Thanks so much, Ed! Covid has been pretty crazy here in Shanghai…so many cases after they dropped all the restrictions. A huge number of our friends and neighbors are infected. I just had a very high fever the first day, the following 6 days have been better each day. I should be entirely over it in a couple of days. Best wishes for a joyous Christmas and New Year! 🎄🎁🎉
@@TheTechReviewerThanks Kirsten, Glad to hear you continue to improve. We’re seeing an increase in Covid, Flu, RSV infections here in the US too. There’s a severe weather system across the nation, and we will experience the coldest weather we’ve seen in the last five years here in central FL during the next few days. Winter, cold weather and folks confined indoors seem to be the most significant factors with the increase in infections. Shanghai appears to be situated midpoint in China and experiencing winter like weather, unlike the southern areas of the country which appear to be a little warmer. I wonder if that is reflected in the rate of infection down south. Stay warm and rest. 🎅🤞
Thanks, Ed! Sorry, just saw your response. We are doing fine...once I got over Covid, my husband came down with it, so we had a 'Covid Christmas'. Fortunately, neither of us got seriously ill. There have been many cases in Shanghai in the past 2 to 3 weeks...I read an estimate that 10 million people in Shanghai contracted Covid during that period (about half the population of the metro area). The weather here is indeed cold this time of year, and that probably doesn't help in terms of case numbers. We've heard that the variant circulating in the north of China seems more virulent than the one circulating in the south of China...perhaps the weather has something to do with it. Hope things have warmed up for you! Stay safe, and best wishes for a happy 2023!
Thank you! These have the best stands of any of the magsafe power banks that I own...and I have quite a lot of them. ESR has a lot of experience in making stands, and it shows. Love these kickstand powerbanks!
Thanks, Mary! You too! My holiday season is starting off a little slow....just had Covid this week for the first time. But feeling much better now!! Thanks again for being such a loyal viewer, and have a merry Christmas and fantastic New Year! 🎄
Thanks so much, Mary! I’ve never had such a high fever in my life. Kinda scary. But on day 5, things are infinitely better…just mild cold symptoms. All set for Christmas!
Thank so much! These are really good power banks. The stand function is very robust and they have a lot of charging capacity...particularly the 10k mAh one. I've been using them a lot. 😊
What a great review!!! (Just missing the charging capability) I mean from 0 to 100% how many times I can charge my iPhone 14 pro with the 5000 and 10.000 and the same with the 14 pro max but anyway a very complet review and with QUALITY! Congrats! You have a new subscriber!
Hi Juan! Thanks so much for the sub!! So, I did my testing with my 14 Pro and the 5000 mAh version charged it to about 73% and the 10,000 mAh version holds about 1.6 charges for the 14 Pro. The 14 Pro Max would obviously change to a smaller percentage. They are very nice power banks. The stands are excellent and the magnets are unusually strong.
Hey! Is it possible for a comparison of the otter box core and symmetry+? Love the core colour/pattern but don’t know how protective it will be, the symmetry served me well for years.
It connects to my phone and shows that it is charging, but a few seconds after it turns off automatically, and even if I press the button and turn it on, it does the same thing. Please help
Odd! Do you have the 5000 mAh version or the 10,000 mAh? And I assume you have a MagSafe compatible case on your phone, or no case at all? What model of phone is it?
Hi Kristen, I'm sorry to read that you are dealing with Covid, but thankfully improving each day. I am wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas.🎅😀

REALLY good review. Thanks for this. The practical usefulness comments are second to none!

Nice review as always with good content. ESR has some great products. Have a fabulous Christmas and a bright new year 🇮🇪😎👏

Excellent review, the best I’ve found.. thank you!

Happy to help! So glad you found it to be useful 😊

I have the ESR haloLock mini kickstand power bank and it's a quality product.
Totally agree, @knewdist. Great product 😊
Very detailed 👌
Thanks, Sandeep! I'm all about the detail!!

Hi Kane! Thanks for the suggestion...I'll try to see if I can get some Core review samples. It does look like a cool case!!
How strong is the kick stand ?
Very. It's a great kickstand...very sturdy and folds out of the way when not in use with a satisfying magnetic click.
How fast does it charge an Android phone wirelessly, such as S21? 7.5W or 15W?
I'm not sure...I've only used it with iPhones....
Will this one work on a android phone with a magsafe ring?
As long as the Android phone supports qi wireless charging, I imagine it would, but I haven't tried it...
It connects to my phone and shows that it is charging, but a few seconds after it turns off automatically, and even if I press the button and turn it on, it does the same thing. Please help

@@TheTechReviewer The 15 pro, and yes, I have a Magsafe case, and it is the 10,000 mAh
@zannos5021 it sounds defective to me…have you tried contacting ESR?
If the guy comes with kickstand, then it should have a usb port designed on the side instead of on the bottom 😂
Yes, absolutely. ESR is doing it right!
