It’s great to have pockets full of phones and cool gadgets, but aren’t you tired of worrying they’ll run out of battery life? And don’t you dread the hassle of figuring out cables and wall sockets? Make it easy on yourself with this Black Friday deal for $50 off the Noco XGrid XDS3 charging stand, which can juice up three devices at once. And with Black Friday deals already starting to wind down, now’s the time to strike.

The Noco XGrid lives up to its name, with two charging pads at the top of an X-shape that can separately charge a phone at a Qi2-certified 15 watts and a smartwatch at 5 watts (both holding devices in place with magnets). The base of the stand has a third 5-watt charger, which is suitable for another phone or other Qi-certified wireless device, like an earbuds case.

Let’s be honest: These are not fast charging speeds, especially compared to the 50-watt wireless charging that phones like the OnePlus 15 support. But they don’t need to be. The stand is perfect for a bedside table to prop up a phone and watch to show the time while they charge overnight. The phone charger is MagSafe compatible for modern iPhones, but it should work just fine with other devices that also conveniently use circular magnets to lock a wireless charger into place, like the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, also on sale this Black Friday.

Why this deal matters

Wireless charging is pretty convenient in the right circumstances, so we’re big fans of chargers that make our lives easier. Most of the time, this is in the home or at the office — places where we spend a long time sitting, and dropping a phone or gadget on a wireless charger is less of a hassle than fiddling with cords. The Noco XGrid XDS3 has a neat design that’s not only functional but also stylish enough to look nice on a desk.
