Samsung's Multi-Charging Wall Charger is now officially available for purchase, allowing users to juice up three devices at the same time.
The company announced its Multi-Charging Wall Charger back in August, basically introducing a tri-split cable and wall charger combination that is able to charge up to three compatible devices at once.
This cable has one USB port at one end and three MicroUSB ports at the other, which means that you can use just one USB output and split the charging power between up to three devices simultaneously. If you want to charge just one device, it will get all of the power all to itself.
More specifically, the cable comes with a 2A wall charger ready to evenly divide the output between connected devices. If just one device is connected, for instance, the charger will channel the full 2A to that device. If two devices are connected, it will give 1A to each, and if all three ports are in use, it will deliver 667mA to each connected device.
"With the Samsung Multi-Charging Wall Charger, you can charge up to three micro USB devices at once. For example, a Bluetooth headset, a wearable (e.g. Samsung Gear 2), and your smartphone can be charged all at once! The Multi-charging cable optimizes the total charge across all three devices, dividing the 2A charge evenly. In other words, if you're only charging two devices, power flows faster to each than if you were charging three simultaneously," Samsung explains.
"The Multi-Charging Cable is easily portable and small enough to throw in your pocket or purse. This is also the perfect accessory for the on-the-go mobile device user who carries multiple devices and pushes them all to the limit. Charge a wearable, smartphone, tablet, Bluetooth handset or any other micro USB device up to three at a time from a single charger!"
While it may not be ideal to wait for your device to charge alongside two others, with the charge evenly split between them, it's nonetheless a convenient and practical solution especially when travelling.
