A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on the new Belkin 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock with Qi2. I’ve only had it for a short time, but my first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. The build quality feels premium with a solid, weighty feel and a sleek, minimal design that looks great on my nightstand or desk.
The dock’s build is a blend of a smooth, matte finish and subtle polished metal accents, giving it a high-end feel that elevates my desktop. Its compact form factor and weighted base ensure it stays put, and the clever design means all cables are neatly tucked away, maintaining the clean aesthetic while providing a tidy, all-in-one charging station.
The performance is exactly what I was hoping for. The inclusion of a robust 25W power supply right in the box means there’s no need for an extra purchase. The Qi2 standard is a real highlight, not just for the fast 15W magnetic charging to my iPhone and the same great magnetic alignment and charging speeds with my new Pixel 10 Pro XL via Pixelsnap, but also for its improved efficiency and thermal management. The central pad also features a hinge, allowing you to display the screen of your magnetic charging devices. Additionally, you can fold it flat and place any Qi-compatible device on top to provide a charge.
The two additional pads provide a consistent 5W for my Apple Watch and Qi2-compatible earbuds, making the entire setup genuinely powerful and efficient, allowing me to power up all my daily essentials in one central location. The real game-changer for me is the Quiet Switch. This little toggle is genius for a bedroom charging dock. No more bright, distracting charging indicator lights glowing in the dark, which is a massive plus for nighttime use. It’s a small but thoughtful design choice that makes a big difference for a good night’s sleep.
Overall, this dock is a complete winner. It’s an outstanding combination of thoughtful design, efficient charging, and convenient features, which I highly recommend if you’re looking to simplify and upgrade your charging setup. You can pick one up from the usual retail channels or through Belkin online for AU$219.95
