Best Power Banks for Galaxy S6

(Last Updated On: July 5, 2020)

Currently, Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones are one of the most popular types of smartphones on the market and that’s really because of the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S6 is where Samsung got serious about their smartphones and that’s because the change from the S5 to the S6, was quite drastic. The entire build quality of the phone changed from it now using a glass back and it also started to have a much slimmer and sleek form factor around the edges. Also, the camera was a powerful upgrade and even now, if you own an S6, the camera can still stand with even modern phones.

Perhaps one of the most important upgrades to the Galaxy S6 that you can’t see is its use of fast battery charging with Quick Charge. The Galaxy S6 is the first Samsung smartphone to be compatible with Quick Charge and this is quite major as it allows you to charge your phone at a fast charging speed instead of having to wait a long duration for your phone to charge. Something very welcome with the enhanced performance and better look of the phone.

Along with the compatibility of Quick Charge, there are also a lot of charging electronics on the market that make use of Quick Charge. In this case, we’re going to be focusing on power banks that make use of Quick Charge, and these are the perfect portable chargers that you can use to charge your Galaxy S6 while you’re on-the-go.

Chargers in this Guide:

Anker PowerCore+ 10050pic-1-1

The first power bank that we recommend for the Galaxy S6 is a very simple but powerful one and it comes from a very good brand that sells charging electronics. It’s Anker’s PowerCore+ 10050 portable charger. Anker has two main lines of their portable chargers, there’s their PowerCore lineup that doesn’t use Quick Charge, and then there are the PowerCore+ portable chargers that do make use of fast changing tech.

This PowerCore+ charger has a 10,050mAh power capacity and this can be used to charge the S6 to its full power about two times, and little more than that. If you’re wondering why the S6 can’t get more full charges with its battery capacity of 2,550mAh, well that’s because Quick Charge charging speeds lower the conversion rate of the capacity from the power bank to your smartphone.

Even with its use of a 10,000mAh power capacity, this Anker power bank still makes use of a single Quick Charge port. The use of a single port is something that we think is good because you can just focus the power capacity on a single device at a time. If you do want two ports with a Quick Charge power bank then Anker has their PowerCore+ 13400. Also, the Micro-USB input port for recharging this power bank features Quick Charge and so you can recharge this power bank at Quick Charge speeds when you use a Quick Charge wall charger.

Pros for Anker PowerCore+ 10050

  • Has enough power capacity to charge the Galaxy S6 to full power about two times
  • Quick Charge port for fast charging

Tronsmart also has a 10,000mAh portable charger and in this case, this portable charger of theirs is more of a standard one as it doesn’t make use of USB-C port and we think that’s a good thing as the S6 isn’t USB-C compatible in the first place. So this charger has enough power capacity to provide about two full charges for the Galaxy S6, which is the amount that you should expect from a smartphone power bank.

There are two charging ports, one with Quick Charge 3.0, and the other port has a 5V/2.4A charging rate which is good for Non-Quick Charge compatible smartphones. The recharging for this Tronsmart power bank is done through a MIcro-USB input port and thankfully, their input port uses Quick Charge and so you can recharge this power bank at Quick Charge speeds when you use a Quick Charge wall charger.
