If you, like me, have just got your hands on the brand new flagship smartphone from Samsung, the Galaxy S4, then you’re probably wanting to spend every waking second playing with any and all of its unique features. Naturally, some things do get in the way – us humans have an irritating need to eat and sleep occasionally – so the last thing you’ll want to do is finally get some alone time with your pride and joy, only for the battery to die on you.
Thankfully, here at Mobile Fun, we have the solution. We have a great range of Galaxy S4 chargers available, but the one I’ve gone for (after reading our writer Will’s excellent guide to chargers) , is the appropriately named Masterplug.
I think I’m fairly typical in the way that over the last few years, with the rise of rechargable items and decline of disposable batteries, I’ve found myself using more and more plugs. It seems like just about everything I own needs charging regularly, from my phone to laptop, my MP3 player to my headphones, and that’s where the Masterplug truly comes into its own. It plugs directly into your wall socket and, rather than taking up power supplies, it provides more. As well as giving you a traditional wall socket to replace the one it’s using, it also provides two USB power points, which can all be used at once, meaning you can charge three devices at once without the clutter of tangled wires that you’d get with equivalent devices such as wire splitters.
The Masterplug manages to make sockets sexy, with an attractive blue light reminding you when the product is still on, which also serves as a power saving mechanism. Unlike the behemothic extension cables and the like of years gone by, the Masterplug is compact before you even take into account how much space you’ll save by charging three devices off the one unit. Suffice to say, the Masterplug and the Galaxy S4 are a match made in technological heaven.
