Aukey, the popular German makers of high-quality Qualcomm Quick Charge ready charging solutions has made a successful Philippine re-entry recently. One of the key product that the company introduced is the Aukey PA-T11 6-Port 60W charger, a charging station packed w/ 2x QC 3.0 ports and 4x AiPower ports.

A worthy investment? |
In case you missed it, Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 chargers are equipped w/ INOV (Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage) tech for fine tuned and optimized charging. On the other hand, the AiPower tech is designed to give you just the right amount of power your device will need without overcharging it.
Having said that, this Aukey 6-Port 60W charging station has the potential to be the all-in-one charging solution to have. Let's see!

Build Quality / Design

It's made out of a slab of solid plastic |
This Aukey charging station is made out of a solid polycarbonate plastic which feels sturdy enough to withstand several drops. You'll see the power cord port on one side and the 4 AiPower and 2x QC 3.0 USB ports. On one side, the safety standard certifications are engraved.

For the design, it is just a plain simple black box-like charger that's portable enough. It isn't that big at 103 x 71 x 26 mm and hefty at 206.8 grams. There's a green LED indicator in the AiO logo.
Performance

You can charge 6 devices all at the same time! |
This portable charging station is truly enjoyable to use. I can charge up 6 devices all at the same time (a space saver) with properly distributed power output. While we don't have the equipment to test the exact charging output yet, our Quick Charge 3.0 ready smartphones never had an issue with the Aukey PA-T11. The charging speed is almost the same.
On the other hand, the AiPower tech reminds me of the VoltiQ tech of Tronsmart. It'll just give the right amount of power that your device needs for the fastest charging possible (up to 2.4A) without overcharging it. Since it won't over charger your devices, it'll eventually extend the longevity of your battery.
We never experienced slowdowns in charging when plugging multiple devices.
When we tried to plug-in devices all at the same time, they charged in the quickest way possible. It's compatible with nearly all smartphones, tablets, speakers, cameras, and even some 2-in-1 laptops. We never experienced slowdowns in charging when plugging multiple device.
However, it doesn't have compatibility with other proprietary quick charge solutions like Huawei's 5A SuperCharge, OPPO's VOOC, and OnePlus's Dash Charge. It still works, but expect slower charging time.
Note: Just make sure to use high-quality 2A cables to fully experience the product
Pros - Portable, space saver, dual Quick Charge 3.0 ports, can really charge 6 devices all at the same time, loaded with safety features
Cons - It only comes in black (LOL)
Verdict
The Aukey PA-T11 6-port charging station is a worthy investment. Why? The quality of this product is great and it can safely charge up to 6 devices all at the same time with properly distributed power.
At PHP 3,149 some may think that the price is "high" for a just a charger, but it doesn't really have a weakness at this price point. Other competing chargers only have one QC 3.0 ports. So, price justified.
