Hands-on: I can’t wait to charge my Pixel 10 with Aukey’s clever Qi2 spheres

Wireless chargers come in all shapes and forms nowadays, but it was Aukey that caught my attention at IFA 2025 with the first truly clever and unique option in its new “MagFusion Ark” which has Qi2 charging spheres in a 6-in-1 layout that I cannot wait to use with my Pixel 10.

To recap our coverage from earlier this week, the Aukey MagFusion Ark is a 6-in-1 wireless charger that consists of a dock with three magnetic charging points, then up to three little wireless charging, battery-filled spheres that you actually charge your phone with. Aukey angles this as “true” Qi2 wireless charging because, thanks to the 6,700 mAh batteries in each sphere, you can just pick up the sphere and charge your phone anywhere.

It’s a compelling pitch, and one that I was fully sold on in person.

At IFA 2025 this week, I had a couple of opportunities to check out the Ark, and there are a couple of details I picked up on.

Firstly, there’s the physical size of the whole thing. This is very far from a small wireless charger, taking up a lot of space on a table. But you’re certainly getting a lot for that footprint. The spheres themselves are premium feeling with a little bit of heft from the battery, but the base has much more weight for the sake of removal of both the chargers and your devices. It took very little effort to pull the spheres off of the main dock, and aligning my phone in its place was a breeze too.

But it’s also clear that this thing runs hot, a trend I’ve noticed among a lot of Qi2 25W accessories. Qi already runs warm in general, but Aukey’s charger runs hot between the base and each of the spheres. The phone side is kept cool by active cooling fans, which is an important thing I’ll be looking for in 25W chargers.

Those spheres also have another clever usability trick, and that’s a posable charging ring. The black portion that actually holds the magnets to connect with your device will adjust by a few degrees in either direction to accomodate for your phone. That’s great because the short stature of the sphere meant that my Pixel 10 Pro XL barely fit, but the angle adjustment meant that the magnets could still hold strongly in place.

Beyond that, the spheres have a USB-C port that supports both charging input and output, meaning you could use each one as a dedicated wireless charging stand while plugged into power, or bring it on the go to act as both a wireless charger and a power bank.

It’s all very well thought out.

Aukey hasn’t detailed how much the Ark will cost, but I’m pretty convinced in this form factor. It’s clever and useful, and something I can’t wait to use with my Pixel 10.

Notably, Aukey had a ton of other Qi2 accessories on display at IFA, including battery banks, other kinds of charging docks, and more. While many other brands are all-in on multi-device chargers that include an Apple Watch dock, I quite liked that Aukey had plenty of options without one, which is good for Pixel 10 owners. The company’s full catalog is available at its website.
