If you are using iPhone, Apple Watch a AirPods, you will quickly discover one unpleasant thing. Whether you are going away for the weekend, on vacation or just on a business trip, cables, adapters and various chargers start to pile up in your bag. That is exactly why I have long loved 3-in-1 wireless charging stations, which can solve this problem for you. The catch, however, is that most of them have one major problem. They are big, heavy and not very suitable for traveling.
That's why I was interested in the new Epico UltraBase Qi2 25W 3in1 Fold, which I recently received for testing. At first glance, it looks like a product that was created specifically for users Applu who want to stay organized on the go and don't want to give up fast charging. And after a few weeks of use, I have to say that it does it surprisingly well.
Technical specifications, processing and design
Right out of the box, I was pleased to see that Epico didn't skimp on materials. The construction is made of zinc alloy, which makes it feel more premium than most plastic competitors. The charger has a nice weight, nothing creaks anywhere, and the entire folding mechanism feels very sturdy. Exactly how a product that you'll be constantly folding and unfolding should look.
The folding structure itself is a big advantage. When folded, it takes up miniIt takes up very little space and fits easily into a pocket of a backpack, bag or carry-on luggage. When unfolded, it becomes a full-fledged charging station for three devices at the same time. The phone is attached to the top using magnets, Apple Watch they have their own charging module and there is space on the bottom surface for AirPods or other compatible headphones.
The packaging also deserves praise. The manufacturer includes not only a 45W USB-C adapter, but also a 60W USB-C cable and a protective travel case, which is a detail that is unfortunately not a given these days. Many manufacturers sell the charger itself and you have to buy the rest. Here you really get everything you need right out of the box.

Testing
The first thing I appreciated was the support for the Qi2 25W standard. So if you own a compatible device (specifically iPhone 16 and later), you get significantly faster wireless charging than with older generations of chargers. In practice, this means that iPhone It doesn't have to lie on the stand for half a day to reach usable battery capacity. iPhone I was able to charge the 17 Pro from 0 to 50% in about 25 minutes, which I think is a very solid result.
As for the magnetic mount, it works really well, unsurprisingly. The phone is held firmly in place and I didn't feel like it would fall off even when tapping the display or using StandBy mode. And StandBy is one of the biggest advantages of this charger in my opinion. Thanks to the ability to place the phone in portrait or landscape orientation without any problems, it instantly becomes an elegant bedside table with a clock, widgety or notifications. So if you use StandBy regularly like me, you will enjoy this option every day.

I was also pleased with the charging Apple Watch exonem to 5 W. While this may not sound like a major difference on paper, with newer models including Apple Watch Ultra or newer generations of classic Apple Watch you can tell that the watch is charging faster. You can often just put the watch on the charger during a shower or price and you're ready for the next day. And because there's also a charging pad for AirPods, you have a comprehensive charging solution at your disposal.
In terms of workmanship, the silicone base is also very practical. It may sound like a small thing, but it is thanks to it that the station stays firmly in place and does not slide around on the table every time you take your phone off. It is precisely these small details that distinguish a well-designed product from the average.
During the testing, I came across perhaps only one thing that I would like to mention. The metal construction feels luxurious, but it is also a bit heavier than some plastic alternatives. On the other hand, it makes the station feel more stable and premium, so in the end I see it as a feature rather than a disadvantage. I also really like the fact that thanks to the joint systems, you can easily fold the charger, but also position it in different ways to suit you.
