Budi WL3700W Magnetic Wireless Charger | 15W Output | Qi Standard | USB-C to USB-C Cable 1.2m | White Finish
Lay the device down and power crosses over on contact, so a worn socket stops being the thing that fails first.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Budi WL3700W Magnetic 15W Wireless Charger is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,000, supplied with a 1.2-metre USB-C to USB-C cable in the box. The Budi WL3700W attaches magnetically to the back of any handset that carries a magnetic ring, then feeds it up to 15 watts over the Qi standard with nothing plugged into the phone itself. Every unit we stock is brand new and sealed. Mascom International keeps the Budi WL3700W at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can test the magnet against your own handset before you pay a shilling.
Kenyan phone owners wear out charging ports faster than they crack screens. Dust off Thika Road, lint from trouser pockets, and the daily habit of pulling a cable out sideways loosen the USB-C socket until it no longer holds a plug. The Budi WL3700W removes that wear completely, because the phone never gets plugged in. Shop attendants working counters along Kimathi Street, sales reps moving between Westlands meetings, and students at the University of Nairobi and Strathmore leave the Budi WL3700W on one surface and set the handset down between tasks.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell magnetic pads with no cable in the package, Mascom International supplies the Budi WL3700W complete with its 1.2-metre USB-C to USB-C lead, so a wall adapter is the only extra item you may need. Users consistently report that magnetic alignment fixes the problem flat pads never solved: the handset keeps charging even after it gets nudged. Walk into our Kimathi Street store Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, or order the Budi WL3700W for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Budi WL3700W
Will the Budi WL3700W work with my iPhone?
Yes, on every iPhone 12 and later, plus older iPhones fitted with a magnetic case. The magnet ring lines the coils up on contact, so you never hunt for the sweet spot. Apple caps charging at 7.5 watts on magnetic pads that are not Qi2 certified, which means a full top-up runs roughly four to five hours. Overnight or desk-side charging makes that pace irrelevant for most users.
Does it charge Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, and other Android phones?
Yes. Any Android handset that supports Qi wireless charging works on the Budi WL3700W. Samsung Galaxy S and Z models, Google Pixel, and Xiaomi phones draw the full 15 watts through the Qi Extended Power Profile. Most Android phones lack built-in magnets, so you attach a magnetic ring sticker or use a magnetic case to get the snap-on hold. Without magnets the pad still charges, but you must centre the handset by hand.
How fast is the Budi WL3700W compared to a cable?
Slower, and that is the honest answer. A 25-watt cable refills a 5,000mAh battery in about 80 minutes. The Budi WL3700W at 15 watts takes roughly three hours on Android, closer to five on iPhone. Wireless charging wins on convenience, not speed. Use the pad for desk hours, meetings, and overnight, then keep a wired charger for the moments when you have twenty minutes before leaving the house.
Do I need to buy a wall adapter separately?
Yes, in most cases. The Budi WL3700W ships with the 1.2-metre USB-C to USB-C cable but no plug. Any USB-C Power Delivery adapter rated 20 watts or higher drives it at full speed, and the 20W bricks that come with Tecno, Infinix, and Xiaomi phones work fine. A laptop USB-C port also runs it. Mascom International stocks 20W, 30W, and 65W USB-C PD adapters separately at our Kimathi Street counter.
Does the Budi WL3700W charge through a phone case?
Through most cases, yes. Silicone, TPU, and thin plastic covers up to about 3mm thick pass power without trouble. Thicker rugged cases, wallet cases holding bank cards, and any case with a metal plate for a car mount will block the coil or weaken the magnet hold. Remove cards from the case before charging. If your case has no magnet ring, the pad rests against it rather than gripping it.
Is the magnet strong enough to hold my phone upright?
It holds a phone flat or on a slight tilt without slipping, including through the vibration of a matatu ride or a boda boda commute. Fully vertical mounting on a wall is beyond what this pad is built for. The grip is firm enough that you can lift the phone to read a message and let the pad come with it, which is exactly the behaviour Kenyan users report wanting from a bedside setup.
Does wireless charging damage my phone battery?
No, when the charger manages heat properly. Heat degrades lithium batteries, not the wireless transfer itself. The Budi WL3700W includes over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection, plus foreign object detection that shuts output down if a coin or key lands on the coil. Charge on a hard surface rather than a bed or sofa cushion, keep the phone out of direct Nairobi sun while it sits on the pad, and the battery ages normally.
