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

INIU Carry P50-E1

Pros

  • +45W is enough to charge a phone at full speed and top up a small laptop
  • +The lanyard cable means you can leave a separate cable at home
  • +Only 160g
  • +Digital percentage rather than four LED dots

Cons

  • No confirmed standalone Amazon listing could be matched to this exact model number — INIU runs several near-identical 45W 10,000mAh SKUs, so verify the model before buying
  • Output drops to 15W shared when several devices are attached
  • Pass-through charging is not documented by INIU
