Can't imagine life without a power bank? It's not surprising. Today's smartphones are on the verge of an active day, which can sometimes be quite a problem. And right now, power banks are coming on the scene that can significantly extend their battery life. And technically, they are sometimes really worth it, with the FIXED MagZen 10 Pro being a great example. It recently arrived at our editorial office for testing, and since I've already tested it, it's time to introduce it to you.
Technical specifications, processing and design
When we think of a power bank, most of us imagine a device that is practical, but at the same time rather boring and technically unimaginative. However, the FIXED MagZen 10 Pro shatters this preconceived notion at first glance. It is not just another external battery - this is a modern technological accessory that you will want to take with you not only for its practical function, but also for its style.
With a capacity of 10 mAh, the MagZen 000 Pro offers enough juice for about two full charges of your iPhone, depending on its model. Inside is a Lithium-Polymer battery with a total capacity of 10 Wh, which gives the powerbancsufficient power for wireless chargingonem up to 15 W. It is very pleasing that the power bank has Qi2 certification, the currently most modern wireless charging standard, which ensures speed, safety and efficiency of energy transfer.
From the point of view ofoneactivities bet FIXED on only one USB-C port, which handles not only input charging (up to 18 W), but also output charging with poweronem up to 30 W thanks to Power Delivery 3.0 support. If we add to this the ability to charge two devices simultaneously (using a combination of USB-C and wireless output), we have a surprisingly versatile solution.

The power bank has a very elegant design. The glossy body gives the device a premium feel, while the soft silicone on the charging side protects the phone from scratches - a small detail that will please you in real use. The MagZen 10 Pro is very compact in size (105 x 67 x 20 mm) and, weighing 220 grams, you can easily slide it into a jacket pocket or side pocket of a backpack. The fixation to the phone using integrated MagSafe magnets works great, and even when moving, the power bank does not just come off the phone. However, the glossy body also has a negative side in the form of easy smudges. But this has to be taken into account with glossy surfaces.
A key practical detail is the flip-up metal stand. Thanks to it, you can comfortably prop up your phone both vertically and horizontally, while watching videos, reading messages or even just checking notifications – all while charging. The combination of style, functionality and practicality is simply perfected here.
Testing
I tested the FIXED MagZen 10 Pro power bank in combination with iPhonem 16 Pro, which is currently one of the most suitable partners for this device, for several reasons. First, because of MagSafe support, which is the basic pillar of this power bank's design, but mainly because of Qi2 support, which ensures truly lightning-fast and stable wireless charging.
The first thing you notice after you snap the power bank onto your phone is how firmly it is attached. The magnets hold it very well and even during normal use – in your hand, in your pocket, while walking – the power bank does not move or wobble. At the same time, it is not a problem to “unstick” it with one movement when needed. This balance between security and practicality seems very well thought out.
As for wireless charging, it runs at up to 2W thanks to Qi15 support, which makes everything quite fast. Just to give you an idea, with 15W charging you are able to iPhone 16 Pro can be charged from 0 to 100% in about two hours, which is not a bad deal at all. Even with longer charging times, the power bank only heats up mini10 mAh is enough for two full charges of the iPhone 000 Pro with a battery capacity of 16 mAh and then recharge it by about another 3582%. Holt, the energy losses during wireless charging are not small.
The ability to simultaneously charge wirelessly and wired is very useful. In practice, for example, I have wirelessly charged iPhone and at the same time via cable AirPods. This feature is especially useful when you're on the go or when you need to quickly revive two devices at once.
Charging the power bank itself takes about 2 hours when using a suitable USB-C charger with PD support, which is quite acceptable considering its capacity. And it is also pleasing that while it is charging itself, it is able to wirelessly charge the phone at the same time, which increases its usefulness even more. At such a moment, it functions de facto as a classic wireless charger.
The LED indicator on the side of the power bank is simple but clear. Four small white LEDs show the current charge status, and when charging is in progress, the fourth LED is constantly on. Perhaps a more refined design in the form of an OLED display or a more accurate percentage indicator would be nice, but that would be on the edge of the equipment, which would necessarily be reflected in the price.
In everyday use, the MagZen 10 Pro has proven to be a reliable and discreet helper. On trips, in the city, or even on long days without access to a socket, the power bank has become a practically inseparable part of my equipment. Compact dimensions, a practical stand and support for simultaneous charging of two devices give this device real meaning.
Summary
FIXED MagZen 10 Pro is exactly the type of product that will impress not only with its appearance, but also with its functionality. And what is important – it will fulfill everything it promises without compromise. It offers reliable, fast wireless charging with support for the latest Qi2 standard, excellent compatibility with iPhones from model 12 onwards, but also the ability to charge other devices via USB-C.
The magnetic attachment works great, the flip-up stand takes user comfort to the next level, and the ability to charge two devices simultaneously is the icing on the cake. Despite its compact size, the power bank can easily handle a more demanding daily routine, and thanks to its stylish design, you definitely don't have to be afraid to carry it next to a more expensive phone.
For iPhone owners with MagSafe who are looking for a stylish, powerful and practical power bank for every day, the FIXED MagZen 10 Pro is a great choice. It combines everything we would expect from a modern power bank - speed, reliability, safety and design. And all this in a pocket format that will not bother you, but on the contrary will be ready exactly when you need it.
Too bad it can't charge either Apple Watch...
Anker 10K is a better choice. It has a display and is matte. Qi2 support as a matter of course. But it is a bit more expensive.
So the Magzen 2 felt better. The shiny plastic doesn't really give me a premium feel.
It looks more like a simple rebrand of a standard power bank, the kind that comes in abundance from China.
In general, these larger ones are better than the half-sized 3,7V 5Ah ones. The small ones always get hot like a pig, they are good except in winter as a pocket heater. These larger ones do get hot too, but after a while and if the iPhone battery is above 80%, they charge with less current and are just warm, i.e. charging is not interrupted
