This would be a reasonable price for a Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 but having 5 ports makes it a great deal, as the closest alternative on Amazon is the Aukey one at £17.99. I've been using something similar for several years to charge all my devices but as I've got a Quick Charge 3.0 phone I'll be grabbing one of these to upgrade.
As usual, 3 year warranty from Aldi (thanks for the reminder PlanetP).
Description implies it's a 1x USB 3.0 and 4 x USB 2.0 charger but it looks like whoever's writing the description has got confused as it's clearly imprinted on it that it's a Quick Charge 3.0 charger.
Yay, I can charge all 5 of my imported Chinese hoverboard's at the same time!

I have a Tronsmart 5 port mains charger which I saw on hukd deal and my buying reflex kicked. After I ordered I thought how daft why the hell do I need this but it has turned out to be the most useful thing ever. Firstly it charges my phone to full in about 50 minutes, secondly you can (obviously) charge 5 things at once without needing 5 chargers. When you're in a foreign hotel room with phone, Bluetooth speaker, tablet, sansa clip, noise reduction headphones, honestly you just pat yourself on the back for having the foresight to buy one of these.

Nice one, thanks. The three year warranty is worth a mention too. I've pre-ordered the white one. :smiley:

40W doesn't seem a lot for a 5 port charger let alone with a QC 3.0 port.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 40 watts means a maximum of 1.6 amps per port? That's lower than most standard chargers these days. I've no idea what the spec of QC 3.0 is and I can't be bothered to do the Googling but surely that port would draw 4 amps on its own?
In fact, I have done a little Googling and I've found a website that states gives 2 different figures for QC 2.0. 18W and 20W. Whichever is accurate that's nearly half the output of this charger for just one port. Lets not forget that this charger supports QC 3.0 so I guess the power draw would be a bit higher.

Right, if you want all ports to run at max , £10 is not possible or even at 2 or 3 of the ports. The weight of the transformer would be quite big and heavy too. I have a Tecknet 6 port USB charger 5V 12.6A 63W 6-Port each deliver 2.1A, but the transformer is very heavy as the weight of these things go up exponentialy with watts or amps.
And if you go to Amazon you will see those people moaning about the size of the transformer without realising the higher amps means bigger transformers unless you pay much price where the coils could be made smaller with much more expensive magnets. That's why the Aldi marketing photo does not show you the transformer size.
