Tronsmart Quick Charge 3.0 Product Reviews
Disclaimer: I was sent these items in exchange for an unbiased review.
Overview
I tend to underestimate the number of things I need to charge everyday, or often (3 phones, Bluetooth headphones, android TV remote etc.) hence why these multiport chargers are perfect for me or anyone else who needs a lot of ports. Every room in my apartment has a charging hub, wall charger, or wireless charger depending on where you look.
I have used Tronsmart products for a long time (even before I was asked to review things for them), so naturally I will do my best to provide the best unbiased review that I can.
Tronsmart 3 Port 42W Quick Charge 3.0 Wall Travel Charger
This style of charger is my favorite to date given the number of ports in a small convenient package. Generally, I will carry one of my tri-port chargers with me during a normal day of classes just in case I need to charge my phone, and or Bluetooth (LG Tone Platinum) headphones. The other aspect I like about this charger is its folding wall plug. I cannot count the number of times I've broken a plug off a charger in my backup because they general bounce around along with my books, notebooks, and laptop, so this tiny detail is something that shouldn't be overlooked. I own a few of these chargers now (dual port type-c/type-a, tri-port QC 2.0 that's identical aside from the charging standard). I've yet to find a better compact travel charger to date which should speak for itself given the number of chargers I have (in excess of 20).
What's in the Box
-Tri-port charger
-Documentation
-Micro USB cable
Build & Design
All of the corners are rounded to give the charger a nice feel when you need to pick it up. The overall construction consists of matte plastic on the sides, and a glossy plastic around the edges that draws you in while making the charger look smaller than it is. Along the back you will find the rated input/outputs for each of the 3 ports along with some certification information that is required.
Charging breakdown by port
Output 1,2: 5V / 2.4A
Output 3 QC 3.0: 3.6-6.5V/3A, 6.5-9V/2A, and 9-12V/1.5A
Summary
Given the ability to charge multiple devices at once while still charging one of those at QC 3.0 speeds is nice to have. I mentioned that I personally will charge my phone, and a set of headphones, or other device depending on the day. Tronsmart's wall plug design is nice, and ideal for travel, so given that along with the compact size I would recommend this charger.
Tronsmart 5 Port Quick Charge 3.0 54W Charging hub
The 5-Port charger is essentially a slightly bigger, more stationary version of their 42W tri-port wall charger. One part I think is good to note is the long (~5-6[ft]) proprietary power cable for the charger. I think of this charger as a mini less powerful version of their 90W Titan desktop charger. You only get 1 QC 3.0 port alongside 4 normal 5V/2.4A ones, so if you need to quick charge multiple devices, this isn't the best charger to do that.
What's in the Box
-Tronsmart 5-Port Port 54W Charging hub
- 3.3[ft] micro USB cable
-Power Cable
-Documentation
Build & Design
The build is identical to their 42W QC 3.0 travel charger, so I will paste my description of it below for simplicity. There are a few subtle differences such as the charging cable instead of a direct wall plug. This gives you more flexibility for the chargers placement while still maintaining a small footprint.

Charging
I tested 2 ports at a time via separate multimeters to verify the outputs wouldn't be affected when another device was plugged in. This proved to be accurate which is great since some chargers will drop output current when under a heavy load.
Charging breakdown by port:
Output 1,2,3,4: 5V / 2.4A
Output 3 QC 3.0: 3.6-6.5V/3A, 6.5-9V/2A, and 9-12V/1.5A
Summary
This is a good small charger that can be used on a desktop or nightstand to charge a bunch of things. I wouldn't recommend it for traveling due to its overall size, so with that being said I would say it's a stationary charger. If you need to only charge 1 device at a faster rate, and still charger other things, then you won't be disappointed with this 5-Port charger.
