Phone with a battery capacity of 10000. Oukitel K10000 smartphone review. The model with the largest battery capacity in the world. Communication and communications

In the past year, Chinese smartphone manufacturers have begun integrating fingerprint sensors into their products one by one. As a result, in a matter of months this technology has penetrated even into the segment of smartphones below $ 100, getting rid of the “touch of exclusivity” and ceasing to be an important “selling point”. To lure customers, now you have to focus on other benefits, including battery capacity. It is growing rapidly: if a year ago smartphones with a battery with a capacity of more than 4000 mAh were a wonder, then in the fall of last year, models with a battery of more than 6000 mAh were announced. Such products have good autonomy, which is reminded by their large dimensions and weight, which are additionally increased due to the large diagonal of the screen. Do you remember that the Chinese have five inches - only a mini? But 6000 mAh is not the limit, which is proved by the new product from Oukitel.

Completion, appearance





In the initial price segment, it is customary to save on packaging design: simple printing and box materials, a unified design with other models. But Oukitel K10000 does not belong to the initial segment by Chinese standards, and therefore the designers were allowed to prove themselves. The usual rectangular packaging has a skin-like texture and is very pleasant to the touch, somewhat reminiscent of a soft-touch coating. Golden letters on a black background convey a minimum of information, but they cope with the task of attracting attention. However, the IMEI codes are still indicated on the box.






The package bundle is standard, but with some bias in the function of an external battery. The possibility of charging other devices is reminiscent of the microUSB-USB cable with a switch that activates the charge return mode. The Shenzhen Act APS-KI018W4E-G charger is also of interest. It changes the output voltage in the range of 5, 7 or 9 V at a current of up to 2 A. This is clearly done to speed up the battery charge, most likely, the legs grow from the program.










The complete translucent plastic case is already on the smartphone and does not catch the eye until the smartphone is taken out of the box. The lugs of the cover are attached to the side corners of the smartphone, while the sides remain open. The cover fits snugly and does not wobble, the cutouts for the camera and flash match exactly with the location of these elements on the smartphone.



The Oukitel K10000 smartphone looks brutal, this design has both supporters and opponents. The sides of the case are made of aluminum alloy, the upper and lower inserts (with the earpiece and call speakers) are made of polycarbonate, but visually they almost merge with the metal edging.




The back panel is edged with soft-touch plastic: a good solution that provides a good grip on the hand. The central part of the back panel is made of metal and bears a stylized image of a bull. Most of the elements of the case are made in a single harsh and rough style: the grille of the earpiece and call loudspeaker, the rear camera window, the volume control buttons - everything hints at the "off-road" qualities of Oukitel K10000. Unfortunately, there is no dust and moisture protection here, but it would finally form the image of a smartphone ready for all adversity. So far, we are offered only an outstanding battery capacity, and the accompanying features (very large weight and thickness) are hidden by a successful catchy design. The smartphone cannot be disassembled and the battery is not replaceable by the user. The memory card and SIM are installed in the basket on the left side, which can be removed with a complete lever.








The headphone jack is located on the upper end, the lower one contains two loudspeaker grilles (although there is only one speaker), a microphone and a microUSB port. The lock and volume buttons are located on the right side, but due to their location, the thumb rests on the volume down key, not the lock, which is problematic to reach. The situation is saved by the different shape of the volume and lock keys, so as you get used to the smartphone, erroneous presses will be minimized. The front camera lacks a flash, but the rear one has got a two-segment LED flash.


The body of the Oukitel K10000 smartphone has no gaps or crevices, the quality of the fit of metal and plastic parts is high. No squeaks when squeezing / twisting were noticed.

