Weighing 254g, measuring 2.1cm thick, and around the size of two-thirds of an iPhone 15 Pro Max, this 10,000mAh power bank is not too heavy and yet compact enough to put into any bag or backpack. Furthermore, rated at 36Wh, it is well below the limit of 100Wh for power banks allowed on carry-on luggage for international flights.
It is strange to describe a power bank looking sleek. But this is exactly what this UGreen MagFlow power bank exudes. Maybe it is because of its “greyish-blue” colour tones and its rubberised/metallic build. It feels good to hold the power bank in your palm.
On one of the two bigger surfaces of the power bank is the Qi2 wireless charging pad. And on one of the shorter sides, you will find comes with a built-in braided 22cm USB-C cable that you can charge your devices as well as charge the power bank itself.
The best thing about this USB-C cable is that it doubles as a strap for you to carry or loop your hand through it when holding the power bank to charge your smartphone. Beside this USB-C cable, you will find a USB-C input/output port and a power button. Around the power button’s corner on the longer side, there is a mini display to show the battery juice left.
One neat feature of this power bank is the trickle charge mode, which provides a steady low-current output for a more stable and complete charge. It is said to help maintain battery health and extend lifespan of the devices.
To activate this mode, press the power button three times. Otherwise, a single press will turn on the power bank while a double-press turns it off. However, whenever you place a compatible device on the wireless charging pad, it will automatically charges the device.
In theory, the power bank will be able to charge three devices at the same time using its wireless charging pad, built-in USB cable and the USB-C port. However, that means all the devices will be charged at very slow pace, as explained in the graphic below.
But one neat trick of this power bank is passthrough charging. In other words, it can charge up your smartphone via the wireless charging pad while being charged using the built-in USB-C cable or port. This is not the most efficient way, but certainly a lifesaver if there is only one USB-C port to use.
For those using iPhones with MagSafe, you will be delighted to hear that the magnetic connection to this power bank is solid and never ran the risk of disconnected unless intended. A little downer though is that the power bank does not fit a smaller smartphone like a iPhone 13, when it fits larger smartphones like iPhone 15 Pro Max or Google Pixel 10 Pro Max almost perfectly.
Using the wireless charging pad only, it took 4 hours 47 minutes to charge an iPhone 15 Pro Max from 50% to full. For a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL that supports Qi2, it took only 66 minutes to charge it from 50% to full. One thing to note is that the power bank does get a tad hot, but not scalding hot, when using wireless charging.
Obviously, using the USB-C cable will be much faster. And it took only 31 minutes for this power bank to charge a Honor X9d from 66% to full.
Of course, this power bank is not cheap. For the same price, you probably can get a power bank with way bigger battery capacity. However, not only are you getting a wireless charging pad with this power bank, you are also getting 13-layer protection including over-voltage, over-charge and short circuit. So, you can have a peace of mind using this power bank.
VERDICT: If you have the latest devices that support Qi2 wireless charging, the UGreen MagFlow 10,000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank is definitely the power bank to get. Even if you are not, it is good to have one in case you upgrade your devices in the near future. Not to mention, its sleekness, the handy built-in USB-C cable and the convenient wireless charging should be enough reasons to get one.
