SYNCWIRE New MagSafe Ring Review: 23.9 g, 4 mm, and Still a Double Ring

This is the English edition of a review from my Japanese YouTube channel, iestaLife. I review gadgets from my home studio in Japan, so product links go to Amazon Japan. I bought this ring myself.

Quick take

For about a year my everyday MagSafe ring was SYNCWIRE's double-ring model. Its only real weakness was bulk. The new version keeps the double ring and the 360-degree rotating base but drops to 23.9 g and 4 mm (the old one measured 35.6 g and 6 mm). It is now the ring I would recommend to anyone buying their first MagSafe ring. The one catch: the outer MagSafe face is stronger, so the ring can stay stuck to a powerful car mount when you pull the phone away.

What I tested

SYNCWIRE MagSafe ring stand, new model (¥2,699 at 23 percent off when I bought it)
SYNCWIRE double-ring MagSafe ring, previous model (my daily ring for about a year)
For reference: TORRAS and EWA MagOne rings I have used before
Phones: an iPhone in a MagSafe case and a Galaxy Z Fold8

Measurements

Ring	Weight	Thickness
SYNCWIRE new	23.9 g	4 mm
SYNCWIRE previous	35.6 g	6 mm
TORRAS	34.2 g	5.4 mm
EWA MagOne	18.3 g	3.1 mm

Maximum stand height with both rings open: 64.6 mm for the new model, 67.5 mm for the old one. The ring itself is slightly smaller now.

What I found

Same usability, less bulk. The two-stage ring makes it easy to set different stand angles and to slip a finger through. Big single-ring designs are harder to get a finger into.
Rotation matters. On high-friction cases a fixed ring cannot slide and can leave marks, so the rotating base is a real plus. The hinge is firm out of the box.
Single colour now. The old black version had a silver inner part; the new one is one matte colour, which matches cases more easily. Six colours were listed: black, titanium blue, pink, white, green and cosmic orange.
Works on a foldable. On the Galaxy Z Fold8 it stood up in both portrait and landscape without trouble.
Inner magnet: plenty strong in everyday use. TORRAS felt slightly stronger, MagOne slightly weaker.
Outer magnet: stronger than before. On a strong magnetic car mount, the ring stayed on the mount when I pulled the phone off normally. The old ring balanced this better.
Quiet improvement: the old ring could only be flipped up from the side with the arrow. The new hinge design lets you catch it from the opposite side too, so you can raise it by feel without looking.

Who it is for

Anyone buying a first MagSafe ring who wants a finger grip and a stand in one
People who stopped using rings because they felt thick or heavy
Foldable owners who want a ring stand that works in landscape
If you often leave the ring attached when docking on strong magnetic mounts, or want every millimetre of stand height, the previous model may suit you better

The video is in Japanese (YouTube can show auto-translated captions). Useful chapters: 02:13 unboxing, 06:36 weight and thickness, 09:23 on the Galaxy Z Fold8, 13:16 the outer magnet issue, 19:42 the hinge improvement.

Limitations

I recorded this right after unboxing plus one day of use, so long-term hinge wear is not covered. Prices are Amazon Japan prices at the time of recording.
