High-Performance Wireless Charging: Honor SuperCharge Stand (Max 80W) Deep Dive Review

The landscape of mobile charging is evolving rapidly. Gone are the days when a simple 20w usbc charger was the pinnacle of speed. Recently, Honor launched the Honor SuperCharge Wireless Charger Stand (Max 80W), a device that pushes the boundaries of wireless power. Featuring a double-coil design, a premium metal body, and an active stereo cooling system, this stand is designed to deliver an 80W ultra-high-power wireless charging experience.

While many users still rely on a standard cell phone wall charger or a travel-friendly 2 usb port charger, Honor is targeting desktop users who demand speed without the cables. Compared to the previously released 50W version (AP672L), this new model upgrades the power to 80W while retaining the benefits of air cooling and introducing a fresh design language. Let’s dive deep into what makes this charger stand out.

Unboxing and First Impressions

The packaging adopts a minimalist pure white square box design. The front features a rendering of the wireless charger, with the "HONOR" logo and product name clearly printed in the upper left corner. It’s a stark contrast to the cluttered packaging of a generic 3 port charger you might find online. The back of the box highlights the key selling points: 80W fast charging, smart dual coils, metal body, vertical air cooling, and multi-model compatibility.

Upon opening the box, you are greeted with the Honor SuperCharge Wireless Charger Stand (Max 80W), along with a quick start guide and a warranty card. It is important to note that, unlike some bundles, this package does not include the necessary high-power cell phone wall charger adapter required to drive it. You will need a specific 100W adapter to unlock the full 80W potential, as a standard 20w usbc charger simply won't cut it.

Design and Ergonomics: The Art of the Desktop

The Honor SuperCharge Stand features a vertical metal body, combining a matte white finish with a metallic silver base that exudes light luxury. The 65-degree elevation angle is ergonomically designed for daily use. Unlike a flat 2 usb port charger that leaves your phone lying on a table, this stand functions as a viewing dock. Whether you are checking notifications or watching a movie, the angle is perfect.

The bottom of the stand features large heat dissipation vents and silicone anti-slip pads. From the side, the arc line design increases air intake volume while maintaining a graceful aesthetic. This structural integrity is something you rarely see in a cheap cell phone wall charger. The built-in LED indicator on the base provides status updates and flashes quickly if a foreign metal object is detected, ensuring safety throughout the charging process.

Advanced Cooling Technology

One of the biggest challenges with high-speed wireless charging—compared to using a wired 20w usbc charger—is heat. Honor addresses this with a built-in low-noise turbo fan. The design includes a heat dissipation outlet at the bottom and side-cut designs that form a penetrating air channel when the phone is attached.

The fan speed is intelligently regulated based on the charging power and temperature. In our inspection, we could faintly see the built-in turbo fan through the bottom vents. This active cooling is superior to the passive cooling found in a standard 3 port charger or cell phone wall charger, allowing the device to maintain high power for longer periods without throttling.

Input Power Requirements: Choosing the Right Brick

To achieve the maximum 80W output, the input source is critical. The stand utilizes a USB Type-C input interface with a range of 5V-20V⎓6A (Max). During our testing, we used the Honor 100W charger to power the stand.

Input: 100-240V~50/60Hz, 2.5A

Output: 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V5A, 15V5A, 20V5A

If you try to power this stand with a basic 20w usbc charger or a low-wattage 2 usb port charger, you will not achieve the advertised speeds. This is a common misconception; the wireless stand is a conduit, and it requires a powerful engine behind it. While a 3 port charger is great for travel, for this stationary setup, a dedicated high-wattage brick is essential.

Performance Testing: The 80W Experience

We conducted extensive testing using the POWER-Z KM003C tool. When connected to the Honor WIN smartphone, the screen immediately displayed the "80W Super Fast Charge Turbo" animation.

Peak Power: The real-world test showed a voltage of 19.45V and a current of 3.67A, resulting in 73.24W of power.

Horizontal Charging: Thanks to the dual coils, charging in landscape mode yielded a similar result of 72.89W.

This performance vastly outstrips a standard 20w usbc charger and rivals many direct wired connections. It transforms the desk experience, removing the need to fiddle with cables from a cell phone wall charger.

Compatibility with Other Devices

While optimized for Honor, how does it fare with others?

Huawei Mate80 Pro: Achieved roughly 24.45W.

OPPO Find X8 Ultra: Dropped to 13.68W.

iPhone 17 Pro Max: Managed only 9.04W.

Xiaomi 15 Pro: recorded 11.93W.

For non-Honor devices, the stand acts more like a standard Qi charger. In these cases, using a wired 2 usb port charger or a dedicated cell phone wall charger specific to those brands might be faster. However, for Honor users, the integration is seamless.

Charging Curve and Temperature Analysis

We tracked the full charging cycle of the Honor WIN.

Speed: It took 14 minutes to reach 20%, and a full charge took 94 minutes. While the peak power is high, the curve fluctuates to manage heat.

Thermals: This is where the stand beats a wired cell phone wall charger. During the first 30 minutes, the maximum temperature was only 39.6°C. In comparison, wired charging at similar speeds often pushed temperatures to 44.7°C.

Summary

The Honor SuperCharge Wireless Charger Stand (Max 80W) is a masterpiece of charging engineering. It offers a sophisticated alternative to the clutter of a 3 port charger or a basic 20w usbc charger on your desk. Its active cooling system keeps devices safer and cooler than traditional wired methods, and the 73W real-world output is impressive.

For Honor users, this is a must-have upgrade. For others, while it functions as a stand, a brand-specific cell phone wall charger might offer better value. However, the ergonomic design, premium build, and intelligent cooling make it a compelling accessory for any modern workspace.
