From the brand
Excelle
Was looking at finding a portable charger small enough without the hassle of annoying charging cables being in the way. Normally, my go to brand is Anker which is normally quite excellent with its products, but felt the price was too high even during Prime Day Deals. I then found this product as an alternative. this manufacturer has been my go-to recently as they have been selling almost the same thing at a much mroe affordable price.
So in terms of charging, it is not fast but charges at a reasonable rate to charge my iPhone. It is slim enough, so I am able to leave it charging whilst it is in my pocket, and the magsafe click lets me know that it hasnt stopped charging abruptly.
Nice and compac
The power bank fits nicely on the back or my S23 Ultra and works great. It’s a slower charge than if plugged into the wall but you expect that with any wireless charger. Overall I’m very happy with i
Light magsafe powerbank that actually charge your phone while using.
I bought this because I want a small magsafe powerbank, not going for those large power capacity and this suits what I want perfectly.
It is quite light for a magsafe powerbank, it’s not too thick(as thick as 3 x 1pound coins), comfortable to hold. I am using it on my pixel 7 with a mouse phone case that makes my phone magsafe, and it hold on to it quite securely if you don’t shake it really really hard. The quality of the material is quite nice. With a simple matt grey appearance.
The wireless charging speed is only 7.5w, pretty slow, but that’s the point on having a small powerbank so you can actually use your phone while charging without an annoying cable. And for the record, your phone battery will slowly go up while you’re using your phone(not doing things that will burn your phone battery). However if you really want fast charging, the usb C port does support 15w.
In conclusion, good for value, a brand you can trust, and perfect fpr anyone who wants a lightweight mess free powerbank.
Perfect little unit!
No issues at all. Does not get hot like some other brands. Yes does get a little warm but of no concerns. Small, lightweight and portable that sits in my bag ready to go. Useful to have the USB-C port that charges it or can deliver power to other non iPhone magnetic MagSafe devices. Have tried it on other brand phones and charges those too, obviously with not magnetically sticking to the phone.
Convenient in a pinch!
Lightweight, and can charge your phone at the same time as it being plugged in, if travelling.
For under 20, it’s really good value for money, and it’s not too big, very good quality too!
Just the job.
The power bank is small and compact. It has a really strong connection magnetically and seems to be sturdy and robust. Easy to use and does the job it was bought for.
I purchased this because I have a trip coming up where I need to might need to top up my battery while still using the phone for photos and navigation.
Initially I purchased UGREEN Power Bank 10,000mAh Model: PB561 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CH33F5P2) which looked to tick all the boxes, 15w wireless charging, USB-C, 10,000 mAh capacity. But when it arrived I was a bit taken back on how heavy and deep/thick it was. I was looking for something that I could attach to my phone and still carry in my pocket.
I’ve included photos of that unit for comparison. This was far more the size I wanted and while the wireless charging was only at a lower rate, I can still use the phone reasonably easily with it attached (mainly navigation and taking photos).
I do have a case on my phone and the pack does stick out slightly but that isn’t an issue for me. It has enough capacity to get my phone charge increased by about 60-70% and using the ‘low power’ mode should be enough to get me through a day.
The build quality seems good, the indicators do a reasonable job of telling you how much is remaining and overall the rounded design means it feels nice to handle. The quality of the materials also make it nice to handle.
In summary, it fits the purpose I bought it for. I wanted something that was small, easy to handle, could charge itself reasonably quickly (using the right charger and cable combination) and would just ‘top-up’ my phones battery.
Negatives:
– Won’t keep my phone charged all day while it is doing high drainage tasks (Wi-Fi sharing for example) , I would use the (10,000mAh Model: PB561) for that.
– MagSafe / Wireless charging speed is 7.5w so needs to be attached for longer to get the battery topped up in comparison to Qi2 Certified 15W Ultra-Fast devices
Positive:
– Feels nice when attached to phone using MagSafe
– Can still carry phone in pocket with this attached without too much discomfort
– Slim in comparison to higher capacity banks (about the same thickness of a phone with a case on it)
– Magnetic attachment is strong
– Indicators give a rough idea of how much there is left
– Fine for what I want, just a top up while not hammering the phones own battery
uGreen at there bes
i got this for myself
it arrived in the standard uGreen box, on removing it is the the quality i have come to expect and love from my uGreen products, its well made and durable and is a compact design makes this a convenient accessory for on-the-go charging. Its magnetic feature allows for a secure and hassle-free attachment to compatible devices, ensuring your gadgets stay powered without the need for cables. The power bank supports PD (Power Delivery) for fast charging, which is a boon for those in a hurry.
In summary, if you’re looking for a wireless power bank that’s easy to carry and use, the UGREEN Nexode MagSafe Power Bank 5000mAh could be a solid choice.
my only small cretic is it can get warm when in use not hot just warm.
I previously had a 10000mah Anker battery and it’s bulky and heavy. This wonderful little ‘right-sized’ unit fits nicely on my iPhone 13 Pro and doesn’t add the bulk and weight. And for keeping a days charge it’s perfect to keep you at 100% battery. I also have a bulky 30000mah power bank in my bag that I can charge this with as needed. Go for it. Two weeks in and it’s doing the job perfectly.
