UGREEN’s New MagSafe Power Bank Features Liquid Cooling Technology
Innovative Cooling for Mobile Devices
Overheating is a common issue when charging smartphones, particularly when using wireless MagSafe technology. UGREEN has addressed this challenge with a radical approach, releasing a new 10,000 mAh portable charger equipped with a liquid cooling system. A transparent window on the back of the device allows users to observe the liquid circulation, which keeps the unit approximately 18 degrees cooler than standard alternatives.
While the technology is effective, it is important to note that the charger does not remain completely cold. It still generates some heat during operation, though it functions at a significantly lower temperature than competing models. This is particularly beneficial for users concerned about battery health and protecting their smartphone from overheating.
Functional Features and Design
The new device features a small display on the side panel, providing users with information regarding the remaining battery percentage and current charging speed. Additionally, a USB-C cable is integrated into the bottom of the charger, which is convenient for situations where wireless charging is not ideal or when connecting other types of devices. It is worth noting that wired charging remains more energy-efficient than wireless alternatives.
Despite its technological advantages, the device has some drawbacks. The charger is visually quite thick, which increases its overall bulk. Furthermore, for a device in this price category, the lack of a built-in kickstand is unexpected, as this is considered a standard feature in many other competing models. Additionally, when used with larger iPhone models, such as the Pro Max series, the charger may extend beyond the bottom edge of the phone, depending on the size of the case being used.
Price and Availability
The official price of the UGREEN MagFlow is $149, which is quite high for a MagSafe charger. However, the company is currently offering a promotion that allows users to purchase the product for $95. This price makes the device much more accessible for those seeking a premium solution that avoids overheating issues. For users who actively utilize the iPhone MagSafe ecosystem, this charger is an interesting alternative, though the device's dimensions and the absence of a kickstand should be considered before making a purchase decision.
