Size and Aesthetics
Mophie have once again designed a product with a stylish deep black all over colouration with the mophie Charge Force Powerstation.This product is very sleek and minimalist and is roughly the size of your average smartphone so won't take up too much room making it an ideal work accessory. While it isn't wide the Charge Force Powerstation is still quite thick but should nevertheless fit easily into pockets or bags for easy transportation.
Functionality
This mophie wireless charger is a wireless powerbank which can be charged wirelessly and also charge other devices wirelessly. When both are happening at the same time it uses priority charging to ensure it charges your device first before the battery charges itself. In addition, you are also able to charge two devices at once by using the USB socket on the Powerstation. The 10,000mAh battery can purportedly charge up to 4 smartphones to full battery or can deliver an extra 48 hours of battery charge for your smartphone. You can turn this product on and off by simply holding a button on the side of it.
Grip
The mophie Charge Force Powerstation is magnetic so will provide a very secure grip for those with metal phones or for those who use the mophie Juice Pack charging cases. Otherwise the product is made from a non-slip TPU coating so is unlikely to slip around too much.
Positioning
This product contains only one transmitter coil so securing the phone in position may take a bit of fiddling, although the mophie symbol indicates where to place your phone
Indicator
Four status LEDs on the top right side of the product indicate how much charge your mophie Powerstation has, each light indicates 25% of charge. These light up when you turn the product on and stay constantly lit whenever a Qi enabled device is on the Powerstation charging.
Charging Distance
3mm.
Price 2/5
The mophie Charge Force Powerstation is a bit of a luxury for those who can afford it. While powerbanks really feel like the future and offer true wireless charging, the price tag is a bit of a mouthful. Nevertheless, as far as wireless powerstations go this product performs its role perfectly.
