Acer wireless charging station S5

What to know

A nightstand or desk can turn into a tangle of phone, watch, and earbud cables. The Acer S5 wireless charging station brings several charging spots together with a built-in night light.

Its main magnetic stand delivers up to 25W of wireless charging for compatible devices and holds a phone upright, with an adjustable viewing angle. A second wireless pad can charge another compatible phone or wireless earbuds, while a dedicated area is listed for Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch.

There are wired options, too: a retractable USB-C cable rated up to 20W and a separate USB-C output. The light has cool white, warm yellow, and warm white settings, touch controls switch the light, and a press-and-hold adjusts brightness. The box includes a charging cable, adapter, user manual, and warranty card.

Keep in mind that the 25W figure applies to compatible devices, the listing does not give a charging rate for the secondary wireless pad or the extra USB-C output. For a nightstand, that means fewer separate leads to manage, but it is still worth matching the charging spots to the devices you actually use. A simpler single-device stand may suit someone who only needs a place to prop up one phone.

Best use cases

This setup makes the most sense when you want a phone visible while it charges and have a watch or earbuds to park nearby. Picture checking a message from the bedside table, then setting the phone back on the magnetic stand while the watch charges beside it. The extra pad gives you another wireless spot, and the built-in light can serve as a small ambient lamp rather than requiring a separate bedside light.

A solid pick if you want several charging options and a light in one station. It might not be a great match if you need confirmed charging speeds for every output or only want a basic phone stand. From the way it is set up, the value is in consolidating devices, not in replacing every dedicated charger with a specified high-speed output.

Tips for day-to-day use

Set the stand where its adjustable angle makes the screen easy to see from your usual seat or bedside position. Use the retractable USB-C cable when you want a wired connection without leaving a loose cable stretched across the desk, it extends to approximately 65 cm and retracts into the base. The additional USB-C output is another option for a wired device, though its output rate is not stated.

For the light, tap the touch panel to cycle through the listed color settings or switch it off. Press and hold to adjust brightness. Before relying on the main stand for its maximum listed output, check that your phone supports compatible magnetic wireless charging. The product description names iPhone 18, 17, 16, and 15 Pro Max, along with other magnetic phones, but does not provide a full compatibility list for every device.

Questions before you buy

Can it charge two phones at once? The description says the main stand and secondary wireless pad can charge two phones at once, provided the devices are compatible.

Is there a wired charging option? Yes. The retractable USB-C cable is rated up to 20W, and the station also has an extra USB-C output. No output rate is given for that extra port.

Can you change the night light? Yes. Touch controls offer cool white, warm yellow, warm white, and off, pressing and holding adjusts brightness.

Final verdict

Choose the Acer S5 if you want one bedside or desk station for a phone, another wireless device, and a watch, with wired charging and an adjustable night light as added conveniences. Its strongest case is reducing the number of separate charging spots and loose cables around your routine. Skip it if your decision depends on exact charging speeds for every pad and port, or if you only need a straightforward stand for one phone.
