The clever design of this tiny 2-in-1 charger makes traveling with it a breeze
The charger folds into a tiny puck, charges two devices at once and takes up barely any space in my bag.
For ultra-portable needs, like traveling or commuting, the Ugreen 25W MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Charger might be your iPhone’s best friend.
This MagSafe charger has two charging sides that fold up and magnetically attach together. One side has Qi2 25W of power, while the other side offers 5W of power, ideal for AirPods or other smaller accessories.
Folded up, the puck-like charger is small enough to fit in a pocket. Beyond just how it works, I like how flexible the rubber hinge is, how the design lends itself to some clever tricks, and how premium the materials feel.
Whether it’s used on a desk, hotel nightstand, or an airplane tray table, it’s a nifty way to charge two devices at once. I’ve been using the 2-in-1 charger on and off for several weeks. It’s been a good addition to my desk that folds up tidily when I’m done working for the day.
This charger is simple, yet convenient
The thing I like about the MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Charger is how easy it is to use. There aren’t any oddities to it. It’s ready to go out of the box. However, it doesn’t skimp on functionality. The two halves magnetically stick together. You can pull it apart however you like, but if you slide the two halves apart, it naturally parts.
The sides are clearly marked as to which one is the Qi2 25W side, and which one isn’t. The obvious way to use the charger is to lay it flat on a table. But this is where some cleverness comes in. If you fold the charger all the way around, then you can prop your phone up on its side, like a stand.
This is the reason you might want to bring it along on a plane or to a hotel, instead of Apple’s regular MagSafe charger. Having a compact stand for video viewing is great.
The device is 2.37 inches by 2.86 inches by 1.05 inches. It feels smaller than the numbers suggest. It’s about the size of an AirPods 3 case. If weight is a concern, the device comes in at 3.88 ounces.
No Apple Watch charger may be a pro or a con
The biggest downside to me is the lack of an Apple Watch charger. I would have preferred that instead of an AirPods charger. However, that’s not a flaw, so much as just a design decision. I know there are plenty of people who don’t wear an Apple Watch and don’t like that a lot of accessories include it.
This portable charger will work for anyone. It’s especially nice for people who don’t want the Apple Watch part. So, as much as iPhone owners can benefit from the MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Charger, Android users can too. Galaxy Buds would be a perfect accessory for the 5W charging spot.
Another item to note is the lack of a power adapter in the box. Again, that’s not a flaw of this product, but something to be aware of. You’ll want at least a 30W power adapter, but likely a 35W one will be best.
Should you buy the Ugreen 25W MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Charger?
The Ugreen 25W MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Charger is simple, straightforward, and effective. I like its understated design and glassy, smooth feel. Its materials are top-notch. It’s hard to argue that you should buy this device just because it feels nice to hold or fold up. However, it is an extra benefit if it fits your needs.
