A lot of people think wireless charging is a recent innovation, but it’s actually been around for almost two decades. It started in 2009 with the Palm Pre, which had an optional wireless charger called the Touchstone Charger. It didn’t really catch on with the masses, but the idea was there.
Then in 2011, Samsung released the Droid Charge, which featured its first commercial wireless charging pad. But the standard that we now know and love—Qi—first showed up in 2012 with the Nokia Lumia 920 (RIP).
Now, wireless chargers are a dime a dozen in the tech industry. Before, only flagships had this kind of feature, but now almost every phone sold in the last year or so has that capability. However, those that carry the coveted Qi standard are still mostly reserved for upper mid-range to flagship devices.
One of the companies that helped pave the way for the mass adoption of wireless charging is AUKEY, a German company founded in 2005 that later established its brand in 2014. Offering reliable and accessible power solutions that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
Now that we’ve got the history all figured out, let’s turn to the future and look at the next generation of wireless charging powered by AUKEY.
MagFusion 1X: Style, Function, and Affordability
Let’s start with the MagFusion 1X, an elegantly designed wireless charging stand that not only looks good but also functions well. As the name suggests, the MagFusion 1X only charges a single device. It’s Qi2.2 certified and can deliver a maximum of 25W.
Whether you buy one for your nightstand or for your desk in the office, the MagFusion 1X blends in nicely with any environment it’s placed in. It’s available in three tasteful colors: Grey, Pink, and Gold.
I know what you’re thinking: won’t it fall with the weight of the smartphone attached to it? It might if you’re using other phone stands—but not this one. The MagFusion 1X sticks to the surface it’s placed on thanks to a strong vacuum suction cup at the base.
Plus, the strong magnetic alignment ensures that your device stays securely in place. The magnet itself can also be adjusted with a 35° viewing angle, convenient for hands-free use while charging.
With a price of just $28.99 (around PHP 1,500), the MagFusion 1X provides an affordable entry point into the world of high-speed wireless charging.
MagFusion 2X: Double the Power, Double the Fun
But what if you need more? Well, Aukey’s got you covered. With the MagFusion 2X, you’ll have two built-in Qi2.2 certified charging modules that you can use simultaneously, both capable of outputting up to 25W each.
Want to charge your personal and work phone? Done. How about your phone and wireless earbuds? No problemo! Just chuck them together on the platform and voila—you’ll have an untethered charging experience that’s ready to grab and go when you need it.
Design-wise, you’ll still have the same versatile design with powerful magnets, but this time it comes with an additional flat base. This allows you to charge one device flat on the base while the other hangs from the adjustable magnetic stand.
The MagFusion 2X is available for pre-order for just $69.99 (around PHP 4,000). Yes, it’s double the price of the 1X but you’re also getting double the capability.
Final Thoughts
With the MagFusion 1X and 2X, Aukey shows that wireless charging doesn’t have to be complicated or overpriced. Whether you just need a sleek stand for a single device or a dual setup for all your gear, these chargers strike a balance of style, performance, and affordability—making the wireless future more accessible than ever.”
