Moshi Porto 5K, battery and wireless charger, all in one

Moshi always surprises us with everyday products but with a peculiar design that is a house brand. And with its new external battery with wireless charging it was no different. Far from those boring rectangular batteries your Porto Q 5K offers us a practical solution with a careful design.

But this cannot hide all the technology it includes, very wise decisions such as the inclusion of a USB-C connector and an additional USB port to be able to recharge also by cable. All the details, below.

The design of this Moshi Porto Q 5K battery is aptly elongated. With the size and shape of today's smartphones, it is the most successful design, but also opt for a more rounded profile than similar products from other brands. With many similar devices, the difficult thing is to guess the exact position for your iPhone to charge when placing it on top, however the shape of this Porto 5K makes it difficult to place your iPhone wrong.

The upper part is finished in gray textile material (there are no other color options), something that seems to be becoming fashionable and that I personally like, since it looks like anything but a tech gadget, ideal to place it on your desk without attracting attention. A rubber ring prevents your iPhone from sliding while charging on the surface.

Another thing that I appreciate in these devices is that there are no flashy LEDs. Only a few small LEDs on the side that are activated by the button next to it and that indicate the remaining battery in the device, and a front LED that indicates that your iPhone is charging. None of them have an intensity that can disturb, not even in the most absolute darkness.

You can recharge your iPhone or any smartphone compatible with the Qi standard just by placing it on top, but it also has a conventional 2.4A USB port that will allow you to recharge your tablet, a portable speaker or another smartphone. The battery is recharged using a USB-C cable, Another great success to dispense with the increasingly maligned microUSB. BTW, a USB-A to USB-C cable is included in the box. Its 5.000mAh capacity means that you can recharge most smartphones up to twice, and its wireless charging power is 5W.

Speaking of a brand like Moshi, it goes without saying that it complies with all the safety regulations stipulated by the Qi standard, but it also has a security system that prevents recharging your iPhone if there is any object that interferes, such as some metal part that can cause damage to your smartphone. It allows you to recharge your iPhone even with cases up to 5mm thick.

Editor's opinion

Accessories for your smartphone don't have to always have that "boring" look of tech products, or need to attract attention with garish colored LEDs, and Moshi knows how to do that better than anyone. Its Porto Q 5K external battery is a perfect example of this, and with its 5.000mAh capacity it will allow you to recharge your iPhone wherever you are. both wirelessly and via cable. Its price is € 84,95 on the Moshi website (link), with free shipping costs.
