Satechi’s 3-in-1 wireless charging pad is now faster

Satechi has announced an updated version of its Trio Wireless Charging Pad that increases the power delivery to smartphones to 15W through an upgraded Qi2 charger. The new Satechi Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad now also supports 5W fast charging for the Apple Watch, including the Series 7, 8, and 9 and both versions of the Ultra.

Made from a mix of aluminum, vegan leather, and soft silicone to prevent devices from getting scratched, the charging pad is available starting today through Satechi’s website for $129.99. That’s $10 more expensive than the original version, but in addition to potentially faster charge times, Satechi has also included some design improvements on the new Trio.

The older Trio charging pad let you angle its Apple Watch charger upward to use the wearable’s nightstand mode, but it positioned all other devices at a slight fixed angle that left smartphones laying basically flat. With the new version of the Trio, the upgraded Qi2 charging puck is attached to an articulated arm that can now elevate a charging smartphone, allowing features like the iPhone’s StandBy mode to be used when it’s positioned horizontally.

The angle of a charging smartphone and Apple Watch can be adjusted, facilitating alarm clock modes.

Although the pad seems best suited for a desk or bedside table, Satechi says it’s also useful for traveling, requiring just a single USB-C cable and its included 45W power adapter. However, the new version of the Trio is a bit thicker than the previous one and a few grams heavier. If you’re looking for a convenient way to charge three devices at once on the road, Anker’s 3-in-1 MagGo Wireless Charging Station is smaller, lighter, and cheaper, while also supporting 15W wireless charging speeds.

Satechi says the charging pad can be used for travel, but there are other more compact multi-device solutions available.
