If you’ve ever stood in an airport security line frantically Googling whether your brick-sized portable charger is going to get you pulled aside, you’re not alone. Power banks are the lifeblood of modern travel, keeping our phones, tablets, and laptops alive during grueling layovers and cross-country flights. But as battery capacities have ballooned, so have the safety regulations.

In 2026, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and global aviation authorities have cracked down harder than ever on lithium-ion batteries. The era of tossing a massive, unbranded battery pack into your suitcase is over. If you don’t know the rules, you risk losing your expensive gear to a TSA bin forever.

Here is your ultimate guide to flying with power banks in 2026, complete with the math you need to know, airline-specific quirks, and the best flight-approved chargers you can buy right now.

The Quick Rule of Thumb

Don’t have time to read the fine print before boarding? Here is your 30-second survival guide:

Carry-on Only: Zero power banks are allowed in checked luggage. Period. If you check a bag with a power bank inside, it will be removed, and your bag might be delayed.

The Magic Number is 100Wh: Batteries under 100Wh (roughly 26,800 mAh) are allowed by default.

The Two-Unit Limit: The 2026 ICAO baseline restricts passengers to a maximum of two power banks total.

Do Not Plug Into the Plane: You are strictly prohibited from recharging your power bank using the in-seat aircraft power outlets. (Charging your phone from the plane is fine; charging the battery pack from the plane is a fire hazard).

The mAh to Wh Calculator

Aviation regulators don’t care about milliamp-hours (mAh), which is how power banks are marketed. They care about Watt-hours (Wh). To figure out if your charger is legal, you have to do a little math.

Here is the formula:

Wh = (mAh × 3.7) / 1000

Most power banks operate at a nominal voltage of 3.7V. If your power bank doesn’t explicitly list the Wh rating on the chassis, use this cheat sheet:

• 10,000 mAh = 37 Wh (Totally safe)
• 20,000 mAh = 74 Wh (Totally safe)
• 26,800 mAh = ≈99.1 Wh (The absolute maximum allowed without airline permission)
• 30,000 mAh+ = 111 Wh (Danger zone. Requires prior airline approval, and anything over 160 Wh is globally banned).

Master Airline Comparison Table (2026 Rules)

While the ICAO sets the baseline, individual airlines can (and do) enforce stricter rules. Some carriers have outright banned using power banks to charge devices while in the air due to thermal runaway fears. Others have slashed the unit limit down to one.

Note: If your power bank has a capacity between 101 Wh and 160 Wh, you must contact the airline before your flight to obtain written approval.

The Seizure Trap: Why Security Confiscates Power Banks

Even if your battery is perfectly legal, airport security can still confiscate it. The number one reason? The label is worn off.

TSA and international security agents are trained to look for the printed Wh or mAh rating on the device. If you’ve had your power bank for years and the text has rubbed off from tumbling around in your backpack, security will assume it exceeds the limit and throw it in the trash. There is no arguing your way out of this.

Other reasons for confiscation include exposed or damaged ports, swollen chassis (spicy pillows), and exceeding the airline’s strict unit count.

Best Flight-Approved Power Banks (2026 Buyer’s Guide)

If your current charger is looking a little worse for wear, or you just want to guarantee you won’t get hassled at the security checkpoint, here are the best flight-approved power banks you can buy right now. We’ve curated the top tier of Anker’s 2026 lineup, perfectly tailored for the modern traveler.

The Pocket/Daily Driver: Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim)

Specs: 10,000 mAh | ≈37 Wh | 15W Qi2 Wireless Charging

Why we love it: If you hate carrying cables, this is your holy grail. It is an ultra-slim magnetic power bank that snaps right onto the back of your MagSafe-compatible iPhone. Thanks to the Qi2 standard, it delivers up to 15W of wireless power, matching the charging speed of official Apple MagSafe chargers, while keeping thermals incredibly low. At just 37 Wh, it falls comfortably within TSA’s 100 Wh limit and easily slips into a front pocket or a crowded sling bag.

The Travel All-Rounder: Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W)

Specs: 25,000 mAh | 90 Wh | 165W Total Output

Why we love it: This is the sweet spot for digital nomads. At 90 Wh, it sits comfortably below the 100 Wh airline limit while packing enough capacity to charge a 15-inch MacBook Air from zero to full. The best part? It features two built-in retractable USB-C cables, so you never have to worry about forgetting your charging cable in a hotel room again. With a maximum single-port output of 100W and a smart display that shows real-time battery and charging statistics, it makes an excellent travel companion.

The Max Legal Capacity: Anker Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W)

Specs: 26,250 mAh | ≈97 Wh | 300W Total Output

Why we love it: If you want to get as close as possible to the airline’s 100 Wh limit without entering the category that requires prior airline approval, the Anker Prime 26K is an absolute powerhouse. It features an impressive 300W total output, allowing you to fast-charge two laptops and a phone simultaneously. Even more impressive is its 250W dual-port input. When connected to two compatible high-speed chargers, it can recharge to 50% in just 13 minutes. It also features Bluetooth app control, allowing you to monitor real-time charging statistics from your phone. It is an excellent choice for travelers who need maximum charging power while staying within the standard 100 Wh limit.

The post Can I fly with this power bank? Airline-by-airline rules for 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

It is late 2026, and if you look around on your morning commute, you will notice something fundamentally different about how people are listening to music. The sea of intrusive silicone tips and noise-canceling vacuums has receded. In their place is a wave of metallic cuffs, sleek C-bridges, and colorful clips hugging the edges of people’s ears. Open-ear audio, specifically the clip-on form factor, has officially taken over the consumer tech space.

We have spent the last few years watching companies try to perfect the balance between ambient awareness and high-fidelity audio. Now, the hardware has finally caught up to the ambition. Whether you hate the feeling of plugged ears, want to stay aware of traffic on your run, or just want to wear your tech like a piece of jewelry, there has never been a better time to buy in.

Here is our list of the top 10 best open earbuds you can buy in 2026, broken down one by one.

Samsung Galaxy Buds On

Samsung’s first clip-on earbuds look like the obvious choice if you already own a Galaxy phone, tablet, or laptop. The Galaxy Buds On combine an open-ear design with features that are especially useful inside Samsung’s ecosystem, including automatic audio switching between compatible devices.

Samsung says it used AI-assisted optimization and more than 119 million ear data points to refine the fit. That’s an impressive number, but it won’t tell you whether the flexible band feels comfortable on your ear. Fit remains personal, especially with a design you’re likely to wear for hours.

Each earbud has an 11.3mm driver, three microphones, and a voice pickup unit that detects speech through bone and skin movement. Samsung also uses reversed sound waves to reduce leakage, while an adaptive volume feature responds to changes in surrounding noise.

The software features are extensive: hands-free Gemini Live, head gestures for calls, voice commands, and Quick Voice Memo for capturing and transcribing thoughts. Samsung rates battery life at up to 9.5 hours per charge and 38 hours with the case. The earbuds have an IP54 rating and support wireless charging.

They’re scheduled to reach the US in early November, with a European rollout planned for early 2027. At $229, the Buds On aren’t cheap, but their Galaxy integration could make the premium worthwhile for existing Samsung users.

Price: $229

Anker Soundcore AeroClip 2

The AeroClip 2 makes a bold pitch: it’s a pair of open-ear earbuds built to make your voice sound clear, even when the environment isn’t.

Anker points to a Guinness World Records certification for an objective speech-quality score among open-ear clip-on earbuds. The hardware behind that claim includes four microphones and two voice pickup units, plus the company’s Thus AI chip. Anker says the system can isolate speech in noisy settings and pick up quieter voices, though real-world results will depend on the environment and fit.

There’s plenty beyond calls. The AeroClip 2 has 12mm drivers, LDAC support, personalized EQ through Soundcore’s HearID feature, and a 3D spatial audio mode. It also offers multipoint connectivity and app-based translation in more than 100 languages.

The earbuds weigh 6.2 grams each and are rated IP57 for dust and water resistance. Battery life is listed at eight hours per charge and 32 hours with the case; a 10-minute charge promises up to four hours of playback.

At $169.99, they occupy a useful middle ground: considerably less expensive than Samsung’s or Bose’s options, but with an unusually ambitious calling feature set.

Price: $169.99

Baseus Inspire XC1

Baseus is packing a lot of audio branding into the Inspire XC1. There’s Sound by Bose tuning technology, Dolby Audio, LDAC, and a hybrid driver system that combines a 10.8mm dynamic driver with a balanced armature.

That combination makes the XC1 an intriguing option for listeners who care about sound quality but don’t want to spend $300. It also shows how quickly the open-ear category has moved beyond simple convenience-focused designs. Whether the tuning delivers on its promise is something you’d need to hear for yourself.

The XC1 supports multipoint connectivity and uses four microphones for calls. Baseus rates playback at around eight hours on the earbuds and 40 hours with the charging case. The earbuds also have an IP66 rating, though that protection doesn’t apply to the case.

The quoted battery figure comes from testing at 50% volume with Bass Boost and Dolby Audio turned off, so expect different results if you use those features. LDAC is also intended for compatible Android devices, not iPhones.

Price: $83.99-$112.49

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds 2nd Gen

Bose’s second-generation Ultra Open Earbuds are the most expensive pair on this list, and they make a case for themselves with design and audio features rather than a long checklist of AI tools.

The cuff-style earbuds use Bose’s OpenAudio technology and an adjustable flex joint. Bose promises deeper bass and louder output than the first generation, along with immersive listening options that include Stereo, Immersion, and Cinema modes.

There’s also Bluetooth multipoint, wireless charging, and up to nine hours of battery life on the earbuds. Bose says its SpeechClarity technology improves calls.

The catch is the price. At $299, these need to appeal on comfort, sound, and style, because several less expensive competitors offer longer quoted battery life or more extensive smart features. Bose offers a 30-day return policy when purchased directly, which makes it easier to see whether the fit works for you.

Price: $299

Sony LinkBuds Clip

The Sony LinkBuds Clip (full review) uses 10mm drivers, supports Bluetooth multipoint, and weighs approximately 6.4 grams each. The included Air Fitting Cushions help you adjust the fit, which can make a difference when comfort varies from person to person.

You can switch between three listening modes with a double tap. Standard mode is intended for everyday use, Voice Boost makes voices easier to hear in noisy places, and Sound Leakage Reduction helps limit how much audio escapes in quieter spaces.

Battery life is rated at up to nine hours on the earbuds and 37 hours with the case. The IPX4 rating covers water resistance, but there is no stated dust rating. Codec support is limited to SBC and AAC, so you’ll need to look elsewhere if you want LDAC.

Price: $229.99

CMF Clip Pro

The CMF Clip Pro brings a characteristically Nothing-like twist to the category: a Smart Dial on the charging case. It rotates to control volume, playback, and calls, and can also initiate pairing. The earbuds themselves use tactile buttons that CMF says are easy to operate with gloves.

For $99, the specifications are competitive. You get 10.8mm drivers, LDAC support, dual-device connectivity, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, and four microphones for calls. Each earbud weighs 5.92 grams and has an IP54 rating.

CMF rates battery life at 10 hours for music and 6.5 hours for calls, while a 10-minute charge provides up to four hours of playback.

For buyers who want practical controls and broad codec support without crossing the $100 mark, it looks like a strong contender.

Price: $99

Xiaomi Clip-On Earbuds

Xiaomi’s first clip-on earbuds weigh just 5.5 grams each and use a memory titanium wire bridge. The company says the design is tuned to stay secure without putting too much pressure on the ear.

Inside are 11mm dynamic drivers and support for the LHDC 5.0 codec on compatible devices. Xiaomi also uses directional sound transmission and reverse sound waves to reduce leakage. For calls, there’s a three-microphone array and a bone-conduction microphone.

The IP57-rated earbuds promise nine hours of playback per charge and 38 hours with the case. Xiaomi adds a collection of AI features, including translation for 21 languages, transcription, and summaries through its XiaoAI assistant. iOS users also get support for Apple’s Find My network.

The earbuds are currently available only in China, but we expect them to reach global markets later this year or sometime next year. For now, interested buyers will have to import them from China.

Price: 849 Yuan ($124)

Redmi Clip Neo

The Redmi Clip Neo strips the open-ear formula down to the essentials without looking particularly bare-bones. At approximately $60 in its home market, it has 12mm drivers, customizable physical buttons, dual-device connectivity, and a 10-band equalizer.

Each earbud weighs 5.3 grams, and the C-shaped bridge uses a memory titanium wire wrapped in silicone. Redmi says either earbud can be worn on either side, while wear detection automatically pauses and resumes playback.

The compromises are predictable. You get SBC and AAC rather than a higher-resolution codec, and the two-microphone call setup is less elaborate than those found on some pricier models. Battery life is rated at seven hours per charge and 32 hours with the case.

Some assistant and finding features require compatible Xiaomi software, though the earbuds also work with iPhones through the Xiaomi Earbuds app. Just like Xiaomi’s pricier pair, these earbuds are not yet available globally, but we expect them to reach international markets later this year or sometime next year.

Price: 399 Yuan ($60)

OnePlus Buds Clip

The OnePlus Buds Clip has one of the most promising spec sheets in the category. Its Dynaudio-tuned system pairs an 11mm woofer with a 9mm tweeter, and OnePlus uses reverse sound waves to help reduce leakage.

The earbuds feature a symmetrical design that allows users to wear either bud on either ear. They automatically detect their position and adjust the stereo channels accordingly, which comes in handy when putting them on quickly. Each earbud weighs just 5.2 grams and comes with an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance.

OnePlus claims up to 9.5 hours of playback per charge and 40 hours with the case. Those figures drop to eight and 36 hours with LHDC enabled. There’s also Bluetooth 6.1, multipoint connectivity, swipe volume controls, and translation through a compatible OnePlus phone.

