Best Power Banks for Samsung Galaxy Note 8

(Last Updated On: May 9, 2019)

So the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 may not have been a success due to having some battery problems and so it was discontinued. It was a great phone with all the latest specs at the time but now the Galaxy Note 8 has been released and this is a new and powerful beginning for the Samsung Note Series of smartphones.

As the Galaxy Note 8 has all the most powerful specs currently and it also has one of the best screens on the market today with a 6.3” Super AMOLED display.

With all that said, Samsung has taken just a small step back when it comes to the battery and charging with the Galaxy Note 8. That’s because the battery of the Galaxy Note 7 was a 3,500mAh battery capacity and now the Note 8 uses a 3,300mAh battery.

It’s still a large battery but when you consider that this one features a larger screen and far powerful processing power, more battery life would have been better. Also, this flagship smartphone uses Quick Charge 2.0 instead of the latest Quick Charge 3.0 and to be honest, we can understand why Samsung made these choices as they wanted to make sure that the Note 7 incident isn’t repeated.

Overall, with a lower battery capacity, but still with the usage of fast Quick Charge 2.0 charging, it’s a great idea to use a portable charger with your Note 8.

You’re Going to need more Power

That’s because no matter how much power you use with your Note 8 while you’re on-the-go, you can have your screen at full brightness, have lots of apps open and use it however you want because you have a portable source of power that you can charge your Galaxy Note 8 with.

Since a power bank can be so useful, it’s the main reason why we’ve chosen the best power banks for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Just to note (Pun intended) nearly all the power banks within this guide use Quick Charge 3.0 and that’s okay because Quick Charge 3.0 chargers are backward compatible with Quick Charge 2.0 devices and can still charge them at max charging speed.

Anker PowerCore+ 10050

Even though the Galaxy Note 8 has a high battery capacity, the usage of a rather medium capacity power bank is actually a very good idea. As these types of power banks allow you to be very portable with your Note 8 while you charge it at the same time.

This Anker PowerCore+ 10050 power bank is an example of such power banks as it has a power capacity of 10,050mAh and that’s enough to charge your Note 8 to its full power about two times.

This portable charger uses just a single USB port and even though it might seem strange, it’s a great powering design and that’s because you’re able to focus all the power capacity of this power bank on a single device at a time.

Quick Charge In and Out

The single port on this power bank features Quick Charge 3.0 and so you’re able to charge your Note 8 to its full power as fast as possible.

The recharging with this Anker charger is also really good, as it has a Micro-USB input port that also uses Quick Charge 3.0, and so it’s important to use a Quick Charge 3.0 USB wall charger when you recharge this power bank; doing so, will result in a full recharge within just 4 hours.

Last part that makes this charger great are the dimensions and that’s because it has a length of 3.7 inches and thickness of only 0.9 inches and therefore you’re able to place this power bank into your pocket.

Better yet, you can also stack your phone on top of this power bank while you charge and use it at the same time.

RAVPower 20,100mAh Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank

Going into the higher capacity range of portable chargers brings us this RAVPower 20100 charger. It has a 20,100mAh power capacity that’s able to charge your Note 8 to its full power about five times and as a result, you’re able to rely on this charger for a few days before you need to recharge it.

The output charging with this power bank is also really good and that’s because there are 3 output ports to charge your devices.

There are two USB-A ports with one of the ports using Quick Charge 3.0 that’s able to charge your Quick Charge compatible devices at their max power; the other USB-A port has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A that can charge most Non-Quick Charge devices at their max power too.

The third output port is the USB-C port that can be used with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable to charge USB-C compatible devices such as your Galaxy Note 8 if you don’t have a USB-A to USB-C charging cable but do have a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Recharging this RAVPower 20100 portable charger is also a great experience as you can either use the USB-C input port or Micro-USB input port to recharge it. The usage of a USB-C input port is really good as you can go from charging your Note 8 with the Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A port to recharging this power bank.

That said, the Micro-USB input port uses Quick Charge 3.0 and that is also a good option for recharging the power bank.

EasyAcc MegaCharge Doubin 16,750mAh Power Bank

The goal of a power bank shouldn’t only be that it has a high power capacity or having a very small size, and that’s because there isn’t always a balance with one side.

