Best Prices Today: Ugreen Qi2 15W 2-in-1 MagFlow MagSafe Charger Stand
The MagFlow Qi2 2-in-1 Charger is MagSafe and Qi2 certified and so enables wireless charging of an iPhone at a power output of up to 15 watts.
It is compatible with all MagSafe iPhones (models 12 to 16) as well as AirPods 2/3/4, and enables simultaneous charging of iPhone and AirPods.
We tested this with an iPhone 15 and measured an impressive 37% of additional charge after just 30 minutes.
Thanks to its foldable design, the charging station is not only particularly compact to transport—the angle of the Qi2 charging pad can also be flexibly adjusted, up to 70 degrees. This allows the iPhone to be used either vertically or horizontally, which is ideal for watching videos, reading emails or for FaceTime calls with friends.
When folded, the MagFlow Qi2 charging station measures just 4.6 x 2.6 x 0.9 inches (11.6 × 6.6 × 2.4cm). This means it fits easily into any bag, backpack or suitcase. With a weight of 8.3oz (235g), it is very lightweight, yet is stable and secure with iPhone in place. Four rubber feet ensure a non-slip stand.
Price
The Ugreen MagFlow Qi2 Charger is priced at $49.99 / £39.99. A 1 meter long USB-C charging cable is included, but no bag or wall charger.
For an additional $50 / £40, the MagFlow Qi2 Charger is available as a 3-in-1 version with an additional space for the Apple Watch and a 30W charger included in the box.

Should you buy the Ugreen MagFlow Qi2 2-in-1 Charger?
With the MagFlow Qi2 Charger, Ugreen delivers a sophisticated charger at a fair price. The aluminum housing has a modern and high-quality look, and the handling is impressive with its stable stand and pleasantly tight angle adjustment. The magnetic force is also reliable and gives no cause for criticism. Thanks to the Qi2 standard, charging times are up to date and the iPhone remains pleasantly cool.
The lack of a charging port for another device such as the Apple Watch is a shame. You’ll need to invest in the larger, significantly more expensive model if you want to charge your Watch at the same time and using the same charging station. On the other hand, the MagFlow scores with a generously dimensioned charging area for the earbuds.