The missing piece is price. Until OnePlus announces it, the Buds Clip is easier to admire on paper than recommend over a known-value alternative.

Price: Not announced yet

Huawei FreeClip 2

The FreeClip 2 (full review) combines a lightweight 5.1-gram design with automatic left-right recognition and an IP57 rating. Its flexible C-bridge uses liquid silicone and memory metal, while a 10.8mm dual-diaphragm driver handles audio.

The feature list includes adaptive volume, spatial audio with head tracking, head gestures, translation, and Huawei’s Xiaoyi assistant. Some of those features are tied to Huawei’s software ecosystem, so they may be less compelling if you use another brand of phone.

Battery life is rated at nine hours per charge and 38 hours with the case. Huawei also says a 10-minute charge can provide around three hours of listening.

The new dual-color edition adds bright two-tone finishes and matching accessory rings without changing the core hardware. It’s a distinctive choice if you want your earbuds to look less like a gadget and more like something you deliberately accessorized with.

Price: 1,299 yuan ($195)

Anker’s new Nano Charger Neo is $19.99 on Amazon as of Tuesday morning US time. That is 23% off its $25.99 list price, sold by AnkerDirect with free Prime delivery. It only launched in the US in late September at $25.99, so this is $6 off a three-week-old product. During Prime Big Deal Days (6 to 8 October), it dipped to $18.19, $1.80 below today’s price.

Check Anker Nano Charger Neo Price on Amazon

The Neo is a single USB-C charger with one trick. It is rated 45W for normal use but uses AVS (Adjustable Voltage Supply) to push up to 65W to devices that ask for it, such as iPhone 18 Pro models and MacBooks.

Anker claims the Nano Charger Neo takes an iPhone 18 Pro Max to 80% in 32 minutes and an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 60% in 30 minutes. In Anker’s tests, the 18 Pro Max hit a peak of 47C (117F). You also get ActiveShield 4.0 temperature monitoring, a 180-degree foldable plug tested to four folds a day for eight years, and an 18-month warranty.

Should you buy the Neo?

Yes, if you charge one device at a time. At $19.99 this is the charger to buy for one iPhone 18 Pro, a Pixel, a Galaxy phone or a small laptop. Apple’s 40W Dynamic Power Adapter does the same trick for $15 more and stops at 60W.

Two catches. It has one port, so it will not charge a phone and a watch together. And the 65W is a burst, not a sustained rating. Anker says power drops gradually after about 20 minutes at 65W, and it does not say where it settles.

Need two ports? The Anker Nano 65W 3-port at $29.99 is the better buy. If not, buy the Neo. All colors are $19.99 today.

Other chargers on Amazon

• Ugreen Nexode Air 65W is $24.99 (list $39.99) and includes a cable. Ugreen also launched a three-port 65W GaN charger in June.
• Anker Nano 65W 3-port is $29.99 for multi-device desks, a cousin of the Anker Nano 3-port 70W we covered last year.
• Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is $34.99 (list $39) if you insist on Apple’s own.

Anker has recently announced the SOLIX S5000, a portable power station with a 5,024Wh battery that will go on sale in the US on October 27. It has a list price of $3,599.99, but Anker is offering it for $2,499.99 at launch through its own store and Amazon. Buyers can also sign up for early access to get a discount pack worth $1,799, according to the company.

Anker claims the SOLIX S5000 is the longest-lasting 5kWh power station in its class, based on its internal tests against selected competitors. The company says it can power a fridge, Wi-Fi router, coffee maker, lights and phone for up to 48 hours on a single charge. A fridge alone can run for up to 86 hours, while a window AC unit can run for up to 25 hours. These are Anker’s estimates, so actual runtime will depend on the devices connected and how much power they use.

Anker SOLIX S5000 offers 4,500W output and multiple charging options

The SOLIX S5000 has a rated output of 4,500W, with peak output reaching 8,000W. It supports both 120V and 240V appliances, with an L14-30R outlet, a TT-30R outlet for RV equipment, NEMA 5-20R outlets, USB-A, and a 100W USB-C port. It can also work as a UPS, switching to battery power within 10ms of a grid outage. Anker rates its operating noise at 30dB, while idle power consumption on the 120V output is 8.8W.

Despite its large battery, the SOLIX S5000 weighs 97 lb (about 44kg) and measures 10.6 x 22 x 15.2 inches. It has built-in wheels and a pull rod to make it easier to move around. Anker says it is lighter than the Anker SOLIX F3800, which has a smaller 3,840Wh battery and was introduced through Kickstarter in 2023.

Inside, the power station uses 314Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. Anker rates the battery for 6,000 charge cycles before it reaches 80% of its original capacity, or 10,000 cycles before dropping to 60%. The company estimates a lifespan of around 15 years with one or two cycles per day, although its product coverage lasts five years. The SOLIX S5000 also carries UL 9540 and UL 9540A certifications.

Charging tops out at 4,300W for a single unit, and Anker says a full charge takes 99 minutes. AC input is 1,800W from a 120V outlet and 4,500W from a 240V one. There are also two solar inputs rated for up to 1,000W and 2,000W, respectively, along with a generator input that supports up to 4,500W.

For users who need more capacity, the SOLIX S5000 supports expansion batteries. Anker lists configurations ranging from 5kWh to 30kWh with up to five additional batteries, although it has not provided prices for the expansion options on its product page.

The SOLIX S5000 is considerably larger than the 1,056Wh Anker SOLIX C1000, which launched in the UK and EU in 2023. For now, Anker has only announced US availability for the new model, with no word on a launch in other markets.

Eufy, Anker’s smart home brand, has launched the Eufy Video Doorbell S4 for $299.99. The company calls it the world’s first smart doorbell with VR viewing. Instead of looking through a small, fixed video window, you get a panoramic view of your doorstep that you can look around in.

The camera has a 180-degree field of view both horizontally and vertically, and it uses AI to keep visitors in the frame.

How the VR mode works

When someone presses the doorbell, your phone shows a notification that looks like an incoming call. Answer it, and you enter a full-screen VR view of the panoramic camera feed.

You can move your phone around to look in different directions, or use a VR headset if you have one. Two-way voice also works in this mode, so you can talk to the visitor while checking what is happening around them.

Specifications

Here is what the Eufy Video Doorbell S4 offers:

• Resolution: 3072×3072, roughly 9 megapixels
• Video: 3K HDR at up to 24 FPS
• Field of view: 180 degrees horizontally and vertically
• Zoom: up to 8x
• Night vision: Color night vision with dual spotlights
• AI tracking: Eufy OmniTrack
• Motion detection: Radar and dual PIR infrared sensors, with detection up to 8 meters
• Detection types: People, movement, packages, and faces
• Smart home support: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit

Camera and tracking

The 3072×3072 image sensor and wide-angle lens are designed to keep a visitor’s entire body in view, while also showing anything left on the doorstep. The wide field of view means you can see more of the entrance without needing multiple cameras.

Eufy’s OmniTrack AI system then takes care of people tracking. When it detects someone, it follows them within the panoramic view and automatically crops the image to keep them centered. That gives you a closer view of the visitor without losing the wider view around them.

Motion detection and lighting

For motion detection, the Eufy Video Doorbell S4 combines radar with two PIR infrared sensors. The radar can detect movement from up to 8 meters away, while the PIR sensors cover the area closer to the entrance.

The doorbell can detect people, general movement, packages, and faces. There is also a welcome light that turns on with a warm glow when someone approaches the door.

The Video Doorbell S4 works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. However, HomeKit support requires the separate HomeBase S380 gateway, so Apple Home users will need to factor that into the total cost.

The VR viewing and OmniTrack features also require the official eufy app. In other words, connecting the doorbell to Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit won’t give you access to those two features on their own.

Eufy has taken simpler approaches with some of its earlier doorbells. The Video Doorbell E340, for example, later received a wireless chime add-on that lets users get an audible alert when the doorbell detects motion, without having to open the app.

The company has also combined a doorbell with a smart lock before with the Eufy Video Smart Lock, which we reviewed in 2022.

Price

The Eufy Video Doorbell S4 costs $299.99. At that price, the panoramic camera and VR viewing are its main differentiators from more conventional video doorbells.

The post Anker launches new video doorbell it claims is the first with VR viewing appeared first on Gizmochina.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max support MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging at up to 25W. Apple says the phones can reach 50% in about 30 minutes when using a MagSafe charger with a 35W or higher power adapter. That’s a notable increase from the 15W limit that MagSafe accessories used for most of the past few years.

There is one important detail, though. To get the full 25W wireless charging speed, the power bank needs to support the newer Qi2.2 standard. Older Qi2 power banks rated at 15W will still attach to the phone and charge it, but they won’t reach the newer 25W limit.

Here are five power banks that support the newer 25W standard, all released or updated within the past two months. There’s also one slimmer option that trades charging speed for a smaller design.

Baseus PicoGo AM52 (Dark Cherry Collection)

Baseus recently added a Dark Cherry version of its existing PicoGo AM52, designed to match the iPhone 18 Pro’s Burgundy finish. The hardware remains the same as the standard model, with a 10,000mAh battery, 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging, and a 45W USB-C port for wired charging.

That means you can charge the iPhone wirelessly while also using the USB-C port for another device, such as AirPods. The power bank also has a built-in USB-C cable and supports up to 30W input when it’s time to recharge the pack itself.

The exterior uses silicone instead of hard plastic. According to Baseus, the material provides more grip against the back of the phone, which can help keep the magnetic connection in place.

UGreen MagFlow Pro

UGreen’s MagFlow Pro is another 10,000mAh option, but its main difference is the cooling system. The company says it is the first power bank to use micro-pump liquid cooling, combining a phase-change material with a coolant loop to move heat away from the charging surface.

It supports 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging, along with 45W wired charging through its built-in cable and another 45W USB-C port. UGreen says its testing recorded peak temperatures up to 10°C lower than an industry benchmark of roughly 48°C. That result comes from UGreen’s own testing conditions, so it shouldn’t be treated as an independent measurement.

The MagFlow Pro was introduced at IFA 2026 in Berlin on September 4. At $149.99, it’s also the most expensive power bank in this group.

Anker MagGo 2 Pro Magnetic Power Bank

Anker’s newer MagGo 2 Pro, model A110R, combines 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging with a small internal fan called SnapCool. The system is designed to keep the charging surface below 96.8°F (36°C).

Anker says that figure was measured with an iPhone 17 Pro at a 77°F ambient temperature, so the actual temperature can vary depending on the phone, room temperature, and other conditions.

For wired charging, the power bank has a 45W USB-C port. Anker says it can charge a device through the USB-C port and the wireless pad at the same time without reducing the speed of either connection.

There’s also a color display on the side that shows the remaining battery percentage, surface temperature, and battery health. A fold-out stand can be adjusted to an angle of up to 80 degrees.

The MagGo 2 Pro is listed at $109.99 and is currently available for pre-order, with shipping scheduled to begin September 28.

Belkin UltraCharge Slim 10K

Belkin’s 10,000mAh UltraCharge Slim 10K also supports 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging. For wired charging, it has a 30W USB-C port.

Belkin says the power bank can charge an iPhone 17 Pro from 0 to 50 percent in 39 minutes when using the wireless pad. Like the other figures in this list, that’s a manufacturer-provided result and depends on the test setup.

The bank also supports 30W pass-through charging. You can plug the power bank into a wall adapter while the phone is attached, allowing both the bank and the phone to charge at the same time.

The UltraCharge Slim 10K launched in late June and is priced at £69.99.

Baseus PicoGo AM71 (Dark Cherry Collection)

The PicoGo AM71 comes in the same Dark Cherry finish as the AM52, but the two power banks are designed for different priorities.

The AM71 is only 6.9mm thick and has a 5,000mAh battery. Its wireless charging tops out at 15W, while wired charging reaches 22.5W, so it doesn’t offer the 25W Qi2.2 charging available from the other newer models in this list.

A short USB-C to USB-C cable is included, and the power bank supports up to 20W input for recharging.

If you want something thinner and lighter for carrying around, the AM71 makes more sense than choosing a larger 10,000mAh pack. The trade-off is lower capacity and slower wireless charging.

What to check before buying

If you’re buying one of these power banks for an iPhone 18 Pro or 18 Pro Max, check the specifications carefully. The listing should specifically mention Qi2.2 and 25W. Terms such as “MagSafe compatible” or simply “Qi2” aren’t enough, since older Qi2 power banks can still attach magnetically and charge the phone but are limited to 15W.

It’s also worth checking the wired output. A 45W USB-C port can be useful for charging a laptop in a pinch, while a 20W port is mainly suited to phones and smaller devices.

Charging times and temperature figures should also be treated as test results rather than guarantees. Manufacturers usually measure them with a specific phone, ambient temperature, adapter, and other conditions, so real-world results can vary.

Battery capacity is another number that can be misleading. A 10,000mAh power bank will typically deliver around 5,500 to 6,500mAh of usable charge to a phone after conversion losses. In other words, the printed 10,000mAh figure doesn’t mean you’ll get 10,000mAh directly into the phone’s battery.

For the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, the main thing to look for is therefore the Qi2.2 certification and 25W output if you want to make use of the phones’ newer wireless charging limit.

Packing a laptop, phone, and earbuds usually means carrying three different chargers. Anker’s new Travel Charging Station is designed to cut that down to one. It has a 150W power output and can charge up to six devices at the same time. It is now available to pre-order in the US for $79.99.

The compact size also makes it easier to carry. It measures 5.9 x 2.7 x 0.87 inches and weighs 0.64 lb. That makes it slightly shorter and narrower than the iPhone 17, while its thickness is close to an AirPods Pro case. Anker says it is also lighter than a full 330mL soda can.

