The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 remains a strong choice in smartphones. If you own one or are considering it, you’re on the right track. Even though it’s not the latest model, it’s still very capable. However, its battery life isn’t its strongest point, and tends to drain quickly. If you’re in the market for a power bank to keep your Note 10 charged, I’ve got some recommendations for you.
Keep in mind that the Note 10 supports 25W PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charging, and the Note 10 Plus goes up to 45W PPS. This means they can charge quite fast. However, many power banks don’t support PPS. The power banks I’m recommending may not have PPS, but they still offer decent charging speeds and a good portable charging experience.
ROMOSS PEA30 30,000mAh Power Bank
The ROMOSS PEA30 power bank has a 30,000mAh battery capacity, and this is a lot of power that can charge the Note 10 to full power about three or four times; the Note 10 has a 3,500mAh battery, and the Note 10 Plus has a 4,300mAh battery. So, if you want a power bank that can last a few days, this ROMOSS power bank is a good choice. The higher capacity can also help charge other devices to their full power. Charging power is decent from this ROMOSS power bank because it has a 30W USB-C port that can fast charge the Note 10. However, it does not feature PPS. There are also two USB-A ports.
In my review of the ROMOSS PEA30 power bank, I found the USB-C port to be the fastest way to recharge the power bank with a 30W recharge rate; the other two ports for recharging were very slow. Check out my detailed video review of the ROMOSS PEA30 30,000mAh Power Bank.
Baseus 65W Power Bank
If you are set on getting a power bank that features PPS fast charging, this Baseus power bank features PPS via its USB-C port to charge the Note 10 faster. However, the PPS charge rate is only available if you charge your Note 10 alone. The regular Power Delivery from the USB-C port is 65W if you’re charging one device, so this Baseus power bank can be very reliable for charging most USB-C laptops. The other two output ports are USB-A ports, and if you’re charging two devices, the USB-C port outputs 45W, and if three devices are charging, then the USB-C port outputs 20W.
In my review of the Baseus 65W power bank, I could recharge it at 60W via the USB-C port, while the micro-USB input port only has an 18W recharging speed.
iWalk LinkPod USB-C Mini Power Bank
One of the simplest power banks you can own is the iWalk LinkPod USB-C power bank; the charger has a 4,800mAh battery so that you can come close to a full charge. The battery on this power bank is mainly meant to last one day, and then you need to recharge it. The iWalk power bank doesn’t require any cables at all because the USB-C connector with a 20W Power Delivery charge rate can be used to fast charge your Note 10; it can also be used to recharge the power bank because you can plug the connector directly into a USB-C port for recharging.
In my review of the iWalk Link power bank, I could also recharge via the USB-C port on the power bank, and I found that the power bank features pass-through charging, which is impressive for a small charger. Watch my comprehensive video review of the iWalk LinkPod USB-C Mini Power Bank.
UGREEN Magnetic 20W Power Bank
I know that the Note 10 does not feature MagSafe and that iPhones do. However, you can use the magnetic charging pad on this UGREEN power bank if you place a magnetic attachment at the back of your phone. In my review of the UGREEN 20W Magnetic power bank, I could magnetically attach my Note 9 to the pad. You can also place the Note 10 on the charging pad like normal for wireless charging.
The UGREEN power bank also has a 20W PD USB-C port and a USB-A Quick Charge port for faster wired charging.
iWalk LinkPod Y2 USB-C Power Bank
Another iWalk power bank I wanted to recommend is the LinkPod Y2 charger. This power bank from iWalk is similar to the other one I mentioned, but this charger has a built-in USB-C cable with an 18W Power Delivery charge rate that can fast charge the Note 10. The built-in cable can also recharge the power bank by plugging it into a USB-C port.
The LinkPod Y2 power bank also has a higher 9,600mAh battery that can charge the Note 10 to full power once, and you can still have spare battery power. In my review of the iWalk LinkPod Y2 power bank, I could recharge via a built-in cable or the USB-C port. Discover my video review of the iWalk LinkPod Y2 USB-C Power Bank.
PowerAdd Pro 20W Power Bank
The PowerAdd Pro 20W power bank is one of the plainest types of charger that you can own, but it’s a decent one. The PowerAdd charger has a 10,000mAh battery, a 20W PD USB-C port, and a USB-A Quick Charge port. As I said, it’s the simplest charger for the Note 10, and in my review of this PowerAdd Pro power bank, I could easily slide it into my pocket. See my video exploration of the PowerAdd Pro 20W Power Bank.
Final thoughts about my choice of Power Banks for the Galaxy Note 10
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 still holds up; it doesn’t matter that years have passed since its release; the phone’s specs are still solid, and I think most people would agree. Mainly because the yearly upgrades are so minor, and the prices increase. Portable charging for the Note 10 isn’t complicated; if you want a power bank that you can use in a pinch, the iWalk LinkPod charger is a good option, but if you wish to power your Note 10 for a few days, then the ROMOSS PEA30 is a better choice.
