Best Magnetic Phone Charging Cables in the UK

The TOPK AM68 is a sizable package that covers most users' needs. The package features 5 magnetic charging cables, including a 0.5-metre one, a 1-metre cable, two 2-metre cables, and one 3-metre model. You can leave one at work, use one whilst driving, and juggle between the rest when they're more convenient than the others. The cables include USB-C, Micro USB, and Lightning connectors (4 sets), so you can recharge most gadgets, including Android tablets, phones, and Apple products.

But the best part is that the two 2-metre cables and the 3-metre one adopt an L-shaped design, which means that, with these cables, you can recharge the phone and use it at the same time without the cable getting in the way. Apart from that, this is the same package that most magnetic phone charging cables contain. The nylon braiding on these cables is nothing to sneeze at, with 10,000+ bending tests passed. The 360-degree rotating heads will prevent the cable from tangling up and let you insert it without rotating the phone/tablet.

The USB Type-A connectors are a bit tight. Besides that, the TOPK AM68 will fit most needs, from cars to phones at home on the bedside table to laptops at work. Also, as always, they support the QC 2.0 tech.

The NetDot 10G3IN1 is not very different from the previous kit. First things first, the kit supplies you with 4 magnetic charging cables: 0.3 metres, 1 metre, 1.5 metres, and 2 metres. We're not necessarily crazy about the 0.3-metre cable but some might like it.

What we're somewhat crazy about is the high-performance copper wires on these things. Incorporating high-quality shielding, the wires keep the connection stable even with multiple electromagnetic interference sources surrounding them. To add more, the cables come equipped with extra-strength magnets, so you can suspend the phone on it without worrying that the magnet may give up and drop the precious smart gadget.

Where things get a little dicey is with the LED indicators. As far as we're concerned, they're too bright, meaning that some users might find them a little distracting at night.

However, there's nothing distracting about the 4 sets of USB-C, Micro USB, and Lightning connectors that arrive with the package, making sure that you can use these cables with most modern-day devices, including Apple products. Taking everything above, as well as the cables' high speed (480 Mbps) into account, the NetDot 10G3IN1 is the magnetic charging cable kit you don't want to miss.

The RAVIAD RI-083-SI is not the complete set that the two preceding kits were. No, with this set, you receive two 2-metre magnetic charging cables and two USB Type-C connectors, which means that Apple users will not be able to benefit from this kit. On the plus side, the compact aluminium shell and the ergonomic USB-C connectors will fit even the thickest, chunkiest phone cases, letting you recharge your phone without removing the case first. What's more, unlike previous cables, the ones that come with this lot support the QC 3.0 tech, so you'll be recharging the devices that support the third Quick Charge instalment in a snap.

Having said that, the cables are not quite as fast as advertised. As per usual, they should be able to reach 480 Mbps throughput but, more often than not, they cap at around 400-450 Mbps. Somewhat offsetting this little issue is the blue LED indicators on the cables' heads that are noticeable in the dark but not excessively bright. Likewise, the 360-degree rotating heads will make sure the cables do not tangle up and that you can insert 'em without turning your phone.

Bottom line, unless you like apples, you should not regret going with these magnetic charging cables.

The RAVIAD RI-032-BK is a bit more egalitarian than the kit from the same company that we've reviewed before. With this kit, you're offered one magnetic charging cable, not two. But, on the upside, the kit also includes USB-C, Micro USB, and Lightning connectors (one each), so you can use this cable with iPhones, iPads, AirPods, MacBooks, and those devices that work with Micro USB ports as well. Of course, with the USB-C interface, you'll also be able to recharge most Android devices. Needless to say, the fact that this set includes only one cable is not a problem since you can always buy multiple sets.

What is a problem is that the magnets on these cables are always a tad weak, meaning that we would not recommend suspending expensive devices on them. The good news is that the connectors that are shipped with the cable also double as tight plugs, protecting the phone from the elements whilst charging. The same (more or less) can be said about the beefy nylon braiding on the cable, protecting the wires and handling friction/abrasion with relative ease. So, assuming you don't mind going with multiple orders or don't need more than one cable, the RAVIAD RI-032-BK will prove right up your alley.

The NIMASO DSCCMa22 makes quite an impression. Initially, the set does not include 0.5-metre or 3-metre cables because, truth be told, most users don't need those. Instead, this kit packs two magnetic charging cables (2 metres each) and two USB Type-C connectors. As you know, that means these connectors will not work with Apple products but will have no problems with Android devices.

The most interesting (and impressive) thing about these cables is that they support the latest Quick Charge protocol. Sure, there are very few phones today that support QC 4.0 but they're growing in numbers, making these cables future-proof. Of course, supporting QC 4.0 also means that the cable's maximum data throughput reaches 480 Mbps since, otherwise, what would even be the point?

Setting aside the QC 4.0 support, they're pretty much the same magnetic phone charging cables that you've seen countless times before. The nylon braiding on them is plenty durable, and the 180-degree rotating heads more or less suffice. A nice little detail is that, ditching the usual extra-bright LED indicators, these cables come with this small but noticeable blue strip that will not make you feel uncomfortable at night but will provide sufficient illumination, making this kit's case even more convincing.
