HTC QC3.0 Power Bank (BB G1000) Teardown Review: Quietly Premium

HTC is fading away. It has been more than 400 days since it launched its last flagship, the U12 Plus, back in May 2018. Although it has released a duo of mid-rangers recently, these products don't best represent the HTC brand as it is known to its fans. Remember the stunning Touch Diamond? The first ever Android HTC Dream? And what about the all-metal HTC One? HTC stands for creativity and premium when it was in full glory.

Obviously, we won't be reviewing phones on ChargerLAB.com. However, if you would agree, one can get a better idea of a brand from its less important product lines. Today we have a power bank from HTC which was released in 2017. Now, let's take a teardown review.

IV Conclusion


Back in 2017, with QC3.0 support, USB-C input, and 10000mAh capacity in a light and compact body, the HTC QC3.0 power bank was the flagship of power banks. And today we are still impressed by the thoughtful design and premium components of this accessory made by HTC. However, in an era which USB-PD is the way of the future, the HTC QC3.0 power bank is undeniably dated. But it is THE classic old HTC, being so quietly premium.


Pros:

Two-way 18W QC3.0 charging.

Compact and light.

Premium components.


Cons:

No USB-PD support.