Screen and sound

A screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels looks great on a screen less than five inches, but at 5.5 inches, graininess can be seen with the naked eye. It does not hurt the eyes at all, but it is noticeable when compared with a screen of identical diagonal, but with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. In terms of pixel density, Oukitel K10000 is inferior to many competitors: even smartphones with a price of about $ 150 now often offer Full HD screens, and for $ 180 (the price of this model) such smartphones are the overwhelming majority. But everything is not so simple here - as the resolution grows, the power consumption of the screen and backlight also grows, the smartphone consumes faster in resource-intensive games. So Oukitel engineers, choosing between "screen" and "autonomy", chose the latter.

An IPS matrix is ​​used, which provides excellent viewing angles, when viewed from different angles, the image only slightly turns yellow or blue, but remains legible. The minimum brightness is low enough for working in a dark room, but not all Chinese devices have it capable of dropping to comfortable values. The maximum brightness is good for an IPS screen and will be sufficient when working outdoors on a sunny day, but without a lot of headroom. Automatic brightness control works smoothly, with a delay of several seconds after changing the ambient light level.

The audio path of the Oukitel K10000 smartphone does not contain expensive amplifiers or DACs for the ringing speaker or headphones. As a result, the ringer speaker has an average volume and is devoid of bass, but quite clear sounding. The BesLoudness function will help to correct the situation with loudness, which noticeably increases the average level in musical compositions, but leaves the signal peaks intact (according to subjective sensations). The sound in the headphones is of high quality, in no way inferior to models with flagship Qualcomm SoCs without specialized DACs or operational amplifiers. The headphones lack the background noise that sometimes occurs on other smartphones. One can only complain about the lack of a large volume margin, but it is just enough for in-channel models.

Photo

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone is equipped with a rear camera with a two-segment LED flash. The camera resolution is stated as 13 megapixels, but at least one store indicates that in fact it is 8 megapixels, and everything else is a matter of murky hands of interpolation. The camera software does not differ from other devices based on MediaTek platforms, except that it includes the ability to shoot HDR and apply a few simple effects (sepia, negative, etc.). There is also a front camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels, with interpolation up to 5 megapixels.

All pictures were taken in automatic mode. To test the capabilities of the sensor, I compared it with the Nubia Z7 Mini, which has an honest 13MP sensor. Above is a snapshot of Oukitel, below is Nubia, with the first two photos taken at 8 megapixel resolution, forcedly installed on both smartphones:













Above Oukitel, below Nubia. Snapshots 8 megapixels (left) and 13 megapixels (right)

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone is not inferior to, and in some places even surpasses the Nubia Z7 Mini in terms of image clarity at a resolution of 8 megapixels. The results are generally good, with a competent "noise reduction", although the color gamut is noticeably shifted to warm tones. But with a native resolution of 13 megapixels, Oukitel K10000 already loses a lot in image clarity, this is very similar to the result of interpolation. I advise all owners of Oukitel K10000 to shoot at 8 Mp (which gives the best quality) and not waste space on the memory card. ...

OS and interface

All firmwares for Oukitel K10000 smartphone are currently based on Android 5.1, but the graphical interface has been redesigned. Now all system and user applications are grouped on desktops (like in iOS) instead of the main menu. You can create folders and even choose themes, although there are only two of the latter and they only change the style of the icons. There is also a working wireless update function that does its work in automatic mode and shows a list of changes in the new firmware.

WhatsApp, Opera Mini and Clean Master are installed, more significant changes are hidden in the settings menu. There are several points for controlling gestures at once: you can customize the behavior of the phone during an incoming call and conversation, launch the camera, take screenshots and adjust the volume with a simple movement of two or three fingers.

A separate menu item is responsible for recognizing gestures when the screen is off: just draw "m" with your finger on the off screen to start / pause the music player, "c" to enter the phone book, swipe down to launch the camera, or up to unlock, etc. .d ..

Finally, the Float Gesture menu item allows you to record your gestures to launch any system or custom application. These gestures only work in a special widget that can move around the screen, and clicking on it opens a radial menu with several items, among which there is also gesture recognition. An interesting function, but to launch the application, you need to make quite a lot of body movements, sometimes it is faster to find the desired program in the menu. Only one-finger gestures are supported, without taking off the screen. If these gestures can be recognized in the future even when the screen is off, then the benefits of "Float Gesture" will increase markedly.

