Anker's MagStand Charging Station is a magnetic Qi 2.2 wireless charging stand with a built-in display and a retractable 60W fast-charging cable. The dock supports up to 25W wireless charging for compatible phones, can also run in wired mode, and was unveiled at IFA 2026.
The hardware includes a USB-C port rated for up to 30W output, along with the integrated cable, allowing the station to power up to three devices at once. The MagStand has an active cooler that keeps a smartphone near 37°C while wirelessly charging and a display that shows charging information and appears to detect the connected device. Anker has not specified per-port outputs when all ports are used.
For users the MagStand combines magnetic alignment, a visible charge readout and a retractable high-power cable into one desk-friendly piece. The cooler aims to protect battery health during fast wireless charging, and the €99.99 EU price and mid-October pre-order window give shoppers a clear buying timeframe.
