Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W review
Although the cute faces of the Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W may not be to everyone’s taste, if you’re looking for a fast-charging MagSafe power bank with character, this charger was made for you.
The Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W has a list price of $69.99 / £64.99 on the official Ugreen website, but this price is often cut due to regular deals. I have been advised that Ugreen is due to launch this charger in Australia around the beginning of 2025 at a list price of AU$89.99. The Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W can also be purchased at Amazon US but at present, only the 5000mAh version is available at Amazon UK.
Neither super compact nor over-sized, the Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W measures 3 x 0.9 x 4.3 inches / 75 x 23 x 109mm and weighs 8.1oz / 230g, which is pretty average for the best power banks. The surface of the MagSafe charging area appears to be soft-touch silicone, and the rest of the casing is metallic plastic, bar the TFT screen, which stands slightly proud from the back panel of the charger. There’s a metal effect stand over the top of the charger which attaches to either side. This stand works well, but I found the marketing photos misleading, as I couldn’t angle the Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W to show the display screen when my phone was in situ.
The various emoji faces that appear on the TFT smart display communicate the level of battery left in the power bank; for example, it shows heart eyes when it’s at full power, and pulls a somewhat dismayed face when the power is below twenty percent. I feel I must tell you these faces aren’t displayed all the time, and I was a little disappointed by the frequency at which they appear. If you’re not a fan of this novelty display, you’ll be happy to know that the display can be turned off simply by pressing the side button.
I was pleasantly surprised by the charging speed when juicing up an iPhone 13 Pro from 0% – 100%, as the Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W took just under two hours to do this, making it the fasted MagSafe power bank I’ve tested to date. I found that my phone got a little toasty on a couple of occasions, but nothing too drastic. There were also a few instances when my phone hadn’t actually started to charge; I found that I either needed to click the power button again or remove and replace my phone. But, for the most part, there weren’t any issues.
This may be down to personal taste, but the combination of fast charging speeds and the novelty of the emoji status symbols make the Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W a worthy candidate to feature in our selection of the best wireless chargers or the best iPhone chargers, in my humble opinion. If this MagSafe power bank isn’t singing your tune, then it’s worth taking a look at the aforementioned guides, as you may well spot something better suited.
