MagSafe Duo Charger VS Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Docking Station: Features, Differences & Price

We have more and more mobile devices that need to be charged daily (or almost daily), which can lead to a big mess of cables and chargers on the bedside table. However, the solution is quite simple – and elegant – with the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Dock or Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger. We put the two accessories face to face to know their characteristics.

Features MagSafe Duo and Belkin BoostCharge Pro Dock

• Design: The MagSafe Duo is a light and compact double charger whose strong point is that it is foldable. Can be folded in half when not in use for easy transport, making it ideal to carry in your suitcase while traveling or in your everyday backpack. In other words, it’s versatile. The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Dock looks like a rigid block almost 25cm long, which makes it less comfortable to carry, although it is possible to store it in your backpack.
• concurrent devices: The compact size of the MagSafe Duo “plays” against it against Belkin’s Belkin BoostCharge Pro, since it can “only” charge two devices at a time, an iPhone and Apple Watch or Apple Watch and AirPods MagSafe/Qi. With Belkin’s proposal, these three devices can be charged at the same time.
• maximum charging power: Apple recommends using a 27W power adapter if you want to charge at 14W. Belkin claims its 3-in-1 docking station can reach a power up to 15W. They are very similar in this regard.
• Apple watch fast charging: Since the Apple Watch Series 7, Apple has integrated fast charging into its most complete “smart” watches, which allows it to go from 0 to 80% in 45 minutes (in the Ultra model it takes about an hour). With the MagSafe Duo you can’t fast charge, but with the Belkin Dock you can.
• Price: The cost of these accessories is very similar, with Apple being slightly more expensive (the one from Belkin costs 149.99 dollars, and the MagSafe Duo is officially 159.99 dollars).

MagSafe Duo VS Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1, which one to buy?

The MagSafe Duo is a very interesting accessory to carry daily in a backpack or bag because it takes up little space when folded. In this way, the iPhone, Apple Watch or AirPods can be easily recharged anywhere (provided you have a socket at hand and the corresponding wall adapter).

If not meant to be carried, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Docking Station with MagSafe It is a very suitable option to have at home, on the desk or the bedside table.. It has a good design, so it also looks nice decorative when not in use. And having one does not exclude the possibility of having the other, since each can be useful in different situations.