The charging station comes with a flat, braided power cable and a 90-degree foldable plug that sits flat when packed. It supports 100-240V input, so you can use it with wall outlets in different countries.

Anker Travel Charging Station Specifications

The charging station has four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports in a body roughly the size of a deck of cards.

The USB-C1 and USB-C2 ports can each deliver up to 100W, which is enough for most USB-C laptops and handheld devices. Anker says this includes full-speed charging for a MacBook Pro. The USB-C3 and USB-C4 ports support up to 45W, while both USB-A ports provide up to 12W.

When multiple devices are connected, Anker’s PowerIQ 4.0 technology automatically divides the available 150W between them based on their power needs. This means you don’t have to manually figure out which device should use each port. Anker used a similar system on its 7-in-1 Nano Charging Station earlier this year, although that model also had a built-in LCD screen.

For safety, the Travel Charging Station uses Anker’s ActiveShield 4.0 system, which monitors the internal temperature more than 10 million times per day. It also has seven layers of protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, and short circuits.

One thing to keep in mind is that charging cables are not included. You’ll need to bring your own USB-C and USB-A cables to use all six ports.

The station is available in Iron Gray and Radiant White. Anker currently lists a pre-order shipping window of September 25 to October 5.

The post Anker launches 6-in-1 150W Travel Charging Station that’s the size of a deck of cards appeared first on Gizmochina.

Anker is no stranger to gaming-themed products. The company has previously released Black Myth: Wukong versions of its Prime Docking Station and Prime Power Bank. Now, it is teaming up with Riot Games for a limited-edition Valorant collection.

The new lineup includes special versions of Anker’s latest desktop hub and 100W laptop charger. Unlike a typical gaming collaboration that simply adds a logo or printed design, Anker has built the Valorant theme into the devices’ displays.

Valorant Agents appear on the built-in displays

Both accessories come with built-in smart displays, which Anker is using to show Valorant-themed interfaces. The desktop hub will let you switch between up to eight Agent-themed designs, while the laptop charger will show matching chibi-style versions of the characters.

Jett will be the default Agent when the devices ship. Phoenix and Killjoy will be added through an over-the-air update in October. Anker’s promotional video also shows five locked character slots. Based on their silhouettes, they appear to be Viper, Cypher, Chamber, Omen, and Reyna. Anker says these characters will arrive in future updates.

The displays are still useful beyond the Valorant artwork. You can use them to check the time, view charging information, and run a focus timer.

The hardware itself also keeps the same features as the regular versions. The desktop hub has a 10-in-1 setup with data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, DisplayPort 2.1, SD and microSD card readers, and built-in cable management.

The 100W charger can automatically detect the connected device and choose the appropriate charging mode.

A Valorant gift box for early buyers

Anker is also offering a special Valorant gift box for buyers who want the full collector’s package. The box features a large embossed “ACE” graphic and includes several themed accessories.

Inside, you get a Wingman plush keychain, an earbud pouch inspired by the in-game Spike, a tote bag covered in character sketches, and a sheet of chibi stickers.

However, the gift box is limited to the first 1,000 customers who buy either the Valorant desktop hub or charger after sales begin.

There is also a condition if you decide to return the product. The gift box and its contents must be returned with the hub or charger. If you keep the merchandise, Anker says it will deduct the retail value of the gift box from your refund.

Early access sign-ups are now open on Anker’s website and will close on September 21 at 11:59 PM PDT. Sales will begin one minute later, on September 22.

Anker has already revealed the prices of the regular versions. The desktop hub will launch on September 10 for around $85, while the 100W charger will arrive on September 17 for €59.99.

The company has not revealed pricing for the Valorant editions yet. It should be announced when sales officially begin on September 22.

Anker just dropped the AeroClip 2, their latest open-ear clip earbuds, and they’re leaning hard into comfort, call quality, and compatibility with Apple devices.

The high-elasticity silicone C-bridge is supposedly 35% softer than the last generation and can handle more than 10,000 stretches without losing shape. They come in four colours: Hot Red, Moonlight White, Sunny Blue and Obsidian Black. Each bud is pretty compact at about 26.4 × 21.2 × 24.8 mm. The case is small too (roughly 51 × 27 × 44 mm), and the whole package (buds + case) weighs just 53.2 g.

Sound comes from a 12 mm dual-magnetic-circuit driver in an open acoustic setup. You get LDAC support alongside the usual AAC and SBC. Connectivity is Bluetooth 6.0 with dual-point, so switching between two devices is smooth.

Inside sits Anker’s own Thus AI chip, which they claim offers 150 times the peak computing power of the previous generation. A six-mic and sensor array focuses on isolating your voice rather than just filtering noise, which should help with clearer calls in busy places.

Battery life is solid: about 8 hours on the buds themselves and up to 32 hours total with the case. A quick 10-minute charge gets you around 4 hours of listening. The case supports wireless charging plus USB-C, and the buds are rated IP57 for dust and water resistance.

Because of the MFi certification, you also get real-time translation features when paired with an iPhone, plus Siri support and more reliable switching across iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Pricing and availability

In China they’re priced at 1,199 yuan, with a limited-time drop to 999 yuan. Internationally, the AeroClip 2 is expected around 22 September at roughly $170 / €180. A higher-spec AeroClip 2 Pro (with on-device recording and AI note-taking) is planned for later.

Anker has introduced the 45W Smart+ Charger in China, currently available on JD.com for 149 yuan ($22). The new power adapter is a gallium nitride (GaN) charger that includes a built-in color display and specific software support for Apple’s newer devices, including the iPhone 17 series.

Anker 45W Smart+ Specifications

The charger measures 34 x 35.5 x 40mm and weighs 75 grams. On the front, it features a small color screen that displays real-time charging metrics, such as current power output, battery level, device details, and charging progress. Because power strips and wall outlets are often positioned at different angles, the display interface can be rotated by holding the control button for two seconds.

You can also set the screen to turn off automatically after one or five minutes. The physical design includes a folding plug that locks into 90-degree and 180-degree positions, providing flexibility for routing cables behind furniture or in tight spaces.

Internally, the charger supports Apple’s AVS dynamic fast-charging protocol, a standard that adjusts voltage and power based on the connected device’s requirements. According to Anker, the charger can identify the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 series, applying a specific charging curve for these models. To maintain compatibility with future hardware, the charger supports over-the-air firmware updates through the Anker mobile app.

The device includes a physical button to switch between two primary charging profiles: Smart Fast Charging and Device Protection Mode. The protection mode applies a slower charging curve intended for extended sessions, such as overnight charging.

Anker says that using this mode for half of a user’s charging sessions can reduce battery degradation by around 20% over time. For thermal management, the charger uses the ActiveShield 5.0 system to monitor operating temperatures and holds a TÜV Rheinland low-temperature certification.

While the charger includes specific software features for newer iPhones, it functions as a standard 45W USB-C adapter for other electronics. It supports output profiles of 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A, and 20V/2.25A. This makes it compatible with iPads, MacBook Airs, Android smartphones, and handhelds like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.

The charger is sold in four colors: Aurora White, Morning Mist Blue, Anker Black, and Burgundy Red.

The post Anker launches new 45W GaN charger with screen, smart iPhone detection & foldable plug appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you carry a laptop, a smartphone, and a few accessories like wireless earbuds or a tablet on a daily basis, you already know how inconvenient it can be to manage all their separate power adapters. Over the last few years, Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology has become the standard for consumer electronics, allowing manufacturers to build chargers that handle high wattages without taking up too much space in a bag.

Now that we are in 2026, the current generation of chargers easily surpasses the 100W mark, which is generally enough to power a large laptop while simultaneously charging a phone. Many of these newer models also include helpful additions like digital displays and better heat management. Here is a look at some of the most capable 100W+ GaN chargers currently on the market, categorized by what they do best.

Anker Prime Charger

The Prime series is designed for users who want high power output in a small package. The 160W Prime Charger is compact enough to easily fit into a travel bag, with a footprint roughly the size of a wireless earbuds case. It features three USB-C ports with a total combined output of 160W. If you are only plugging in one device, a single port can deliver up to 140W, which is enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at its maximum speed.

To manage heat, it uses Anker’s active thermal management system that continuously monitors the temperature to prevent the charger from getting too hot during extended use. It also includes a smart display that shows real-time power distribution for each port. You can use the screen to switch between different power allocation modes, or you can manage these settings via Bluetooth using the Anker app.

Price: $149.99

Anker Charger

If you need to charge four devices at once and still have legacy cables, Anker’s 140W 4-Port model is a practical alternative. It has a stacked design with covered pins to help it stay securely plugged into loose wall outlets. This model provides three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. It supports the PD 3.1 standard, allowing for a 140W maximum output from a single USB-C port, or it can evenly split the power to 70W per port if you plug in two laptops.

Built with GaN technology, it includes an AI-driven temperature control system that automatically reduces power output if the charger reaches its thermal limit under a full load. It also features a touchscreen display that provides instant updates on the power output, the status of each port, and the internal temperature.

Price: $89.99

Baseus EnerFill FH11 GaN Fast Charger

The Baseus EnerFill FH11 is a straightforward, functional charger. It skips the built-in screens and Bluetooth connectivity in favor of a simple design that gets the job done. It comes with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, supporting PD 3.1 to output 140W from a single port or 70W each to two laptops simultaneously.

The internal GaN tech allows for a high energy conversion rate, and it monitors its own temperature frequently to keep the exterior relatively cool. Its main appeal is its physical design, which includes foldable prongs and a footprint that is notably smaller than standard 140W adapters. Because it lacks the smart screens of its competitors, it comes in at a more affordable price point.

Price: $59.99

Baseus PicoGo AH11 Fast Charger

For those who like the Baseus port layout but want the visual feedback of a screen, the PicoGo AH11 is the upgraded option. It shares the same layout of three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and supports 140W full-speed charging. Baseus put a lot of focus on cooling for this model, using an active cooling structure and graphene thermal materials to maintain a safe operating heat.

The built-in smart display shows the current power flow, temperature, and an estimate of the remaining charging time. You can turn the screen off with a button press if you find the light distracting. It also uses dynamic power distribution to allocate wattage without interrupting the charge when you connect a new device.

Price: $79.99

Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W Charger

Not everyone needs 140W of power. If you use a 13-inch or 14-inch laptop, a 100W charger is usually more than enough. The Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W is a well-built option with a metal exterior that looks nice on a desk. It offers three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with a maximum output of 100W from a single port.

It includes standard protections against overheating, overvoltage, and short circuits to ensure a steady power delivery. It also features a rotatable touch screen that displays the total wattage, single-port power, and internal temperature. Ugreen programmed interactive emoticons into the display as well.

Price: $64.99

Ugreen Nexode Pro 160W Charger

This charger comes with a built-in retractable cable, offering a convenient take on the increasingly common integrated-cable design. It delivers up to 160W of total output across the retractable USB-C cable, two standard USB-C ports, and one USB-A port. The built-in cable or a single port can provide up to 140W of power.

It uses a thermal guard system that utilizes graphene for heat dissipation, housed in a flame-retardant shell. The retractable cable is rated for over 10,000 stretches. It also has a rotatable touch screen and connects to a phone app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for remote management and firmware upgrades.

Price: $149.99

Cuktech USB-C Charger 140W

Cuktech is a reliable brand that often provides good value. Their 140W 4-in-1 charger is a compact device that conveniently includes a high-capacity cable in the box. It features three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, supporting the PD 3.1 protocol for a maximum 140W output.

It is quite small, weighing 335 grams, and relies on an internal system for real-time temperature monitoring and dynamic power distribution. It doesn’t have a screen, but it smartly adjusts its output based on the charging status of connected devices. It comes with a 1.5-meter 240W USB-C cable, saving you from having to buy a separate cord.

Price: $49.99

Cuktech N0.10 100W GaN Charger

The Cuktech N0.10 is a solid baseline option if you want a modern GaN charger without any extra frills. It is designed for everyday carry and standard charging needs, featuring two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The maximum output is 100W, which is suitable for charging a standard laptop alongside a phone and a tablet.

It uses GaN technology to maintain a stable power output over long periods, and the internal layout is designed to minimize heat generation. It automatically detects the connected device to provide the correct charging protocol. Like the 140W version, it includes a high-wattage cable in the box.

Price: $37.99

The post The Best 100W+ GaN Chargers You Can Buy in 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

We’ve all been there: you pack your bag for a long day, remember to grab your power bank, but realize later that you forgot the charging cable. It’s a common frustration, especially now that our phones, tablets, and laptops all rely on us keeping them topped up.

Fortunately, accessory manufacturers have started to address this by building the cables directly into the power banks themselves.

Having an integrated cable means one less thing to remember and one less cord getting tangled in your bag. If you’re looking to simplify your everyday carry, here is a look at some of the most practical and reliable power banks with built-in cables available right now.

Anker Laptop Power Bank

If you frequently work from coffee shops or travel often, the Anker Laptop Power Bank is a very capable option. It has a large 25,000mAh capacity, which is right at the limit of what is generally allowed on commercial flights. It provides a total output of 165W, meaning it can easily handle larger devices.

The model comes with dual retractable cables that feel sturdy enough for regular use, with each cable supporting up to 100W output and charging a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in around 30 minutes. It also includes a smart display that shows your current battery level and charging speeds.

Price: $119.99

Baseus EnerFill FC41 Power Bank

For those who want a high-capacity battery but prefer a slightly different design approach, the Baseus EnerFill FC41 is a solid alternative. It offers the same airline-friendly 25,000mAh capacity and a very capable 145W total output.

Instead of a retractable mechanism, Baseus uses two built-in braided USB-C cables that are designed to double as a carrying strap. It’s a simple, functional design choice that makes the battery easier to hold.

