Smartphone batteries are steadily getting bigger and better, but I still prefer to carry a portable charger with me. It's not because I need one, but it's always good to have one, just in case. For nearly two years, I've relied on an Anker Nano Power Bank (A1259), which has been very reliable. Now, there's a newer version, and I finally got my hands on it.
There are several notable differences between the two chargers, ranging from design to cable, charging speed, capabilities, and more. Overall, it's a fantastic charger that I would recommend to anyone, especially if you can find a great deal on it. Here's what I like and what could be improved (which, frankly, isn't much).
