One of the annoyances I have about today’s best phones is that it’s very rare to find one with expandable storage. It’s also incredibly inconvenient to copy photos I’ve captured with my mirrorless camera to my phone so I can upload and share them as quickly as possible. That’s why I’m stoked about this early Black Friday Day deal on this MagSafe charger that also doubles as an SD card reader.
Amazon shaves $16 off the Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter, bringing the price to a whopping 64% off. It’s normally $24, but this early Black Friday deal chops it down to $8 — which was the main reason why I ended up buying one.
First and foremost, it’s an ingenious way of increasing your phone’s storage. In the past, I’ve often leaned on clunky USB-C flash drives to transfer files from my phone, but since the Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter features a MagSafe connection, it’s better tucked away so I can still use my phone. And yes, it’ll snap onto the back of any phone that has magnets embedded in the back of it — like the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL.
There’s a full-sized SD card slot in it, which gives shooters the flexibility to either expand their phone’s storage or copy files over. Many of the best camera phones offer 8K capture, high-speed frame rates and their own flat LOG color profiles. They take up an incredible amount of storage, but the Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter can transfer 4K60 ProRes videos from an iPhone at 220 Mb/s to the appropriate SD card.
And finally, it doubles as a charger when you connect a power adapter to its USB-C port. In fact, it has a speedy 42.5W maximum output that’s more than enough to recharge your phone quickly. For a gadget that costs under $9, it doesn’t cost a whole lot — and it will actually smooth out my workflow.
