Anker Nano Power Bank 10,000mAh 30W vs Anker Nano Power Bank MagGo Slim 5K

Both are small Anker Nano packs, but they solve different problems. The A1638 has a built-in foldable USB-C cable and two USB-C ports, so it charges phones and tablets without a loose cable; owners rate it 4.7 from 6,700 ratings. The MagGo A1665 snaps magnetically to a phone and charges wirelessly at up to 15W Qi2, which is convenient but ties you to MagSafe-style phones and loses charge to wireless heat. Buy the cable model for tablets, Android phones and travel; buy the MagGo for a MagSafe iPhone you want to top up without plugging in.

  • Choose the Anker Nano 10K with built-in cable if you carry a tablet or Android phone and want a cable that can never be left behind.
  • Choose the Anker MagGo 5K if you have a MagSafe iPhone and want to snap a pack on and charge without a cable.

What reviewers say

Anker Nano Power Bank 10,000mAh 30W

  • 4.7 / 56,700 ratings

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from about 6,700 ratings, buyers generally like the convenience of the built-in cable and the small size. Complaints tend to center on the short attached cable and on how much charge it actually delivers.

What people mention
  • Built-in cablePraisedOwners like not needing to pack a separate charging cord.
  • SizePraisedBuyers describe it as small and easy to slip into a pocket or bag.
  • Charging speedPraisedFast charging is reported to top up phones quickly.
  • Cable lengthCriticisedThe 2 ft attached cable is called too short for comfortable use while charging.

Anker Nano Power Bank MagGo Slim 5K

  • 4.5 / 5703 ratings

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners like how thin and light it is compared with other magnetic power banks.
  • Magnet strengthPraisedThe magnet holds firmly enough to use the phone while attached.
  • CapacityCriticisedReviewers say 5,000mAh is enough for one charge, not a weekend.
  • Charging speedMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for charging a tablet?
The A1638. Its built-in USB-C cable and second port reach tablets directly. The MagGo's wireless pad only fits phones, so a tablet needs a separate cable.
Does the MagGo work with Android phones?
Only over its USB-C port. The magnetic 15W wireless charging needs a MagSafe iPhone or a magnetic case; most Android phones will not align or hold.
Which charges a phone faster?
Wired charging on either pack is quicker than the MagGo's 15W wireless. The A1638's cable avoids the heat and losses of wireless, so it tops up a phone faster in practice.
Is the MagGo worth stepping up to?
If you have a MagSafe iPhone and value snapping the pack on with no cable, yes. If you charge tablets or Android phones, the A1638's cable and dual ports serve you better.
Which is easier to carry?
They are close: 4.2 oz versus 4.3 oz and about the same thickness. The MagGo feels neater on a phone; the A1638's cable folds flat so nothing dangles.
Do either include a wall charger?
No. Both are battery packs only. You recharge them over USB-C with your own charger and cable; the A1638 has its cable built in, the MagGo does not.
