Actual Usage Experience
Recommended for charging smartphones and other devices
Built-In design that requires no cables
The biggest feature of this portable charger is that because the connector is built-in, you can charge your devices even without a cable.
Ms. GadgetIn short, having just this one unit means you can easily charge anywhere!
Max 22.5W output is plenty for charging smartphones
| Output (Built-in USB-C Connector / USB-C Port) | Single port use: 10V⎓2.25A / 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓2.22A / 12V⎓1.5A Multiple ports use: 5V⎓3A Max |

It is capable of approximately 20W output when using a single port, and up to 15W when using multiple ports.
Mr. GadgetA 22.5W output is only available for Huawei devices.
For all other devices, the maximum is 20W.
With this level of output, charging a smartphone is more than sufficient.
I think you can also charge tablets if you don’t mind slow charging.
Mr. GadgetWhile there are smartphones that can be charged at even higher outputs, this will suffice as long as you don’t demand high speeds.
Ms. GadgetIn short, this is plenty for normal charging without worrying about speeds!
5000mAh capacity capable of charging an iPhone about once
This portable charger has a capacity roughly enough to charge a smartphone about once, give or take.
Ms. GadgetIt might feel a little lacking…
Mr. GadgetThough if you treat it strictly as a portable option for on-the-go use, this much is fine.

Playful and adorable design
As you can see in the photos above, the connector’s protective cover features a cute design.
Mr. GadgetIt’s definitely great that it comes with a protective cover in the first place!
Ms. GadgetIndeed!
Having cute, playful touches like this is wonderful!
Having two ports is a nice little bonus
Because there are input/output ports in addition to the connector section, power can be output from 2 ports.
However, when using multiple ports, the combined output is limited to a maximum of 15W.
Mr. GadgetBeing able to output from 2 ports is a nice feature!
Expanding what you can do, such as charging a smartphone and earphones simultaneously, is important.
Ms. GadgetWell, using 2 ports does require one cable, though.
