Since Millet's mobile power generation was unstable, they decided to purchase Millet's second-generation mobile power bank. Although Millet's second-generation mobile power bank supports fast charging and is considered mainstream, its continued use of the micro USB interface feels somewhat outdated. The arrival of something new always makes the old seem irrelevant.
Looking back, the introduction of Millet’s first mobile power bank caused quite a stir in the market, forcing many competitors to reevaluate their offerings. Those poorly made power banks with questionable circuits seemed less appealing compared to Millet’s offering. My own Millet power bank has been a faithful companion since I purchased it. It even features an LED light, adding a touch of practicality. However, the USB interface did malfunction once, but a quick fix with some soldering tin got it back in working order.
For those looking for a mobile power source with USB TYPE-C input, here are some options:
First up is the Millet second-generation mobile power bank (high version). Millet seems to excel at creating variations, and the high version offers a slight increase in output power (from 15W to 18W) along with a TYPE-C input. However, the price is double that of the low version, making the cost-to-performance ratio less favorable.
Moving on to Huawei, their "high-end black" two-way fast-charging power bank is visually appealing with its sleek and understated design. However, it costs 199 yuan, which is 30 yuan more than the high-version Millet power bank.
Huawei's power bank shares a similar relationship with their smartphones as Millet does with their products. While the configuration may be slightly lower and the price cheaper, the Huawei AP08Q power bank is inferior to Millet's second-generation model. Still, it supports Qualcomm QC2.0 and HASS fast charging protocols, making it a viable option for users of Huawei devices like the P9, P9 Plus, Glory V8, Mate 8, and Glory 7.
My personal choice was the Purple Rice QB810 TYPE-C dual-input power bank. Although its maximum output is 15W QC 2.0, the inclusion of USB TYPE-C input meets my needs. Most importantly, it is budget-friendly at just 79 yuan.
The packaging of the Purple Rice QB810 caught me off guard. Despite not being associated with Millet, it felt a bit lackluster with its simple sticker-covered exterior. However, upon opening the package, I discovered a beautifully designed inner box that was more satisfying. The overall minimalist design reminded me of Apple or Muji aesthetics.
On closer inspection, the anti-counterfeit label in the lower left corner changed from the Xiaomi logo to the Purple Rice logo. The relationship between the two brands remains unclear, though their styles are strikingly similar.
Unboxing the power bank revealed a familiar layout, with a manual featuring the Purple Rice logo and a micro USB cable included. The QB810 itself is textured to reduce slippage and fingerprint visibility, though it might not appeal to those with an aversion to textures.
The design is understated, with the logo barely noticeable. The sides resemble the 3D glass of the Mi 5, though it’s made of plastic and lacks the complexity of glass processing. Similar to the Mi power bank, the QB810 has a sticker covering the USB interface to prevent oxidation.
Removing the sticker reveals a dual-input and single-output design. The power indicator lights are similar to the four-point method of the Mi power bank, though I prefer the monochrome OLED displays seen in other power banks. A button on the side serves both as a switch and a power display, with a status light indicating standard or fast charging.
When it comes to accessories, the JD.comè‡ªè¥ package includes a silicone sleeve from the Mi power bank 2, which doesn't fit perfectly due to size differences. Additionally, the two data cables provided are nearly identical, with only the branding differentiating them.
Given the similarities, purchasing decisions should be based on pricing. The Purple Rice 30cm TYPE-C dual-purpose data line offers excellent value at 7.5 yuan, especially when combined with discounts on JD.com.
In conclusion, if you're okay with the plastic casing and 15W output, the Purple Rice QB810 is a solid choice. For those seeking faster charging speeds and better materials, other higher-end options might be worth considering.
