The Belkin UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger offers Qi2 25W fast wireless charging in a compact, travel-friendly design. Reviewers noted its foldable build and magnetic charging pad for iPhone and AirPods, with a soft-touch silicone surface that prevents scratches. The device comes in three colors and includes a charging brick and cable, though the recycled packaging lacks branding. While it's priced competitively at $59.99, it doesn't include Apple Watch charging in the base model, which may be a drawback for some users. This charger is ideal for iPhone and Pixel users seeking portability and fast charging, but those needing Apple Watch support should consider Belkin's other models.
Full review
Qi2 25W in a stand that folds flat
Belkin built the UltraCharge around the Qi2 25W standard, and 25 watts is the rating the charger is designed to hold rather than a peak it brushes for a moment. Belkin quotes an iPhone 16 going from empty to 50 percent in 29 minutes on the magnetic pad. Folded, the stand collapses to roughly 4.2 by 2.4 by 1.1 inches, which is the entire reason to choose it over a fixed nightstand puck: it flattens into a jacket pocket and props the phone at a viewing angle once opened.
One socket charges a phone and AirPods together
The second coil is what earns the 2-in-1 name. A phone sits magnetically on the main pad while AirPods take the smaller surface, so a single wall socket covers both on a nightstand or a hotel desk. The charging area is small and wants reasonably precise placement, with the magnets doing the final alignment once the phone is close. A thick protective case cuts efficiency, which is normal for magnetic charging but worth knowing before ordering.
Soft-touch silicone over recycled plastic
The contact surfaces are soft-touch silicone over a housing Belkin says uses recycled plastic, which in practice means the charger will not scratch a phone back or slide across a nightstand. It ships in white, black and royal blue, carries a two-year warranty, and arrives in an unbranded recycled box that looks more like a return than a retail product. A power supply and cable are in the box, so nothing extra is needed to reach the rated speed.
No Apple Watch puck in the base model
The base configuration charges a phone and a set of earbuds and nothing else. There is no Apple Watch puck, so anyone wanting a single stand for all three Apple devices needs a different Belkin model. Colour choice is limited to three, and the accessory side is a low-wattage pad rather than a second 25-watt output, so higher-draw wearables will charge slowly if they charge at all.

How it compares
Unlike the Belkin BoostCharge Pro, which is more expensive and uses official MagSafe components, the UltraCharge offers a more affordable Qi2 25W solution with a foldable design and magnetic pad for iPhone and AirPods. However, it lacks Apple Watch charging capability, which the BoostCharge Pro includes. Compared to the Zens Magnetic Nightstand Charger, it provides less portability and doesn't support the Apple StandBy mode.
