The “UGREEN Built-In USB-C Connector Power Bank 5000mAh” is, in my opinion, a power bank specifically designed for smartphones that prioritizes portability above all else, given its cable-free built-in connector, sufficient output and battery capacity for charging phones, and overall size.
There are many other delightful features as well, such as its charming design and the convenience of being able to double as a smartphone stand.
While I do have slight concerns about whether the connector might break, it is unlikely to happen under normal usage conditions.
Since you can charge without having to carry cables, I highly recommend this for those who want to minimize their carry when heading out and those looking for a dedicated smartphone power bank.

Actual Usage Impressions
Recommended for charging smartphones and more
Built-in style that doesn’t require cables
The biggest feature of this power bank is that it comes with a built-in connector, so you can charge without needing any cables.
Ms.GadgetsIn short, as long as you have this one device, you can easily charge anywhere!
Max 22.5W output is sufficient for charging smartphones
| Output （Built-in USB-C Connector/USB-C Port） | Single Port: 10V⎓2.25A/5V⎓3A/9V⎓2.22A/12V⎓1.5A Multiple Ports: 5V⎓3A Max |

It is capable of about 20W output when using a single port, and up to 15W when using multiple ports.
Mr.Gadgets22.5W output is only possible for Huawei devices.
Everything else is limited to a maximum of 20W.
With this level of output, you can sufficiently charge a smartphone.
I think you can also charge a tablet, provided you don’t mind a slower speed.
Mr.GadgetsThere are smartphones that can charge at higher outputs than this, but if you aren’t chasing speed, this should be fine.
Ms.GadgetsIn other words, if you aren’t worried about speed and just want to charge normally, this is enough!
5000mAh capacity capable of charging an iPhone about once
This power bank has a capacity that basically allows for one full charge of a smartphone, give or take.
Ms.GadgetsThat might be a little underwhelming…
Mr.GadgetsI think it’s fine as long as you think of it as a portable device.

Playful and adorable design
As you can see from the photo above, the protective cover for the connector features a charming design.
Mr.GadgetsFirst of all, I’m glad it comes with a protective cover!
Ms.GadgetsIndeed! It’s great to have such cute, playful touches!
Having two ports is a nice bonus
Because there is an input/output port besides the connector, you can output from two ports.
However, when using multiple ports, the total output is limited to 15W.
Mr.GadgetsBeing able to output from 2 ports is a nice feature! Being able to charge a smartphone and earphones at the same time expands the range of possibilities.
Ms.GadgetsWell, you do need a cable to use the second port.

Ms.GadgetsIt’s convenient to know the exact level!
Doubles as a smartphone stand!
The “UGREEN Built-In USB-C Connector Power Bank 5000mAh” can also be used as a smartphone stand.
Ms.GadgetsBeing able to watch videos using the stand function while charging is really convenient!
Mr.GadgetsThough it is a bit scary to think the connector might break if you apply strong force. Well, I’m sure that has been considered and addressed in the design.
