that complements any device.

The built-in TFT display is a standout feature that sets the 10 Air apart from generic power banks cluttering the market. It shows real-time battery percentage, charging status, and power mode, so you’re never guessing about your next top-up or wondering if your device is actually charging properly. The transparency is refreshing compared to blind LED indicators that most competing power banks use without context.

Inside, the 10 Air uses two 5,000mAh cells for a total of 10,000mAh, rated at 5,800mAh and 38.5Wh due to voltage conversion losses. Wired charging delivers up to 55W through the USB-C port, enough to get a Xiaomi 17 Pro to 67 percent in just 30 minutes, or an iPhone 17 to nearly 70 percent in the same timeframe without overheating.

Wireless charging offers 15W for MagSafe devices, perfect for quick top-ups without fumbling for cables when your hands are full or you’re on the move. The self-storing USB-C cable measuring 13cm adds convenience by keeping everything together in one package, while support for PPS, PD, and other protocols ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices from different manufacturers worldwide.

Cuktech’s OPC 2.0 worry-free charging system manages temperature intelligently, automatically stops charging when full, and protects battery health over time through smart algorithms and hardware monitoring. Hardware-level safeguards prevent overcharging, overheating, and short circuits, so you can leave your phone charging overnight without worry or anxiety. The power bank is airline-compliant at 38.5Wh, making it ideal for frequent travelers who cross borders regularly.

Whether you’re commuting, traveling internationally, or just need a slim backup for your phone during long days away from outlets, the Cuktech 10 Air fits naturally into modern life. The combination of genuine slimness, fast dual charging modes, magnetic attachment, and real-time display transparency makes it a compelling choice for anyone tired of bulky, outdated chargers.

Multi-level wireless charger can charge four phones at the same time

Posted on by

It’s not unusual for one person to own a phone and related accessories like wireless earbuds and a smartwatch. Heck, some even own more than one smartphone, one for personal use and the other for work. Whether you live alone or with others, there will always be times when you wish you could use the convenient wireless charger that’s already being occupied by your own phone or a roommate’s. Of course, declaring war over such a trivial matter is overkill and impractical, especially if you have this rather unusual wireless charging pad that can hold four phones, or any four devices, simultaneously.

Designer: Zens

There are definitely plenty of multi-device wireless chargers these days, but most of them support charging only one of each kind of device. You can charge a phone, a smartwatch, and a wireless earbuds case all at the same time, but charging two phones is often out of the question. These products are designed for the majority of use cases, but that doesn’t mean corner cases have to be ignored.

The Quattro Charger Pro 4 takes the idea of a wireless charging bed and doubles its capacity without double the space it occupies on a desk or shelf. Its rather simple solution is to have two wireless charging pads on top of each other, each supporting two devices. That’s a total of four wireless charging areas for almost any combination of devices you need, all charging at the same time.

The charger supports the Qi2 standard, which means it actually supports a variety of wireless charging technologies, both those with magnets like MagSafe, and those without. It comes with a 65W charger, which is the maximum power it can take it, but it only dishes out 15W max from each charging spot. That’s not exactly the fastest rate around, but it’s still the top wireless charging speed for iPhones anyway.

The good thing is that the 15W is constant, regardless of how many iPhones are charging at the same time, so you can have four placed simultaneously. The Zens Quattro Charger Pro 4 also supports charging AirPods cases, but sadly not the Apple Watch. Another disadvantage is that the flat orientation of the charging beds means that StandBy mode won’t kick in, but it will at least keep your three other family members or roommates happy by not fighting over wireless chargers.
