I know I need 3 charges a day, which a phone of 3000 mah (an S7), I need over 9000 Mah and a battery that really will have that, not something that claims more, but delivers less. I knew when I got a phone again without swappable batteries, I was going to have to get another power bank. They are never as small or light or cheap or reliable or fast and swapping out a charged battery, but they are a necessary adjunct for a power user.
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.

Smallest, yet most Powerful, Portable Charger on the Market.
It is amazing that Anker was able to pack this much power into such a small unit. I own the PowerCore II model, which had the QuickCharge 2.0 technology, and this model has the QC 3.0 with just slightly more mAh (50). Overall the size difference is negligible with the PowerCore+ taking the clear advantage.With the Quick Charge technology working for both Input and Output, it really enhances the product. For the Input (charging the unit itself), I recommend only using it with a QC 3.0 wall charger because it will take signifcantly longer using a lower amp input charger. For the OUtput (charging a Device), I have the Galaxy S8, which already had a great battery (even after a year now of owning it) and thus, I have only needed this to fully charge my phone once and with the QC technology. However, if I needed it to fully charge again, I am confident this unit would be able to do 2 full charges of the S8.Anker produces awesome products. Not one that I have owned has failed and if it was to fail, I know Anker would stand behind it. Until newer technology comes out, this Portable Charger will last a long time.If I had to pick one Con with the product, I would say its a little heavy, especially when compared to the previous model I own. However, I attribute that to its stronger and more durable Aluminum construction.I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for Portable Power, especially for the QC 3.0 technology.

PowerCore+ 10050 con Quick Charge 3.0

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.
