Wireless charging is still a very slow trend here in Ireland but slowly gaining attention due to more smartphones now having it built-in and not relying just on standard charging and when you get used to the idea you will not want to go near a plug again and will just like to drop that phone down and that’s it.
Recently I reviewed another product which made life simple and this product also follows suit with its execution.Not only does it look well its built well too and has a nice rubberized texture throughout. On one side of the unit we have a power key and a row of LED lights to give us a power status level and if charging wired or wireless. There is one micro usb port and one USB port so there is nothing difficult about it when it comes to set-up. You can in fact charge two devices at the same time here.
On top there is 12 suction cups which keep your phone in place which is quite secure if your device has no case or it also holds onto clear gel or plastic type cases too. You can use this unit in two ways. Either via Qi charging when you set the device on top or with the built-in 5000 mAh battery on board you can carry it with you and keep your device attached and still take calls on the go. The unit is around the same size as an average smartphone but obviously thicker but not heavy.
What I like here is the execution and how it can be used with simplicity either at home or on the go and again in the office you are covered and especially with the juice on board which would suit anyone on the go or for those who suffer with battery anxiety you can connect direct with a cable or use wirelesly on the move and again this will easily fit into a pocket too.
