Tintec Smart 24W/5V4.8A 3-Port USB Wall Charger

We all probably now have plenty of similar wall chargers at home supplied with phones and other appliances but this new charger from Tintec has more to offer than the basic rivals despite the budget price of £8.99.

In the rather plain product box was just the charger itself and a simple one-page User Guide, which has some useful information for those that need it. I enclose a scan of it at the end of my unboxing video.

This a three-port USB charger, what a pity there is no USB-C port, and according to the User Guide can output at up to 24W across three ports at 5V/2.4A per port maximum and to a combined maximum of 4.8A. This exceeds the power output of most basic rivals and allows two phones to be charged together at full power or three at a slightly reduced rate. It will work with mains power of between 100 and 240V and will work with any UK and USA socket. The three pin USA pins can be slid off to reveal a fold-out 2 pin USA plug. Build quality seems fine and nothing appears likely to break or fall off any time soon.

It should work with almost any Android or iOS device or USB powered electronic device. It should charge an iPad mini in about three hours and most larger capacity modern smartphones in two hours or less. It is small enough to fit into a pocket or travel bag and the UK plug can be detached to make it smaller still.

If you need an inexpensive portable charger that will speedily charge a range of devices then this would be an excellent choice.