Those users who, since the last charging of their Oukitel K10000 smartphone, will have time to forget about the need to recharge, the Power Saver utility will come in handy. It can activate the basic functionality mode in case the battery charge suddenly falls below 10% (you can also choose between 20% and 30%). In this mode, all wireless networks, the music will stop and the screen backlight will go out, and the user will have only three functions: calls, contacts and SMS. You can return to normal functionality only by exiting economy mode.

Hardware platform and performance

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone is based on the MediaTek MT6735P SoC, which differs from the usual MT6735 in the reduced frequency of the processor cores. The four cores ARM Cortex-A53 are clocked at 1 GHz, instead of 1.3 GHz, the picture is complemented by the GPU ARM Mali-T720, related to the entry level. With such a SoC, the Oukitel K10000 smartphone is unlikely to be able to claim leadership in gaming applications, its choice does not seem very justified for a $ 180 smartphone. But, as with the screen, in this case the company could focus on autonomy and only last but not least on performance. While competitors offer smartphones based on SoC with similar cores, but in the amount of eight pieces, with a frequency above 1.5 GHz, but with a "one-day" battery with a capacity of about 2500 mAh, Oukitel decided to follow the adage "the quieter you drive, the further you will be."

The amount of RAM is 2 GB - not a record, but sufficient level for all everyday applications, and for the MediaTek MT6735P SoC, more volume is simply not needed. After loading the OS, more than 1300 MB of RAM remain free. Built-in flash memory with a capacity of 16 GB, of which 11.6 GB are available to the user, there is also a slot for microSD cards up to 32 GB. It's time to evaluate the performance of Oukitel K10000 in test applications:






The test results can be called very modest, although they correspond to the level of SoC MT6735P. It is more than two times inferior to the MT6753 model, which is found even in more affordable smartphones than today's hero. In terms of hardware specifications (excluding the battery), the Oukitel K10000 is a clear underdog for its price. How are things going in real games?




In Real Racing 3, the gameplay in places resembles gif-animation: at a frame rate of about 15 fps, it is difficult to control a high-speed car. The situation is weakly dependent on the number of cars on the screen, even when there is a clear track in front of the player, the frame rate remains low. Asphalt 8 with high image settings is still not comfortable to play, at medium settings the fps is acceptable, at low settings it is optimal. In Dead Trigger 2, the situation is better, fps sags only in complex scenes with an abundance of effects on the screen, which happens infrequently.

With active use, you may encounter a slowdown and "thoughtfulness" of the smartphone. Active surfing in the Play Market while installing applications will certainly remind you of the modest characteristics of the platform used. In navigation applications, when downloading offline maps and 3D visualization, you also do not have to rely on an instant response from the interface. Working with the OS is reminiscent of the experience of using flagship smartphones four years ago (with the then current version of Android OS), the "thoughtfulness" of the interface is present, but not so noticeable as to interfere with everyday work.

Communication and communications

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone works in the networks GSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 1900/2100 and FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600. Two Micro card SIMs are installed in a removable basket, but when a memory card is inserted, only one slot for a Micro SIM will remain free.

Wi-Fi speed was tested when connected to a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND router (first revision), for which the limit is 300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. The tariff plan provides speeds up to 100 Mbps. The smartphone was at a distance of one meter in line of sight from the router:

Upload and download reached 66 and 69 Mbps, respectively, which is a very good result. There are also more modest readings in the table, they were obtained when connecting to another server.

In the open air, the smartphone quickly finds navigation satellites, the connection quality is not bad, as well as the sensitivity.