The primary cable can output 140W, making it suitable for most modern laptops. It also supports pass-through charging, so you can plug the power bank into the wall and charge your devices at the same time.

Price: $79.99

Baseus EnerFill FC11 Power Bank

Not everyone needs to charge a laptop on the go. If you just want something to keep your phone alive during a long day out, the Baseus EnerFill FC11 makes a lot of sense. It features a 10,000mAh capacity, which is usually enough to charge an average smartphone about two times.

It weighs just 363g and is slim enough to fit comfortably in a jacket pocket or a small bag. Despite its small size, it still includes dual built-in USB-C cables and can output 45W. That’s enough power to fast-charge most current smartphones, including the iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series.

Price: $35.99

Baseus PicoGo AM52 Power Bank

The Baseus PicoGo AM52 offers a hybrid approach to charging. It’s a 10,000mAh power bank that supports the new Qi2.2 standard, allowing it to magnetically attach to the back of compatible phones (like the iPhone 16 and 17) for 25W wireless charging.

However, wireless charging isn’t always the most efficient option. For times when you need power quickly, the PicoGo also features a built-in USB-C cable capable of 45W wired charging.

Baseus has included an aluminum heat-dissipation body to help manage the temperatures that usually come with magnetic charging.

Price: $69.99

Xiaomi 67W Power Bank 10000

Xiaomi’s 67W Power Bank is a straightforward, well-designed 10,000mAh battery. It features a single integrated USB-C cable made from flexible TPU, which tucks neatly into a storage slot to form a small lanyard loop.

The power bank supports 67W output, which is great for fast-charging phones and smaller tablets. Equally useful is its 65W input speed; if you have a compatible wall charger, you can recharge the power bank itself from zero to full in just over an hour. It also includes a digital display and supports low-current charging for smaller accessories like wireless earbuds.

Price: €24.99

Cuktech CP24 Dual Power Bank

While USB-C has become the standard, many people still own older iPhones or accessories that require a Lightning cable. The Cuktech CP24 is designed specifically for this mixed-device reality. It’s a 20,000mAh battery that includes two built-in cables: one 40W USB-C cable and one MFi-certified Lightning cable.

This makes it a very practical choice for households or friend groups that use different types of devices. You can charge a newer USB-C device and an older Lightning device at the same time without needing to carry adapters. It supports 40W charging speeds, which is adequate for phones and tablets, and it meets standard airline regulations for travel.

Price: $49.99

The post The Best Power Banks with Built-in Cables in 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

When Xiaomi announced the 17T and 17T Pro in May, a lot of the focus was on the Leica-branded cameras and the new high-brightness OLED displays. However, the feature that arguably has the biggest impact on everyday use is the battery technology under the hood.

By using silicon-carbon battery technology, Xiaomi managed to fit a 6,500mAh battery into the standard 17T and a rather large 7,000mAh battery into the 17T Pro. Those capacities offer a lot of headroom for heavy use, but they also mean you need a capable charger if you don’t want to leave your phone plugged in for hours.

Navigating fast charging standards can be confusing, especially when companies mix proprietary tech with universal standards. Here is a practical guide to the wattage you actually need for the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro, along with a few reliable chargers and power banks that fit the bill.

What Wattage Do You Actually Need?

Before buying any accessories, it helps to know what your specific phone model can handle. Xiaomi split the charging capabilities between the two devices, but they also included broad support for third-party PPS standards, which makes finding compatible chargers much easier.

For the Xiaomi 17T

This model supports 67W wired HyperCharge and up to 50W PPS charging. You really don’t need anything more powerful than a 65W or 70W charger.

Buying a 100W or 140W brick for the standard 17T won’t make it charge faster; the phone will just pull the maximum wattage it was designed for.

For the Xiaomi 17T Pro

The Pro model increases the limit to 100W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge. More importantly, it supports 100W PPS compatibility for third-party chargers.

In the past, getting the maximum charging speed on many phones meant you had to use the proprietary brick included in the box. Now, you can use standard high-output GaN (Gallium Nitride) chargers and still get those 100W speeds.

Wall Chargers for the Xiaomi 17T

If you have the standard Xiaomi 17T, your ideal charger will sit right around the 65W to 70W mark.

Xiaomi 67W GaN Charger 2C1A

If you prefer to stick with first-party accessories to ensure exact compatibility with Xiaomi’s HyperCharge protocol, the official brick is a safe bet. It features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. It uses GaN technology to manage heat, and it conveniently comes with a 1.5-meter 6A cable in the box, saving you from having to buy one separately.

Anker Nano 70W

If you want something a bit smaller for travel, the Anker Nano Charger (70W, 3 Ports) is a solid choice. It is significantly smaller than older chargers of this wattage and includes a foldable plug for easy packing.

Ugreen Nexode Pro 65W

Alternatively, the Ugreen Nexode Pro 65W 3-Port GaN Mini is a very compact option that provides enough power to fast-charge your 17T while taking up minimal space on a desk or in a bag.

Wall Chargers for the Xiaomi 17T Pro

For the 17T Pro, you will want a charger that can hit that 100W ceiling to take full advantage of the phone’s capabilities.

Anker Prime Charger 100W

Anker’s Prime lineup is a reliable choice for multi-device charging. This 100W charger is quite small but provides enough power to charge the 17T Pro efficiently. It uses Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 to monitor temperatures, which helps keep the charger and your phone’s 7,000mAh battery from getting too warm during a fast charge.

Baseus PicoGo AE21

If you like to see exactly how much power your devices are drawing, the Baseus PicoGo AE21 100W includes a built-in digital display. It’s a helpful feature if you want to verify your charging speeds.

Ugeen Nexode Pro 100W

The Ugeen Nexode Pro 100W is another good GaN-powered alternative that delivers a full 100W from its primary USB-C port, making it a straightforward, dependable option.

High-Capacity Power Banks

When you are using a phone with a 7,000mAh battery, a standard 10,000mAh power bank will only give you about one full charge. If you are traveling or away from an outlet for a few days, you might want something larger.

Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W)

This is a great pairing for the 17T Pro. With a 25,000mAh capacity, it holds enough power to charge the 17T Pro a few times over. It can output up to 100W from a single USB-C port, matching the Pro’s maximum input. It also features built-in retractable cables, which is convenient if you tend to forget your charging cords.

Baseus EnerGeek GP12 145W

If you want a balance of high output and a straightforward design, the Baseus EnerGeek GP12 is a reliable choice. It provides up to 145W of total power across its ports, meaning it can comfortably handle the 100W draw of the 17T Pro while leaving room to charge a smaller accessory at the same time. It includes a clear digital display to monitor your remaining battery percentage and has enough capacity to get you through a weekend trip.

Ugreen Nexode Power Bank 20K 165W

Similar to the Anker model, this Ugreen power bank includes a built-in retractable USB-C cable and a digital screen that shows your remaining battery percentage and port power. It easily outputs the 100W needed for the 17T Pro, and the 20,000mAh capacity falls within the limits for airline carry-on rules.

Lightweight Power Banks

You don’t always need to carry a heavy battery. If you just want a portable pack to get your 17T or 17T Pro through a long day, there are some great compact options that won’t take up much space in your bag.

Baseus PicoGo AC22 Ultra Mini Power Bank

This is a very practical everyday option. It has a 10,000mAh capacity and is noticeably smaller than standard power banks. It features a built-in 45W USB-C cable, which acts as a carrying strap and provides enough power for a solid top-up on your phone. It also includes a digital display so you can easily check how much battery you have left.

Anker Nano Power Bank

If you like the idea of a built-in cable but want something a bit longer, this Anker model includes a 2.3-foot retractable USB-C cord. It offers the same 10,000mAh capacity and 45W output, making it a convenient choice for daily use. It also has a smart screen to monitor your charging status and uses Anker’s temperature control system to keep things cool while charging.

Ugreen Nexode Power Bank 20K 100W

While 20,000mAh batteries are usually on the heavier side, this Ugreen model is designed to be about 20% lighter and more compact than similar power banks, making it surprisingly easy to carry every day. It can output a full 100W, which is perfect if you want to maximize the charging speed on the 17T Pro, and it holds enough power to keep your devices running for a few days without feeling like a brick in your backpack.

The post Best Chargers & Power Banks for the Xiaomi 17T Series: What Wattage You Actually Need appeared first on Gizmochina.

Magnetic power banks have become one of the easiest ways to keep a phone alive during a long day. They snap to the back of a compatible phone, align the charging coil, and remove the need to carry a cable for every quick top-up.

For iPhone 17 users, these batteries are especially convenient because Apple’s phones support magnetic wireless charging. Galaxy S26 users may need a magnetic Qi2 or MagSafe-compatible case to get the same snap-on experience, but USB-C charging still makes these packs useful even without magnetic alignment.

The best model depends on what you value most. Some power banks focus on thinness. Others offer more capacity, faster USB-C charging, or a built-in kickstand. Here are the strongest options you can buy in June 2026.

If you’re also weighing which handset to pair one of these with, our guide to this year’s best flagships is worth a look.

Anker Nano Power Bank

The Anker Nano Power Bank (5K, MagGo, Slim) is the most practical small magnetic battery in this group. It has a 5,000mAh capacity, 15W Qi2-compatible wireless charging, and 20W USB-C input and output. It measures 0.34 inches thick and weighs 4.3 ounces, so it should fit easily in a pocket or small bag.

This model works best as an everyday emergency battery. It is not meant to replace a large 20,000mAh travel charger, but it can give an iPhone 17 a useful boost during a commute, night out, or workday. Anker says it can charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 25% in 42 minutes. Actual results will depend on heat, phone settings, and case thickness.

The Nano also puts a strong focus on temperature control. Anker uses graphene cooling, dual NTC temperature sensors, and smart charging adjustments to keep the surface below 104°F. That matters because magnetic wireless power banks can become warm while attached to a phone.

Price: $54.99

Anker MagGo Power Bank

The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim) is the better Anker choice for travel or heavy phone use. It has a 10,000mAh capacity, 15W wireless charging, and up to 30W USB-C output. It measures 0.58 inches thick and weighs 7.05 ounces.

The larger battery makes a real difference. Anker says this pack can provide up to 1.8 charges for an iPhone 15 Pro. That makes it a better fit for people who use GPS, camera, hotspot, video, and messaging throughout the day.

This is not the lightest option, but it is still slim for a 10,000mAh magnetic pack. It is the safer buy if you often finish the day with a low battery.

Price: $79.86

Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank

The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W is the thinnest and lightest model on this list. It measures only 6mm thick and weighs 98g. Xiaomi uses a silicon-carbon battery and an aluminium alloy shell to keep the body slim and rigid.

The battery has a 5,000mAh typical capacity and supports up to 15W wireless charging. However, Xiaomi says that iPhone devices support up to 7.5W magnetic wireless charging with this model.

The USB-C port helps offset that limitation. Xiaomi lists up to 22.5W wired output, which should be faster than its iPhone wireless performance. The power bank also supports two-device charging, although total output drops when both wired and wireless charging are active.

This is the best choice if weight and thickness matter more than peak wireless speed. It is also a good option for users who want a premium metal design rather than a thicker plastic battery.

Price: €59.99

Belkin BoostCharge Magnetic Power Bank

The Belkin BoostCharge Slim Magnetic Power Bank 5K with Qi2 is a practical option with a built-in kickstand. It has a 5,000mAh battery, 15W Qi2 wireless charging, and 20W USB-C charging. It measures 4 x 2.8 x 0.5 inches.

The kickstand gives Belkin a clear advantage for video calls, streaming, and StandBy-style desk use. The power bank can hold a phone in portrait or landscape orientation, so it works as both a charger and a small stand. Belkin also includes a 2-foot USB-C cable in the box.

The BoostCharge model supports pass-through charging and can charge two devices at once through wireless charging and USB-C.

Price: $54.99

Baseus PicoGo AM52

The Baseus PicoGo AM52 Qi2.2 Magnetic Power Bank with Cable 10000mAh 45W is the most versatile option here. It has a 10,000mAh capacity, 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging, and a built-in 45W USB-C cable. It also supports 30W recharging.

It is available in two variants: one with a built-in USB-C cable, eliminating the need to carry a separate charging cable, and another standard version without the integrated cable.

This model is also the strongest choice for Galaxy S26 users. Magnetic wireless charging can be convenient, but a 45W USB-C cable gives Samsung users a faster and more reliable charging path. iPhone 17 users can also benefit from the cable when they want better speed than wireless charging can provide.

Normally priced at around $69.99, it is currently available for just $39.29 during the Amazon Prime sale, making it an excellent deal.

Price: $39.29

Baseus PicoGo AM31

The Baseus PicoGo AM31 Mini Magnetic Power Bank 5000mAh 20W is the smaller Baseus option. It has a 5,000mAh capacity, 20W bidirectional USB-C charging, magnetic alignment, NTC temperature control, and a compact body.

This model targets everyday carry rather than travel-heavy use. It should provide a useful top-up for an iPhone 17 or Galaxy S26. The 20W USB-C port is also useful when wireless charging feels too slow.

Price: $49.99

The post Best Magnetic Power Banks for iPhone 17 & Galaxy S26 in June 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

When the battery indicator turns red, a reliable power bank can be the difference between staying connected and scrambling for an outlet. Anker has long been one of the most trusted names in portable charging, offering a range of options that balance capacity, speed, and everyday practicality. 

The good news for shoppers is that some of the brand’s best performers sit comfortably under the $100 mark on Amazon right now. The best Anker power banks under $100 include the Anker 313 PowerCore 10K, the Anker Nano Power Bank (30W), the Anker 737 PowerCore 24K, the Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim), and the Anker Prime Power Bank (9.6K, 65W, Fusion).

