Build & Use

The stand has a simple but effective design — a weighted circular base with a MagSafe magnetic pad on a support arm. The magnets are strong enough that you can pick up the entire stand by lifting the phone. The 360° rotation makes it easy to share your screen with someone across the table.

“I use this stand at my desk for FaceTime calls and watching videos during lunch. The magnetic hold is incredibly strong — my iPhone 15 Pro Max doesn’t budge even when I tap the screen vigorously. The fixed angle works for my eye level, but I wish I could tilt it up or down slightly.” — JD.com user

FAQ

Q: Will this work with a non-MagSafe phone case? A: The magnets require a MagSafe-compatible case or a metal ring. Without magnetic attachment, the phone isn’t held securely.

Q: Does the 360° rotation work with a charging cable attached? A: Yes, but the cable may snag during full rotation. Best to route the cable to one side and not rotate past 270°.

Q: Can I charge wirelessly through this stand? A: No, this is a simple magnetic stand without wireless charging. If you need charging, buy the UGREEN MagSafe wireless charging stand at ¥89.

Bottom Line: A solid mid-range product that delivers reliable performance at a competitive price. Best suited for everyday users who want good quality without paying a premium for branding. While it may not have flagship features, it covers the essentials well.

In-Depth Comparison with Competitors

To give you a complete picture, we compared this product against the top alternatives available in the same price range. Here’s how they stack up:

vs Premium International Brands

Premium brands typically offer more polished software, wider accessory ecosystems, and better international warranty coverage. However, they often cost 40-60% more for comparable core performance. For most users, the premium markup doesn’t translate to proportionally better daily experience.

vs Other Chinese Brands

Chinese competitors at similar price points offer comparable feature sets. The differentiators tend to be:

• App ecosystem: Some brands have more polished companion apps
• Build materials: Subtle differences in plastic vs metal ratios
• Customer service: Response times and resolution rates vary
• Brand reputation: Established brands offer more peace of mind

Value Verdict

When all factors are considered, this product represents a strong value proposition in its segment. It doesn’t try to be the absolute best at everything, but it delivers a balanced package that covers the essentials well while keeping the price accessible.
