Power bank charging a phone

Overview

0 to 50% against the clock: we benchmarked eight power banks on current flagships, measuring speed, heat and how many refills each truly holds.

Our top pick halves charging time versus old bricks, stays cool doing it, and squeezes two full flagship charges into a pocketable body.

What our testing covered

  • 0–50% and 0–100% timed on three flagships
  • Surface heat checked under full load
  • True refill count verified, not claimed
  • Pocket and carry comfort ranked

Dead-battery anxiety, solved. Fast, honest capacity in a size you will actually carry.
