Portronics POR 343 Mobile ChargerWhite

lights are always on, once you plug in, they should light up only while charging, otherwise it should goto sleep mode......

I write this review after using this product for almost two months. Its Compact with 6 charging points .. it uses 8 Amp to charge your device and it does charge very effectively as well as very fast and I use to charge my Note 3 with this device.. Something must to mention here is this, when I use my regular cable provided with Note 3 it take longer time but still lesser time then regular charger around 2 hours to fully charge the device but when I use my old cable of BlackBerry it just take and hour to fully charge the same. Simultaneously charging two similar devices the charging time is much shorter. Original Note 3 charger is costing around 1000 bucks but at this price is an excellent product. Only thing it make 6 LED lamps brightly lit when plugged into the socket it is very bright and people like me who love to sleep in pitch dark may not like it !! I put a book on top of it when using this charger at night.

Appearance, Quality, Look and feel: (….4/5) Sturdy plastic and well-built product. Adhering to its large capacity to charge multiple devices simultaneously, its bigger than other chargers, which may make it excessive for those needing it only for a single device. Mains power cable is removable, useful while travelling. White colour is good, and not easily stained. Blue hued LED's are nice and bright. There are no charging cables provided for any Apple/Android devices. Performance: (….. 3/5) It has 5Vx6 USB ports with a total of 8A capacity as written in specifications. Charging is reliable and fast expected to be approx. 2A max per port. No auto cut-off per port or overall device. Would be recommended to check if smartphone/tablet device is compatible with 5V2A USB and without getting damaged. It works well to power other devices like mp3 players, portable power banks, USB accessories like fan, reading light, toys, etc. About the drawbacks: The LEDs are for show only and not charging indicators, and they light up when this charger is connected to mains. LEDs though bright, may not be liked by some, especially those who do not like night lamps. Another thing noticed was while charging, some devices getting some touch related problems, or screen jitters while operating touch screen, probably due to minor mains leakage on device side, and touch screens are known to have these issues. Experience and overall verdict: (…. 4/5) I have been using this charger as my main charging station since last three months. I tried charging three smartphones, one iPad, and one power bank simultaneously. And one of them was six-year-old Samsung galaxy s2, they all charged merrily. None of the devices showed excessive heating. Also tried powering WiFi nano router with 3G data card (TPLink TL-MR3020) while charging a two other phones; kept in running for 12hours. During latter, the POR 343 charger did warm up a little, but no issues. I have been doing this ever since and hardly use my phones own chargers.
