We tested MagSafe accessories for iPhones.
Nowadays, when mobile devices are an integral part of everyday life, it is important to have reliable and effective accessories that allow users to keep their devices charged and ready for use even when traveling. We tested two products from Cubenest: the S1B1 power bank and the S312 Pro charger.
The S1B1 is a compact, elegant power bank with a capacity of 5000 mAh, providing enough power to charge your phone while traveling or for everyday use. It is fully compatible with MagSafe technology, which means it attaches securely to the back of your phone for fast and efficient charging.
The modern technology uses a total of 18 magnets that are integrated under the rear glass of the phone and form a kind of imaginary ring. This allows chargers compatible with this technology to stick firmly to the back of the phone, so users don’t have to worry about their phone slipping off. It also fits very well on original Apple cases and alternative cases from other manufacturers.
The power bank is made of high-quality brushed aluminum, which gives it an elegant look. The surface is treated with a protective layer that protects the phone from scratches during charging. Its dimensions of 57×12×90 mm and weight of 135 grams are small enough that it does not protrude above the bottom edge of the smartphone, which is practical for users who prefer compact solutions.
It is a practical accessory for vacations and trips; in our case, we used it during a two-week vacation in Croatia. One of its main advantages is its ability to charge two devices simultaneously – one wirelessly and the other via cable. This is especially useful for those who need to charge multiple devices at once, such as a phone and headphones.
The power bank’s input power is 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A, while the output power reaches 10W wirelessly and 12W using a cable from the USB-C port. The test was conducted on an iPhone 13 Pro, which charged from 20% to 80% in about 75 minutes. The power bank works flawlessly, but we noticed that it heated up more during charging and only charged the phone to 80%. After disconnecting and reconnecting, it finished charging. We had no problems with the previous S1B0 model.
In other tests, it charged to 80% quickly, with the remaining 20% taking much longer to prevent damage to the battery. The inaccurately centered USB-C port is disappointing. We like that it is equipped with various safety features, such as thermal and overvoltage protection, as well as short-circuit protection. The manufacturer has tried to match the colors of the iPhones it is designed for and offers the model in gray and black.
The S1B1 costs €40 and offers customers the benefits of a small and compact external battery for travel, which will be especially appreciated by travelers. It is an attractive and interesting product, a suitable accessory for iPhones. It is also possible to charge Android smartphones, such as the Infinix Note 40 Pro+, which charged reliably. The mobile phone charged from 39% to 100% in 68 minutes using a cable.
The Cubenest S312 Pro is a multifunctional charger that can charge up to 3 devices at once. We like the well-thought-out design the most. When folded, it is a small block that takes up minimal space. It is compatible with MagSafe technology, which ensures a secure connection and efficient charging. Thanks to two joints, you can adjust the combination and angle to suit your needs.
Another nice feature is the perfect workmanship. The charger is made of anodized aluminum, which has a dark gray color. The contact surfaces are rubberized, including the base. When placed on a table, the charger stays firmly in place. The product is compatible with MagSafe, which will be appreciated by all users, not just iPhone users.
The charger is ideal for users who own multiple devices, such as iPhones, Watches, and AirPods. It is an interesting accessory that also serves as a stand. One of its advantages is its foldable design, which allows for easy transport and storage. The charger consists of three separate modules that fold out to height. This is an original and interesting concept, resulting in a compact design.
The design is particularly practical for users who travel frequently and need to have their charging devices close at hand. Thanks to its elegant design and two joints, it can be folded exactly as the user needs. The elegant design and high-quality workmanship perfectly complement any desk. We definitely appreciate the practical case.
If the user is not charging their mobile phone (does not have an adapter connected to the charger), the charger can also be used as a practical designer stand for a phone on a desk. However, other phones that support the Qi standard can also be charged wirelessly. The total output power is 20W, which is sufficient for fast charging of devices.
The charger is made of solid aluminum, is robust, and dissipates heat better. It is available in gray and black. Here, too, the manufacturer has made an effort to match the colors of the phones on the market, which we appreciate. The 3-in-1 charger offers three wireless charging surfaces – one for iPhones, which supports 15W charging, one for Watches, and one for AirPods.
The travel charger can be folded into a compact shape. It can be used as a MagSafe charger or in desktop mode. The S312 Pro is equipped with a sturdy joint and rubberized parts that prevent it from sliding on the table. An improved connector, centered in the middle, allows charging even with a camera protection case.
Rich packaging of the Cubenest S312 Pro foldable wireless charger
Overall, it can be said that this is a stand and wireless charger in one. From our point of view, it is a practical accessory, even if the user prefers to charge via cable but wants to keep their smartphone “in sight”. The total output power is 20W, via MagSafe 15W. However, it is not only designed for iPhones. The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ with the included case supports MagSafe accessories, and the charger can be used to charge and dock this phone.
The 3-in-1 design is very good. Users can charge three devices at once, and power consumption is minimal when nothing is charging. The entire charging cycle is controlled by smart electronics that prevent charging interruptions. The price is €100.
The S312 Pro wireless magnetic charger and the S1B1 magnetic wireless power bank are definitely interesting and useful accessories for travelers. Their design, performance, and features make them ideal accessories for travelers, but also for the office and home. Are you looking for products that will keep your devices charged and ready to use? Both products should be part of your equipment. We recommend them.
