What is the Best Portable Charger for Android?
There is lots of choice when it comes to choosing the best portable charger for Android. But there can be a huge difference between high-quality chargers and low-quality ones. So, what should you be looking for when looking for a portable smartphone charger for your Android? We investigate the best features for your Android charger and – spoiler! – MAGFAST ticks all the boxes.
Battery Capacity
You’ll want to find a portable charger that can fully charge your Android phone at least once. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a battery size of 4,500 mAh. The Google Pixel 4a has a battery size of 3,140 mAh. Most Android phones will fall somewhere in between these, and so they will require a portable charger with a battery capacity of 3,000 mAh – 4,500 mAh.
MAGFAST Life is our sleek, everyday portable charger, with Qi wireless charging, plus USB-A, USB-C and micro-USB charging capabilities. It has a battery capacity of 6,000 mAh, meaning it can charge all Android phones fully at least once, and with power left over. MAGFAST Extreme has a huge 18,500 mAh battery capacity, meaning it can fully charge the latest Samsung phone four times and still have power left for a quick top-up.
Charging Speed
The biggest battery in the world is no good if it takes hours to charge your phone. When you’re looking for a portable charger for your Android, look at how quickly the power bank can charge, and whether it supports fast charging through cables.
MAGFAST chargers use the most up-to-date technology and highest quality components to ensure the fastest and most efficient charge. Whether you use Qi wireless charging or a cable connection, you won’t have to hang around waiting for your phone to get charged with MAGFAST.
Size
As well as the size of the battery, you should also consider the size of the charger itself. Do you want a charger that you can easily slip into your pocket or purse and carry around with you for the day? Then you need MAGFAST Life.
Or maybe you’re happy to carry around a bigger charger if it means you get more battery capacity. In that case, you need MAGFAST Extreme – still sleek enough to easily be carried in your backpack all day, but with enough power to keep your devices going for days.
Connection Type and Compatibility
Most Android phones will use either a micro-USB or the newer USB-C connection type for charging. This means that the portable charger you choose for your Android will need to accommodate either of these connector types.
MAGFAST chargers are fully compatible with every single smartphone. So, with a MAGFAST charger, you can charge via USB-C, micro-USB, USB-A, Qi wireless charging, and even Apple Lightning (for the people in your life who you haven’t convinced to switch just yet!). With MAGFAST chargers, you can charge multiple devices at once, using the different charging ports or go wireless with the Qi pad so you can keep all your devices powered up anytime.
It’s not only smartphones that MAGFAST can keep powered. Our chargers are also compatible with every type of tablet and e-reader and can also charge wireless headphones and handheld games consoles. The best portable charger for Android will be a charger that is compatible with all your devices, meaning you won’t have to carry lots of different chargers with you. Just put your MAGFAST charger into your bag and away you go!
Wireless Charging Capabilities
Most newer Android phones support wireless charging, and so your ideal Android portable charger will be able to offer wireless charging as well as charging via a cable.
MAGFAST Extreme is the world’s first portable charger to have three wireless charging pads, along with the multiple other ways to get power out via cables. Extreme and MAGFAST Life both use the latest Qi wireless charging technology, ensuring your Android phone, and any other device that supports it, get the most efficient and reliable wireless charge possible.
Trustworthy Brand
Cheaper chargers from less reputable brands will be unlikely to last as long as premium chargers. By buying a charger from a reputable charging brand, like MAGFAST, you can ensure you’re using a high-quality product. MAGFAST products are smarter and more stylish than many of the usual chargers you’ll find on the market. They’ve been designed not only to look great but to also perform better than your standard charger. We make sure to meticulously test every product to make sure they’re durable, reliable and ready for everyday life.
