Recently, we received a few charging accessories from a brand that most of you shouldn’t know about. So we weren’t as good. We are talking about AOHi. However, the fact is that the latter has been in the market for quite some time and knows how to make cheap but useful mobile accessories, including charging products. In this article, we’ll talk about our experience with three of them – a 40W AOHi Dual Port Wall Charger, a 30W AOHi Wall Charger, and a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable used with the two charging heads above. -above. .
AOHi wall chargers
AOHi wall chargers are extremely small and cute in terms of design. So you can take them with you wherever you go. What we also liked were the colors used by the manufacturer. As you can see from the pictures, the dual port wall charger is bright yellow in color while the 30W charger is traditional black in color.
The 40W charging head has a bendable plug design, while the 30W variant plugs do not bend. Additionally, both have LED indicators on them. When charging, they will turn into a corresponding color (colors differ from model to model).
However, generally there are a few colors corresponding to different states. For example, during standard charging, the LED indicator will display blue and be always on. When it enters a fast charging state, the LED light will turn yellow and flash. When there is low current, it will turn into stable green. Finally, if you have fast charging from any of the individual ports, the LED light will turn yellow and flash.
The AOHi wall charger with two ports can provide fast charging for two devices at the same time. It should be noted that this brand and these chargers use GaN+ technology. For those who don’t know, GaN+ stands for gallium nitride. This technology is three times more efficient than normal chargers.
As we said, the cable we have with the wall chargers is called Magline+. We liked its beautifully braided material, which looks better than the plastic one.
Real test
Finally, let’s look at the actual test results. We tested the chargers with the 2021 MacBook Air and the Xiaomi MIX 2. Although the former originally comes with a 30W charger, it supports up to 45W charging. We started charging when there was 0% power using the 30W charger. In 30 minutes it charged to 19% and said it would take 3 hours to fully charge. It was quite slow, and also, the charger was too hot. Then we moved on to the 40W wall charger. In 1 hour and 20 minutes, it charged from 19% to 86%. This was relatively close to its original charging speed.
Finally, as with the MIX 2 which supports 18W charging, in one hour the phone is charged from 5% to 85%. In fact, it was slightly weak compared to the original charger.
So we can conclude that although they are fast charging chargers, their charging performance is a bit lower than the original chargers.
