Devices are always thirsty for power and our smartphones and tablets are no different. Finally, manufacturers are moving from MicroUSB to more modern connections, and the MyCharge HUBMAX Universal is up to the minute too. It features USB-C and Lightning cables *built-in to the unit* along with 2-prong charging also integrated into the device.
Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ tried out the MyCharge HUBMAX Universal with both Lightning connector phones (Apple iPhone 11 Pro) and USB-C connector phones (Google Pixel 3 XL). The results: The device worked great!

The last portable charger you'll ever need to buy
0:03
Let's check this out. Dave Taylor here, and I'm looking at this
0:13
This is so cool. This is the My Charge Hubmax Universal Portable Charger
0:19
Now, one of the things it does that's really cool is it has a two-prong plug right built in
0:25
So when you need to charge this baby, you just plug it into the wall
0:30
when you're done, that flips up out of the way, and you have 10,050 millimet hours of charge
0:37
at 3.4 amps. That is pretty decent amount of power. By comparison, an iPhone 10R has 2,900 milanp hour battery
0:47
a Pixel 4 has 2,800 milanp hour battery, and a Galaxy S10 is doing pretty well
0:53
with 3,400 millimet hours. Basically, this is like having three or four spare batteries
0:59
for your smartphone. And that's pretty nice. But it's not just that because it has built in
1:06
both USBC and lightning connectors. So you can use them simultaneously. You can charge multiple
1:14
devices or you can just charge one. If you charge multiple devices, you're splitting that
1:20
amperage across all the devices. So they will charge a little slower than if you just have
1:24
one plugged in. So I have a pixel 3xl, which is a USB
1:29
So I plugged that one in and I will tell you charging just by itself This thing got an extraordinary 88 charge in one hour off of this
1:42
Now, different devices charge at different speeds, but that's pretty darn impressive
1:47
Now, maybe you don't have a pixel. Maybe you have an iPhone. This is an iPhone 11 Pro
1:52
I can plug this one in, and it immediately starts charging this one too
1:57
Now, I haven't timed how fast the charge goes, but suffice to say, it moves along at a pretty good clip, that 3.4 amp, specifically if you're using it just with one device. This thing works great
2:10
Now, maybe you don't have those two connectors. Maybe you have micro USB. Well, they got you covered there too, because there's a USB3 plug on the bottom. So if you need to, you bring your own cable for that one. You plug it in, but honestly, I have to say, I really have to say, I really
2:27
dislike micro USB and I'm so happy the industry is moving beyond it. Anyone who
2:33
figured that it was logical to have something where you have to turn it for the correct orientation, what the heck man? Not good planning. So that's really the
2:43
whole thing here. This is a really simple device. It works really well, has a little
2:48
button on the side you push and it shows you on LEDs. It shows you what your
2:53
charges. I've also found that if it's just sitting when you plug a device in
2:57
Sometimes it automatically turns on and starts charging. Other times it doesn't. So push the button that wakes the device and then it'll start charging there
3:06
If you plug this into the wall and have it plugged into a device in other words a configuration like this So if I have it like this and I plug it into the wall it will do exactly the right thing
3:19
which is it will pass through the charge until the device is fully charged
3:25
then it will sense that, then it will charge this. This means if you're at a trade show or expo or you have a really long day of meetings or classes or something
3:34
leave it all plugged in just like this overnight. And when you grab it in the morning, your phone will be fully charged and your charging unit will also be fully charged
3:45
That is a good design. Now, let me give you some dimensions too. You can see it's a very distinctive that my charge silver finish
3:53
little black line down here, but basically it's 4.6 inches tall by 2.8 inches wide by just a smidge less than an inch thick. Not too bad
4:03
12 ounces. It does have some heft to it because it does have, like I said, that 10,000
4:09
mill-amp hour battery and it just requires some circuitry to be able to actually have that much
4:14
storage for electricity. So that's it. Big fan, I've been using my charge devices for years
4:21
and I got to say that I really love the fact that I can just plug it into the wall and charge it
4:27
up and you can even top it up, right? So if you're at lunch at a coffee shop or something or
4:32
meeting some clients for a big business meeting. You can have your phone on the table as needed
4:37
but you can just plug this into a handy wall outlet, grab it on your way out, and you got a nice
4:43
boost there and you have lots more electricity So your phone going to last I don care what kind of phone you have This thing will keep it going for at least 30 hours if not twice that so really lots to like I a big fan
4:56
so before I get to the price is the only thing left to talk about is that I want to
5:02
actually ask you to subscribe to my channel not sure that all made sense in English
5:07
grammar but well roll with it anyway I'm super honest with my reviews I'm very
5:12
straightforward and I post a lot of reviews because I get my hands on a lot of gear. So do me a favor, subscribe to my channel, and you will keep up too. Sweet
5:22
Now, this is the My Charge HubMax Universal portable charger with USBC and lightning connectors
5:30
and USB3 on the bottom. And it is 9999, but I just looked on Amazon.com and at least as I'm
5:38
recording this video, it's down to 4999, which is a no-brainer price. Just go and get one. Just do
5:46
I have a link in the description. Click on that and you will be a proud and happy owner of one of these two
5:52
And you will never, ever have to stress out again that your phone is about to die
5:56
because you'll always have lots of extra power. And with that, I'm going to go and finish charging my devices
6:02
which means I'll catch you in my next video
