Pros: When I plug my phone into this bank, the estimated charge time is usually faster than when I plug it into its OEM 2.0 charger. (I need to do more testing to verify "how much faster", but it has been faster, which surprised me, since it should be locked at 2.0 speeds).
Solid quick charge, no complaints. It didn't get hot charging the brick & it didn't get hot charging my phone. Even during use while charging, the phone is still gaining % not just losing %. I was very pleased it came with a plug, cable & bag, all Quick Charge rated.
Even if the phone isn't QC 3.0, the brick is so it can charge faster.
The phone battery is 3000, the bank is 10040. Math says it should only be able to charge a little over 3 times. Actual use of the unit defies the math.
American in the good sense of what Made In America should mean.
It doesn't have any stupid features that can accidentally drain power from the device while you carry it, like a button that sticks out for a flash light. Thank you Anker for design that should be obvious, but often gets overlooked.
Cons:
It's heavier, larger and more expensive than some options. It doesn't do pass through charging. Only charge one device at a time.
There's not a switch to keep the lights off, while charging.
Other thoughts:
I probably could have gotten a cheaper anker product that is Quick 2.0 in and out and more Mah, but I hope it will be worth the investment. Time will tell whether I find myself buying other banks for the missing features and how well this one holds up. The worst bank I ever bought is still functional, so I expect a lot from this one.
This pack:
-is very small, but a little chubby, like a deck of cards
-charges very fast
-doesn't get super hot when it charges or is charging
-has a straightforward LED power/charge indicator
-scuffs and scratches pretty easily
I can confirm that if you use the USB cable THAT COMES WITH YOUR PIXEL (aka the USB A to the USB C, not the USB C to USB C), it WILL fast charge. I can't confirm if it indeed charges in the same amount of time only because I didn't time it. However, it charged just as quickly. Logically speaking, it might be slightly slower since it won't support 9A but you'll still be charging really fast.
I recommend this is you are the type of individual who can't be plugged to a wall for more than 15 minutes. IE: You're on vacation abroad, road trip, camping, etc. If you're the type to be in the office most of the time, or you can find yourself jumping from place to place within a city, then don't bother - just bring your charger. Otherwise if you find yourself in those other categories, this is a great investment.
Smartphones have a habit of never making it through the day no matter what they claim the battery capacity to be. I've known this since I got my first smartphone 10 years ago, back when the batteries could be swapped out or replaced with a battery with twice the standard capacity.
Unfortunately, everyone wants to the iPhone which mean the convenience of swappable or larger batteries has gone away with the ability not to silhouette themselves in your pants pocket. That is where Anker's products come in.
Just about every job fair and carnival will promote giving out a 3600mAh battery. But let me explain the math of these little "lipstick batteries".
Anyone who has ever taken a physics class should know that the ampere is the SI unit of current equivalent to 1 coulomb of electrical charge per second. But the unit of electrical charge is the coulomb, measured at 1 ampere-second. 3600 coulombs are equivalent to 1000mAh (milliampere-hour) or 1 Ah (ampere-hour).
Soe what does 10050 mAh get you? roughly, 10 hours if the phone was left off, but you probably won't turn off your phone.
Nevertheless, most of the time, I get at least two charges out of this powerbank before it's depleted. And recharge is quick.
Regardless, if you work out of the office, or are a smartphone junkie, you'll definely want to have one of these at all times.

Para la capacidad que tiene es muy pequeño, aunque puede ser algo pesado y voluminoso para llevarlo en el bolsillo, en las fotos se puede ver la diferencia de tamaño respecto a una batería de 6700mAh. La carga es súper rápida, lo he probado con un Sony xperia Z5 compact que tiene Quick Charge 2.0, y ademas la capacidad que anuncian de 10050 parece ser cierta, una carga desde un 18% consume dos de las luces de carga, una carga desde un 45% consume una luz del indicador de carga. El indicador de carga me ha parecido muy útil al llevar una luz por cada 10% de carga restante.
La funda que trae esta bien, pero parece algo frágil y que se puede romper si se engancha en algún sitio al ser en forma de rejilla, es suficientemente grande para meter también el cable, pero hay que tener cuidado, ya que la pintura de la batería se marca con cierta facilidad. El cable que se incluye es bastante endeble, como se ve, si se compara con un cable bueno se ve la diferencia de los acabados y el grosor, por lo que os recomiendo comprar un cable aparte.

Mi ha subito impressionato la cura dei particolari, dalla scatola, agli accessori, ai foglietti informativi, alla qualità del sacchetto power bank ma soprattutto alla qualità del prodotto in sé. Di seguito elencherò i miei pro e i miei contro fino a questo momento, riservandomi di aggiornare eventualmente la recensione nel caso ritenessi importante aggiungere qualcosa.
Pro:
- QUALITA DEI MATERIALI altissima.
- design assolutamente apprezzabile.
- estrema COMPATTEZZA.
- estrema cura dei dettagli.
- ricarica dei dispositivi velocissima.
- ottimo rapporto tra mhA ideali e mhA effettivi a disposizione per le ricariche.
- AZIENDA veramente SERIA.
- ricarica della power bank molto veloce, incredibilmente invece se si utilizza l'adattatore a muro QC 3.0
Contro:
- prezzo elevato, ma si sa la qualità si paga e questo prodotto ci vale tutto.
- un pò pesante. La mia scelta è ricaduta su questa power bank per poterla portare, oltre che nello zaino, anche nel giubbotto o in tasca. Ma devo dire che comunque la compattezza compensa il peso eccessivo.
- la superficie della power bank si sporca facilmente con le impronte al tocco.
Di seguito allego delle foto scattate durante l'apertura del prodotto.

It comes in a small blue and white box and is very well packaged comes with a usb charging lead and a carry pouch so you don't damage or scratch it. The PowerCore can easily fit in one hand and feels nice and weighty, The casing is metal and feels very premium.
When charging the PowerCore there is 10 led lights on the button that spin around whilst charging showing you the charge level at the same time. As always with Anker they have colour coded there usb port to identify what the unit is capable. The unit gets warm whilst its charging at full power on Quick Charge 3.0 but that is to be expected but has a nice aluminium case to dissipate the heat generator.
Tests using a inline volt meter to test.
Note 3 - Fast Charges at (2A 5V)
Note 4 - Quick Charge 2.0 (2/3A 5/9V)
Nexus 6P - Fast Charges (2A 5V)
Samsung S6 - Quick Charge 3.0 (3/2/1.5A 5V to 12V)
The PowerCore can be Quick Charge 3.0 using a Quick Charge 3.0 charger. Very fast at charging the PowerCore.
Battery life is excellent giving its small form factor its smaller then a Note 3 and twice as thick as the Note 3.
So far this is the best charger I have had and is worth every penny and also very safe which you don't normally get from unnamed brands.
I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation, and I promised that my review is fair and honest.
