UGreen 2-in-1 Qi2 Magnetic Foldable Fast Charging Station review

The UGreen 2-in-1 Qi2 Magnetic Foldable Fast Charging Station is a wireless charging stand comprising a Qi base and upper Qi2 module that conveniently folds down into a compact charging cuboid. It offers the convenience and versatility, plus the bonus of a 5W USB-C output on the right-hand side of the base, meaning it could be upgraded to a 3-in-1 charger easily with the addition of an Apple Watch charging puck.

With a list price of $49.99 / £39.99, the UGreen 2-in-1 Qi2 Magnetic Foldable Fast Charging Station is available to purchase from the UGreen website or Amazon. This isn’t a bad price for a space-saving 2-in-1 wireless charger – especially one with the benefit of an additional output. But I’d still hold out paying full price, as offers can often be found from both retailers, with the price dropping to $43 / £19.99 at the time of writing.

As there’s no adapter included, and the USB-C to USB-C cable provided is a little on the short side at just 3.3ft / 1 meter long, the UGreen 2-in-1 Qi2 Magnetic Foldable Fast Charging Station proved a bit of a disappointment in the accessory department. It isn’t unusual not to get an adapter these days, even with some of the best wireless chargers, but when it comes to multi-device chargers, the chance of already having one to hand that’s powerful enough is a bit slimmer. In this charger’s case, UGreen recommends a wall adapter of at least 30W to ensure efficiency.

At a size of 2.4 x 2.4 x 1.5 inches / 61 x 61 x 38mm when folded, and weighing 7.5oz / 213g, the Foldable Fast Charging Station was pleasingly compact and lightweight. I found the foldable design really satisfying, particularly how easy it was to fold the charger back into a little cuboid one-handed, which proved convenient whenever I needed to top up my ear buds, or when I wanted to tidy it out of the way.