That’s why this EasyAcc MegaCharge 16,750mAh power bank is one of the best balanced portable chargers on the market, as it has a 16,750mAh power capacity that can charge a Galaxy Note 8 to its full power about 4 times.

With this power capacity, this power bank has a length of 5.3 inches and a thickness of 0.9 inches. Not the smallest portable charger but it’s small enough that you can actually hold this power bank in your hand while you charge and use your Galaxy Note 8.

When it comes to the charging speed, it’s very powerful. It has two output ports, with one of the ports using Quick Charge 3.0 and for Quick Charge, the port has a 5V/3.0A standard speed for Non-Compatible Quick Charge devices.

There’s another port that has a standard charging speed of 5V/3.0A and that’s one of the best parts of this charger as most power banks with standard ports have a speed of 5V/2.4A.

One of the Fastest Recharge Speeds

The recharging speed with this portable charger is a part that is on par with the Output charging. There are two input ports. One of the input ports is a USB-C input port that has a recharging speed of 5V/3.0A and the other one is a Micro-USB input port with a charging speed of 5V/2.0A.

You can use both of the input ports at the same time and when doing so, you’re able to get a 5A recharge speed that can fully recharge this MegaCharge 16,750mAh power bank within just 3.5 hours.

Vinsic 28,000mAh Power Bank with Quick Charge 3.0

High capacity power banks are very useful, however, it also matters what comes with the high power capacity as that’s what dictates the actual experience with the portable charger.

This Vinsic 28,000mAh power is a perfect high-capacity portable charger that has powerful charging and a great design too. Of course, the first part that we want to go through is the power capacity as it’s enough to charge your Galaxy Note 7 to full power about seven times.

That said, a 28,000mAh power capacity is a lot of power as it’s enough to charge smartphones and tablets quite a few times, so if you purchase this power bank then it’s going to be perfect for charging other devices to full power without depleting the entire power capacity.

Three Very Powerful Ports

The charging experience with this 28,000mAh power bank is one of the best parts of it, as it has three USB charging ports. It has two standard ports that each have a charging speed of 5V/2.4A and the max output of the standard portion of this portable charger is 3.1A.

Even though having a limit of power is generally not the best, in this case, it’s pretty good and that’s because you’re still able to use the max power of the third port which is the Quick Charge 3.0 port.

Yes, of course, one of the main reasons that we have to recommend this charger is because it has a Quick Charge 3.0 port that can be used at its full power while you’re still using the two other ports.

This Vinsic portable charger also uses a single Micro-USB input port that also uses Quick Charge, so just make sure that you use a Quick Charge USB wall charger when you do recharge it, as you’re going to want to recharge its very high 28,000mAh power capacity as fast as possible.

Design of this charger is also quite useful as it has an LCD screen that shows the power capacity in a percentage manner with three digits.

Portable chargers are already versatile charging electronics as they’re able to go with us anywhere. What makes them even better is the way that we’re able to charge our devices with the type of ports that some power banks use.

In this case, we have the Imazing 10,000mAh portable charger that has three output ports.

CRAVE Plus 10,000mAh Slim Power Bank with Quick Charge 3.0

Most of the time, when it comes to power banks that have small sizes, they usually don’t have a lot of power capacity, and neither do they have fast charging tech. That’s not really the case anymore, and that’s because this Crave PLUS portable charger actually has a good amount of charging power.

That’s because there’s a 10,000mAh of power capacity with this charger, and when you consider that this charger has a length of 6.2 inches, and a width of 0.4 inches. So this charger is basically the size of a smartphone.

Along with that very small size, this charger has two output charging ports. There’s a single USB-A port which features Quick Charge to charge your Galaxy Note 8 at its max charging speed. Then there’s a USB-C port which can be used with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable that has a 5V/3.0A charging speed.

Also, there are two input ports to recharge this power bank, but you can only use them once at a time. With one input being the USB-C port and the other one is the Micro-USB input, both of the ports can recharge this power bank at 5V/2.4A.

