Since Apple started to be "environmentally friendly", the new phone no longer has a charging head. New users need to spend an extra money to buy it separately, but the official original accessories are not cheap. The 20W USB-C charging head costs 149 yuan, and the 30W charging head costs about 250 yuan. The double-port 35W charging head with slightly more functions even costs 399 yuan to buy, and the price is also very "Apple". Because of this, buying a third-party charging head has become the choice of many users. After the
iPhone 14 series is on sale, the author has also bought two charging heads one after another. One is the Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head recommended by his colleague, and the price is 129 yuan in Tmall.
Another one is the recently popular Aohi Magcube 30W charging head , which is , and the price is 128 yuan on JD.com; the two charging heads of
are very close, and the theoretical maximum charging power is above 30W. For Apple users, preparing such a charging head can satisfy the ability to charge many Apple ecological devices including iPhone, iPad, AirPods and Apple Watch, and the cost-effectiveness is also relatively high, at least much cheaper than official products.
The author checked the label parameters of the two charging heads:
① Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head
output: 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V2.92A, 15V2.33A, 20V1.75A, 3.3-11V3A;
dual port output: 5V3A, 9V2A, 12V1.5A, 15V1.2A, 20V0.9A (18W+18W), 3.3-11V1.6A;
support protocols: QC2.0, QC3.0, PD3.0, PPS, etc.
② Magcube 30W PD fast charging:
output: 5V3A, 9V2.22A, 9V2.77A, 15V2A, 20V1.5A, 3.3-11V3A;
supports protocols: PD2.0, PD3.0, QC2.0, QC3.0, QC4.0+, PPS, Apple 2.4, etc.;
simple look, the paper parameters of the two performances are basically the same, and the main difference is in actual use.
Appearance
From the appearance, the design of the Magcube 30W fast charging head is more pleasing. It is very small in size, about the same as the ordinary 5V1A charging head. You can put it in your hand and take a look, which is about the same size as the thumb. The shape of the
charging head looks square, but the edges and corners are very smooth. There is a micro-carved design on the top. In addition to a C port, there is also an power indicator .
This indicator light will change with the current charging rate of the mobile phone. There are three colors to display. For example, when the mobile phone is being quickly charged, it is in the yellow light state; when the normal charging speed is showing a blue light, and when the micro current state, it is a green light, which means that the mobile phone is about to be fully charged, and users can understand the charging situation of the mobile phone at a glance.
Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head is larger, which is about the same size as the normal PD charging head of about 30W.
Comparison between the two charging heads, the difference is still very obvious.
The weight of the Magcube 30W fast charging head is only 40g, which is very light.
Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head is also significantly heavier, about 87g, which is a little more than twice the Magcube 30W fast charging head.
If you look at it just from the perspective of size, the Magcube 30W fast charging head has more advantages. On the one hand, it is small in size and light in weight, so it will be very convenient to carry out. It can be stuffed directly into the bag without taking up any space; it also does not occupy too much space for other charging devices. When your plug-in hole is limited, you can put it in any space.
Of course, the advantage of the Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head is also obvious, that is, it supports dual-port output, which means you can charge two devices that support PD at the same time. As for my daily experience, the latter is actually more suitable for places at home and office. I can charge my iPhone while charging tablets or other smart devices, and there is no need for an additional fast charging head. It is not a good choice for the "stretched" plug-in space.
In general, the Magcube 30W fast charging head does have the advantage of being small in size, but after all, there is only one C port. In terms of practicality, the Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port has a greater advantage. The Magcube 30W fast charging head is more suitable for carrying out. It is lightweight, small in size and fast charging. Whether it is on business or on a trip, it is enough to have such a charging head.
charging
Use Magcube 30W fast charging head to charge iPhone 14 Pro (about 10% of the battery capacity) to reach about 20W, and the official calibration PD power can run to 30W. With such a small volume, with such a large fast charging power, it can be seen that the energy output density of the charging head itself is still very high.
shows that the Type-C interface supports commonly used fast charging protocols such as SCP, VOOC, and PD, and the protocol coverage is relatively complete. In addition, during use, Aohi Magcube 30W is not moderate in heat control and is basically in a slightly hot state.
Use Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C charging head to charge the iPhone 14 Pro (about 10% battery capacity) to achieve an actual test of about 20W, and this state will continue until the later stage of charging. Both single and dual ports support fast charging, and the official maximum output power can reach 35W. In addition, this charging head uses the PI main control chip of the same factory in Apple, which can support two iPhone fast charging at the same time. In terms of
protocol, the Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head supports QC, PD, SCP, PPS and other protocols, and is very compatible with mobile phones and laptops and charging. In addition, the product itself also supports protection measures such as overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, and short circuit, and its safety is more reliable.
Summary:
Magcube 30W fast charging head has obvious advantages, mainly because the volume is really small, but the power is not low. It is a rare micro-volume high-power charger on the market. It is also compatible with multiple protocols, which can charge different devices and add a very clever lighting design. In terms of overall design, I personally like this charging head very much. The price is a little more expensive. If you can accept this price, it is still recommended.
Sai Xiaohu 35W dual Type-C port charging head also adopts a foldable pin design, which is not bad to carry when going out. In addition, it supports dual-port output, which is indeed more practical than the Magcube 30W fast charging head, and can charge dual devices at the same time.
However, although the maximum power of 35W is calibrated, which is larger than the Magcube 30W fast charging head, if you only consider charging the iPhone 14 series phones, the actual difference is not big. It takes about one hour and 50 minutes to fully charge. In short, these two charging heads have more differences in usage scenarios, and the actual charging speed does not widen the gap in experience.
