Love the convenience of 3-in-1 wireless chargers for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods — but wish they were faster? Well, Ugreen joined the early wave of Qi2.2 chargers with it MagFlow 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger. And that means it leaps from 15 watts (Qi2) to 25W (Qi2.2) of charging power for late-model iPhones, which makes a big difference in charging speed. And with this Ugreen MagFlow charger deal, you can get $40 off right now on Amazon.
Ugreen MagFlow 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger deal
Getting a jump on many competitors as the market starts to move from Qi2 chargers to Qi2.2 chargers, Ugreen rolled out the MagFlow 3-in-1 along a great power bank and some other products in early September. I tested the 3-in-1 charger extensively and found it to be refreshingly fast and convenient. It folds up for portability or sits on a desk or nightstand with ample charging power for three devices. But it’s not without minor problems.

The aluminum charger features a compact, foldable design that’s portable enough for travel while maintaining a substantial, quality feel. The adjustable stand offers 70-degree tilt and 360-degree rotation, making it versatile for various viewing angles.
The charger delivers impressive results, achieving 10% charge in just 10 minutes during testing. It provides 25W to iPhone, with 5W each for Apple Watch and AirPods. The Qi2.2 certification ensures improved magnetic alignment and enhanced heat control compared to standard Qi charging. The magnetic hold proves strong and reliable, securely gripping MagSafe-compatible cases.
While the premium aluminum construction feels substantial, the hinge operates somewhat stiffly compared to competitors. The foldable design excels for portability, and the retractable Apple Watch puck maintains a clean aesthetic. However, the included 45W power adapter is slightly bulky for carrying around and may not fit easily into crowded power strips.
Ugreen’s ThermalGuard system provides comprehensive protection with eight safety layers, including overcurrent and foreign object detection. The charger warms slightly during use but stays within safe temperatures. A notable advantage: Ugreen includes a 30W USB-C charger and cable, offering a complete solution out of the box—something many competitors omit.
The bottom line

At approximately $100, the MagFlow 3-in-1 represents a premium investment for Apple ecosystem users. It excels at simultaneous three-device charging and works beautifully for bedside tables or desks, particularly with iPhone’s Standby mode. The stiff hinge, bulky adapter, and occasional low-grade humming are minor drawbacks.
For dedicated Apple users seeking cutting-edge wireless charging technology with elegant design, this charger delivers excellent value. However, its appeal diminishes for older iPhone models or Android users without built-in MagSafe magnets. It’s one of the best MagSafe-compatible 3-in-1 chargers available, assuming you’re fully invested in Apple’s ecosystem.
This foldable, magnetic Qi2 travel charger suits iPhone 16/15/14/13/12, AirPods and Apple Watch. Charges iPhone at 25 watts.
- Charges iPhone fast at 25W
- Powers up three devices
- Folds down for charging
- Might be too bulky for your pants pocket
