Imagine a world where your smartphone, earbuds, and smartwatch all charge seamlessly on a single, sleek device. That’s exactly what Nomad’s latest upgrade promises—and it’s a game-changer. The Nomad Stand One (Max) has just received a Qi2 upgrade, allowing it to charge Android smartphones magnetically at a blazing-fast 25 watts. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: the larger Stand One Max can simultaneously power your smartphone, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch, making it the ultimate charging hub for tech enthusiasts.
Nomad, known for its premium-quality Qi chargers, has outdone itself with the fourth generation of the Stand One. Crafted almost entirely from glass and aluminum, this charger isn’t just functional—it’s a stylish addition to any desk or nightstand. The Qi2 charging coil ensures compatibility with the latest devices, including the Apple iPhone 17 and other Qi2-enabled smartphones. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about speed; the magnetic hold keeps your phone securely in place, so you can grab it with one hand without worrying about knocking over the charger.
But here’s where it gets controversial: While the Stand One Max is a powerhouse, it requires a 40-watt USB-C power adapter—which isn’t included. Is this an oversight or a strategic move to keep costs down? Let us know what you think in the comments.
The Stand One also includes a secondary 5-watt Qi charging pad, perfect for wireless earbuds like the AirPods Pro. The Max version adds a dedicated charging puck for the Apple Watch, supporting fast charging for newer models while remaining compatible with older ones. The entire setup is designed with durability in mind, featuring a TPU-coated charging pad to prevent scratches on your devices.
Weighing in at 20 oz for the Stand One and 31 oz for the Max, these chargers are heavy enough to stay put, even when you lift your phone with one hand. But here’s the real question: Is the $119 price tag for the Stand One (or $159 for the Max) worth it for the convenience and premium build quality? Or is it a luxury only die-hard tech fans will appreciate?
Available now in silver or black at Nomad’s official online store, the Stand One and Stand One Max are poised to redefine how we charge our devices. But don’t just take our word for it—let’s spark a debate. Are multi-device chargers like these the future, or just a passing trend? Share your thoughts below!
