Recently, my iPhone X, which my wife had been using for more than three years, was finally smashed by my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Both the front and rear screens were PK, the rear screen was broken, the front screen was broken, and green color blocks and horizontal lines appeared next to the screen. When I got it to the repair shop, I said it was a so-called "original screen", and the front and rear screens cost a total of 880 yuan. After thinking about it again and again, it would be better to buy a new machine directly. So I bought the iPhone 12. But Apple is really stingy now. I endure it without headphones. It doesn’t have an original charger, and the original data cable is still Type-C to Lightning. In order to be worthy of the new iPhone 12, I decided to buy a new Type-C interface charger. Finally, I chose the AOHIMagcube 30W charger that many people recommend on Zhihu recently.
Below is the iPhone X that was broken by the front and rear screens by the invincible little cutie. Repairing is too unprofitable, so I can only wait and change the new machine.
★Unbox
Because I usually use the charger that comes with various devices, I have no idea about the charger and I don’t have time to study it. After reading articles from several big guys online, I decided to buy the AOHI Magcube 30W charger. There are three main reasons for buying:
. The first is that AOHI is a self-operated smart brand under Aohai Technology. This listed company is the core manufacturer of many international brand mobile phone original chargers. Magcube 30W uses chips from Power Integrations, the company is a supplier of Apple's original chargers, so the quality is more guaranteed;
The second is because of its small size, which makes it easy to carry when going out;
The third is because of its large power, the nominal power is 30W. It is said that the maximum can reach 33W. If you go on a business trip, you can basically bring such a small thing to meet the needs of mobile phones, tablets, and power banks at the same time.
Let’s unbox first. The AOHI Magcube 30W charger is available. There is only a charger, warranty card, and instructions in the packaging box, and no charging cable is included. The charger has a measurement of 28×28×32mm, which is basically as big as the original Apple 5V/1A charger, and weighs only 42g. This volume and weight are the smallest among all 20-30W power chargers on the market. After-sales service, it provides an 18-month warranty service.
The main reason why AOHI Magcube 30W charger can provide high power in small volume is that it uses gallium nitride technology, and can support the new generation of gallium nitride GaN+ fast charging technology. It supports multiple protocols such as PD2.0, PD3.0, QC2.0, QC3.0, QC4.0+, PPS, Apple 2.4, BC1.2, etc., and can intelligently match the fast charging functions of various digital products. No matter whether you are using an Android phone, iPhone, iPad, switch or laptop, Magcube 30W can generally provide matching fast charging power. Although I don’t have much requirements for the appearance of the charger, I still want to like the appearance design of the Magcube 30W.
Pure black cube shape, matte shell, dirt-resistant, drop-resistant and wear-resistant. The edges around are chamfered on both sides, square and round. The outward side of the charger adopts three-dimensional micro-carving technology, and the diamond-textured mesh feels very good. The Type-C interface is designed with a three-dimensional silver decoration ring, which looks a bit unique when paired with the yellow inner tongue. Users who are tired of the black, red and blue USB interfaces may feel that it fits the eye.
Above the Type-C interface is an LED status indicator, which is used to display three different charging states of 3-stage safe fast charging: the indicator light is fast charging state when the indicator light is yellow, the indicator light is normal charging state when the indicator light is blue, and the indicator light is green, the indicator light is micro current charging state. The LED indicator light has also been treated with a matte surface, with moderate brightness and even light, and will not be dazzling in the dark.

In comparison, compared with Apple's original 5V/1A charger, the AOHI Magcube 30W charger is similar in size, but its appearance is much stronger.
Compared with Apple's 5V/1A charger, it may not be possible to see how small the AOHI Magcube 30W is. Then compare it with lipstick, which is more intuitive. It saves more space than lipstick in a girl's clutch. It is indeed a travel artifact.
★Practical
From the nominal parameters of the AOHIMagcube 30W charger, the input voltage range of this charger is 100-240V, covering the voltage standards of all countries, so it is definitely available even if it is taken to travel around the world. The output parameters are: 5V-3A\9V-2.22A\9V-2.77A\15V-2A\20V-1.5A. In order to roughly try the performance of this charger, I used several mobile phones and tablets at home to try AOHI Magcube 30W, and tested whether the parameters during charging were within the normal range.
The first mobile phone tested was the new iPhone 12, and the compared charger was Apple's 20W fast charging. Both chargers can successfully shake the PD fast charging protocol on the iPhone 12 and enable 20W fast charging, the voltage and current are basically the same, and the full charge time is about a little over 100 minutes. The second phone is the vivoiQOO Pro 5G that I have used for more than a year. This phone comes with 44W fast charging, and the default power is larger than the AOHI Magcube 30W. When using the original 44W fast charging, the charging protocol is vivo's own vivo FlashCharge. Although the FlashCharge protocol cannot be shaken by using AOHI Magcube 30W, it can still shake hands with the PD fast charging protocol and enable 18W fast charging. You can fully charge the iQOO Pro 5G in less than two hours. The third one is the Honor 20 Youth Edition. The handshake protocol is SCP when using the Honor 20W fast charging charger. The handshake protocol can also be used when using the AOHI Magcube 30W. Both 20W fast charging is enabled, and the battery charge time will take about 60-70 minutes.
According to the power of current mainstream mobile phones and tablets, it is difficult to make the AOHI Magcube 30W charger fully loaded with an actual output of 30W. So I tried high-power laptops and power banks. These two devices have a relatively large appetite, which can make the actual output voltage of the AOHI Magcube 30W charger reach 20V, the output current is 1.5A, and the output power reaches 30W.
When charging multiple devices at the same time using a one-point multi-head charging cable, the actual power of AOHI Magcube 30W can also be made to exceed the nominal maximum power of 30W. After 40 minutes of full load operation, the maximum temperature of the charger surface is 52°C and the room temperature is 28°C. It can be seen that the AOHI Magcube 30W has a relatively small heat generation.
When there is no charging device, vivo's 44W fast charging charger input power is about 0.12W, and the input power of AOHI Magcube 30W is almost 0, which is very environmentally friendly.
Summary:
★ Advantages and disadvantages of AOHI Magcube 30W charger:
1. Advantages
1. Small size, light weight, only as large as Apple's 5V/1A charger, weight only 42g, it is very convenient to carry when going out;
2. Large power, nominal power 30W, and the supported voltage input range is 100-240V, covering all countries' voltage standards. If you take one on a business trip or travel, you can meet the charging needs of mobile phones, tablets, power banks, and micro-selectronics at the same time.
3. Good compatibility, you can shake hands on almost all devices to perform fast charging smoothly.
2. Disadvantages
So far I have not found any obvious shortcomings, but the lack of Type-C to Type-A adapter is not user-friendly. After all, the charging cables that are randomly included in many devices are mainly Type-A interfaces.
★Purchase recommendations
Although the actual price of AOHI Magcube 30W charger is a bit expensive, it is a good deal for you after all, and I am more satisfied with the performance, size, compatibility and appearance. Among the current mainstream chargers, this one should be considered the most balanced design. Especially suitable for those who have certain power requirements and want the charger to be small and easy to carry, Magcube 30W is the best choice. The test can successfully turn on the fast charging function on multiple devices. For users who need 65W or even greater power, they cannot currently demand that the size of the charger can be small and exquisite, so they can only choose those giant products.
