Aukey's Omnia Mix4 is the company's beefiest gallium nitride (GaN) charger. This new type of circuitry should result in chargers that are smaller, lighter, and more power efficient.
Most power conditioning circuits, from laptop chargers to electric bike controllers, are made with silicon chips. Gallium nitride chips conduct electricity much more efficiently, so they can be made smaller and generate less heat.
Instead of toting around a laptop charger and a phone charger, you can charge up to four devices simultaneously on the Mix4.
I recently got back from a trip to test a certain new smartphone camera and I was able to charge my tablet, my phone, and two battery bricks using only one precious airport outlet. And all my devices charged at the same time and at high speed.
Most GaN chargers on the market max out at around 65 watts. There are other 100 watt GaN chargers like the one from Hyperjuice, but it costs about twice as much.
Aukey's 100 watt, 4-port charger can charge two laptops, a phone, and a pair of earbuds simultaneously.
