Sharge Icemag 3: Retro Powerbank with Qi 2.2

Sharge continues to blend retro aesthetics with technical innovation in its mobile accessories. Its new power‑bank, the Icemag 3, visually echoes Sony’s compact Cybershot T‑series DSLR line, a similarity that extends beyond form to the device’s stance and functional details.

The Icemag 3 is built from aluminum, giving a premium feel and added durability. A large metal panel on the front recalls old lens‑cover flaps but serves a dual purpose: it folds out into a stand, allowing the unit to function as a desk‑mounted charger as well as a portable power source.

Inside a 10 000 mAh battery delivers up to 25 W of wireless power via the Qi 2.2 standard, fully compatible with MagSafe‑enabled devices. A 35 W USB‑C cable is integrated into the fabric‑shrouded hanging strap, and an additional USB‑C port on the side lets users charge headphones or another device simultaneously. These features make the Icemag 3 a hybrid solution for both mobile lifestyles and fixed office setups.

Compared to earlier models, the Icemag 3 brings significant upgrades. The first‑generation Icemag offered only 7.5 W of wireless charging, the second raised it to 15 W, and neither included a stand or integrated cable. The new version eliminates those shortcomings and relocates the charging port from the bottom to the side, simplifying desk use.

A notable addition is an active cooling fan. Inside a compartment that resembles a glowing eye, a 10 000 rpm fan keeps the compact electronics from overheating—a common issue during prolonged wireless charging. While the fan’s noise may irritate some users, it is deemed essential for maintaining stable performance.

RGB lighting enhances the unit’s visual appeal, especially in desk‑mounted mode, while the hidden USB‑C cable remains unobtrusive. The fan’s quiet operation, the stand’s ergonomic posture, and the side‑mounted ports together create a versatile charging experience.

The Qi 2.2 standard’s speed varies by device: the Pixel 10 Pro XL supports 25 W, many other models in the same line are limited to 15 W, and certain iPhone 16 variants have received iOS 26 updates for 25 W support. Despite these variations, the Icemag 3 remains backward‑compatible with older devices.

Sharge will launch the Icemag 3 on its website on 13 November 2025 with a retail price of roughly US$70. By December, the price is expected to rise to about US$80.
