Seeing as though power banks are a dime a dozen and there are a billion knock off brands out there, I tend to only trust a few brands that have proved their worth. Here is my review of the newest offering from Tronsmart. I am on the trade in your Samsung every year plan, so this will definitely be useful for any of the upcoming Samsung flagships. It the best of past,present, and future.
Look/Feel
First impressions were very good. The Power Bank was packed well, in the typical Tronsmart purple/white packaging and came with a good quality USB-C to USB A cable for charging the bank itself. The bank itself has a good sturdy feel and seems to be made well and out of quality materials. The matte and glossy black make it look very high end. There are white leds to indicate the remaining power level in the bank. The power button has a nice tactile feel.
Performance
The Volt IQ did a good job of recognizing the my phone and applying an appropriate amount of power. It recognized the various devices I plugged in and adjusted the voltage and amps accordingly (Bluetooth speakers, headphones, droid mini, tablets, etc).
The Power bank charged my S7 Edge with typical QC 2.0 voltage and amps (it supports Quick Charge 3.0, but my phone doesn't).
- The highest I saw was 9V @ 1.62 A.
Overall impressions are excellent, I would buy this product again. It is well made, did not get hot, performs great and looks nice. The 12000mah is plenty to charge my phone 3.5 times from empty to full, or my kiddos tablets 3 times. It is a reasonable size and weight compared to others I have purchased. I have no desire to carry a brick sized power bang with me.This one is ideal for travel, camping, beach trips, or just heavy phone use days. I do wish it came with a USB-C to Micro usb as micro is still the norm and will need a few years to fade out. I'll be ordering one so I can utilize both ports at once.
