Power is often the biggest concern smartphone users have when traveling. While many phones now have enough battery life to get you through the day of intermittent use, your phone’s energy level will quickly decline if you watch a movie or TV show or play games on your phone for several hours — something you’re bound to do while sitting in the passenger seat.
So, to ensure you’ll still have enough juice to use your phone for navigation, ticketing, or booking when you get to the area of your destination, it’s wise to bring a power bank with you. The 5,000mAh Ugreen Magnetic Power Bank is on Amazon for $29.99 and could more or less give your phone one extra charge. It’s also sometimes on sale, so you could get it for less.
Its 5,000mAh capacity means it’s allowed on planes and has wireless magnetic charging. Although magnetic charging will only work on iPhones, you can get MagSafe-compatible cases, like the ones from ESR for the Galaxy S24, to bring this feature to your Android phone.
This power bank is also cheaper than the 10,000mAh Ugreen Magnetic Battery Mini with a kickstand. Although this is better for traveling, especially as it comes with a kickstand to prop your phone up, it’s more expensive at $69.99 on Amazon.