Anker 313 PowerCore 10K: Best budget pick

For anyone who wants dependable backup power without overthinking it, the Anker 313 PowerCore 10K is about as straightforward as it gets. Priced at around $19 on Amazon, it packs a 10,000mAh battery into a slim, lightweight frame that measures just 5.99 by 2.81 by 0.61 inches and weighs 8.6 ounces. Anker claims the unit can charge an iPhone 15 twice over, a Galaxy S23 close to twice, and an iPad mini about once and a quarter, which covers most day-trip scenarios with ease.

The PowerCore 10K includes a USB-C port for both input and output, a USB-A output port, and a Micro-USB input, so two devices can charge at the same time. Anker’s PowerIQ technology tailors the output to whatever device is connected, and the built-in safety features cover surge protection and short-circuit prevention. 

Anker Nano Power Bank (30W, Built-In USB-C Cable): Best for travel

The Anker Nano Power Bank takes a different approach by eliminating one of the most common travel frustrations: forgetting the cable. Its built-in retractable USB-C cable means one less thing to pack, and the compact form factor makes it easy to slip into a jacket pocket or small pouch. At around $34 on Amazon, it offers 10,000mAh of capacity alongside 30W fast charging output.

The Nano also supports 30W input, meaning the power bank itself recharges quickly when plugged back in. Anker’s PowerIQ technology is on board here as well, intelligently adjusting output for connected devices. The built-in cable is rated to withstand over 10,000 bends, addressing the durability concern that often comes with integrated designs. 

Anker 737 PowerCore 24K: Best for laptops

Step up the budget slightly, and the Anker 737 PowerCore 24K at around $95 on Amazon is one of the most capable power banks available under the $100 threshold. The 24,000mAh capacity gives it serious staying power, and the inclusion of 140W Power Delivery 3.1 via its USB-C port means it can fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in roughly 40 minutes.

The 737 features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing multiple devices to charge simultaneously. It also has a smart display for real-time information on remaining battery percentage and power flow. It is the bulkiest option on this list by some margin, which is the main caveat.

Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim): Best for iPhone users

Apple users who have grown accustomed to MagSafe will find a natural companion in the Anker MagSafe Power Bank (10K, Slim). Priced at around $80 on Amazon, it attaches magnetically to MagSafe-compatible iPhones and delivers Qi2-certified 15W wireless charging. The slim A1664 design measures just 4.09 by 2.78 by 0.58 inches and weighs 7.05 ounces.

The USB-C port supports both 30W input and 30W wired output, offering flexibility for those who also want to cable-charge a second device. Anker’s ActiveShield safety system monitors temperature at a very high frequency throughout the charging process. 

The usable wireless capacity lands in the 5,500 to 6,500mAh range after typical conversion losses, but for iPhone users who prioritize convenience and cable-free everyday charging, it remains a polished and well-executed option.

Anker Prime Power Bank (9.6K, 65W, Fusion): Best 2-in-1

The Anker Prime Fusion takes a unique approach by combining a power bank and a wall charger into a single unit, priced at $70 on Amazon. The built-in foldable AC plug lets it plug directly into a wall outlet to recharge itself while simultaneously charging a connected device via its USB-C port at up to 65W. That dual functionality makes it a genuinely space-saving solution for travelers who want to cut down on the number of accessories they pack without sacrificing charging speed.

With 9,600mAh of capacity and 65W output, it handles fast charging for phones and lighter laptops with ease. The trade-off is that the capacity is lower than some other picks on this list, so it may not be the right call for those needing multiple full charges on a single outing. 

As an all-in-one option for the daily commuter or business traveler, though, it covers the bases efficiently and stylishly, and the “Prime” branding means it comes with Anker’s higher-tier build quality and safety standards baked in.

Anker has introduced a new charger in China, the 160W Smart Display Charger Pro+, which addresses a common issue with third-party power bricks: compatibility with proprietary fast-charging standards. Priced at 699 yuan (about $103) during its launch window on JD.com, the new model updates Anker’s existing lineup by adding direct support for Xiaomi’s 120W MiPPS and Huawei’s 66W SCP protocols.

Anker 160W Smart Display Charger Pro+ Specs

For users with devices from these brands, this means the charger can deliver full-speed power without relying on the original brick that came in the box. Alongside these specific protocols, the charger includes three USB-C ports and supports standard formats like 140W USB Power Delivery 3.1, 100W PPS, QC 3.0, FCP, AFC, and the unified UFCS standard. This covers most modern hardware, allowing it to charge laptops, tablets, handheld gaming consoles, and phones from Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and others. The maximum combined output across all ports is capped at 160W.

On the front of the device, there is a built-in color display. Its primary function is to show real-time power output and details about connected devices, including identifying specific Apple hardware by name. The charger also includes Bluetooth, connecting to an Anker companion app. Through the app, users can change the display’s screensaver, monitor power draw, and manually turn individual ports on or off. The software also provides options for scheduled charging and manual power allocation down to 1W increments.

Internally, the charger uses a system Anker calls PowerIQ 5.0 to manage power distribution. The system checks the power requirements of connected devices every two minutes and redirects unused wattage to where it is needed most.

The hardware itself is relatively dense, measuring 65 x 52 x 35 mm. To handle the heat of a 160W output in a small form factor, it relies on three internal temperature sensors. Anker says the charger can sustain a 140W draw from a single port for 24 hours without dropping performance, a metric that has been certified by TÜV Rheinland. Additionally, the device supports over-the-air firmware updates, meaning Anker can add new charging protocols or adjust software features in the future.

In related news, Anker has recently unveiled a new air-cooled 3-in-1 wireless charger featuring an integrated touchscreen display.

Power banks are one of the most common tech accessories in modern tech, but Anker’s founder and CEO believes their time may eventually run out.

According to a report from China, Anker founder and CEO, Meng Yang, recently said in an interview that power banks are unlikely to grow into a product category worth hundreds of billions of yuan. In fact, he suggested that they could even “die in a few years.”

Yang compared power banks to older consumer electronics products such as MP3 players, cassette players, and CD players. He argued that many gadgets have a relatively short life cycle before they are replaced by newer technologies.

“Consumer electronics are actually products that come and go quickly,” Yang said. “If you have bought an MP3 player, you have most likely also bought a cassette player or a CD player. The time span between when you first buy these products and when you stop buying them is only about 10 years.”

Anker is known for power banks

The comments are notable because Anker built its reputation on portable chargers. Founded in 2011, the company expanded rapidly in overseas markets with its power bank business. However, the company’s business has changed significantly over the years.

Public financial data shows that Anker generated 30.514 billion yuan in revenue in 2025, up 23.49% year over year. Charging and energy storage products brought in 15.402 billion yuan, accounting for around half of the company’s total revenue. But traditional power banks are no longer the main driver of the business as Anker now offers a wider range of charging accessories, smart devices, and energy storage products.

The company continues to grow in 2026. In the first quarter, Anker reported revenue of 7.608 billion yuan, an increase of 26.93% from the same period last year. However, net profit attributable to shareholders fell 4.87% year over year to 472 million yuan.

Yang’s remarks also come after Anker acknowledged that it had expanded its power bank lineup too aggressively. At the 2025 annual shareholders’ meeting, Anker reportedly admitted it once had too many charging product models on the market. In 2024 alone, the company reportedly sold around 100 different power bank models.

The company admitted that such a large lineup created quality control challenges. “There should never be 100 models,” Anker reportedly told shareholders, adding that no company could realistically maintain the quality of 100 different power bank products.

While the need for powerbanks hasn’t shrunk in this day and age, Yang believes they could eventually follow the same path as other once-essential gadgets that slowly disappeared as technology evolved.

Anker has launched its new Prime 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger with TEC air-cooling technology in China. The charger is set to go on sale today at 10 AM for an introductory price of 1,199 yuan (~ $177)

The station comes in Anker’s signature Space Gray finish and measures 169 x 125 x 138 mm. It weighs 620 grams and can charge three Apple devices at the same time, including an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

Anker Prime 3-in-1 Wireless Charger Specifications

The standout feature here is a 1.62-inch touchscreen panel built into the base of the charger. The display can show charging power and temperature information in real time. You can also switch between different charging modes and adjust charging settings directly from the screen.

The charger supports touch-based controls through AnkerSense intelligent interaction technology. And you can also use the touchscreen for a few handy shortcuts like double-tap to enter sleep mode, press and hold for two seconds to turn off the display, and hold for seven seconds to reconnect Bluetooth. A 15-second hold resets the device.

To improve charging performance, Anker has equipped the charger with built-in TEC air-cooling technology. The cooling system helps lower the phone’s temperature during wireless charging, allowing for more stable and efficient charging speeds. The display can also monitor device temperatures in real time.

In addition, you can view the charging details through a companion mobile app. The charger also uses Anker’s ActiveShield 5.0 safety system to help ensure safe operation.

According to the company, it supports up to 25W charging for compatible phones, 5W charging for Apple Watch models, and 5W charging for true wireless earbuds. Power is supplied through a USB-C input port.

Anker Japan is gearing up to delight Pokémon fans with a brand-new collection of themed tech accessories, scheduled to launch in early July 2026. The special edition collection celebrates the 30th anniversary of the beloved Pokémon franchise, bringing Pikachu and Eevee designs across five products. 

The Pokémon theme carries through not just the products themselves, but also their packaging and included accessories.

Anker USB Fast Charger 70W Pikachu Model

The USB fast charger has a yellow body with the outline of Pikachu and a gold accent glass panel on the top. The charges can be used for smartphones, tablets, and laptops and come with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, delivering up to 70W when used on a single port. It features a foldable plug for easy packing, and comes bundled with a Pokémon-designed cable and cable band.

It is priced at 7,990 yen or some $50.

Anker Travel Adapter Pikachu Model 

Built for globetrotters, this adapter works in over 200 countries and regions. It includes one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. Like the charger, it has a yellow body with a golden panel at the top. The latter carries the Pikachu imprint. It is priced at 5,990 yen (~$38).

Anker Travel Pouch Pikachu Model 

Designed to keep your gadgets neat on the go, the travel pouch can store chargers, cables, and other accessories. It comes with a back pocket for extra storage and is compact enough to slip into a bag with ease. It is available in a single black shade with Pikachu on the right corner. The Travel Pouch is the least expensive accessory at 3,990 yen (~ $25).

Anker Soundcore C50i Wireless Earphones Pikachu & Eevee Models 

The collection also includes two versions of the Soundcore C50i open-ear wireless earphones: one styled after Pikachu with vivid colours, and one after Eevee with a more natural, understated look. 

Both are ear-cuff style, meaning they sit comfortably on the ear without blocking outside sound, and each earbud weighs just about 5.5g. They deliver powerful bass and offer up to 28 hours of total playback time with the charging case.  Each model is priced at 13,990 yen (~ $87).

All five products are currently listed as “Coming Soon” on the Anker Japan official store, with updates expected via their social media channels closer to the July launch.

The post Anker announces a full Pokémon-Themed tech collection for 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Anker has announced the release of its new Nano Power Bank (MagGo, Plus) in Japan. The device, which recently launched in China as the Anker Air+ Ultra Slim Magnetic Power Bank (model A1113), is currently available for pre-order on Anker’s Japanese website for ¥11,990 (roughly $75). Pre-orders are expected to begin shipping in late June 2026.

Anker Nano Power Bank (MagGo, Plus) Specs

The power bank has a 10,000mAh capacity, measures 15mm thick, and weighs 215g. It includes Qi2 certification, allowing it to provide up to 15W of magnetic wireless charging to compatible devices. This support covers most iPhones from the 12 series onward running iOS 17.4 or later, though the iPhone 12 mini, 13 mini, and 16e are excluded.

For wired charging, a single USB-C port on the bottom provides up to 30W of output and handles 30W input for recharging the battery itself. If you charge two devices at the same time, the output is capped at 12W for the wired connection and 5W for the wireless connection.

Instead of moving to newer battery technologies like solid-state or sodium-ion, Anker is continuing to use standard lithium-ion cells. The company states that alternative battery types are currently too heavy and bulky for portable power banks.

Based on its own data, Anker says that standard lithium-ion cells offer a better weight-to-capacity ratio and avoid the potential airline travel restrictions or disposal issues that newer battery types might face. Anker refers to this refined version of its battery as Neo Lithium-Ion.

The company has also detailed the safety and hardware monitoring features for this model. The battery uses ATL cells and a fire-resistant chassis. To manage heat during use, the device includes an aluminum alloy heat dissipation layer and high-density graphene.

Additionally, the internal battery management system logs voltage and cell data. You can check the battery’s health and estimated replacement time using Anker’s mobile app, though accessing this specific diagnostic data requires connecting the power bank to a phone with a USB-C cable.

The Anker Nano Power Bank (MagGo, Plus) is currently only offered in black. The white version is scheduled for general release in the fall of 2026.

In related news, Anker has also unveiled a new 10-in-1 USB-C hub with a built-in 240Hz display.

USB-C hubs are not exactly exciting products. You plug one in, and it gives you more ports. But Anker is trying something a little different with its upcoming Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display).

This new hub has a built-in display so you can actually see what’s happening with your connected devices. It is set to launch in Japan sometime in fall 2026 at ¥16,990 (roughly $110 USD). And it’s available in two colors: Dark Gray and Silver.

Anker Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display) Specifications

The Nano USB-C connects to your laptop via a single USB-C cable and delivers 10 ports total. On the front, you get a USB-C port with data speeds up to 10Gbps, plus a full-size SD card slot and a microSD card slot.

Flip it around, and the back is where the power users will spend their time. There’s a USB-C charging port that takes up to 100W of power delivery, a USB-A port at 10Gbps, two more USB-A ports at 5Gbps, an HDMI 2.1 port, a DisplayPort 1.4 output, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Both the HDMI and DisplayPort can push 4K at 144Hz. 

