UGREEN - MagFlow Qi2.2 25W Magnetic Power Bank for MagSafe, 10,000mAh Portable Charger with 30W Built-in Cable - Blue

Product is good for streamers and easy to move around, although gets hot but good for emergency power need

I have bought several charging products from UGreen recently, and they all seem to impress. The build quality and durability have been great for my family. This wireless charger has a good output, a little battery meter, and a nifty braided USB-C cable attached in a way that it is also a holding strap.

This product delivers on the promise of fast charging. Whether you are using it wired or wireless it will charge your device in a snap. To top it off it also charges itself fast so it is always available when you need it.

Awesome power bank! It was so useful! I travel the world using this to keep my phone powered up and took lots of photos!

Battery banks are unexciting, so I appreciate that UGreen put some creativity into this new MagFlow Qi 2.2 model. It’s one of the first certified Qi 2.2 magnetic battery banks on the market. Qi 2.2 ups magnetically delivered power from the Qi 2.0 15w standard to 25w for supported devices. This includes all variants of the iPhone 16 and 17 and the Google Pixel 10 and Pro XL. There may be other Android phones too, so check with the manufacturer for compatibility. While MagFlow is backwards compatible with older Qi devices it’s at the slower speeds those support, negating the MagFlow’s main feature, speed. DOUBLE DUTY USB-C CABLE Another MagFlow feature is its unique built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a carry strap. It’s a fun idea. Internal cables are old news, but the courage to use the cable as a carry strap is quite fresh. The cable feels robust and durable, and supposedly it can take 10K bends. Still, I wonder, having had many cables’ strain relief fail on me – maybe because of abuse, but consumers rarely baby cables. The other problem I have with the cable/strap it’s always there, even if I don’t want a strap. Built-in cables usually either fit in valley in the battery bank or are retractable. Here, the cable/strap cannot be tucked away and I find it often just gets in the way. The magnet on the Magflow instantly snaps to my iPhone 17 Pro Max and has a Hercules hold. I suppose the intention is to pop the MagFlow onto the phone and use the strap to carry the Magflow and attached phone. I tested this out and it does work until you bump the phone or Magflow on your leg or worse. At that point the phone will shift and if the hit is powerful enough, dislodge. So, ultimately, while the strap idea is novel, I’m not sure how practical it is. BUILD QUALITY Aside from the strap issue the MagFlow is excellent, in both design and functionality. I can tell UGreen put effort into making this battery bank look attractive and modern. In-hand it feels both solid and safe, probably the most important feature in a battery bank. And it has all the requisite overheating and over charging features. When charging it barely gets warm to the touch. It’s nicely machined light blue aluminum with smooth, curved corners that can’t pierce you as you pick it up. There’s even a small nook to rest the thumb next to the screen. And the power button, while tiny, is “clicky” and always responds to my request. It really is a handsome piece. There’s sure to be complaints about its thickness, and that’s fair because it’s definitely chonky. There are slimer battery banks around, but at reduced charge speed too. That makes them run cooler which is why they are slimer. I’m not an engineer, but I’m sure UGreen made the MagFlow as slim as possible while keeping it max safe too. CHARGING Functionally, the MagFlow has 10K mAh, which is a decent size for a daily driver. It’s enough to fill my iPhone almost twice. It’s also far below the max 27K mAh allowed on airplanes so no worries there either. Being “just” 10K mAh, it’s important to keep track of how much juice is available so UGreen included a real time battery percent meter. If it has 25% charge power remaining, you see “25.” I’ve found the meter to be accurate and so much more useful than the bars many other battery banks have. I mean what does 1 bar left mean? It could be 1% or 25%, which is a huge difference. Now to the substance of the MagFlow. My first magnetic charge didn’t go well at all, taking 40 minutes for a 25% battery boost. Turned out my phone case was the culprit because it was off to the races after I removed it. The next 25% took half that time. If you need a slightly faster charge both the built-in USB-C cable and the additional USB-C port can supply up to 30w of power. It charged my 17 Pro Max too 100% in about 1.3 hours. Between all its power outputs, MagFlow can charge three devices simultaneously, but at a vastly slower speed. In this scenario, the magnetic charging drops to 5w and USB-C to 7w. For how I use battery banks, being able to charge three devices simultaneously is a bonus because usually it’s just my phone that runs low during the day. But it’s good to know, when traveling, if I need to top up my Airpod case or iPad I can. One last note, which I found buried in the manual. While MagFlow supports trickle charging, it must be activated by pressing the power button for 3 seconds. Once the charge is completed trickle charging turns off and must be reactivated if desired again. BOTTOMLINE The MagFlow is one of the fastest battery banks around with its Qi 2.2 25w speeds plus 30w USB-C charging too. If you have a compatible Qi 2.2 phone, and time is money to you, it’s worth a look. It’s on the large side and the built-in cable/strap can be more of a nuisance and help so you’ll want to weigh that into your consideration.
