Performance Breakdown
1. Wired Charging: The Universal Savior
This is where the Vention power bank truly shines. Whether you’re an Android user with a USB-C cable, an iPhone user with a Lightning cable, or someone with an older device that uses USB-A, this power bank has you covered. The ability to output up to 22.5W means you can get a significant power boost quickly. We tested it with a Samsung Galaxy S23 and an iPhone 14, and both charged rapidly from low battery levels.
2. Wireless Charging: Convenient with a Caveat
The magnetic wireless feature is a game-changer for iPhone 12-15 users. The magnets are strong enough to hold the phone securely, allowing for a “snap-and-charge” experience. It’s incredibly convenient for topping up your battery without fumbling for cables.
However, it’s important to manage expectations:
-
For MagSafe iPhones: The connection is solid, but the wireless charging speed is standard Qi speed (typically 7.5W for certified MagSafe accessories, 15W for official Apple MagSafe). It won’t charge as fast as a wired 20W connection, but it’s perfect for maintaining your charge throughout the day.
-
For Non-Magnetic Qi Devices: The power bank will still charge other Qi-enabled phones and earbuds, but you will need to place it carefully on the center of the charging coil, and it may not hold as securely without the magnets.
