Power bank
Powerbanks for many of us are a lifeline when we are on the move or far away from a charging outlet. The Zinq 20000mAh Lithium Polymer powerbank is a low-cost device that supports Qualcomm quick charge 3.0, that's 18W charging.
It has dual USB ports allowing you to charge up to two devices at the same time. You can even charge your device with the USB C port, which can also be used to recharge the powerbank. Other than the USB C it also has a micro-USB port.
The bundled wire in the box is a micro-USB, which is a little disappointing. The powerbank has a LED charge indicator that can indicate how much juice is still left in the batteries.
As far as looks go, this isn't the best-looking charger out there, it is thick and heavy, but it gets the job done. Zinq also claims that these are Lithium Polymer batteries, which means they are safer than Lithium-ion alternatives.
The biggest advantage Zinq has though is its very competitive pricing. Its suggested retail price is Rs 999 but if you wait and watch on online stores you could snap it up for as little as Rs 799. The great thing is Zinq works and I have been using it for over a month with no heating issues or reduced performance. So, if you don't mind the bulk, this powerbank is a good workhorse at a very economical price.
