Pros & Cons

Baseus PicoGo AM52 Qi2.2

Pros

  • +Qi2.2 at 25W is genuinely twice as fast as the 'MagSafe compatible' 7.5W pucks it sits beside on Amazon
  • +45W wired output as well, so it is not wireless-only
  • +Light for a magnetic bank at 197g

Cons

  • Only five LED dots rather than a percentage readout
  • Baseus publishes mAh but no watt-hour figure
  • 25W wireless requires a phone that supports Qi2.2 — older iPhones fall back to 15W
  • Single USB-C port

Pros

  • +The integrated cable is the single most useful feature in a pocket power bank
  • +Colour screen is clearer than any LED-dot rival
  • +Anker's warranty and support are the best in the category

Cons

  • 30W total is modest — 24W once two devices are attached
  • 215g is heavy for 10,000mAh
  • Anker publishes mAh but not watt-hours, so airline compliance has to be inferred
  • Three years old with no refresh
