Anker's MagGo Power Bank 2 Pro snaps onto a phone's back, but a review says it works best with iPhones. Android owners should check first.
Anker has a new portable battery called the MagGo Power Bank 2 Pro. It snaps onto the back of a phone and charges it. A review from Android Authority calls it a great charger, but says it is not at its best with Android phones.
The power bank attaches to the back of a phone with magnets. There is no cable to plug in. You stick it on and the phone charges while you use it. The review calls the charger great and the headline calls it brilliant.
Snap-on magnetic charging started on iPhones. Because of that, many Android phones need extra help to use it. The review's verdict is that the product is a strong charger, but Android owners do not get the full benefit.
iPhone owners are the clearest fit, since the idea began on that phone. Android owners may still find it useful, but it depends on the phone. The material does not say which Android models work well, or what the extra help involves.
The material does not give a price, a ship date, the battery size or the charging speed. It also does not list tested phones. The full review text was not available, so those details are worth checking before you buy.
Before buying a snap-on power bank for an Android phone, confirm the phone supports magnetic charging.