What comes in the Budi WL3700W package?
The retail box holds the white magnetic charging pad, a 1.2-metre USB-C to USB-C cable rated for the pad's input, and the printed user guide. A wall plug is not included. Mascom International adds our own receipt and 6-month warranty card to every unit before it leaves the store, so you have documented cover from a Nairobi CBD address rather than a phone number on a social media page.
Is the Budi WL3700W worth KSh 2,000 in Kenya's market?
Over two years of daily use, KSh 2,000 works out to under KSh 3 per day. Set that against a USB-C port replacement, which costs several thousand shillings at Nairobi CBD repair benches and leaves the handset in a workshop for a day. Budi has manufactured mobile accessories since 2009 and sells across 76 countries under CE, FCC, and RoHS certification, which puts the WL3700W well clear of unbranded market-stall pads.
Technical Specifications
Wireless Output and Charging Speeds
- Rated at 15 watts peak wireless output, stepping down automatically through 10W, 7.5W, and 5W to match the connected handset
- Qi-compatible Android phones supporting Extended Power Profile draw the full 15 watts for roughly a three-hour full-battery top-up
- iPhone 12 and later charge at 7.5 watts on magnetic pads without Qi2 certification, filling a typical battery in four to five hours
- AirPods Pro, AirPods 3, and Qi-capable earbud cases charge on the pad at their own lower rated speed
- Output steps down automatically when the pad detects heat build-up, protecting the phone battery during long desk sessions
- LED indicator confirms the pad is powered and actively transferring, useful in a dark bedroom without waking the screen
Magnetic Alignment and Device Compatibility
- Built-in magnet ring aligns the charging coils on contact, removing the guesswork that slows flat Qi pads
- Snaps directly to iPhone 12 through iPhone 17 series handsets and to Android phones fitted with magnetic cases or ring stickers
- Holds firmly through matatu vibration and boda boda handling without the phone sliding off the pad surface
- Charges through silicone, TPU, and plastic cases up to roughly 3mm thick with no measurable speed penalty
- Metal plates, bank cards, and wallet cases must be removed, since both block the coil and disrupt the magnet
- Compatible with Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Tecno, Infinix, and any handset carrying Qi wireless support
- Phone stays usable while charging, so M-PESA confirmations and WhatsApp replies happen without lifting it off
Cable and Power Input Requirements
- Ships with a 1.2-metre USB-C to USB-C cable, long enough to reach a wall socket from a desk or bedside table
- USB-C input port accepts power from any USB-C PD wall adapter, laptop port, or power bank you already own
- Input rated across 5V/2A, 9V/2A, and 12V/1.5A, letting the pad accept both older and newer adapter types
- A 20-watt or higher USB-C PD adapter is needed to reach the full 15-watt wireless output rating
- Cable length suits Kenyan wall socket placement, which typically sits well below desk height in older buildings
- Wall adapter is sold separately; Mascom International stocks 20W, 30W, and 65W USB-C PD plugs at the same counter
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Compact circular pad measuring roughly the diameter of a phone camera module, adding little bulk to a laptop bag
- White finish with a soft-touch charging face that grips the phone back without scratching glass or matte panels
- Non-slip base keeps the pad planted on wooden desks, glass tables, and shop counters during one-handed phone removal
- Slim profile lets the pad sit under a monitor stand or slide into a laptop sleeve pocket for travel
- Sealed single-piece housing has no moving parts, so there is nothing to loosen after months of daily attachment cycles
- Operates normally across Kenyan ambient temperatures, from Nairobi highland evenings to Mombasa coastal humidity
Safety Protections and Heat Control
- Over-voltage protection cuts output if the wall adapter or Kenya Power supply sends an unstable voltage spike
- Over-current protection stops the pad drawing more than its rated load, protecting both the charger and the handset
- Over-temperature protection reduces or halts output when the coil or phone back climbs past a safe threshold
- Short-circuit protection isolates the circuit instantly if the internal wiring or the connected cable faults
- Foreign object detection halts transfer when a coin, key, or SIM tool lands between the pad and the phone
- Certified to CE, FCC, and RoHS standards, the same testing regime Budi applies across its accessory range
