Baseus is one of the popular Chinese accessory brands. The company sells a wide variant of products like chargers, power banks, cases, cables, earphones, and more. It has quietly launched a new product called Baseus MagSafe Charger with model number BS-W517. The charger is made of aluminum alloy and tempered glass. Further, it measures 93 x 93 x 6.2mm in dimensions and comes in three colors – Black, Gold, and Transparent. In other words, it is larger than the official Apple MagSafe charger but sports a striking design.
For input. the charger features a USB
Type-C and ships with a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, manual, and warranty
card. The charger also comes with a green-colored LED indicator. This light
will glow brightly when the charger is in an idle state, whereas it will blink
when in use. Additionally, it also turns on half when any external object is
detected.
Talking about charging speeds, the Baseus
charger offers the maximum 15W threshold for iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and
iPhone 12 Pro Max. It also supports slower speeds such as 12W for iPhone 12
Mini along with 10W, 7.5W 5W, and 2.5W charging modes. As for input, the
charger supports up to 24W and is compatible with USB PD (Power Delivery) as
well as Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.
Last but not least, since the product uses
the Qi wireless charging standard, it can be used to charge literally any
compatible smartphone and accessory available in the market. The Baseus MagSafe
Charger costs only ¥ 109 (US$ 17) but unfortunately, it is only available in China
for the time being. Hopefully, it makes its way to other markets as the
official Apple MagSafe Charger is priced at US$ 39.
