With the clocks back, the desk and bedside are in use under lamplight again, and the phone, watch and earbuds each still want their own cable and socket. The aim here is fewer cables, not more gadgets. We have not tested any of these products, so what follows is drawn from the product information alone.
The picks
Desk
The problem: several devices compete for one small patch of desk. The 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger, 15W is described as powering an iPhone, AirPods and an Apple Watch at once 1.
Who it suits: anyone with that Apple trio who wants a tidy spot to leave them. It has a built-in foldable stand for hands-free viewing 1. It measures about 62 × 62 × 10 mm 1. It costs £15.99 2.
Limitation: the speeds differ by device, at up to 15W for the phone, 5W for headphones and 2.5W for Apple Watch 1. Magnetic alignment is listed for iPhone 1.
Bedside
The problem: a bedside table that holds a charger, a clock and a night light. The 15W Wireless Charging Station with Night Light and Alarm Clock combines a 15W wireless phone charger, a night light, a clock, an alarm and a thermometer 3.
Who it suits: people who want one object by the bed. It works with Apple, Samsung and Huawei phones 3. It has two alarm times, and the clock keeps its settings through a power cut 3. It costs £24.99 4.
Limitation: it is described as a wireless phone charger with extras, and the product information does not mention charging earbuds or a watch 3. Those would need another solution.
Wall socket
The problem: a crowd of plug adapters at the desk. The 65W GaN Power Strip with USB-C and USB-A, UK Plug is a desktop power strip that charges a laptop and a phone together, with up to six devices at once 5.
Who it suits: anyone running a laptop and several smaller devices from one socket. It has USB-C and USB-A ports, a 1.5 m cable and a UK plug 5. It costs £41.49 6.
Limitation: the figure is a 65W maximum output, with intelligent power distribution across devices 5. Each device on a full strip should therefore not be expected to receive that maximum.
Where one makes another unnecessary
The bedside station and the desk charger both charge a phone wirelessly at up to 15W 31. Someone with only a bedside need can skip the desk charger, and someone who wants a clock and alarm by the bed will find the station does more there 3. The power strip does a different job, supplying the sockets, so it complements the others rather than replacing them 5.
Suggested setups
- The tidy desk: the desk charger for phone, earbuds and watch 1, with the power strip supplying a laptop and phone from one socket 5.
- The calm bedside: the charging station alone, which brings charger, clock, alarm and night light into one unit 3.
