Unboxing the Vention 10000mAh Magnetic Wireless 20W Power Bank
Kicking off the Vention 10000mAh Magnetic Wireless 20W Power Bank review (ain’t that a mouthful) with our unboxing, the packaging comes in a simpler, albeit not minimalistic design with some of the product details listed around it. It’s also clad in the signature Vention colorway; light blue with some yellow-green gradient and a white background.
Inside the box, we found the following items:
- Documentations
- USB-C to USB-C cable (0.3 meters)
- The Vention 10000mAh Magnetic Wireless 20W Power Bank itself
Overview
While the biggest trend is typically on high-powered, super fast charging power banks, the Vention 10000mAh Magnetic Wireless 20W Power Bank takes a different approach. This product is focused on convenience with two simple factors; magnetic wireless charging and a built-in kickstand. The size itself is pretty slim and compact, even for a 10,000mAh capacity one, making it quite easy to bring around.
It’s not just a matter of the power bank itself being easy to carry as the focus is on the magnetic wireless charging capability, meaning that you don’t have to carry around a cable with it. This is of course assuming you’re using a MagSafe-capable iPhone or a wireless charging-capable Android smartphone with a magnetic case on it. It can do normal wireless charging just fine but it would be far more convenient to use the magnets as it just snaps in place.
In case you still need to use it while it’s charging, be it for mobile games or watching a video, the built-in kickstand certainly comes in handy as you can angle it on a flat surface to your desired viewing angle. Just remember that if it’s not charging, just press the power button and it will start right up. Pressing this same power button will also show its current charge levels via a small, somewhat blurry indicator, so you’ll know when it needs to get juiced up.

| iPhone 16 (wireless) | 10 | 100 | 100 | 41 | 2:36:05 |

As the name implies, it does support up to 20W of charging but keep in mind that this is specifically for wired charging with Power Delivery support. For the magnetic wireless charging, it can only do up to 15W; 7.5W for iPhone, 15W for Android. For this test, we will be using the iPhone 16 and HONOR Magic7 Pro, with the latter only using plain wireless charging with no magnets.
On the iPhone 16, both wired and wireless works perfectly, though charging to full does take quite some time. Starting from 10% battery life, it takes 2 hours and 36 minutes to fully charge via wireless while wired charging will take 1 hour and 17 minutes. It also helps that it sticks to the iPhone magnetically so there’s no worries of finding a “sweet spot”. On the HONOR Magic7 Pro from 10% battery life on the other hand, it takes 1 hour and 55 minutes to fully charge via wire but it doesn’t charge in wireless.
To be precise, the HONOR Magic7 Pro’s display shows that it’s being charged but it doesn’t actually charge nor does it reduce the power bank’s remaining capacity. I’ve tried changing positions over and again with no success so for now, your best bet for wireless charging is to either stick with iPhones that have MagSafe support or use phone cases with magnetic rings on it. Do keep in mind that with wireless charging, there will be some inevitable energy loss, as a full charge from the same capacity on the iPhone 16 for both wired and wireless results in a 17% difference in remaining capacity.
Vention 10000mAh Magnetic Wireless 20W Power Bank Verdict

It’s far from being fast but due to the convenience and portability it offers, it’s still an attractive accessory to keep in your bag / pockets. Moreover, its RM169 asking price makes it quite easy to afford. Ultimately, it depends on what your preference is when it comes to power banks.
