Sharge has a history of making unique charging accessories, and I still use the Icemag and Shargeek 170 power banks regularly. With the Icemag 3, the brand is refining the design and delivering Qi 2.2 charging at 25W. I now have a half-dozen Qi 2.2 power banks, including the UGREEN MagFlow, Baseus’s standout PicoGo power banks, and a slate of smaller brands that are getting started in this category.
True to Sharge’s design-focused fundamentals, the Icemag 3 stands out quite a bit. It is thicker than Baseus’s 10,000mAh power banks by quite a bit, but the upside is that you get plenty of useful additions. Like its predecessor, there’s a see-through panel on the Icemag 3, and this is where the cooling fan is housed.

Now, the fan didn’t do too much on the Icemag 2, but it holds up much better on this model. It ensures the power bank doesn’t heat up too much, and I didn’t see any problems with thermals while using the Icemag 3 with my Pixel 10 Pro XL and iPhone 17 Pro. The fan makes a big difference in usability, and it gives the Icemag 3 an edge over other Qi 2.2 power banks. And coming in at $67 on Amazon, it doesn’t cost much more than its rivals.

Another feature I like is the built-in foldable kickstand; it allows you to use your phone while it’s charging, and the metal stand has a good range of adjustability. At the other side, the magnets attach securely to the device, and as long as you have a magnetic case, you won’t have any problems using the Icemag 3.

Oh, and there’s RGB lighting around the fan. I like it quite a bit as I tend to go overboard with RGB lighting, but if you don’t want your power bank getting quite as much attention, you can disable the lighting by pressing and holding down on the power button.
The 10,000mAh battery on the Icemag 3 is more than adequate to charge the Pixel 10 Pro XL or the iPhone 17 Pro without any issues, and charging efficiency is on par with other Qi 2.2 power banks I tested recently. Note that just because you get a 10,000mAh battery, it doesn’t mean you’ll be able to use all of that — in real-world use, you get around 5,500mAh to 5,700mAh of usable charge before you need to charge the battery, and that’s standard with all power banks; it’s just how charging works.

Technically, you can use the Icemag 3 to charge three devices at once: there’s the Qi 2.2 pad, a USB-C port on the side, and you get a USB-C cable attached to the power bank. I used the cable to charge accessories, and it did a decent enough job. With the total power budget of the Icemag 3 at 35W, you won’t be able to charge several phones with it, but if you want to simultaneously charge your earbuds alongside your phone, that’s possible.
The Icemag 3 is sold in white and black variants, and I think the white model looks much better. That’s if you want a power bank that turns heads; otherwise, the black model is much more subtle. On the whole, I’ve enjoyed using the Icemag 3, and it is going straight into my travel bag as the go-to Qi 2.2 charger while I’m on the go.
The Icemag 3 has a unique design, active cooling, and is easy to take anywhere. As Qi 2.2 chargers go, this is one of the best around.