Probably the most interesting part of this USB-C hub is its 240Hz display.  It’s a small screen built into the hub itself that shows you real-time usage data. Anker says it also pairs with a dedicated app for even more detail. 

And while a 240Hz refresh rate on that tiny screen would make it look extremely smooth, it’s also kind of overkill for a screen that just shows numbers.

The hub measures about 130 × 56 × 50mm and weighs around 300g. It’s more of a desk accessory than something you throw in a bag. The compact “Nano” name in the title might be a bit generous.

Robotic lawnmowers are slowly becoming more common, but for many people, the high prices and complicated setup process still make them hard to justify. Anker’s eufy brand is now trying to make the category a bit more approachable with the new eufy C15, its cheapest robotic mower so far.

Compared to the company’s larger E15 and E18 models, the new C15 is aimed at smaller gardens up to 500 square meters. The biggest selling point is probably the setup process. Instead of using perimeter wires or RTK antennas like many competing robotic mowers, the C15 relies entirely on eufy’s camera-based TrueVision system for navigation and mapping.

There’s a front-mounted camera system that handles obstacle detection, positioning, and route planning automatically. That means the mower can avoid objects like pets, toys, garden furniture, and even smaller animals such as hedgehogs while moving around the yard. Initial mapping may still take a little time depending on the layout of the garden, but overall installation looks much simpler than traditional robotic mower setups.

The mower itself uses a 180 mm cutting disc with adjustable cutting heights between 20 mm and 60 mm. It can also manage slopes up to around 32%, which should be enough for most smaller residential gardens.

The C15 was introduced during Anker Day 2026 alongside several other eufy products, including new AI-focused earbuds, a robot vacuum with a fragrance diffuser, and an updated smart doorbell lineup.

Pricing and availability:

The mower has officially gone on sale after its recent pre-order phase. It starts at €899, and eufy is currently including the optional garage accessory for free as part of a limited launch offer. Normally, that bundle costs €999. The C15 is available through eufy’s online store, Amazon, and select retailers.

With features like app-based scheduling, automatic charging, and multi-zone support, the C15 feels like eufy’s attempt to bring premium robotic mower features into a more affordable price range. For homeowners who have been curious about robotic lawn care but didn’t want to deal with wires or expensive flagship models, this one could end up being a much easier entry point.

Soundcore has announced two new premium wireless earbuds at Anker Day 2026 in New York, and this time the company is leaning heavily into AI features alongside the usual audio upgrades.

The new Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are both powered by Soundcore’s new in-house Thus AI chip, which the company claims delivers up to 150 times more processing power compared to the previous generation. That extra performance is being used for things like voice processing, adaptive noise cancellation, and some on-device AI features.

Both earbuds use 9.2mm wool-paper diaphragm drivers and support Dolby Atmos audio. They also come equipped with an 8-microphone setup designed to improve voice pickup during calls. According to Soundcore, the earbuds even received a Guinness World Record recognition for speech quality during phone calls, although real-world performance will obviously matter more than the title itself.

A lot of the core features are shared between the two models. That includes Adaptive ANC 4.0, HearID 5.0 sound personalization, multipoint connectivity, IP55 protection, and battery life rated at around 6.5 hours with ANC enabled or up to 28 hours with the charging case.

The standard Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro model starts at $169.99 and includes a small touchscreen built into the charging case. Users can adjust ANC settings and access quick controls directly from the case itself without opening the app.

The more expensive Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max pushes things further with a much larger 1.78-inch AMOLED touchscreen on the case. Beyond music controls and ANC adjustments, the case can also run an AI-powered voice recording feature. Users can apparently double-tap the case to record meetings or lectures, after which the system generates transcripts and summaries directly on-device without needing an internet connection. Soundcore says the case can store up to 12 hours of recordings locally.

Alongside the earbuds, the company also introduced something called VibeOS, a new AI-focused layer inside the Soundcore app that includes a voice assistant named “Anka.”

Overall, Soundcore seems to be trying to position the Liberty 5 series as more than just another pair of ANC earbuds. Between the built-in displays, AI note-taking tools, and strong focus on call quality, the company is clearly targeting users who want productivity-style features alongside premium audio.

Anker Audio-Visual is introducing a pretty unusual new accessory for its Nebula projector lineup. Called Nebula SpaceFlow, the device is designed to bring simplified 3D projection mapping to regular home users without the complicated setup that these systems usually require.

The accessory was announced on May 21 and is made specifically for the Nebula X1 and X1 Pro projectors. In simple terms, SpaceFlow scans the room, understands the shape of walls and objects around it, and then adjusts projected visuals so they fit naturally into the space.

The hardware itself uses a dual-camera system along with a ToF depth sensor and structured light emitter, which sounds somewhat similar to the type of sensing systems older devices like Microsoft’s Kinect used. Once connected, the accessory automatically scans the room and creates a rough 3D model of the environment. It can reportedly recognize things like doors, windows, furniture, and other obstacles before adjusting the projection accordingly.

What makes the setup more interesting is the AI integration. Through the Nebula Connect app, users can simply describe a scene they want, and the system generates visuals designed to match the room layout. Anker says users can create things like jungle-style environments, themed decorations, or animated wall effects without manually editing projection maps.

There is also a library of over 100 ready-to-use templates for holidays and events, alongside modes like AI Fusion and Free Mode for custom scenes.

Projection mapping used to require expensive software, careful calibration, and a lot of manual work, so SpaceFlow seems aimed at making the process much more approachable for casual users. Whether it actually works smoothly in everyday environments is something reviewers will probably test pretty quickly.

Pricing:

The pricing is also a bit more aggressive than expected. Anker says the Nebula SpaceFlow accessory will normally cost $799, but it is launching at a discounted $399 price for early buyers. It is being sold alongside the Nebula X1 series projectors, which are positioned as high-end 4K triple-laser home theater models with brightness reaching up to 3500 ANSI lumens.

This is probably one of the more experimental projector accessories announced recently, but it does show where companies are trying to take home entertainment next.

You don’t need to spend big to get great sound in 2026, the best small Bluetooth speakers still cost well under $100 and give you almost everything most people actually want.

Good sound, check; durability, check; battery life, check; fast charging, check; and even looks, check. 

Many of these speakers are also water-resistant, easy to carry around, and work just as well indoors as they do outdoors. So we picked five of the best options from well-known brands that consistently make reliable audio gear. Here’s what you need to know.

JBL Go 5

JBL is one of the most trusted names in portable audio, and the Go 5 is their freshest small speaker. It’s the size of a deck of cards, weighs just 230 grams, and you can slip it into your jacket pocket like your regular smartphone. 

Inside, the Go 5 runs on a 4.8W driver tuned by the Harman Acoustics team. It can handle music, podcasts, and calls well, and you get a 7-band equalizer through the JBL Portable app to tweak the sound to your liking.

One of the best features of Go 5 is USB-C audio with a built-in DAC chip. That means if you plug it directly into a laptop or phone with a cable, you get lossless audio without any wireless compression.

For wireless listening, the Go 5 uses Bluetooth 6.0, the latest version, which gives you a more stable connection, lower battery use, and faster pairing. It also supports Auracast, meaning you can link multiple JBL speakers together for a bigger sound setup. 

The JBL Go 5 also carries an IP68 rating, and can run for up to 10 hours ( in Playtime Boost mode) in a single charge. The speaker has built-in ambient edge lighting for a fun visual touch, and you can customize the colors from the app.

Key Specs: 4.8W output | Bluetooth 6.0 | IP68 | 8–10 hours battery | 230g | USB-C audio

Tribit StormBox Micro 3

Tribit has built a strong reputation for making budget-friendly speakers that outperform their price tags, and the StormBox Micro 3 is their best small speaker yet. At $64.99, it delivers features and stamina that many $150 speakers would be proud of.

It offers 24-hour battery life and only takes about two hours to go from empty to full. There’s also reverse charging built in over USB-C. 

For audio, the Tribit Strombox Micro uses a 13W output with a 48mm NdFeB driver and dual coaxial passive radiators. It also has Tribit’s XBass mode, which boosts low frequencies for an even richer listening experience when you want more thump.

What really sets the StormBox Micro 3 apart is its 2-in-1 mounting system. You can strap it to a backpack or bike handlebars for active use, or use the magnetic base to snap it onto cars, tents, or lockers for hands-free listening. 

The StormBox Micro 3 is also IP68-rated for full water and dust resistance, and it’s also certified to SGS military-grade drop standards. It pairs two units via Bluetooth 6.0 for stereo sound. 

Key Specs: 13W output | Bluetooth 6.0 | IP68 | 24 hours battery | 2-hr fast charge | Magnetic + strap mount | 330g

JBL Grip

Another entry from JBL is the JBL Grip. Designed to look like a seltzer can, it fits perfectly in your hand or clips onto your bag with its built-in rope loop.

At 16W output, the Grip is noticeably louder and fuller than most speakers in this price range. It’s powered by JBL’s AI Sound Boost technology, which analyzes your music in real time and adjusts the audio output to maximize bass and reduce distortion automatically. 

The Grip also has a customizable LED lighting strip on the side that reacts to the music and adds personality to any setting. You can change the color and behavior from the JBL Portable app, which also gives you access to a 7-band EQ for tailoring the sound.

Like the JBL Go 5, the JBL Grip is IP68 rated. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.4, and it also supports Auracast and has up to 12 hours of battery life (14 hours with Playtime Boost). It’s available in six colors: black, white, blue, red, purple, and camo.

Key Specs: 16W output | Bluetooth 5.4 | IP68 | 12+2 hours battery | AI Sound Boost | Auracast | 385g

Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go

Anker’s Soundcore line has been making great budget audio gear for years, and the Select 4 Go is one of their most impressive affordable speakers. At around $35 to $40, it’s incredibly cheap but has all the features. 

The Select 4 Go is IP67-rated and offers up to 20 hours of battery life. You could easily go three to four days of casual listening on a single charge.

Anker also offers 9-band EQ adjustments in the Soundcore app. There’s also a built-in loop for attaching a carabiner, and rubber feet on the bottom for a strong grip. 

Key Specs: IP67 | 20 hours battery | 9-band EQ | Floatable | Built-in carabiner loop

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4

Ultimate Ears, a brand owned by Logitech, is known for 360-degree Bluetooth speakers, and Wonderboom 4 is one of their best compact models. 

Inside its round, puck-like body are two 40mm drivers and two passive radiators, arranged so left and right channels fire in opposite directions. The result is an audio that fills a room evenly, no matter where you place the speaker. There’s also an Outdoor Boost mode for times when you’re outside. 

The Wonderboom 4 is IP67-rated, has 14-hour battery life, USB-C charging, and you can pair two Wonderboom 4 units together for proper stereo sound. It also has a built-in magic button that lets you jump straight into a preset playlist for easy access.

Key Specs: 10W | IP67 | Floatable | 14 hours battery | 360-degree sound | USB-C | Outdoor Boost mode

How to Choose the Right One

Here’s a quick guide to picking the best speaker for your needs:

• Tightest budget → Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go (~$35)
• Best tiny speaker → JBL Go 5 ($54.95)
• Best battery life → Tribit StormBox Micro 3 ($64.99)
• Best 360-degree sound → UE Wonderboom 4 (~$79–$99)
• Best overall performance → JBL Grip ($99.95)

All five speakers are small, waterproof, and come from reputable brands that back their products with solid warranties and customer support. No matter which one you pick, you’re getting a genuinely impressive small speaker for a price that won’t break the bank.

The post Top 5 small speakers you can buy under $100 in 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Anker has introduced a new compact USB-C hub aimed at users who need a few extra ports without carrying around a bulky dock. The accessory, officially called the 5-in-1 All-in-One USB-C Expansion Dock, has now gone on sale in China through JD.com for 99 yuan, or roughly €12.49 at the current exchange rate.

The hub keeps things fairly simple but practical. It comes with five ports in total, including an HDMI 1.4 output, three USB-A ports, and a USB-C port dedicated to power delivery.

The HDMI port supports up to 4K at 30Hz, which should be fine for basic external monitor use, presentations, or media playback, though it is clearly not aimed at high refresh rate setups. Of the USB-A ports, one supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5Gbps, while the other two stay at USB 2.0 speeds for accessories like keyboards, mice, or printers.

One of the more useful features here is pass-through charging. The dock supports up to 100W power input and can deliver up to 90W charging to a connected laptop, with the remaining power reserved for the hub itself. Just keep in mind the USB-C port is for charging only and does not handle data transfer or display output.

Design-wise, this looks pretty typical for Anker. The hub uses an aluminum alloy body with a dark gray finish and stays quite compact at just under 11.6mm thick. It weighs 57.6 grams, so portability is clearly part of the appeal.

At this price point, the hub seems aimed more at everyday laptop users rather than professional workstation setups. Modern ultrabooks continue to lose ports year after year, so accessories like this are becoming almost necessary for a lot of people.

Anker is also offering an 18-month warranty, which is fairly standard for the company’s accessories. For users who mainly need basic display output, a few USB ports, and reliable charging in one compact adapter, this looks like a fairly straightforward option.

If your iPhone battery is running low by lunchtime, or you are the kind of person who forgets to charge, you are not alone. Heavy app use, always-on displays, and the demands of 5G connectivity mean that even the latest iPhones can struggle through a full day. 

A MagSafe power bank is one of the smartest accessories you can have for this problem. It snaps onto the back of your iPhone magnetically, charges it wirelessly, and lets you keep using the phone normally while it tops up.

But the market is crowded. Walk into any electronics store or scroll through Amazon, and you will find dozens of options. So to make your decision easy, we are listing out the best MagSafe power banks for iPhone in 2026 from three of the most reliable brands: Anker, Belkin, and Ugreen. 

What Is MagSafe — and What Is Qi2?

