As I told you a few weeks ago, after a period of slight fogging, i powerbank have returned to being a widespread object.
Whether it is for the large amount of devices to always keep charged, or for the spread of devices with low autonomy such as foldablewalking around without a small supply of energy now seems almost impossible.
Companies such as Zendure which, born in 2013 in Silicon Valleyfor years now has specialized in the creation of Power Unit of the most disparate type; they range from pocket batteries to systems with solar panels and significantly larger capacities.
Today we will talk about the latest product in their catalog, that Super MiniGo born on Indiegogo and ready to debut on June 21st. It is a powerbank portable from 10,000 mAh “Hidden” under the guise of one compact camera.
Super MiniGo unboxing, content and testing
The Super MiniGo it is shipped in a very simple cardboard box, which briefly illustrates its characteristics and underlines its particular shape.
Inside the box we find in addition to the powerbank itself, a elastic rubber lace like the ones you use just for cameras and the USB type C cable with integrated USB adapter to be used both for charging the powerbank and at the output.
The package for sale should also include one warranty card and manuals, but not present in the trial version.
The idea of Zendureto emerge in a market where competition is now fierce, was that of propose an accessory with an attractive design able to get noticed; despite the model supplied to us for the test is a classic black, Super MiniGo it is proposed in two other colors or silver, called Space Silver and in a captivating colorway called Sunset Oceanwhich is reminiscent of the colors of sand and water.
In the model provided to us by Zendure you notice some spots in the body of the device, it is difficult to understand if it is a desired effect or a defect of the product, but it is right to point out, considering that we are talking about a powerbank that is not exactly cheap.
The weight is not exactly feather, in fact to hold a battery from 10,000 mAh using a sturdy plastic shell it takes well 224 gramswhich becomes easier to carry thanks to the lanyard.
The choice of this peculiar, almost vintage design is motivated by the presence of the camera at the lens wireless charger to be used for recharging all types of devices that provide this mode.
In this regard, an interesting feature is provided: having Super MiniGo an output for wireless charging of maximum 15W, by pressing the power button twice it is possible to set a slower charge to be used for those devices such as smartwatches that need less input power.
This particular mode, also used for wireless charging, is identified by a special icon on the display that indicates the remaining charge of the powerbank; it must be said that having inserted the display under a golden plastic is not a very good choice, at least from a strictly functional point of view, since it is often not perfectly visible and in general the brightness is greatly decreased.
As for the refills that I use USB A And USB C the output power varies from 20W to 22.5Wuseful for charging our devices in appreciably fast times, while for the complete recharge of Super MiniGo it takes about three hours.
Like other such products, given its quite large capacity, Super MiniGo can charge up to 3 devices at the same time; it is true that this operation would be even more convenient if the powerbank had an integrated cable system as seen in other competitors.
Also, curiously, despite being presented as a battery suitable for recharging products Apple, Zendure hasn’t put in a lightning terminalfor which an additional cable should be used separately for wireless charging.
However, charging is fast: any device is recharged to 50% of its battery in about half an hour.
