It only feels like tomorrow that the 15W QI2 standard ends the original Qi Wireless Charging Standard – Qi goes back in July 2010, while QI2 hits the scene in April 2023 – but now sees Qi2.2 make an appearance. This leads to wireless charging power to 25W and adds a fleet of power management and foreign object detection features.
While right now QI is the only smartphone to support 2.2 Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL – But iOS 26 adds support to this new standard for iPhone 16 line (except iPhone 16E), and it is likely that the upcoming iPhone 17 (or at least some tastes of this new handset) will also support this rapid charging- Charger and Power Bank makers are hurry to jump on this new standards.

One of them is Ugreen, and I’m testing their new Magflow 10,000mAh/37WH QI2 25W Power Bank (While the standard is QI2.2, the branding calls it Qi2 25W, yes, misleading, I know!).
The 25W wireless charging pads can move an iPhone 16 Pro Max from flat to 50% in 30 minutes, as the 15W charging pads was about 45 minutes to the pad.
Power Bank airline is safe, and even sports friendly people, so you should not have any problem in countries like China, which are taking power banks on the aircraft seriously.
Yes, it’s airline friendly!

Keeping the 25W capacity of wireless charging pads aside, the maghflow power bank feels very premium for its soft, rubber -rich face and quality polymer construction. The corners are rounded, and the edges are well chamfered, so there are no sharp edges to strike in the meat or burst through a bag.

On the side, a small is yet to be an easy-to-half-to-half-half-to-a-half-pandent screen that reflects the capacity of the battery and whether it is charged through the cable or wirelessly.
The LCD screen is bright, simple and easy to read.

Talking about cables, there is an underlying USB-C22 cm cable that is still soft, so you are never without one, and it also doubles as a cord. There is also a USB-C port.

Both cable and port can be used to charge the power bank, and both support input and output power up to 30W. Magflow Power Bank is packed with all the security facilities that you will expect from a modern power bank, and is finalized.
Why do I recommend this product
Not everyone needs QI2.2 Power Bank, even if you have a device that supports the standard, but if you have a supported device and you want the fastest charging speed, or you want to buy something that is received for a few years of the future, then. Ugreen 10,000mAh Magflow $ 90 is worth the tag. I cannot make this power bank mistake in terms of quality or performance.
