The Luxa2 TX-P1 power bank is an odd one, if you're buying it for the novelty of wireless charging then it works fine, albeit slowly. However, if want to charge your phone a couple of times a day or don't want to worry about plugging your phone in so often, then you're going to be disappointed.

The 5000mAh battery inside the power bank takes around 7 hours to charge and theoretically, it should be able to charge up the Samsung Galaxy SIII multiple times before having to be plugged in.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the case and we had to charge up the TX-P1 right after getting our phone from 0%-100% just once. This eliminates the main benefit of having this product as you will still have to charge the TX-P1 almost as often as your phone.

I will note that your mileage may vary, QI compatible phones may perform better and the same goes for newer devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Unfortunately, we have been unable to test this in time for the review.

The TX-P1 will have an MSRP of £34.99, which is a fair price for a wireless power bank. However, if you're a Samsung user, then you will have to pick up the wireless receiver for £9.99. The TX-P1 can be found on Amazon right now from a third party reseller, however, we would advise waiting a couple of week until Amazon has its own stock at the correct price.

KitGuru Says: A competitively priced wireless solution that runs out of power a little too fast for our liking.
