The best portable chargers for Samsung Galaxy S20 Android Central 2020
Although the Galaxy S20 is quite large, it has a huge battery. However, with a 120Hz display and 5G radios inside, there's no telling when you might need to go to overtime. You'll need a portable charger to keep your Galaxy S20 charged. You might also need a powerbank for your commute to work if you forget to plug it in last night. Don't worry, power banks can charge your S20s in many ways.
You can charge your Galaxy S20 in multiple ways with the best portable chargers
There are a few ways to charge your S20. The most important ones to be aware of are Power Delivery (PD), and Qualcomm QuickCharge. Although Samsung supports Power Delivery (the S20 charges between 15 and 18W with most PD chargers), most QC ports don't have a rating higher than 18W for power banks. Why are USB-C speeds slower? Samsung's Super Fast Charging profile is built on Power Delivery. But more specifically, it uses a sub-certification called Programable Power Supply (PPS) to adjust the speed dynamically to charge faster and less heat. PPS is cool but very few powerbanks support it. Those that do, the Elecjet 45W and Samsung 25W power banks, tend to charge more for it. Unless you have the S20 Ultra, it's best to stick with standard 18W PD chargers. This will allow you to focus on portability and affordability.
What does this all mean? This means that you can charge with any standard or cable you have. They'll both charge your S20 at a decent speed even though it may not be as fast as the Samsung wall charger's 25W. UGREEN's 10,000mAh Portable Charger is our favourite portable charger. It's small and easy to carry around with you, right next to your S20. The phone-sized Baseus 22W Power Bank is another great option. It's affordable and still packs plenty of power.
You'll need a quick USB-C charger for your power bank to charge it quickly once you return home. It's useless if your power bank goes out.
