Closer Look
Huntkey ships the SMD 407 in blister packaging with a clear view of the product in the front. Printed in the front are the possible uses and supported products of the SMD 407. The Huntkey SMD 407 comes in various colors as shown here where we have the pink and green variants. Highlighted in the front is the large 2.1A distinction of the SMD 407 which means it can deliver full 2.1 amperes of combined current which means fast-charging for devices plugged into it.
The Huntkey SMD 407 is a single assembly power strip and our samples comes with America standard plug. The front panel is fully colored with the rest of the body molded in white. A small stalk protrudes from the lower part of the backside of the Huntkey SMD 407 which is aimed to rest the outlet flat against the wall when used in a wall socket.
User Experience & Conclusion
Setting up the Huntkey SMD 407 is pretty much a no-brainer: its the literal definition of Plug-and-Play. Just pop it in an outlet and you’re good. The Huntkey SMD 407 will take in compatible plugs, in our case America standard, and a pair USB devices. Do note that some devices may not support charging straight from a different source so be sure to check with your device first. In our testing though, most our gadgets (iPhone 5, LG G3, NVIDIA Tegra Note 7, Xiaomi MiPower 16000mAh, Evoluzn FX PR1, etc.) have all charged rapidly with the SMD 407 making it a very handy replacement charger if you can carry around something its size in your bag.
The Huntkey SMD 407 is a very useful accessory if you have a lot of mobile devices at home. With a total of 4 output lines, you can convert a single wall socket into a power station with a single product. The USB ports on the SMD 407 are quite powerful, charging a 3300 mAh LG G3 to 50% in around 20 minutes. If you’re looking for a versatile charging station for your room or household, the Huntkey SMD 407 is a great choice.
Huntkey backs the SMD 407 power strip with a 1-year warranty. We give it our B2G Recommend Award.

But it looks chessy. Is that made in China?
It is. And to be honest I really had my reservations, but knowing Huntkey still makes power supplies to this day, why the hell not.
Still using the SMD 407 right now and its really, really charges fast and rock solid.
