ORZLY USB A to USB C Cable Set

I thought I'd share as they finally got delivered. Still says it will be delivered on the 13TH of next month...
Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables (1M) for use with OnePlus 2, Nokia N1 Tablet, Lenovo Zuk Z1, and Other Type-C Supported Smartphones & Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RMG5WY/
They are USB 2.0, but I know I'll need some spare cables at home, in the car and at work.
The cables are much nicer than I thought it would be for this price. They actually are a beautiful color with a clear surrounding on them as you can see in the pictures. The end all have this really nice speckled metallic appearance. The connectors look like they're pretty well made and nothing feels cheap. I will say the cables themselves are a little floppier that I was expecting but I've noticed this from flat cables a lot more.
Only cost me $19 for the 4 cables. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll answer what I can.

I was just looking at these on Amazon untill I read a review some guy said they only charge at 500mA max so idk

They may, but I don't care, that's why they are spares. I've got a few others on the way and one of the dual port ones from Google work the long cable.

thanks these will probably work great for a nice slow trickle charge through usb at work!

That's what I was thinking, when you can't find your good cable and need something to keep it alive, or have to move some files or pictures at work.

I have these but haven't used then yet. They feel very cheap to me. I don't expect more than 500mA. I'm sure they'll be great for a trickle charge until they fall apart. I expect to keep them for that reason only, even if they only last 6 months.

Yeah, I could barely care if I lose one, just a spare. I didn't think they felt super cheap though. Did you get the same colors?

We just got these in my store, ?

I've got them and been using them with my OP2 since launch. What app can I use to check charge rate one you let me know I'll check all of them. I just got in the red and black cable from them and it is thicker and feels like it's high quality I'll do a video this week on it

I'm using a good looking app called Ampere.

(REVIEW) Tronsmart 2 port Quick Charge 2.0 Wall Charger*

(REVIEW) Tronsmart 2 port Quick Charge 2.0 Wall Charger*
I received this Tronsmart 2 port Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger for free in exchange for an honest review.
Look/Feel
First impressions were very good. The charger was packed well and came with two good quality micro usb cables. The actual charger has a good sturdy feel and seems to be made well and out of quality materials. The black and green colors are nice to look at.
If I have one complaint, it is the placement of the plug/jacks. With the current placement, the unit with a usb cable plugged in sticks out from the wall a minimum of 4.5” making it less than idea for direct wall plug in behind a shelf/nightstand etc. A right angle outlet adapter will remedy this, or plug into a surge protector where its slim factor only takes up one slot. Not a deal breaker as a surge protector is a good idea anyway for your $700 cell phone.**
Performance
The two phones I own that accept quick charging immediately recognized the charger and indicated the phones were “Fast Charging” just like with the OEM units. I tried three different phones and using the Tronsmart voltage tester, I recorded the following MAX volts/amps with the screen off.
- LG v10 :***9.09V/1.70A
- Samsung Note 4:**8.98V/1.59A
- Moto Droid Mini:***5.11V/1.24A
So the charger with Volt IQ did a good job of recognizing the phone and applying an appropriate amount of power. I found that it charged my LG v10 as fast as or maybe slightly faster than the OEM charger.
Overall impressions are excellent, I would buy this product. It is well made, did not get hot, performs great and looks nice. I see the 5 port desktop version in my future as we have a handful of phones and tablets in our household and it would also be perfect for travel.
Based on the Amazon reviews alone, I'd say Tronsmart is here to stay.

Ya I have that one too at work. I also have a bunch of their smaller QC 2.0 chargers. They all work very well.

5-port wall charger is good as well from Tronsmart

I bought the one that is a 5-port wall charger, it was on sale for $24 at Amazon, may still be there. It really does recognize what the optimal charging should be and delivers accordingly. Good buy.

Just checked and the promotion is over. Coupon expired. ?

Unfortunately not. I received it to test output, but it does not come with the wall charger.

Choetech B617Q Power Bank review

Hello! A few days ago, I received a Choetech B617Q power bank to review, and well, I've never reviewed a power bank before, so bear with me.
First off, here's a link to the Power Bank, because how else would you know where to get it from?
http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-10400mAh-Portable-External-Lightning/dp/B01AAHT62A
OK, so now, the specs. Everyone loves specs, right? So here they are:
Capacity: 10400mAH 38.48Wh
Battery Type: 18650 2600mAH
Input 1 (Lightning): 5V 2.4A
Input 2 (MicroUSB): 5V 2.4A
Output 1 (QC 3.0 Port) 5V 3A/9V 2A/12V 1.5A (standard)
Output 2 (High Efficiency Port): 5V 1A (standard)
Dimensions: 3.9x2.9x0.8 inches
Weight: 236g/0.52 oz (This seems to be wrong here, it's solid!) (I just measured it on a kitchen scale, and it's 0.58 Lbs, so 263g, or 9.28 Oz, or 0.04142857 stone, for you wacky Brits out there)
Oh hey look, more printed specs!

