Anker vs INIU: Which Small Power Bank Should You Get?
Two of the most popular pocket power banks on Amazon are the Anker 10,000mAh and the INIU 10,000mAh. Both are small, both hold about two phone charges, and both come from brands that have been around for years. So which one?
Short answer: the Anker is the easiest to carry, and the INIU is the faster charger. Here's how they compare.

INIU 10000mAh 45W Power Bank
The INIU charges at up to 45W, which is fast enough for a phone and even some small laptops and tablets. The cable is detachable, so if it breaks you just swap it instead of tossing the whole power bank.
Best for: people who want fast charging or charge more than just a phone.

Before you buy
Pick the INIU if speed matters or you want to top up a tablet or small laptop. Pick the Anker if you want the simplest grab-and-go option with a cable that's always there.
Either way, check that your phone supports fast charging and use a good USB-C cable. And if you fly, both are small enough for carry-on rules, which allow power banks in your carry-on bag, not checked luggage.