Autonomous work

This section is key for a smartphone with a 10000mAh battery. Oukitel K10000 with the screen brightness and speaker volume fixed at 50% and Wi-Fi turned on, performed as follows in PCMark and AnTuTu Tester tests:

Almost 26 hours in the PCMark test is an outstanding result, a rare smartphone shows more than 7 hours in this application. The reverse side of the medal was the size, weight and whimsicality in chargers. My Tronsmart Smart USB Charger charged the Oukitel K10000 smartphone at a rate of about 2-3% per hour. At the same time, this charger is able (in most cases) to determine the connected load and provide the optimal charging speed, but Oukitel K10000 has become an exception. With the complete charger, the smartphone was charged from 14% in an hour to 46%, after another hour the charge level was already 78%. Thus, the complete charger charges the battery by more than 30% per hour. The capriciousness of a smartphone leads to the fact that in a limited time it makes sense to charge it only with a complete charger, other network adapters are unlikely to provide an acceptable charging speed.

Outcomes

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone can be recommended to users who find themselves far from the outlet for a long time, and from civilization in general. With such a product, you can be sure that mobile connection and GPS will be available a week (or even longer) after the last charge of the built-in battery. But on a long hike, you shouldn't rely on one smartphone, you should take at least one external battery to the company. A brutal appearance can be a plus, depending on individual preferences.


The rest of the buyers should keep in mind that impressive battery life was achieved, among other things, due to the use of the rather weak MediaTek MT6735P SoC, which is found in noticeably more affordable smartphones. But if the modest performance and screen resolution, the use of interpolation in the camera are not important factors when choosing a smartphone, then Oukitel K10000 can be considered.

The largest smartphone manufacturers do not release models with really powerful batteries. As they stopped at the 5000 mAh mark, they stand on it. And some, like HTC and Samsung, cannot even surpass 4000 mAh. It is quite understandable: large and wealthy companies can afford to optimize the power consumption of a smartphone in other ways, for example, using the latest generation of energy-efficient screens and modern 10-nanometer chipsets.

On the other hand, the "old-fashioned method" - the use of a really large battery - is also quite effective. In this rating you will find 7 smartphones with really serious batteries - from 6000 mAh and more. Perhaps, in order to "squeeze" the maximum operating time out of this or that device, you will have to tinker with the software, but on the other hand, these devices are mostly inexpensive.

7. BlackView P2 (6000 mAh, 11900 rubles)

A metal smartphone with 4 GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a medium-sized MediaTek chipset and so on - in a word, a typical inexpensive Chinese device of the 2017 model. If not for one "but": the battery here is about twice as large as the usual - at 6000 mAh. We will venture to assume that she will last four days without problems. Unless, of course, you get a copy with normal, not crooked firmware - when buying smartphones from small Chinese brands, this happens all the time. Then you have a way to the specialized forums, where the "pickers" of these very firmware sit. They will help.

6.Ulefone Power 2 (6050 mAh, about 10 thousand rubles)

This device also cannot boast of top-end features - a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a mediocre MediaTek MT6750T chipset, and so on. In general, everything is about the same as that of the BlackView model. And the battery is practically the same - 6050 mAh. And the situation is the same with the firmware. Ideally, you can count on a few days of confident work, but in practice - as it goes.

5. Oukitel K6000 Plus (6080 mAh, about 10 thousand rubles)

And again, a Chinese smartphone with a battery around 6000 mAh (the developers are talking about 6080), a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a MediaTek chipset, a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel and other set of features typical for mid-range devices from the Middle Kingdom. Against the general background, Oukitel stands out, perhaps, only by its pedigree - the company has been dealing with smartphones with powerful batteries for a long time and was even able to set a number of records (about one of them a little below).

4. + Moto TurboPower Pack (2730 + 3490 = 6220 mAh, more than 60 thousand rubles)

Motorola Z2 Force has a not very capacious battery - only 2730 mAh. But! For Motorola smartphones, as you know, Moto Mods back covers are available with different functionality, including batteries. And if you attach a Moto TurboPower Pack with its 3490 mAh to the Z2 Force, then the total will be 6220 mAh. An inelegant solution, you say? We disagree: Motorola has made this back panel very thin, so with it the device will be only slightly larger than a typical smartphone. And yes, the Moto TurboPower Pack fits in with a number of other Motorola Z-series models ,. We put the Moto Z2 Force here only for the reason that it is the most unusual in the Motorola line - the screen of this model is very difficult to break.

