Okira PowerBank with wireless charging will simultaneously charge up to 3 devices
Under the Okira brand in Russia, several accessories have already been localized, and today we will tell about one of them - an external battery with the possibility of wireless charging.
For whatever reason, it appeared on the Russian market, it is not difficult to understand: despite the devastating analytics of sales of new iPhones that have not yet died down, wireless charging will still be in trend after some time, that's why the accessory developers stations and banks.
We (and you), simple people, still have a wave of discussions, as far as this is convenient, practical, but it is possible that in the near future all companies will integrate this function into their accounts. Time is.
We suggest starting this discussion right now on the example of Okira models. There are several of them at the moment: at 7000 mAh , at 10,000 mAh and at 12000 mAh .
Each model has two USB ports "on the way out" and MicroUSB for charging directly the "banks". Also, all models are equipped with a diode charge indication and a button that activates the power mode.
The main difference between the “younger” PowerBank and the older ones (except for the capacity, of course) is in the design: as a mark for a place for wireless charging, there is a “cross” here, and a ten-thousand-meter with a twelve-thousandth peak has “zeroes”. Also, this model is slightly smaller.
The area of wireless charging is sticky enough so that the phone doesn’t fall off and slide off, even if its backside surface is uneven, such as in the Nexus.
Works "fashionable" PowerBank and as usual: through the wire. Moreover, you can use two ports at once, however, it works in conjunction with Android-smartphone + Android-smartphone. At the same time charge the Iphone and Android - did not work.
And, of course, you can charge your smartphone in parallel with another device, for example, a wireless headset.

Kit
Completed with PowerBank, it seemed a bit strange: there is only Type-C in the set. On the one hand, probably, devices with such connectors are less common, on the other hand, give me two more wires!

Eventually...
PowerBank is a necessary and useful thing, and many already have an external battery and are actively used. A new wave of interest in them due to wireless charging is possible, yes, but here you have to be vigilant: all the same, in most cases you will have to use it as usual (in a backpack it will be difficult to charge a smartphone without a wire).
The design of the device makes it easy to fit them in your hand, with a pressed smartphone, and this is true, for example, in the office. Or in the warm season.
How else to use? Went to a cafe - use as a mobile docking station, why not ?! Well, as the first gift to the owner of the new iPhone is a good idea. The price tag on them is not burdensome, comparable to other models of similar capacity (not Mi, of course, you will not be hijacking them).
Okira Bonus
The company decided, apparently, that everyone should have such a PowerBank, and therefore immediately offers the option of a “cheap upgrade” of a smartphone using a special adapter to the connector, which for 500 rubles will enable those models that were not originally designed to be charged by air: for iOS and Android .
