Realme, the entry-level smartphone sub-brand of Oppo, launched its very first power bank at its launch event for the Realme Q smartphone.

Simply called the Realme Fast Charge Power Bank, it comes in three colors - a bright yellow, a flashy red, and the classic gray, with oversized brand logo dominating the front.

The Realme Fast Charge Power Bank has two ports, a USB-C port and a USB-A port. The USB-C port doubles as an input and output port that supports 18W fast charging, while the USB-A port supports 18W output. According to Realme, it will charge the iPhone XS Max from empty to full in 56 minutes.