Before jumping into the products, let’s quickly understand the terminology. 

MagSafe is Apple’s magnetic charging system, built into every iPhone from the iPhone 12 onwards. It uses a ring of magnets to snap accessories, including power banks, perfectly into place on the back of the phone. 

Meanwhile, Qi2 is an open standard based on MagSafe, developed by the Wireless Power Consortium. It brings the same magnetic alignment and 15W fast wireless charging to non-Apple devices and accessories. In 2026, Qi2 is the standard to look for on any magnetic power bank, because it guarantees genuine fast charging rather than the slower 7.5W you get from basic wireless chargers.

The newest generation, Qi2.2, pushes speeds even further to 25W, and two of the brands below now sell it.

Anker MagGo Power Bank

Anker has been the world’s number one mobile charging brand by retail sales for five consecutive years, and its MagSafe lineup reflects years of refinement.

Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K Slim)

The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K Slim) is designed for people who want maximum power without adding bulk. At just 0.58 × 2.78 × 4.09 inches, this 10,000mAh power bank delivers exceptional portability without compromising on power.

It is Qi2-certified, meaning it delivers 15W wireless charging with fast, secure, and efficient power boosts. With 27W USB-C fast charging, an iPhone 15 can reach 60% in just 30 minutes while the power bank itself recharges simultaneously.

One of Anker’s biggest selling points is safety. The MagGo Power Bank is built with an ActiveShield safety system that continuously monitors temperatures over 3 million times daily, maintaining operating temperatures below 104°F. The industry standard, in comparison, is 118.4°F. 

The power bank also has a smart display showing battery percentage and estimated charging times, plus a built-in kickstand for hands-free viewing.

Anker Nano Power Bank (5K Slim)

For those who want something even lighter, the Anker Nano Power Bank could be the one for you. It’s just 0.34 inches thick, weighs 4.3 ounces, and charges iPhones with 15W MagSafe-compatible wireless charging and supports 20W USB-C wired charging. The device recharges itself in under two hours and can charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 25% in 42 minutes.

As for the build, the power bank has a metal frame alongside a skin-friendly back panel. It also sports a USB-C port at the bottom, using which you can get up to 20W charging speeds over a wired connection, and it comes with a USB-C cable in the box.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro

Belkin is known for premium build quality and its tight relationship with the Apple ecosystem. Its BoostCharge Pro line is MFi-certified, meaning Apple has approved it to work with iPhones, and every model comes with Belkin’s impressive Connected Equipment Warranty.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 (5K and 10K)

Belkin offers the BoostCharge Pro with up to 15W of wireless charging, making it easy to attach to any iPhone with MagSafe support. The 10,000mAh model promises up to 35 hours of additional battery life for smartphones, and the company also offers thinner options with 8,000mAh and 5,000mAh, depending on your needs.

The built-in foldable kickstand lets users switch between pad and stand modes, making it convenient for FaceTime calls, streaming, or multitasking while charging. Weighing 5.3 ounces, the BoostCharge Pro is compact and travel-friendly. Belkin offers the device in multiple colors: Deep Purple, Teal, Pink, and Black, to suit different tastes.

In independent head-to-head recharge testing, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 5K + Stand won in recharging tests, recharging a faded iPhone 16 Pro by 79%, beating the 5K EcoFlow RAPID (70%) and the Ugreen 5,000mAh model (68%).

Every Belkin purchase also comes with a 2-year warranty and a $2,500 Connected Equipment Warranty. Belkin will repair or replace electronic devices damaged by an electrical charge while properly connected to this charger. This level of protection is almost unheard of among power bank manufacturers, making Belkin an easy recommendation for anyone who owns expensive devices.

The BoostCharge Pro is sustainably made with post-consumer recycled materials and comes in 100% plastic-free packaging.

Belkin has also caught up on speed. In late June it launched the UltraCharge Slim 10K, a 10,000mAh model with 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging and a 30W USB-C port. Belkin says it takes an iPhone 17 Pro from 0 to 50% in 39 minutes. It debuted at £69.99, and it removes the one advantage Ugreen had held alone.

Ugreen MagFlow 

Ugreen might be less of a household name than Anker or Belkin, but the company has been a reliable choice for anyone looking for charging accessories, including those of iPhones. 

Ugreen MagFlow (10,000mAh, Qi2.2)

The Ugreen MagFlow was the world’s first Qi2.2-certified power bank, and it delivers wireless charging speeds up to 25W.

During real-world testing, the MagFlow was able to charge an iPhone from 20% to 80% twice using Qi2 wireless charging, drawing on its 10,000mAh capacity. 

The MagFlow also features 30W USB-C fast charging with a built-in USB-C cable and a lanyard that helps carry the power bank around. In total, this power bank offers two USB-C wired connections, the built-in cable, and a separate port, in addition to wireless charging. With that, you can charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max, AirPods Pro 3, and Apple Watch Ultra on the go with just one extra cable.

It also has a real-time LED display that shows battery levels, and a 13-layer safety system protects against overheating and overcharging. The built-in cable also doubles as a strap.

The main trade-off with the Ugreen MagFlow is price. It sits at approximately a 20% premium over most alternatives, with a price tag of around $90.

The Thin Budget Pick: Baseus Picogo Air

If the big three feel expensive, or you simply want the thinnest option available, the Baseus Picogo Air AM71 went global in July at $69.99 with a 60W USB-C cable included in the box.

The 5,000mAh pack measures just 0.27 inches thick and weighs 3.7 ounces, which makes it the slimmest magnetic power bank on this page. You get 15W magnetic wireless charging and 22.5W wired output. There is no stand and no display, and that is the trade-off for the size.

Finding a decent projector under $500 used to be difficult. You often had to compromise on image quality, deal with loud fans, or buy extra streaming sticks just to watch a movie. In 2026, the options have improved significantly.

Many portable projectors now include built-in batteries, auto-focus, and native Google TV with Netflix support right out of the box. Here is a look at some of the most practical options available right now for home or outdoor use.

Aurzen EAZZE D1 Max

If your main priority is a bright image and you don’t mind keeping the device plugged into a wall, the Aurzen EAZZE D1 MAX is a practical choice. Most portable projectors in this price range output between 300 and 400 lumens, which requires a very dark room for a clear picture. The D1 Max, however, outputs 1000 ANSI lumens.

Because it lacks a built-in battery, it’s best suited as a permanent fixture in a living room or bedroom. It offers a native 1080p resolution with HDR10 support, and it includes MEMC motion smoothing, a feature that helps reduce blur during fast-moving scenes like live sports or gaming.

It runs on Google TV, meaning apps like Netflix and YouTube are built directly into the interface. With dual 10W Dolby Audio speakers, it provides enough sound to fill a room without needing an external soundbar.

Price: $349.99

Dangbei Freedo

The Dangbei Freedo stands out mainly because of its physical design. Instead of requiring a separate tripod, it features a built-in gimbal stand that tilts up to 135 degrees. This makes it very easy to point the projector at an angled wall or straight up at the ceiling. When you move it, the automatic focus and keystone correction adjust the image to keep it rectangular and sharp.

It projects a 1080p image at 450 ISO lumens, which is standard for this category, and covers over 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut for accurate color reproduction.

For portability, it weighs about 3.1 pounds and includes a 60Wh battery that provides roughly two and a half hours of video playback. It charges via a 65W USB-C port, so you can use the same power bank or charger you likely already use for your laptop.

Price: $439

Soundcore Nebula Mars 3 Air

Anker’s Soundcore Nebula line has been a consistent presence in the portable projector market, and the Mars 3 Air is a very balanced, straightforward device. It doesn’t have the highest brightness on the market at 400 ANSI lumens, but it offers a reliable overall experience that is easy to set up and use.

The Mars 3 Air features a native 1080p display and dual 8W Dolby Audio speakers that double nicely as a standard Bluetooth speaker when you aren’t watching a movie. Its built-in battery also lasts for about two and a half hours.

Where this model does well is its ease of use: the environment adaptation technology handles screen fit, autofocus, and obstacle avoidance in about three seconds. With Google TV and officially licensed Netflix built-in, it’s a convenient all-in-one option for casual viewing.

Price: $469.99

Xgimi MoGo 4

While the Xgimi MoGo 4 sits a bit above the $500 budget limit, it’s worth considering if you care about design and aesthetics. It is quite compact, roughly the size of a coffee thermos, and delivers 450 ISO lumens alongside dual 6W Harman Kardon speakers that provide clear, balanced audio.

Aside from being a standard Google TV projector, Xgimi designed the MoGo 4 to act as a room accessory. It includes a Magnetic Creative Filter system; for example, you can snap on the included Sunset Filter to project warm, ambient light into your room.

It also features basic gesture controls, allowing you to wave your hand in front of the lens to change the content or lighting mode. It’s a bit more expensive, but it offers a unique set of features for those who want their tech to blend into their home decor.

Price: $599

Soundcore Nebula Capsule 3 Laser

Also slightly over the $500 mark, the Capsule 3 Laser focuses entirely on ultra-portability. Weighing just two pounds and shaped like a soda can, it is incredibly easy to pack into a bag for travel.

Instead of a standard LED light source, it uses laser technology. While it is rated at 300 ANSI lumens, the laser light source provides better contrast and perceived clarity than many LED projectors with similar specs.

It runs on Android TV 11.0 and includes a 52Wh battery that yields about two and a half hours of playback. If you travel frequently or just want a projector that takes up as little space as possible in a drawer, the Capsule 3 Laser is a very capable, compact option.

Price: $539

Magnetic battery packs are convenient, but the 10,000mAh models usually come with a clear downside: they add a lot of bulk to your phone. Anker is trying to address that with its new Air+ Ultra Slim Magnetic Power Bank (Nano), which recently went on presale in China for 399 yuan ($58).

Anker Air+ Ultra Slim Magnetic Power Bank Specs

The focus of this new battery pack is keeping the physical footprint down while maintaining a standard 10,000mAh (39.2Wh) capacity. It measures 1.47cm thick and weighs about 210 grams. While it’s not weightless, it is thinner than most standard magnetic power banks in this capacity range.

Anker designed the dimensions so it fits properly on the back of supported iPhones, meaning it shouldn’t block the camera bump or stick out past the bottom edge of the device. It attaches using 17 built-in rubidium magnets, which provide a 12.8N magnetic force. It will also work through magnetic phone cases, provided they are under 1mm thick.

For charging, the specs are solid and practical. If you use it wirelessly, it outputs up to 15W for compatible iPhones. According to Anker, that will get an iPhone 17 Pro to about 40% in 30 minutes.

If you need to charge faster, there is a USB-C port that supports up to 30W for both charging your phone and recharging the battery pack itself. Using a cable, an iPhone 17 Pro can reach 50% in around 22 minutes.

The power bank uses ATL battery cells, which is the same supplier Apple uses for its devices. To keep things from getting too warm during use, the internal structure includes high-polymer graphene materials and a dedicated temperature control chip. Interestingly, you can also connect the power bank to Anker’s companion app to monitor the battery’s health and check its real-time temperature.

On the safety side, the device meets China’s 2026 safety standards, passing tests for puncture resistance, compression, and heat exposure. It has a soft-touch finish with metallic accents and comes in four colors: Black, White, Blue, and Orange.

In related news, Ugreen has introduced a new 45W 10,000mAh power bank with a built-in PD3.0 USB-C cable, while OnePlus recently launched a 15,000mAh 120W power bank featuring enhanced battery safety technology.

Buying a budget projector used to require a lot of compromises. For a long time, spending less than $300 meant dealing with dim images, clunky interfaces, and the need to plug in a separate streaming stick just to watch Netflix. But as we look at the market in May 2026, the baseline for entry-level projectors has noticeably improved.

Features that were once limited to more expensive models, like built-in adjustable stands, sealed optical engines to prevent dust buildup, and officially licensed smart TV software, are now standard in this price range. If you are looking for a simple way to watch movies on your ceiling or set up a casual outdoor movie night, here are the most practical budget projectors available right now.

TCL Projector C1

TCL is well-known for its budget televisions, and the C1 applies that same approach to projectors. For $250, it provides a native 1080p resolution and runs on official Google TV, which includes native support for Netflix.

The most useful physical feature is its 285-degree adjustable gimbal, which lets you easily point the image at a wall or ceiling without needing to prop the device up on books. At 230 ISO Lumens, it is not particularly bright, so you will need a dark room for the best picture.

However, it includes a fully sealed optical engine to keep dust off the internal lens and a decent 8W built-in speaker, making it a reliable, low-maintenance option.

Price: $249.99

Anker Soundcore Nebula P1i

Anker’s Nebula series has been a staple in portable projectors for a while. The P1i sits right at the edge of the $300 budget and focuses heavily on audio flexibility.

It features dual 10W speakers that can physically rotate 90 degrees horizontally or 200 degrees vertically, allowing you to aim the sound toward your seating area regardless of how the projector is positioned.

It outputs 380 ANSI lumens, which gives it a slight edge in brightness over the TCL, and it uses an all-glass lens. Like the C1, it runs Google TV and handles autofocus and keystone correction automatically. It’s a solid all-in-one unit if you want better built-in sound.

Price: $299

Aurzen Boom Mini

The Aurzen Boom Mini has a retail price of $349.99, but it is frequently discounted to around $245. If you can buy it at the lower price, it offers the highest brightness on this list at 500 ANSI lumens. This makes it a bit more forgiving if you have a small amount of ambient light in your room.

It includes a 110-degree adjustable stand, Google TV, and dual 10W speakers. The trade-off for the brighter lamp and larger speakers is that the unit is a bit bulkier than its competitors, but it’s a fair compromise if you prioritize a brighter image.

