Qubo MagZap Z3 Wireless Charger Review: Functional And Affordable

Pros

  • Easy-to-carry
  • Built-in safe charging mechanisms
  • Can charge three Apple devices simultaneously

Cons

  • Charges devices slowly

Although wireless charging has been available for a while, it has only just begun to gain popularity. The global Qi wireless charging standard has been adopted by an increasing number of manufacturers and it is currently present in almost all flagship phones.

Companies are removing charging bricks from their packaging, forcing users to hunt for alternative or more suitable solutions. A recent line of wireless chargers from Qubo can help you swiftly refuel your Apple gadgets. Here is a review of the Qubo MagZap Z3, one of such options which costs Rs. 4,990. Also Read | Oppo Reno 10 5G Review: A Stylish And Feature-Packed Smartphone

What’s Inside The Box?

  • MagZap Z2 Wireless Charger
  • USB Type-C cable
  • A circular ring that you can stick on the back of your phone
  • Warranty Card

Design

The Qubo MagZap Z3 gets a foldable 3-in-1 magnetic design. It can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and your AirPods at the same time. The magnets enable the devices to sit securely in a place. I kind of like the stack design where the charging pads attach and sit on top of one another with the help of magnets.

Performance

The Qubo MagZap Z3 wireless charger is compatible with Apple’s Magsafe technology. The charging pad can charge three devices at a time. The devices will start charging the moment the MagSafe magnets are latched to the iPhone’s back panel.

You can charge your iPhone with a MagSafe charger with a 15W capacity. Using the MagZap Z3, it takes about an hour to charge your iPhone to 50 percent battery capacity. This is slow considering that a 20W adapter plugged into a Lightning cable can charge an iPhone to 50 percent in about 30 minutes. Thus, I still choose the Lightning cable when I need to fast charge my iPhone.

Charging And Connectivity

The Qubo MagZap Z3 wireless charger is MagSafe and Qi-compatible. It provides 15W of charging. The company says that it provides protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating. Besides, the setup process is quite simple. You just got to connect the cable to the charging pad and place your iPhone, Airpods, and your Apple watch to charge them.

Final Verdict

Honestly, I think the charger is worth buying for people who have a lot of devices that need to be charged wirelessly, especially for Apple users who have more than two units. However, it is not recommended to buy Qubo MagZap Z3 wireless charger if you are looking for fast charging.

This ensures improved hearing protection and the great seal for a unique, top-notch ANC experience.

Qubo MagZap Z2 Magnetic Wireless Charger Review: A Cool Accessory For Your Apple Devices

Pros

  • Easy and convenient
  • Snaps into the perfect charging position
  • Can charge an iPhone and a pair of Airpods simultaneously

Cons

  • May fall off while using iPhone
  • Charges slower than the lighting cable

Nowadays, wireless chargers are a simple way to charge your phone without having to plug it in. And the best chargers are stand-style ones because you can use your phone while charging, unlike horizontal pads.

The latest technological developments were recently made available to Indian customers by Hero Group’s Qubo, giving them an advantage and an additional level of ease. The Qubo MagZap Z2 Magnetic wireless charger for Apple devices is the latest product the company is offering. It can charge an iPhone and a pair of AirPods simultaneously. In this review, I am going to tell you how it works and whether or not it’s a wise investment. Let’s dive in. Also Read | Qubo MagZap Z3 Wireless Charger Review: Functional And Affordable

What’s Inside The Box?

  • MagZap Z2 Wireless Charger
  • Charging Cable 1M Type C
  • Warranty Card

Design

Like most wireless charger designs, the MagZap Z2 is minimal, simple, and easy to use. Designed with care for Apple users, Qubo MagZap chargers have a built-in safe charging mechanism to safeguard your Apple devices. Qubo has designed this range with the highest quality standards followed by multiple levels of reliability testing. It features a stand-form factor with two circular magnetic holders that supports more than one Apple product simultaneously.  

Also Read | Mivi Duopods K7 True Wireless Earphones Review: Balanced Sound On A Budget

Performance

I enjoyed the convenience of using the Qubo MagZap Z2 wireless charger. All you have to do is stick it onto the back of any iPhone, and it will automatically snap into the correct position. The iPhone will start charging the moment the MagSafe magnets are latched to the iPhone’s back panel. I don’t have to wonder if it’s positioned properly for the best charging.

One thing I would highlight is that the MagSafe Charger charges significantly slower than a lightning connection. It doesn’t quite charge as quickly as expected because of the magnetic alignment but does its job well. The iPhone can be charged with 15W capacity using the MagSafe Charger. It takes an hour to charge an iPhone to 50 percent battery capacity using the MagZap Z2. That’s slower when considering a lightning-connected 20W adapter can charge an iPhone to 50 percent in just 28 minutes. When I work from home, this is not a big concern, but if I need to charge my iPhone quickly, I still choose the lightning cord.

Additionally, this magnetic wireless charger has multiple protection features including overheating, overcurrent, over-voltage, and short circuit protection.

Final Verdict

The Qubo MagZap Z2 Magnetic Wireless Charger offers the convenience of charging two Apple devices at once. This eliminates the mess created with multiple wires required to charge iPhone, iWatch, or Airpods separately.  

There are a few things that I truly wish it offers to improve the user experience. A slightly stickier base is one of them. It simply has four rubber feet on the bottom that could have offered better gripping. It moves about rather freely, which is nice, but the stationery form factor would have been appreciated. There is already a significant amount of weight in the base. It’s not just empty plastic, but to actually hold it in place, it may be a little heavier. As per my experience, I’ve found that it is a decent device that works efficiently. It is definitely a good wireless charger.
