I’d venture to guess that most of us these days are toting around more than one device at a time. If you’re within the Apple ecosystem, that might mean an iPhone and Apple Watch.

The elago Mini Charging Hub arrives as a low-profile (and low-cost way) to do both. We’ve explored some of elago’s offerings before on Tested, but this will be the first all-in-one charging solution. A quick overview, hands-on review, and pricing information can all be found below.
