Mogix portable battery charger scores huge applause in Craving Tech review

| December 14, 2015

The external power bank has received yet another rave review as tech experts love its dual USB ports.

The Mogix portable battery charger is making tech news once again as it has received another fantastic review, this time from Craving Tech (cravingtech.com), which was taken by the dual USB ports that allow for 2.5A and 2.1A simultaneous device charging.

Craving Tech underscored the fact that many of us depend on multiple gadgets on any given day.

As a result, the review showed that running out of battery has become a problem that is faced from multiple directions instead of only one. It’s not just a matter of running out of juice in a smartphone anymore. Now people are watching the batteries drain in their smartphones (sometimes more than one of them), tablets and even wearables. Therefore, while many people have started carrying a portable battery charger to help to keep their tech gadgets up and running, the Mogix 10,400mAh power bank provides an added advantage by allowing two devices to charge at once.

With the Mogix portable battery charger, two phones or a smartphone and a tablet can charge at the same time.

It was also careful to point out that the typical charger output is usually around 2.1A or even 1A, which means that the Mogix external battery charger is faster than most comparable devices when using its main USB port and it will at least match them when using its secondary port.

The Craving Tech reviewer, Michael Aulia, was able to charge his iPhone 6S and iPad Air at the same time. He was also able to recharge his Huawei Smart Band and his Huawei P8 Lite simultaneously.

Aulia pointed out that the portable battery charger has an automatic shut-off feature, which is handy in saving power when the device is not in use but when it has been accidentally left on. Moreover, it also has LED lights that were found to be useful in knowing just how much charge was actually left within the power bank. That said, with 10,400mAh available, “When I tested the portable charger to charge my devices, I realised that this charger could go on and on without emptying its juice out,” said Aulia.

Samsung swaps mobile tech chiefs in the face of struggles

| December 8, 2015

For the first time in 6 years, the consumer electronics giant has made a change in this critical position.

While Samsung has not at all seen a stoppage in its mobile tech sales, and while it continues to be one of the top smartphone manufacturers worldwide, the company has been facing some sizeable pressures on its business, particularly from competition such as Huawei and Xiaomi.

As a result, the company has changed its mobile communications president as it develops a new strategy.

This is the first time in six years that the company has changed the head of its mobile tech. This means that JK Shin, a 59 year old who has been holding that position for over half a decade, will be on his way out. He is being replaced by Dongjin Koh, who is 54 and was previously the head of mobile Research and Development for the company. He was the one at the wheel when Samsung developed Tizen, its own mobile operating system. He was also leading the way with the Samsung Pay mobile payments platform for which the company has high hopes.

This change in mobile tech leadership doesn’t mean that Shin will be stepping completely out of the company.

Samsung New Mobile Tech ChiefInstead, this is being considered as a shuffle within the company instead of one leader stepping up while another leaves altogether. Shin is exceptionally experienced as an executive within this market. He is behind the rise of Samsung’s smartphone business and at the same time, he is also the one who was in command as the more recent challenges fell into place.

For Shin, this will mean that he will be stepping out of the day-to-day mobile technology operations of the company. He will be focusing his attention on tasks of a more long-term planning nature. His goal will be to come up with a strategy that will allow the company to rebuild and rejuvenate its mobile business, which has been struggling to see the type of growth that it has experienced in the past.

It is also important to point out that mobile tech leadership wasn’t Shin’s only role in the company. He was, and remains, the co-CEO of Samsung Electronics. Clearly, this move is not being made to remove him from the company, but rather to freshen its perspective.