Tronsmart 20,000mAh Quick Charge 3.0 / USB-C Portable Charger

Coming from a brand that doesn’t have too many portable chargers on the market, Tronsmart is a brand that has few power banks but the ones that they do sell have some great quality. This 20,000mAh power bank of theirs is proof of that, as it has a high power capacity that can charge smartphones to full power many times.

Charging with this power bank is actually better than the power capacity since there are three ways to charge your devices from this power bank.

There are two USB-A ports, with one using Quick Charge that can charge a Note 8 at its max charging speed. The other USB-A port on this charger has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A. The one other output is the USB-C port which has a charging speed of 5V/3.0A.

Recharging this Tronsmart power bank can be done through one of two input ports. You can either use the USB-C port to recharge this power bank, which has a recharge speed of 5V/3.0A. Or you can use the Micro-USB input to recharge this power bank which actually uses Quick Charge.

We recommend using the Micro-USB input to recharge this power bank because it’s faster when you use a Quick Charge wall charger to recharge it.

Anker PowerCore+ 26800 Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0

Another Anker portable charger that we have to recommend is this PowerCore+ 26800 portable charger. This is the type of charger that you’re definitely going to want to get if you plan on charging your Note 8 along with other devices at the same time.

That’s because this power bank has a 26,800mAh power capacity that you can use to charge smartphones to their full power about 8 times without having to recharge this power bank.

Also, the reason that we’re saying this isn’t the type of charger that you would use to charge a single device is that there are three USB-A ports with this power bank.

The Ports

One of the ports uses Quick Charge, while the other two have a 5V/3.0A charging speed. The max output of this power bank is 6A, and you can still use the max power of the Quick Charge port while still charging another two devices at once.

With so much power capacity, this charger actually makes use of a good input for recharging. That’s because the single Micro-USB input uses Quick Charge to recharge, that said, you have to use a Quick Charge wall charger in order to recharge it at Quick Charge speeds, Anker does sell this PowerCore+ 26800 with a Quick Charge wall charger so you can recharge it at its max speed right out of the box.

CHOETECH 10,400mAh Power Bank with Quick Charge 3.0

It’s good to have options when it comes to charging electronics and that’s what this CHOETECH 10,400mAh power bank offers. It doesn’t have the highest power capacity as it has a 10,400mAh of power to use, which is enough o charge a Galaxy Note 8 to its full power about two times.

There are two USB ports on this charger. There’s one Quick Charge 3.0 port and there’s a standard port too that has a charging speed of 5V/1.0A and even though the standard port isn’t the fastest, you’re still able to charge your Note 8 at its max charging speed and charge standard devices at the same time.

The versatility is even better when it comes to recharging this CHOETECH power bank and that’s because it has two input ports.

One of the input ports is a Micro-USB input and the other one is a Lightning input. You can only use each of the input ports once at a time, but each of them has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A which is still very fast. Just make sure you use a 2.4 Amp wall charger or higher to recharge this power bank at its max charging speed.

Portability with this power bank is also very good with its 3.9-inch length and a thickness of 0.9 inches, as a result, you can hold this charger in your hands or place it into your pocket too.

Anker PowerCore+ 13400

The final power bank that we have to recommend is the Anker PowerCore+ 13400. It has a good power capacity that can charge your Galaxy Note 8 to its full power about three times. That said, the great part about this charger is that it uses two ports and therefore you can still charge your Note 8 to its full power while still charging another device.

There are two USB ports on this PowerCore+ 13400. It has a single Quick Charge 3.0 port that can charge the Galaxy Note 8 at its max charging speed and it also has a standard port with a 5V/2.4A charging speed.

The only negative part about the charging power with this Anker power bank pertains to the Quick Charge port and that’s because for standard devices it has a 5V/1.5A charging speed.

Recharging is quite normal as the charger uses a Micro-USB input port with a 5V/2.0A recharging speed and you should use a 2 Amp USB wall charger to recharge it as its max power.

A Two Port Mini Power Bank

The sizes of most 13,400mAh power banks on the market is quite large but since this charger is from Anker it takes a very small form factor with a length of 3.9 inches and a thickness of only 0.9 inches which means that you can hold this charger easily while using it.
