Samsung 45W 20000mAh Battery Pack: Review
Samsung 45W 20000mAh Battery Pack is a power bank designed to charge smartphones, tablets and other small equipment, thanks to its many ports, 45W power and a large 20,000mAh capacity.
This definitely looks stylish to a power bank, with its pebbles such as adding an element of organic chic. The main seam between the two panels is slightly shocking, however, and the Samsung 45W is separated from the overall lubrication of the 45W 20000mAh battery pack.
This is also quite large, even for the power bank with such capacity. Some of the same or high capacity are smaller than the best power banks. The build quality is good – there is some flexing for panels, but not to the extent that I am worried.
The Samsung 45W 20000mAh battery pack has three charging ports, which are all USB-C, which is somewhat abnormal for a power bank, as many other connector types include. This can prevent users who want more versatility and concessions for older devices such as the USB-A port or two.
However, I am very happy with this configuration, given the increasing omnipresent of USB-C. All ports have been deployed at one end, which may be a little restrictive for something; An even more distribution around the entire unit can improve flexibility, but this is not a major issue.
Despite its large size, there is no digital display of Samsung 45W 20000mAh battery pack: you all get four LED dots to indicate the bank’s battery life. They are quite small and placed next to the ports, which obscure them from looking at them to some extent.
What is more, do not activate LED devices while charging, either charging or remaining battery to indicate life (you have to press the power button every time to reveal later). This shortage of interface is particularly disappointing on a premium power bank such as Samsung 45W 20000mAh battery pack.
At least it has super fast charging, and can charge three devices simultaneously. It managed to charge my Google Pixel 7A, with a 4,385mAh battery, which is full from empty in about two hours, which is a decent performance.
After charging, all four LEDs of the bank were burnt, indicating that very least, the battery was not more than 30%, which is impressive and means that you should get about 3-4 fees from it.
Samsung 45W 20000mAh Battery Pack is one of the more expensive power banks with this imagination, although we have seen it on sale for significantly low. For example, Juovi J2621, is cheaper, but has the same power and capacity, and even four ports instead of three, two of which are USB-A. It is equally heavy, however, which can prevent ultra-light travelers.
Finally, if you want a USB-C port in a stylish package, Samsung 45W 20000mAh Battery Pack is a solid option-but probably wait for sale to maximize its value.
