Does anyone have this charger and if so, how’s the hinge, weak or solid and will hold up over time?

Can’t charge your AirPods?
First, make sure you’re using the adapter and cable included in the package.
Then follow these steps:
- Unplug the charging adapter, wait about 5 seconds, and plug it back in.
- Place your AirPods in the center of the charging area.
- If it still doesn’t charge, try placing the AirPods on the iPhone charging area.
Can it be used with a phone case?
It can be used with a phone case, but we recommend using a MagSafe-compatible case to ensure a stable magnetic connection. Thick cases may increase the wireless charging distance, weaken the magnetic connection, and cause overheating.

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.

I bought these two on Amazon to try them out:
- https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Compatible-Charging-Magnetic-Wireless/dp/B0FMB4ZY6F
- https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Compatible-Charging-Certified-Wireless/dp/B0F9L1PPPJ
Both rather expensive, but I thought Anker's stand would be more sturdy than Belkin's, especially when it comes to phone's mount. 17 Pro Max wobbles a lot on Anker's station, regardless of the angle, whenever I use it on the mount with one finger. On Belkin's, it's a bit better but one still has to hold the base when taking the phone off the mount.
Surprisingly, Anker's rating is a bit higher on Amazon. I'm thinking of returning Anker and keeping Belkin.
Haven't seen too many posts related to wireless chargers specifically supporting Pixel 10 Pro XL's 25W wireless charging. Just wanted to report that Belkin's new Qi2.2 wireless charger does indeed reach full speed as expected. Works with the Bellroy case as well. It also includes a USB C cable, a 45W power adapter, a separate charging pad for wireless earbuds, and an additional USB C port for 5W wired charging, and all this for 10 dollars less than the official Pixelsnap charger, which has none of these. Seems like the better deal. Worth considering if you are having trouble finding the official one or want to save a few dollars.
Everyone! I have been excited about the ESR 3 in 1 Travel edition,, ever since it was announced in IFA 2025 this year because Cryoboost and I pre-ordered it as soon as it showed up on their site and I finally have it!!!
I have been meaning to get a 3 in 1 charger, and right now in the market there is just Belkin and ESR who make Qi 2.2 25W speeds for phone and Apple Certified Watch charger matching the speeds of apple cables that come in Box.
I have run a bunch of tests and ran comparisons, but ESR I think is probably gonna be a winner this year against everyone in this category.
Look and Feel: There is a premium feel to the charger, uses a metallic hinge and has 2 fans built in, one for phone and for the airpods area. It has pretty long cable USB C -C cable with 90 degree bend on one side for easy placement on the desk/night stand. It also includes a 50W charger although I'm not sure if the PD specs support it compared to other brands say Belkin.
Operation: The fans are super quiet, automatic as soon as phone is placed. You would have to put next to ears to hear it IMO. There is a button available to run it off if needed, however I dont see ever doing that. The viewing angles are great for the phone and adjustable, I wanna say upto 70 degrees. There are tiny magnets on the charging pad for Airpods to align it properly, which I think is neat.
Tests: I setup a shortcut in the phone for battery status and automation to log the time it took to charge every 5 or 10% of battery and I put up the charts as comparison along with Belkin's for iPhone 17 pro. Also I will be rerunning some tests with Belkin since it kind went into super trickle charging after 80%
I also ran tests with Ultra 1, Ultra 2 and S8 apple watches , its not as scientific of a test comaprison since there are no automations on watch but Belkin has a slight upper hand where it can charge 80% in an hour for Ultra but ESR could only reach about 72%.
The watch charger seems upgraded compared to the portable/removable version thats in the Desktop version since it could only do 50% in one hour for Ultra.
Verdict - for Phone charging supporting Qi 2.2 25W, ESR is faster in both 0-50% and 50-80% scenario.
So exciting! I truly believe ESR knocked it out of the park but one thing they missed is the travel case like they offered with last gen. May be they will come out with one?
I’m trying to decide between two chargers. I like the design of the first one better, but it only supports 2.5W charging for the watch and AirPods, while the second one supports 5W charging for both. I’m also curious about the difference between a genuine and a third-party watch charger, especially in terms of speed and temperature. Both chargers are available on AliExpress. If you’ve used either of these products or have any advice, I’d really appreciate your input.
