Performance
The charging speeds are indeed impressive. I tested it with a variety of devices, from smartphones and tablets to smartwatches, and consistently experienced faster charging than with my previous charger. The PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies seem to work as advertised, intelligently adjusting the output to optimize charging for each device. The ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously without a significant drop in charging speed was a major plus. The build quality felt sturdy and durable, reassuring for a product I’ll be using daily. The slightly larger size compared to some other 4-port chargers is a minor trade-off for its added robustness. Despite the claim of water resistance, I did not test this feature, but the overall robust feel suggests a good level of protection from accidental spills.

- Cons: Slightly larger than some competitors, the advertised water resistance was not tested.

The fast charging speeds, multiple ports, and international compatibility make it an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable and efficient charging solution, especially for travellers. While the slightly larger size might be a minor drawback for some, the superior build quality and performance easily compensate for this. I wholeheartedly recommend this charger.