3. Highscreen Easy Power (8000 mAh, 7490 rubles)

The model combines very simple components (1 GB of RAM, a weak MediaTek chipset, a 5-inch screen with HD-resolution), but a gigantic 8000 mAh battery. As a result, the smartphone works for a long time. On the other hand, the weak filling disposes to use it as a means of communication and access to the Internet, but certainly not for the same games.

2. (3100 + 6900 mAh = 10000 mAh, 13990 rubles)

This smartphone comes with removable 3100 and 6900 mAh batteries, as well as back panels for each of them. I put in the first battery - I got a relatively thin device with a couple of days of "autonomy" in stock, I put in the second - and here you have another three or four days. In total, in theory, it comes out about a week. The Highscreen Boost 3 SE Pro is equipped with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a slightly outdated 8-core MediaTek chipset (after all, the smartphone is more than two years old) and a 13 megapixel camera. The model features an advanced audio system, including an ESS9018K2M DAC and an ADA4897-2 amplifier.

1. (10000 mAh, about 11 thousand rubles)

If the K10000 model turned out to be rather unsuccessful (a few details -), then the K10000 Pro has a chance to rehabilitate the manufacturer. The device received a more modern (and faster) hardware platform and, I would like to believe, a normally optimized firmware. Which, together with a monstrous 10000 mAh battery, will allow it to work for a really long time. Do you want to check how tenacious it is? Order. It is relatively inexpensive and, among other things, offers a design in the style of "a little collective farm replica of Vertu". However, from a distance of a couple of meters, this "collective farm" is no longer striking.

Hello everyone. There is an opportunity to acquaint you with interesting news. Last time we reviewed an interesting watch in terms of autonomy. And today it is no less unique thing. On the review Oukitel K10000 with a 10000mah battery. I propose to get acquainted with this monster in more detail and see what it is capable of.

The phone comes in a stylish black box, which is not a shame to give it to. On the surface there is an imitation under some kind of skin, only a crocodile comes to mind. On the upper part, the inscription of the manufacturer's company is made in glossy golden paint. On the underside is the manufacturer's address and some information on the charger.


The inside of the box is finished in black velvet. Looks very stylish. Let's take a look at each item of the complete set separately.


The tray for sim cards and memory cards is located on the side, so there is a paper clip in the box. Charger for 5/7 / 9V and 2A. Fully charges your phone in 3.5 hours.


I checked the charging using a tester. We failed to get more than 1.61A.


Further there is protective film and a cloth for cleaning the screen.


OTG cable and cable for charging and data transmission.


Separately, in a black paper envelope with a golden inscription, there is an instruction for this phone.


And a plastic case on the back. The side faces are transparent.

Appearance

The phone looks very brutal and massive. The device's screen is 5.5 inches. There are no round smooth edges on the front side. There is a metal frame around the perimeter. In general, I think the manufacturer managed to stand out with the design of this phone from the gray mass of similar devices.


On the left side edge there is a tray for sim cards and memory cards. You can use 2 sim cards or 1 sim card and a memory card at the same time. That is, the tray is combined. There are rivets on the bottom and top.






At the bottom of the screen are the Menu-Back-Home buttons. They are not highlighted.


At the top of the screen, from right to left, there are a 5MP camera, a light and proximity sensor, and an earpiece. The speaker is framed in a nice grille.


On the right side there is a phone on / off button and a volume rocker. The buttons do not play, everything is done fine. For me, it's more familiar when they are located on the right side.




At the top of the end there is a headphone jack. I don't really like it when the audio output and microusb are spaced at different ends.


The microphone is located at the bottom on the right end. There are also 2 speakers here. Outwardly they look powerful, but only one of them is real, the one on the right. A microusb port with OTG function was placed between the speakers.


