AUKEY MagFusion GameFrost Wireless Charger Review - Built for Gamers

Nov 12, 2024

AUKEY has just introduced its new MagFusion GameFrost wireless charger as part of its Omnia-Frez series, bringing some serious heat (rather, the opposite) to the wireless charging category. The company's Omnia-Frez lineup includes three products, but the one we will focus on is the most crucial one, especially for mobile gamers. The AUKEY MagFusion GameFrost wireless charger is designed to offer advanced cooling features with MagSafe compatibility and seamless Qi2 support for a wide range of devices. With a price tag of $42.99, the wireless charger delivers excellent value to a specific niche. The company is also offering a 10% launch discount with code GAMEFROST10.

The AUKEY MagFusion GameFrost comes in a minimal package that includes the essentials: the wireless charger itself, a sturdy USB-C to USB-C braided cable in black, and a user manual. The inclusion of the high-quality braided cable is definitely a plus for the accessory, as it will restrict the wires from remaining untangled.

Visually, the MagFusion GameFrost wireless charger from AUKEY features a sleek, circular design with a sturdy aluminum build that gives it a premium feel. We have seen wireless chargers in the past that scream plastic, and considering what you are paying for the charger, it is indeed worth it. The aluminum build also contributes to better build quality and durability that protects the cooling components on the inside. Thanks to the build, it is a bit on the heavier end and if you are pairing it with a 'Pro Max' version of the iPhone, you will feel a massive difference.

The MagFusion GameFrost features a soft-touch finish that protects the device from scratches, and the rubberized edges also keep it secure in place during charging. On the front, you will get three buttons and an LED indicator for temperature monitoring. The design includes a power button that turns wireless charging on or off, a button to adjust the LED light models, and a button that controls the fan's speed so you can choose the settings that best fit your preferences.

The AUKEY MagFusion GameFrost delivers 15W of fast wireless charging, making it one of the best options for iPhone or Android devices that supports the new Qi2 standard. The versatility of the accessory is quite, as it can accommodate a wide range of devices, making it an ideal choice for households with mixed phone brands.

The MagSafe magnets at the back are quite strong, and you really have to apply some force to get it off, which is a good thing considering it is designed for gamers and their need to keep the phone in their hand while charging. You can most certainly forget that the MagFusion GameFrost will drop on its own. I used the wireless charger over my MagSafe leather case from Otterbox, and it worked flawlessly.

Getting to the main selling point of the AUKEY MagFusion GameFrost, the powerful active cooling system will keep your phone's temperature way below room temperature. This means that users who game for long sessions will be glad to know that their devices will be cold to the touch. Based on the LED indicator on the MagFusion GameFrost wireless charger, I was able to go as low as 12 degrees Celsius with the fan speed set on high.

The active cooling system includes three fan modes: slow, medium, and fast, which you can set based on what you are doing on your device. For standard usage, we would recommend slow or medium, but if you are editing a short video or gaming, the fan's fast speed will definitely keep the temperatures stable for extended use.

While the MagFusion GameFrost is good at what it does, the fan is a bit loud, especially when it is set to fast mode, so you will be able to hear the blades running in your sessions. The low and medium settings of the fan are bearable so you would not be too distracted while you game or work.

AUKEY claims that the MagFusion GameFrost can reduce device temperatures by up to 20 degrees Celsius, which is a game-changer for users who push their phones to the limit. In my experience, the charger effectively dropped my device’s temperature from the high double digits to a comfortable single-digit range. This specific aspect is particularly important for gamers who need their phones to stay cool to avoid thermal throttling, which reduces the device's performance. Furthermore, lower temperatures also contribute to better battery health and slow down the degradation process.

The AUKEY MagSafe Fusion GameFrost wireless charger is a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade their charging setup. It is a combination of fast 15W charging, efficient cooling system, and MagSafe compatibility for a wide range of phones. The light modes are for aesthetics, and the three fan settings give users more control over the hardware and its performance.
