If you’re like me, you have an iPhone, Apple Watch, and a pair of Qi-compatible earbuds such as AirPods. Having a device that allows you to charge all three at once makes life so much easier, as there is no need for multiple charging cables, and a 3-in-1 charging device reduces the space needed.
In this review, we have been testing the Groov-e Triton, a 3in1 foldable charging station perfect for those on the move. This handy little device is available for only £19.99.
Who is the brand Groov-e?
If this is your first time checking out Groov-e, it’s a brand that blends style and functionality in the world of consumer electronics. Groov-e offers a range of affordable products, from headphones to speakers, all with that commitment to affordability, which has made it a favourite among consumers. Here at What Gadget, we have reviewed several of their products, which can all be
viewed here.
First Impressions
The Groov-e Triton is a wireless charging station that maximizes your charging capabilities at the same time as reducing clutter and offering efficiency and convenience. When it comes to charging your phone, this device is compatible with wireless magnetic charging-enabled smartphones such as the iPhone 12 and above and the Samsung S20 and above.
The middle section is for your Apple Watch and is compatible with series 1 to 9. The last section of this 3-in-1 charging station is for your wireless charging-enabled earphones, such as AirPods. In this review, I used my Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2, which is wireless charging enabled. All this is available for the budget-friendly cost of £19.99.
Design/Performance
I recently had to stay at a hotel for an award evening and wanted to make sure my earbuds were fully charged after my commute to the awards I wanted to give my iPhone and Apple Watch a boost before I went to the awards while getting ready.
I was so impressed with just how convenient the useful this wireless charging station is. You simply just unfold it so it’s flat on the desk. Place your phone on the first pad which has a magnetic charger that is compatible with a MagSafe-compatable phone. The photos below show the Groov-e Trition in its flat position and also its triangular shape that allows you to just charge your phone and watch.
The charging station is powered by a USB-C to USB-A charging lead which I ran into my laptop while I wrote this review meaning I saved even more space on my desk. The phone charging pad provides you with a 15W output which will vary charging times between iPhone and Samsung devices.
The second pad is to charge your Apple Watch (it’s not compatible with other smartwatch brands, unfortunately). This pad is also where the USB-C port is positioned with 2 LED’s one indicates when your phone is on charge and the other when your earbud’s charging case is on charge. The LED will go green when charging is happening and red when not in use.
When it comes to charging your Apple watch simply place your watch flat on the charging pad or open the pod to a 90-degree angle to charge your watch on its side. Once your watch is connected the charging symbol on your watch will automatically appear and it starts to charge. This part of the charger will only be compatible with Apple Watches Series 1 to 10 and provide a 2W charging output which will give you a steady charge.
Finally, there is the 3rd charging pad which is the pad for your wireless-enabled charging earphones. Simply place your charging case on the pad and you will notice the second LED on the middle pad go green in my case the LED on my Jabra charging case also lit up and started to flash slowly indicating they have started charging. I found it a real bonus as this pad was not just for Apple devices if you like me, not every device you use is an Apple device. I was also impressed with the 3W charging output that also provided a steady charge.
Verdict
If you’re looking to charge multiple devices efficiently the Groov-e Triton charging station offers a good option for those who want to minimize on clutter on their desk and charge 3 devices at once. I also found the convenience of the foldable design makes it an ideal travel accessory to keep all your devices charged and ready to use and allow you to fit in your jacket or bag without taking up much space.
Considering the price of under £20 and just how useful this device is. The Groov-e Triton makes a fantastic stocking filler this Christmas for someone who loves tech and loves to travel.
