Does anyone have this charger and if so, how’s the hinge, weak or solid and will hold up over time?
I picked up the new Belkin magnetic charging dock, UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 with Qi2.2 25W to primarily charge my iPhone 16PM / AirPods / AW Ultra, but also an opportunity to test to see if the 10PXL wirelessly charges up to 25w.
The unit comes with 5ft/1.5m USB-C to USB-C cable and 45W USB-C Power Supply Unit (PSU).
According to Belkin the UCP 3-in-1 Qi2 25w will: charge devices certified with Qi2 25W technology will charge up to 25W; other Qi2 certified devices will charge up to 15W; lists the new Pixel 10s as compatible.
Made sure I turned on the dock's active cooling "smart fan", charging optimization set to Adaptive, and magnetically attached the 10PXL with case on (OEM Pixelsnap case) to UPC dock.
12:14pm, started with 30% battery and temps approx. 84.6F, Google Charging Diagnostics reported 1w > 2w > 5w > etc as wireless charging ramped up
12:15pm, 31% battery, Charging Diagnostics reported 30w which seemed 5w higher than Google's stated max wireless charging for 10PXL
Downloaded and launched AccuBatterty Pro to monitor for more details
12:16pm to 12:24pm (38% battery, temps @ 88.2F) AccuBattery reported charge current fluctuating, as expected, between between 18w to 22.5w, topping at 22.5w
12:32pm (51% battery, temps @ 95.2F), wireless charge range from 18 to 20.6w
12:42pm (66% battery, temps @ 97.7F), wireless charge range from 18 to 22.5w
12:44pm (69% battery, temps topping 98.1F), wireless charge 15 to 19w
12:55PM (81% battery, temps dropping to 91F), wireless charge dropping to 8w to 10w
From 81%+ to full, wireless charging trickled between 5w to 8w
13:31pm (94% battery, temps down to 82.2F) tickled between 5w to 6.5w
13:51pm 100% charged
TLDR; Was able to wireless charge 10PXL, 30% to 80% in 40min, at close to stated "Pixelsnap wireless charging (Qi2-certified) up to 25W" using Belkin's UPC 3-in-1 Qi2 25w dock.
Overall, UCP dock is nicely designed, high quality and solid build—soft and hard touch surfaces, and hefty base. Will need to check the active cooling feature with more use, but seems to work—there’s a switch on the base where you can turn the active cooling off and on.
Dock was able to charge my APP2 and PBP2 wirelessly in protective Spigen lockfit cases. One ding was there wasn’t an extra USB-C port to connect and charge a non-Apple device such as PW.
Price is $129, but being a brand new Qi2.2 25w product, it doesn’t seem egregiously expensive compared to others coming to market. Definitely worth a pickup under $100 whenever it goes on sale, maybe during the holidays.
Will follow-up when my Belkin UltraCharge 2-in-1 Qi2.2 25w foldable stand with 5W USB-C port arrives next week.
