Satechi launches next-gen Qi2 15W foldable 3-in-1 charging station

Oct 25, 2024Oct 25, 2024

Today, Satechi is officially launching its next-generation Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad. Delivering a more premium aluminum build alongside the ability to charge your gear in an entirely flat position or at a heads-up viewing angle for a proper desktop MagSafe-ready stand setup, it is now available for purchase with an included 45W power adapter. Head below for a closer look.

As we have gone over previously, the 3-in-1 magnetic charging station space is a very busy one. Just about every tech accessory brand out there has one and it is becoming more and more difficult to stand out from the pack. Nomad’s remains as a relatively unique form-factor with a super heavy-duty base, the new Hyper model that is now up for sale provides a fourth 10W Qi pad, but many of the options out there are, at their core, the same thing these days.

Satechi is delivering another Qi2 15W 3-in-1 setup, but, like much of the brand’s accessories, it does find a way to standout and will likely get shortlisted among the top-tier options on the market.

Keep your everyday essentials charged and organized with the latest Qi2 technology: simultaneously deliver 15W of power to your smart phone, 5W of power to your AirPods, and 5W of power to your Apple Watch. Its foldable, travel-friendly design features a premium-grade aluminum enclosure, a vegan-leather base, a soft silicone charging puck, and sturdy, durable hinges that won’t weaken over time

The first thing that catches my eye here is the striking aesthetics. Featuring an aluminum base, you’ll find a Space Gray-like color treatment surrounding the edge of the charging pad with a sort of chamfered edge approach. Atop that, a vegan leather wrap adds a touch of luxury to the look and feel here without driving the price up too high the way a full-grain leather might.

The second element of the design here is the foldable nature. It’s not the first 3-in-1 to offer this feature, but it its among only a small handful on options from the top-tier accessory makers to offer it. This charging pad can be used in an entirely flat orientation before the main extension carrying the 15W MagSafe pad folds up opposite the pop-out 5W Apple Watch charger to provide a heads-up, desktop ready viewing angle for your Apple gear. This model, at least for me, appears to be a more proper desktop option that also happens to fold down by comparison to some of the other models that seem like more of a portable-first design. We will report back soon once we have had a chance to go hands-on.

The new next-generation Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad from Satechi is going up for sale today on its official site and over on Amazon for $129.99 shipped. As mentioned above, it ships with a 45W power adapter as well.

Some lucky Amazon accounts will see an on-page code, U0N3XRWSSZ9D, that will knock 10% off the launch price…but appears to be targeted to some users only at this point.
