Kingston MobileLite Wireless G3 Pro Review
Kingston a while ago released their Smartphone battery bank cum card reader. Kingston MobileLite Wireless G3 and MobileLite Wireless G3 Pro charges smartphones and tablets faster, with a 2A output charging maximum, and charges phones up to 2x thanks to its 5,400 mAh battery and lets you wirelessly access the contents of a USB drive or SD card. MobileLite Wireless Pro adds a few extra in form of 64GB of built-in storage, extendable via USB drives and SD cards, and up to 2.5x charge via its 6,700 mAh battery. Both the G3 and PRO have premium Japanese battery cells that make the battery more reliable and longer lasting than their competitors.
We received the MobileLite Wireless G3 Pro from Kingston India for review.

Experience While Using
I as a reviewer always had a fascination for portable gadgets like the MobileLite Wireless G3 Pro. So my expectation was pretty high going into the review and the product completely blew me away. The transfer speed was acceptable, the access point feature worked as it should and most of all the app was very intuitive. The product setup was so easy that even my non-techie workmates from the court could do it easily!
The only issue I have with the product is the quality of the cable supplied with the product is not up to my expectation. A product touching the INR 17000 mark(and its worth it) can use an upgraded cable.
Final rating
MobileLite Wireless G3 Pro is a device made for the digital nomad. With a robust feature set and a very user-friendly app that is even in the Amazon app store, it does what it is advertised to do.Multiple Storage device interface options, charging speeds which surprisingly is quite close to the advertised numbers, the device is a winner in our eyes. Keep a lookout for the MobileLite Wireless G3 if you are in the market for such a device. A well-deserved Silver for the MobileLite Wireless G3 Pro.