The back side looks no less brutal and powerful than the front of the phone. The cover is metal and riveted, the battery is not removable. A rubberized part is located around this cover.


There is a stylized image of a bull on the lid. This is due to the name of the models of this manufacturer for the domestic market. It looks impressive.


At the top, there is a dual LED flash and a 13MP camera.


At the bottom is the name of the manufacturer.


In combination with a metal frame and a capacious battery, this phone cannot be lightweight, but even I am a little surprised. Weight 318g. You can't wear it in a breast pocket, you can easily tear it off. But I think that the target audience will not be repelled by the weight.

Screen

This model has a 5.5 "screen with HD, IPS, OGS resolution. The screen is good. At large angles the picture remains clearly visible. I think 178 degrees will be in this model. The phone has a sufficient margin of brightness. In sunny weather, you can see the picture on the screen without any problems I did not notice any distortions or loss of quality. For me it is not comfortable to read books at minimum brightness. But there are owners of this model who are satisfied with everything in this regard.





Firmware

This model has Android 5.1 installed. In the future, the manufacturer promises a sixth version. There is no desktop on the phone, applications are located right on the screens. The icons have their own design that is different from the standard one. Installed play market and there is Clean master. Purely Chinese applications have not been noticed.


There is a circle on the screen. If you click on it, then additional menus drop out. This circle can be turned off in the settings. I liked the presence of the Game mode, when selected, the lower buttons of the screen are blocked and you can safely play. Sometimes, accidentally during the game, you can click on one of them and throw it out of the game - it's annoying.


The phone has 2GB of RAM, but from the start 1.5GB is available to the user. Of the 16GB of built-in memory, 11.59GB is available. The built-in memory can be expanded with 32GB memory cards.


In this model, it is possible to receive updates by air, but at the time of testing nothing arrived. There is a menu with guesthouses, but they, like in many phones, are not fully translated. And there is a separate application for saving battery power.

Performance tests, networks, autonomy.

Games

Based on the hardware of this phone, it becomes clear that this is not a gaming phone. In Asphalt8, at the highest settings, fps starts to sag. Recall that in Epic Citadel at ultra high settings, it produced 21 frames per second. At medium settings, everything is fine. To check the quality of the touchscreen, I used a Nibbler toy. Why is this done? It so happens that you press in one sector of the phone, and another is triggered. Everything is good in this model. You can watch the games in the video review.

Camera

The front camera is 2MP interpolated up to 5MP, and the rear camera is 8MP interpolated with auto focus up to 13MP. The original files can be downloaded from the link Video is recorded in FullHD with 3gp extension. An example of a video recording with a sound check can be seen in the video review.



































As always, I am doing a video review. In it, you can look at the testing process in games, OTG testing and sound recording quality testing when shooting video.

Output

The phone has mediocre cameras, so you shouldn't expect much from them. Both are interpolated, rear with auto focus. 2GB of RAM is enough for everyday tasks and comfortable surfing the Internet. Of the 16GB of internal memory, almost 11GB is available to the user, but it can be increased by using 32GB memory cards. This model uses a combined slot for 2 sim cards and a memory card. You can use 2 SIM cards or a SIM card and a memory card at the same time. Now this is the situation with many manufacturers in new phones. In Antutu, the phone dials a little over 24000, about the same result in Cubot P11. The phone has a good screen with a wide range of brightness. Subjectively, for me, the brightness at the minimum level is a lot for reading books, but other owners are happy. The viewing angles are good, you can see the picture on the screen without any problems outdoors. At the highest settings in Asphal8 fps sags a little, in Epic Citadel at ultra high it gives out 21fps. The advantages of this phone are the presence of OTG and 4G. The disadvantages include the absence of an event indicator. I often have the sound turned off on work issues and this thing saves me.

