Compact power banks have dramatically improved in the past year, particularly with the introduction of Qi2.2-certified models that can wirelessly charge devices like the iPhone 16 and Pixel 10 at up to 25W.
This new standard combines fast charging speeds with MagSafe compatibility, making it a must-have accessory for those who frequently top up their phones on the go. However, while newer iPhones support these high-speed chargers, older models like the iPhone 16E and even some Android options lag behind in terms of wireless charging capabilities.
Our tests reveal that the Baseus PicoGo AM52 leads in wireless speeds for Qi2.2 devices, consistently topping out at 65% charge on an iPhone 17 Pro Max within an hour. It's a no-frills design with a sleek aluminium case and soft-touch magnetic side to protect your phone during charging.
The Iniu SnapGo Air also performs well in wireless tests but struggles slightly when it comes to wired charging speeds, making the AM52 the best overall pick for those prioritising both modes of power. Whether you're an iPhone or Pixel user, these batteries offer a seamless and efficient way to keep your devices powered up.