Price: ~$245 (with standard discounts)

Dangbei N2 Mini

If your budget is strictly capped at $200, the Dangbei N2 Mini is a capable entry-level choice. To keep the price down, Dangbei uses a custom Linux operating system instead of Google TV. Fortunately, it still comes with official licenses for Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube, which covers the basics for most users.

It features a 190-degree tilt stand, a sealed optical engine, and outputs 200 ISO lumens. It also runs quietly, operating under 27dB. It’s a straightforward, compact projector that works well for small spaces like dorm rooms.

Price: $199

JMGO N1S Nano

While the JMGO N1S Nano sits above the $300 threshold, it is worth mentioning if you have a little flexibility in your budget. At $399, you get a noticeable improvement in color accuracy. It covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and outputs 460 ISO lumens, resulting in a richer, more vibrant picture than the cheaper models.

It retains the convenience features found in the others, including a 127-degree gimbal stand, Google TV, and automatic image adjustment, all packed into a lightweight 3.9-pound frame. It is a sensible step up if you want better visual fidelity without moving into the $500+ price bracket.

Price: $399

Anker has introduced its first in-house AI chip platform called “Thus.” The new chip will officially debut on May 21, 2026, during its launch event in New York City. This marks the company’s move into custom silicon, focusing on bringing advanced AI features directly to compact devices like wireless earbuds.

Built for Speed and Efficiency

The Thus chip is based on Compute-in-Memory (CIM) architecture, which combines processing and memory into a single unit. Instead of moving data between separate components, it processes data where it is stored. This reduces latency, improves speed, and lowers power consumption, key for small, battery-powered devices. Anker claims the chip delivers up to 150× more AI computing power compared to its earlier audio products.

Smarter Audio with On-Device AI

A major highlight of the Thus chip is real-time AI processing directly on the device. This allows features like noise cancellation and voice enhancement to work faster without relying on cloud processing. It also improves privacy and ensures more stable performance in different environments.

First Product: AI-Powered Earbuds

The chip will first appear in a new flagship pair of earbuds launching alongside it. These earbuds are expected to feature advanced “Clear Calls” technology using AI-based environmental noise cancellation. The setup includes eight microphones and bone-conduction sensors to filter background noise and improve call clarity.

Anker plans to expand the Thus chip beyond audio products into mobile accessories and other smart devices. The goal is to bring faster, more efficient on-device AI to a wider range of everyday products.

Brand names usually stick around for a reason. They take years to build and tend to carry a lot of recognition. So when a company decides to drop one, it usually means something has changed behind the scenes. In Anker’s case, the shift actually makes a fair bit of sense.

Anker Innovations has confirmed that it is phasing out the Soundcore brand name in China, replacing it with “Anker Audio-Visual.” The announcement came through a local press release and social posts, and the reasoning becomes clear when you look at how the brand has been used recently.

Soundcore has always been closely tied to audio. Speakers, earbuds, headphones. That is what most people associate with it. But over time, Anker also started selling its Nebula projectors under the same umbrella, which is where things started to feel a bit off. A projector sitting under a brand called Soundcore never quite lined up.

The new name fixes that. “Anker Audio-Visual” covers both sides of the product range without any confusion. It feels more straightforward, and probably easier to scale going forward.

For existing users, nothing really changes. Anker says products will continue to appear under both names for a while, and there is no difference in quality or features. This is more of a branding update than anything else.

What is still unclear is how quickly this will expand beyond China. So far, the change has only been announced there. That said, Soundcore has a strong presence in markets like the US and Europe, so a wider rollout seems likely at some point.

For now, if you start seeing “Anker Audio-Visual” where Soundcore used to be, it is not a new product line. Just a new name for the same lineup.

The post Anker replaces Soundcore with new “Audio-Visual” branding appeared first on Gizmochina.

Anker has officially launched the Soundcore Space 2 over-ear headphones, following its introduction last month. These headphones have debuted as a follow-up to the Space One released in 2023. The new model is priced at $129.99. It is available in Seafoam Green, Linen White, and Jet Black through the company’s official store and major retailers, including Amazon.

The Space 2 focuses on everyday listening and travel use. It comes with a four-stage active noise cancellation system that targets low-frequency sounds, such as traffic or engine noise during flights and train rides. There is also a transparency mode, so users can hear announcements or conversations without taking the headphones off.

For audio, the headphones use 40 mm double-layer diaphragm drivers. Wired playback supports Hi-Res Audio, while wireless listening uses the LDAC codec for higher data transfer compared to standard Bluetooth audio.

Anker has come up with a slightly different take on the usual power strip, and it’s clearly aimed at people tired of cables running all over their desk.

The new Nano Power Strip (10-in-1, 70W, Clamp) is designed to sit right on the edge of your desk. It uses a clamp-style mount, with two sections that grip the top and bottom of the desk and tighten into place with a rotating knob. Simple idea, but it solves a pretty common annoyance.

The layout is split across two levels. On the top section, you get easy access to ports you’ll probably use more often, while the lower section handles additional outlets that don’t need to be front and center.

Up front, there are four USB ports, including two USB-C and two USB-A. One of the USB-C ports can push up to 70W, which should be enough for most laptops. The rest of the outputs are standard AC sockets, bringing the total to ten.

It’s also got 1500J surge protection, which is expected at this point but still good to have, especially if you’re plugging in multiple devices.

Compared to Anker’s earlier Nano charging station, this one is less about portability and more about keeping your desk clean. The clamp design means fewer cables hanging off the edge or disappearing behind the table, which is really the main appeal here.

It’s priced at $69.99 and is expected to go on sale in the US around mid-April 2026. There’s no clear word on availability in other regions yet.

For anyone dealing with a messy setup, this feels like a practical upgrade. Whether it ends up being genuinely useful day to day will probably come down to how well that clamp holds up and how convenient the layout feels in real use.

Price: $55.99

Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank

The UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank prioritizes portability. It is the slimmest on the market at 6mm thick and weighs just 98 grams, making it easy to slip into pockets and small bags. The 5,000mAh capacity is smaller compared to other options, but Xiaomi includes both 15W wireless charging and 22.5W wired charging, ensuring enough power for short trips or lighter daily use.

The silicon-carbon battery improves energy density, while the compact design makes it ideal for users who want a lightweight, minimalist solution. This power bank pairs well with iPhone and Android devices, but does not provide as much capacity for heavy travelers or those managing multiple devices.

Price: €59.99

Anker Nano Power Bank

The Anker Nano Power Bank combines compact size with powerful charging capabilities. It includes a 10,000mAh capacity, 30W bi-directional charging, and an attached USB-C cable for streamlined use.

Price: $49.99

Anker MagGo Power Bank

The Anker MagGo Power Bank delivers both style and performance with its 0.58-inch thickness and lightweight build. It is compatible with MagSafe-equipped iPhones, offering 15W wireless charging alongside 30W USB-C wired charging. The slim frame and ergonomic design make it easy to carry and use in any situation.

Anker also uses advanced materials like aerogel insulation to keep the MagGo cooler during heavy use. The power bank is a reliable option for both Android and iPhone users.

The Anker Soundcore Nebula P1i Smart Projector has launched in the UK, with a wider European rollout expected in early April 2026. The device was first introduced at the start of 2026 and arrived in the US market in February. It expands the Nebula lineup alongside the earlier Nebula P1.

The Nebula P1i is a Full HD projector with a native 1080p resolution. It can project images up to 150 inches in size and uses a 1.25:1 throw ratio. The LED light source delivers up to 380 ANSI lumens of brightness, paired with a 1,500:1 contrast ratio. To improve usability, the projector includes autofocus, automatic keystone correction, and obstacle avoidance for image alignment.

The device runs on Android TV OS with the Google TV interface. Users get access to streaming apps such as Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video directly on the projector. For connectivity, it supports Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1. Physical ports include HDMI with ARC support, a USB-A port, and an AUX input.

Audio is handled by built-in 10W Dolby Audio speakers. The speaker module can open up to a 90° angle, while the projector body itself supports up to 200° rotation. This allows flexible placement and easier adjustment for different viewing setups.

In the UK, the Nebula P1i is available through the Anker official store at a discounted price of £314.50, down from the £369.99 retail price. A similar offer is also listed on Amazon. In Europe, the projector is expected to launch at a standard price of €369.99.

There’s a noticeable shift in how people use laptops today, less tied to desks, more dependent on mobility. Whether it’s working from cafés, traveling, or simply moving between spaces, access to reliable power has quietly become a limitation many only notice when it runs out.

Laptop power banks solve that problem. The best options in 2026 don’t just extend battery life; they remove the need to plan around charging altogether. The key is choosing one that actually fits how you use your laptop, rather than chasing specs that don’t translate into real-world benefit.

Factors to Consider Before Buying

Power Output (Wattage)

This is the first thing to get right.

• 65W works for ultrabooks
• 100W or higher is needed for most modern laptops

Anything lower will either charge very slowly or not at all under load.

Battery Capacity

The ideal range is 20,000–27,000mAh. This gives you at least one full charge without making the power bank unnecessarily heavy or impractical to carry.

Port Selection & Usability

Look for at least two USB-C ports with Power Delivery. Multi-device charging is no longer optional; it’s expected. Small details like display indicators or wattage readouts also improve daily usability.

Recharge Speed

A high-capacity power bank should also recharge quickly. Faster input (100W+) makes a noticeable difference if you use it daily.

Portability vs Practicality

Higher capacity often means more weight. Slim designs are easier to carry, but may sacrifice sustained performance. The right choice depends on how often you actually carry it.

Quick Buying Table

The 5 Best Laptop Power Banks (2026)

Anker Prime 27,650mAh — Best Overall

The Anker Prime feels like the most complete and refined option in this space. It delivers up to 140W via a single USB-C port (PD 3.1), with a total combined output of 250W, making it capable of charging both high-performance laptops and multiple devices simultaneously without slowing down. The 27,650mAh (≈99.5Wh) capacity hits the sweet spot between endurance and portability. What genuinely stands out is the real-time smart display, which shows input/output wattage and remaining time, useful in ways most people don’t expect until they have it. It also recharges unusually fast for its size. The only trade-off is price, but it justifies it by being the one power bank that rarely feels limiting.

Anker 737 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K) — Best Value

The Anker 737 remains one of the easiest recommendations because it gets the fundamentals right without trying to reinvent anything. It delivers 140W bidirectional charging, meaning both output and recharge speeds are equally strong, something many mid-range options quietly compromise on. The 24,000mAh capacity is slightly smaller, but in practice still covers most daily use cases. Its digital display is simple but genuinely useful for tracking performance. It does feel a bit bulkier and less polished compared to newer designs, but the reliability and consistent output make it a safer buy than most alternatives in this price range.

UGREEN Nexode 145W Power Bank — Best Performance

The Nexode 145W is built for users who care less about portability and more about consistent high output. Its 145W maximum output isn’t just a headline number—it sustains power well even when multiple devices are connected, thanks to smart distribution. The ~25,000mAh capacity drains predictably rather than quickly under load, which matters during longer work sessions. Thermal performance is also well-managed, so it doesn’t feel stressed during heavy use. The trade-off is that it’s not the most compact or travel-friendly option, but if your priority is stable, no-compromise charging, this is one of the more dependable picks available.

Stuffcool Giga Max 25,000mAh (India) — Specific for Travel

The Stuffcool Giga Max stands out as a practical travel-focused power bank, offering a 25,000mAh capacity that stays within airline limits while still delivering 100W USB-C output for laptops. It supports PPS charging, making it particularly useful for a wider range of devices, including Samsung laptops and phones. What adds to its usability is the built-in display and integrated cable, reducing the need to carry extra accessories. It’s not the most powerful option in this category, but for travel, it strikes a better balance between portability, availability, and everyday convenience.

Baseus Blade 100W — Best Slim Design

The Baseus Blade stands out because it solves a very real problem: most power banks are awkward to carry with a laptop. Its flat, wide design fits naturally into sleeves and backpacks, making it far more likely to be carried daily. It still delivers 100W output and a 20,000mAh capacity, which is sufficient for ultrabooks and moderate workloads. The compromise is that it’s not built for sustained heavy output like higher-end models, and the form factor prioritizes portability over raw efficiency. Still, for everyday mobility, it’s one of the few options that genuinely feels designed for how people carry laptops.

Anker appears to be preparing another expansion of its Soundcore audio lineup, with leaks pointing to two upcoming TWS earbuds: the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max. The details come from known tipster AnkerInsider, who shared early information about the models that could soon sit above the Liberty 5 from last year.

Both earbuds reportedly build on the standard Soundcore Liberty 5, which currently sells for around $100. One of the more notable upgrades is a new AI-focused chip called Anker Thus, a compute-in-memory processor designed to enable features like AI audio upscaling that aims to improve clarity and detail in music playback.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro (model D1203) appears to focus on improved everyday listening. It’s said to feature Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation 4.0, an upgrade over the ANC 3.0 system found in the regular Liberty 5. Other highlights reportedly include Dolby Atmos spatial audio, Bluetooth 6.1 with multipoint connectivity, and IP55 dust and water resistance.

One of the more unusual additions is the charging case with a built-in touchscreen. According to the leak, users will be able to control playback, switch ANC modes, check battery levels, and manage connected devices directly from the case. Battery life is listed at 6.5 hours with ANC enabled (up to 28 hours total with the case) or 10 hours without ANC for a combined 45 hours. Charging options include USB-C, fast charging, and wireless charging. The Liberty 5 Pro is expected to launch at $170 in Black and White.

The Liberty 5 Pro Max (model D1204) reportedly keeps most of those features but adds a few extra tricks. Its charging case doubles as a portable voice recorder, using a system that could include up to eight microphones for capturing audio. The earbuds may also support voiceprint recognition, allowing the case to identify the owner’s voice.

Pricing for the Pro Max is expected to land around $230, with color options listed as Black and Gold.
