The Satechi 40- watt dual USB-C PD car charger powers two devices simultaneously.

Xplora’s X5 Play is a perfect way to introduce children to the world of smartwatches without breaking the bank. The wearable doesn’t have direct internet access, but it is packed with features, including critical safety components.

It runs off Android OS with a Qualcomm chipset, is waterproof with IP68 water-resistant rating, and has an 800 mAh rechargeable battery. With the two megapixel camera, the X5 Play can take and store up to 1,000 pictures in the gallery. A captured image can be used as a custom background.

The Satechi USB-C combo hub adds three USB-A 3.0 data ports and micro/SD memory card readers.