Externally, the phone stands out due to the broken lines on the body and dimensions. There is a metal frame around the screen. I remember I was on the subway and half of the carriage watched with interest what I was holding in my hands. The back side looks no less impressive: the black metal plate and the bull also attract attention. But 318gr. the phone weighs not only because of the metal. The battery is installed at 10000mah, it is not removable. The phone is able to hold out for 14.5 hours in heavy games with the included communication networks, wi-fi and 100% screen brightness. This is the best result to date.

Of course, this phone has already found and will find its own category of buyers, but this model is not for me: you cannot put it in a shirt pocket. And according to information from the manufacturer, Android 6.0 and a fingerprint scanner are expected in the updated model, but this is in the second half of the year.

Thank you all for your attention.

Where can I buy?
I liked the review +17 +50

Power bank quickly burst into our life and became a real salvation! This device will come to the rescue at any time and charge the phone. Now there is no need to run around with a charger, look for an outlet, literally "hang" on this wire while waiting for the phone to charge.

It is enough to carry it with you in your power bank bag to always be sure that the phone will not let you down at a crucial moment.

And today I'll tell you about mine.

Price: 21$

Where can I buy: in online hardware stores or in regular stores. I purchased on itbox

Before a long journey, I did not even hesitate to buy a power bank. I knew that he would always back up and help out when there was no outlet nearby. And now I can't imagine life without this device!

I chose the best option - 10,000 mAh. The cost of the power bank was about $ 21 + they also gave a guarantee for a year, and if something happens, you can always contact the support service.

About the device:

The second generation Xiaomi Mi Powerbank has a capacity of 10,000 mAh, and the charging speed has noticeably increased. The classic design and minimalist design still perfectly emphasize the unique style, and the low weight of the device will allow you to take it to work and travel.

Registration. The power bank was originally packaged in a white box containing all the necessary information about the device. Basically I keep it that way power bank in a box - it is quite compact. But I plan to buy a cover to make it look more beautiful.



There are two compartments inside the box: for the power bank and for the cable. There are also two instructions for different languages, which describe what the connector is for.




The power bank itself is dark gray, matte, cold and heavy... And I don't like that. It's really heavy, and if you put something else in the bag, it will pull your hand off.

On the one hand there is lights, signaling the level of charge of the device, and a button, by pressing which, you can find out how much charge is left. It is very convenient! And while the power bank itself is charging, the lights blink and show how much more you need to wait for a full charge. There are four lights. And sometimes the charging indicator of the power bank itself and the total charging does not match- in the first case it shows one light, and in the second - two, for example. But this is not critical.


Also located here two connectors: small and larger. The small one is needed to charge the power bank itself, and the large one is needed to charge the phone from the power bank. Here I do not like the material - all marks and scratches remain on it. If the cable does not get into the connector the first time, a scratch will remain.... And this side does not look very nice. At the manufacturer's site, I would suggest some kind of protective sticker to protect the device from scratches.


On the other hand - information about the device:


The cable included with the power bank is white, dense. This cable is used to charge the phone: the thin side is inserted into the phone, and the thicker side is inserted into the power bank.


Immediately after connecting the phone to the power bank, the charge lamp lights up - everything is as in the usual case of charging the phone.


How to charge the power bank? To do this, you need to use a phone charger.


How long does the power bank take to charge? Almost all night. This is to fully charge - until the fourth light bulb shines steadily. But I rarely bring the device to full discharge and put it on recharge if the first or second light is on.

How long does a 10000 mAh charge last? The battery capacity of my phone is 2070 mAh. Therefore, the capacity of the power bank should be enough for almost 5 full charges. But keep in mind that 10,000 mAh is the maximum. On average, the real capacity of an external battery is about 8000 mAh.

I make sure that the phone is never completely discharged, so it is difficult for me to answer the question of a full charge. On average, I put the phone on recharge when about 20% of the battery charge remains. Under such conditions a full charge of the power bank is enough for 5-7 times.

I put "4", not "5" because of the scratches that occur. The manufacturer could stick on a protective film. For me, the appearance of the device is very important! And the weight is embarrassing - the power bank is heavy.
