[Nexus 6 Accessories] Gungrave223:
Ok so this is a quick review of a desktop usb charger that I've been using for the past week.

The device is the Choetech Multi Port Desktop Charger.

So I figure I would get to point first then going further into details

THE BOTTOM LINE:

This device is not for everyone, but if it is for you, you'll love it with a personal rating of 4.5/5.0

Pros

The device is light weight and easy to travel with.

The device have a total of 6 charging ports 2 of which support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 .

The device have a real nice matte finish.

and my favorite, the device ports are all real nice and snug, so there is no chance of accidental unplugging.

Cons

Unfortunately, the only major con I found with it was the price.

**As an after thought** It would have been nice if the auto detect tech work on all 6 ports not just standard ports. (If my understanding if correct)

Performance?

The device have a total of 6 ports with an output of 5V/9V/12V with the 12V being reserved for only the 2 quick charge port. The 4 standard ports on the device boast Choetech "Auto Detect" Technology meaning that it can automatically detect the max voltage for your device and output accordingly.

But if you're buying this device for it's QC technology you're probably more interested in the how well it perform compared to other quick chargers?

For my testing I used my Nexus 6 with CleanRom, and the stock usb cable that came with the phone, I also compared the Choetech device against the stock adapter that came with my Nexus 6.

To ensure a fair and relatively accurate results I followed the following procedures for both chargers 3 times to ensure no unusual data.

I drained my phone completely until it auto shut off, charged the device for exactly 30 seconds to ensure enough power to turn the device on.

I then place my phone in airplane mode and cleared all recently used apps.

I used the Playstore app Battery Monitor Widget in order to take a min by min reading of the charging process.

Finally I charged the device for exactly 10 mins (I went with 10 mins because the purpose of Qualcomm QC technology is to get as much juice in the least amount of time)

Results?

Unfortunately, the stock charge narrowly beat out the Choetech by an average of 1% for a ten minute charge(Choetecht charged 13% in 10 mins the stock 14% all three times the test was conducted), however Choetech beat the stock charger with an average of 2-3 degree Celsius less battery temp during that 10 min charge times (I think this is a bit more important considering the narrow gap in percentage charge considering the fact that battery temp have a direct effect on the lifespan of batteries.) Also if you care both the Choetech and stock charger took just under 2hrs 15min for a complete charge.

Usefulness?

This is why this device is not for everyone. Choetech market the device as a replacement phone charger, which if you intend to use it solely for that purpose and you only have 1 phone in your possession, there is no justification for purchasing this device.

However, if you're like me and you have several a bunch of peripherals like that doesn't require a data connection then this is perfect for you. Another example where I've personally used it in the past week was when I had guest over instead of everyone trying to find an outlet to plug there phones up I just plug this device in a central location that everyone could easily access... My wife have the S6 Edge and now we both can use QC tech at the same time without her annoying unplugging my phone :mad:, and finally I had a FTX with my Army Reserve Unit this week as well, and if you every had to sleep in a tent with 20 other people then you know how scarce an outlet is to charge your phone... but with this 6 people were able to charge up at any giving time.

Conclusion

So there you have my complete review of the Choetech Desktop Charger. Decided for yourself if its something for or not. Also keep in mind that your miles may vary as no 2 device is the same even if they were constructed the same.

If you like a video review to accompany this writing review just let me know ;)
