I got this to unit to test and in exchange to share my personal experience with the external charger. When I was given the opportunity to review an external charger, I requested one that could perform quick charging on my wife's M8 and my Nexus6. And it happened that Aukey was looking on some people to review their newly released external chargers. I initially thought, "great! a new portable charger that's 10,000mAh! With certified Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 to boot!
When I received my unit, I immediately thought how thin it was but when I opened up the packaging, I was pretty excited for this for some reason. Maybe because this is the first charger I had that can be used without being plugged in to use Quick Charge? Possibly. In looking at the battery itself, it's a bit lighter than my other 4 year old 10,000 mAh portable battery, However, this Aukey has Quick Charge 2.0 AND a flashlight. LOL Well I never really understood the reasoning of adding flashlights to external/portable batteries. It's great to have during a power outtage, but that's it really. There is not other usages I can personally think of to use it in a everyday carry bag. Don't get me wrong, the matte finish all around warrants the relatively cheap price for a 10k battery, but my one gripe is that the battery is pretty long. It doesn't really easily fit into a pocket. You have to put this in a bag, no question. For me, I had to store it in my glove compartment until I needed to use it.
When initially charging it up, it uses a micro USB cord. A great thing because my other older 10k battery uses a proprietary cord/adapter combo to charge the 4 year old battery pack. Also I realized the "Aukey" label lights up and is colorized and based on the color represents the current battery level of the battery. I need to mention when not fully charged, the "Aukey" logo that is lit up, "breathes" while it's charging, making the sense that it's alive and resting or sleeping lol.
Would I recommend this portable(ish) battery pack with Qualcomm Quickcharge 2.0? YES for me. For 30 bux on Amazon, it's not bad, but if you are looking to stuff it in your pocket, look elsewhere. This is a laptop bag battery where you can charge up your tablets and phone at the same time and not worry about depleting the battery.
Pros
Black matte color is cool
Breathing logo is cool when charging
Flashlight (Pro AND Con?)
Moderately light
2.0 Quick charge capability
Uses Micro USB cord to charge
Cons:
Moderately heavy
Flashlight(?)
Too long to stuff in ones pocket. You need to ask your significant other to put it in their purses/bags.
