Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad review: for something that folds so small, it’s got a lot to offer

Anker MagGo Wi-fi Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad overview

The Anker MagGo Wi-fi Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad is a travel-friendly Qi2 MagSafe charger with charging modules for an iPhone and AirPods, and an authorized Apple Watch fast-charging module. It has a retail worth of $89.99 / £89.99 / AU$199.99 on the Anker web site and will be bought at Amazon too.

The fabric of the Anker MagGo Wi-fi Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad seems to be and feels high-quality, and the patented design is well-considered. I used to be notably joyful to see Anker has integrated supplies that might scale back their environmental affect by utilizing 75% PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic within the outer casing of the MagGo Wi-fi Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad.

It took mere moments to fold the MagGo Wi-fi Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad down sufficiently small to slot in the palm of my hand, and the magnets have been sturdy sufficient to resist the depths of my bag however straightforward to drag aside when wanted. It was not really easy to take away the iPhone from the charging pad, nevertheless, until I had two free palms to pry them aside and cease the charging pad from hitting the desk as soon as separated.

Though I preferred the novel UFO-meets-macaron aesthetic, I discovered the charger moved simply when laid flat to cost three gadgets, particularly when inserting or eradicating the iPhone and Apple Watch. The charging module for the latter made me probably the most uncomfortable, as I might hear the outer floor scraping on the desk every time it moved. It acquired just a little marked from the tough floor of the desk I photographed it on – thankfully it wiped off simply and there didn’t seem like any scratches, however I’d nonetheless advise warning. This may be prevented if an Apple Watch has an all-in-one band or a sturdy strap is left fixed, because the charger’s silicone strap allows the Apple Watch charging module to tilt upwards, permitting upright charging.

I’m not likely a fan of flat wi-fi chargers – until it’s a charging pad I can comfortably maintain in my hand just like the Anker MagGo Wireless Charger Pad. Nevertheless, I used to be happy to find the Anker MagGo Wi-fi Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad may very well be made right into a stand by attaching the Apple Watch charging module to the again of the iPhone module. It’s not an ideal answer because the telephone can solely be panorama and there’s just one viewing angle, however as Anker’s level was to facilitate StandBy mode, it does the job.