OK, so I'm not going to do an unboxing. It's a beige box. Inside a white cardboard sleeve with a minimalist design and a picture of the product. GO FIGURE. You don't need, nor want to see me unboxing this, because frankly, it would be boring, right? I will say that inside, you get the power bank (Duh!), a USB to Micro USB cable (Like we don't have 20 of these laying around), and the instructions, which actually help. Why would instructions help, you might ask? I'll tell you!
See those LEDs? Yes, they tell you how much of a charge you have, but it also tells you when you're using QuickCharge or not, as the first LED turns green instead of blue. And did I mention this was QuickCharge 3.0? So you can enjoy it with your V10, and it's future proof for your next upgrade!
Now, you have a few ports to choose from here. You can use the QuickCharge port, or the normal port, or BOTH, to charge your devices. You can also recharge the power bank using MicroUSB OR a Lightning cable, so even if you forget your cable at home, someone is bound to have you covered.
JUST LOOK AT THESE PORTS!
Now, there's not much other features I can talk about here. It's a big honking battery. However, this is a SOLID device, made out of powder coated black aluminum (Aluminium for you wacky brits, I cater to you guys), with some nice chamfered edges that are polished to a chrome like shine. The power button is plastic, but is solid and clicky, and all around the device feels well designed and put together. I'm going to leave you with a few more pics, and feel free to ask questions!

How many charges would you say can you give the v10 before needing a recharge? I have the limefuel 20,000mAh capacity power brick and it gets about 5 full charges (~5-100%) but it's super heavy and bulky.

Review: USB C Charger, CHOETECH 55W Multi USB Charging Station

I received this product from Choetech recently at a discounted rate, in exchange for my views on it. Here they are:
The item came next day and was very well packaged. The packaging is the nowadays very popular cardboard box containing the hub itself and a USB C to USB C cable. This is a very nice add-on, especially because the new standard is not yet available like the old micro USB one, so that is a welcomed addition.
Opening the box reveals the unit itself in a little plastic bag. It is smaller than I expected, and a stand makes it convenient when put on a desk. The hub itself has a nice satin finish, which gives a premium feeling.
There is a mains adapter which plugs into the back of the unit. When you plug it a blue light comes on which means its ready use.
The hub has 2 USB C ports and 4 USB A sockets. Using the cable which came with the unit, the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X both show quick charging, and according to my measurements, the charging times are similar to the original chargers came with the phones.
The hub also charges the iPhone 6 and 6S Plus, the iPad Mini and the Huawei Watch without and problems.
In an environment with many devices, this hub is a very-very useful gadget, freeing up 6!!! sockets.
I will take it with me on holidays as well, so no more power bricks needed, just the cables and this hub.
The hub is reasonably priced, premium quality and works as expected. Highly recommended!

I also had an opportunity to trial this hub. Arrived tightly packaged and neat. I use it on my night table and it has declutered my floor wires. Stays cool charges at high rate and I've noticed no degradation of power ever with all ports in use.
I are with the above review and I would recommend this as a low profile, well designed power hub. I will continue to stress this little fellow and update as needed.

Update: It seems, it charges the Nexus slightly slower than the original charger. I will have to measure it though to be sure.

Choetech 5 Coil Dual Fast Wireless Charger

I just received Choetech's new 5-Coil dual wireless charger to review. I just got it today, so I don't have a full review. But so far it appears to be very nice quality, and promises to fast charge (up to 10W) two devices at once. I'll test it with my Note 9 and Note 8 for a few days then leave a review here.
It can be purchased from Amazon for $53 (which is about half the price of Samsung's charger) at this link:
CHOETECH Dual Wireless Charger, 5 Coils Double Qi Fast Wireless Charging Pad Compatible with iPhone X/XS/XS Max/XR/8/8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus/S8/S8 Plus, Note 9 (QC 3.0 Adapter Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KRZ9127/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eaAiCb6B7N5JJ

I'll add mine here, don't mean to high Jack the thread or anything.
I just received mine after being out of town for a few weeks so it was a pleasant surprise.
1. I am very happy with the design and build quality or the charging pad. It is lite but feels solid and centered. The soft touch pad of the top of it helps to keep devices from moving around or slipping off. I do wish it was a bit wider though as I sometimes find myself trying to align my Note 8 and 9 in the sweet spot.
2. Making sure you have the right power brick hooked up to it provides dual fast charging. I just use my Samsung official charge block that came with my Note 9 and it works just fine.
3. Really love that you can use any USB C cable instead of a dedicated charger for the unit. You can also use any charge block you want, but if it isn't a fast charge block with 2a or higher, it'll charge at regular speed for both devices.
I don't have any gripes about this product besides the size of the pad. So 4 out of 5 stars from me. As far as the price goes, I think $50 is appropriate considering how much the Samsung official one costs $100 or more depending on where you buy it.
This ones a yes from me.??
Disclaimer stuff...
Choetech sent me a sample unit to test and give my opinion on. And no, the fact that it was a sample didn't skew my opinion on the charger.
