Yoobao Magic Wand 5200mAh Power Bank (YB-6012)

Help my friend bought another power bank from Yoobao. This time is Yoobao Magic Wand power bank. Bought this from the same shop i bought the Yoobao Magic Cube for SGD 27 and seems like Yoobao power bank is getting cheaper. (Previously the power bank i bought is also SGD 27 and this time round when i asked again, is only SGD 24).



So compare to my Magic Cube, the major difference is of course Magic Wand has 5200mAh capacity compare to 4400mAh capacity of my Magic Cube. Other than that, Magic Wand only comes with one connector (micro USB) compare to Magic Cube which comes with different type of connectors for different phone. Personally, this is not a big deal because you can always use your own mobile phone charging cable to do the charging.



Another big difference is of course the shape. Overall i like the shape for this power bank. It is slim and long and this makes it very easy to hold and carry around. With this shape, you can always put this in your pants pocket without issue. The only thing i dislike about this power bank is probably the paint type they use, it is glittering type and glittering stuff is always not my type.


This power bank also comes with LED torch feature which might comes in handy if you are in a very dark place.

The technical specification:


You can get this power bank from this website and actually there are other colours also such as blue, red, pink and gold colours. If you don't want to wait, you can always go to their shop to get it but take note that they are closed on Sunday.

Yoobao Magic Cube 4400mAh Power Bank (YB-627)

With mobile phone getting more and more powerful and the battery technology still pretty stagnant at the moment. It is no wonder power bank is such a popular device nowadays. Facing the same problem, i also bought a power bank just to make sure that i never run out of battery juice when i am outside.

The power bank i bought is from Yoobao and i got it from Rochor Centre for SGD 27. Comes with nice packaging, Yoobao does feel like a quality product compare to those no brand power bank.

Comes with different connectors for different phones


Size comparison compare to Samsung Galaxy S2

The power bank itself shape like a square box. It is not really big as you can see from the photos above but it is quite thick. There is a LED torch light which will come in handy if you need some light and capacity indicators to tell you how much capacity left in your power bank.

It takes about 5 hours to fully charge this power bank. Once fully charge, it can charge Samsung Galaxy S2 twice with a little bit power left. Initially, i found it not possible to charge S2 twice and usually S2 will feel very hot during charging which is unusual. After talked to the seller, i used the cable come with the phone instead of using the power bank cable and the problem solve. Not sure whether the cable provided is of low quality or it is just bad cable but at least the power bank itself is working fine.:)

As there is no pouch in the package, i went to Daiso and able to get the pouch below for SGD 2 which can fit the power bank nicely with the cable.
