Best Budget Multiple Ports Charging Hub of 2017!

Most of us own more than 1 smart device that requires charging - power banks, phones, tablets, smart watches ... etc. And the charging ports are never enough! I can't say how many times during that I've to be fighting for a USB port to charging my dying phone or power bank.

That's why I'm so glad that Multiple Ports Charging Hubs are invented; 1 hub to charge all your devices (hopefully)... It just makes things much more easier and peaceful.

If you do a quick search on Google, you'll probably find the more "popular" brands like Aukey and Anker popping up. However, there are many other brands and options out there that are cheaper and yet perform as well. And now I'm going to down a simple "shoot-out" of the 4 Multiple Ports charging hub I've reviewed and pick my "personal best".

Although they're all Chinese brands, they perform very well. (Reasonably well for some)

But before the shoot-out, I would suggest you read my previous reviews on the items, which I've provided the links below. It's not compulsory though, but it might give you a more in depth details about each charging hubs.

Well, I've done a table to show the results.

Notes:

- I always charge the iPhone 6+ on the fastest Non-QC port. So the ports used are as follow:

Remax Youth Edition: 2.4A port
LDNIO: (random port due to it having Auto-ID)
Habigis: (random port due to it having Auto/Smart-ID)
CD Coming Data: (random Non-QC port, since all were 2.4A as stated)

- For the CD ComingData Charging hub, I only use the 4 Non-QC ports.

Number of

Now, if you ask me which is my "personal best"  Budget Multiple Ports Charging Hub, I'll say it's the WINNER is Hagibis HADE1901-C 6 ports Charging Hub. Simply for the fact that I need as many ports as possible and that its the "coolest"charging hub that doesn't give off any smell even when used for long hours. 

But of course, your "personal best" could be different from mine, it all comes down to personal preferences.
