Portronics Luxcell Wireless Mini: Affordable Power Bank with Wireless Charging
In the crowded market of mobile accessories, Portronics has carved out a distinctive space for itself with its Luxcell range of power banks. Renowned for their compact and lightweight design, these power banks have managed to combine functionality with a touch of style—a rarity in a segment often characterized by bulky and plain designs. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Portronics Luxcell Wireless Mini, a power bank that is catching eyes for its stellar features at a remarkably affordable price.
Feature Packed and Budget-Friendly
The Portronics Luxcell Wireless Mini is a true darling for the budget-conscious. Priced at Rs 1,250, and frequently available for even less during promotional offers, it offers features that are rarely seen in this price range.
- Battery Capacity: 10000 mAh
- USB Type-C Port: Charges at 20W
- Type-A Port: Charges at 20W
- Wireless Charging Pad: Charges at 15W
- Supports Magnetic Charging
Many affordable power banks that support wireless charging tend to skimp on battery capacity or charging speeds, but not this one. The 10000 mAh capacity ensures you have ample juice to charge your devices multiple times.
Compact and Stylish
This power bank fits comfortably in your hand, measuring 136 mm in length—roughly the size of an iPhone 13 mini—and is lightweight at just 210 grams. Its colorful design, with eye-catching yellow and light blue shades and a smooth plastic finish, makes it stand out. The device also has stripes on one side, along with a slightly raised transparent panel that houses four LEDs to indicate battery life and charging status.
Quick and Convenient Charging
One of the standout features of the Luxcell Wireless Mini is its charging speed. Both the USB Type-C and Type-A ports charge at impressive rates of 20W. The wireless charging option, which reaches speeds up to 15W, allows you to charge your phone without being tethered by a cable. During our tests, an iPhone 15 Pro Max charged from 22% to 52% in just half an hour using the wireless pad.
The ability to charge three devices simultaneously is a nifty feature, although it does result in slower charging speeds. The power bank itself takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge using an 18W charger. Though the included Type-C to Type-C cable is handy, its short length limits its utility for charging the power bank itself.
Strong Magnetic Attachment
Another impressive feature is its magnetic attachment capability. The magnet is strong enough to stick securely to the back of an iPhone 15 Pro Max, even through a protective case. This makes it especially convenient for on-the-go charging, where cables can be cumbersome.
Small Downsides
As with any device, the Luxcell Wireless Mini is not without its minor drawbacks. The LED battery indicators can sometimes be inaccurate when multiple devices are connected. Also, some users might prefer having two USB Type-C ports instead of a combination of Type-C and Type-A. It would have also been beneficial to include a magnetic disk for phones that don’t naturally support magnetic attachment, but this is a minor quibble considering the affordable price.
A Noteworthy Investment
All things considered, the Portronics Luxcell Wireless Mini is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a portable and affordable power bank with the added benefit of wireless charging. It delivers solid performance with efficient charging speeds and convenient features. At its price point, it offers immense value, making it one of the best budget-friendly power banks available today.
The blend of portability, power, and affordability this device brings to the table is remarkable. And let’s not forget—it looks pretty good too. When was the last time we said that about a power bank?
