I charge my smartphone and tablet at the same time at lightning speed with this compact BlueBuilt charger. The car charger doesn't come with any cables, so I had to buy it myself.
Fast charging tested
During the drive to work, I tested the charging speed by charging my Samsung Galaxy A71 from 17 percent battery. After half an hour of charging, it was 60 percent full. With a standard charger, it takes me at least twice as long. Handy if I forget to charge my device the night before or in the morning. Don't have a Samsung smartphone? No problem, you can also quickly charge Apple, Xiaomi and Sony, for example.
Charge 2 devices at the same time
With the 2 USB ports, I can quickly charge my friend's iPhone 12 and my Samsung smartphone at the same time while on the road. That's great, because that way we don't arrive at the final destination with an empty battery or without navigation. The second USB port provides 45 watts of power, so I can quickly charge my tablet or small laptop on the go. Handy for on the go on vacation or when friends are sitting in the back seat. I also charge devices that cannot fast charge, such as my e-reader and headphones.
No cables included
I did not receive any cables with the car charger. I did receive a cable with my smartphone, so I still had it lying around. I find an extra cable for the car handy, so I had to buy it. Do you also need an extra cable? Then pay attention to which connection your device has. For iPhone you need a USB C to Lightning cable. You use a USB-C to USB-C cable for your Android smartphone. Old USB A cables do not fit on this car charger.
Compact charger
The compact car charger is the size of a bank card and weighs as much as a tangerine. This makes it less noticeable and fits nicely into the interior of my car. When I take the charger out of my car, I can easily take it with me in my bag or jacket pocket.
