The cable is the thing you forget until your phone is on 3% and the bank in your bag has nothing to plug into it. A built-in USB-C cable fixes that and saves you carrying a second thing. Six power banks up to 10,000mAh are in this guide, listing between $25 and $55, and all are non-magnetic, because the magnetic ones live in our 5,000mAh power bank guide.
Prices below are list prices. The big difference is output: four of the six are rated at 45W, which Samsung's fastest phones can use, while the Anker and Belkin stop at 30W and 20W.
Anker Nano Power Bank 10K 30W: best overall
Anker says the Nano has a built-in USB-C cable that charges phones, tablets and laptops and also recharges the bank itself. Anker rates it for 30W in both directions and quotes 50% on the bank in 45 minutes.
Anker says the casing is 80% recycled plastic. It measures 10.4 by 5.2 by 2.6 cm.

Verdict
On paper, the Anker Nano is the easy all-rounder and the UGREEN is the premium pick.

The Belkin suits anyone who just wants a familiar name and 20W.
Street prices on Amazon change often and can sit below these list prices, so check the current price before you buy, and keep an eye out for promotions. We're still waiting to see how the brands' output and size claims hold up, and it'll be worth seeing how they perform in real-world use.
