Introducing the Juice Sync PowerTube 5200
Admittedly I've been late to board the powerbank train (the same way I've not been keen on getting an iPhone so soon but that is another story). Not sure if this would count as a good excuse, but it's just that there are so many available powerbanks out there that I just couldn't decide. So I thank the tech gods for letting me learn about MiPow, its smart lighting fixtures, and its first ever smart power bank -- the Juice Sync 5200!
Awesome for Apple
Nothing against Android, obvs. The Juice Sync PowerTube 5200 features a portable charger with an Apple Lightning connector, allowing users to directly charge their iPhone 6/6+, iPhone 5/5s, 4th generation iPad, iPad mini, 5th generation iPod Touch or 7th generation iPod Nano. But, the charger is not a snob. It is also compatible with other devices! So go get this thing if you have a Samsung, Apple, HTC, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, or Blackberry and other tablets and game consoles with a Micro USB. And hey, the PowerTube works pretty well with my old iPhone 4s, too.
Anodized aluminum alloy casing comes in various vibrant colors, including this delicious hot pink!
Check it out! LED indicator lights let you know when you have charged enough juice for your Apple!
LED indicator lights tells users how much juice is left. To check, just press the button on the side of the PowerTube. If 3 LEDs are on, that means the powerbank has full battery capacity; if 2 LEDs are on, about 65%; and when all LEDs are off, that means there is no power left.
What's App with JuiceSync?
Apple fanboys rejoice! The JuiceSync is exclusively available at the Apple App Store! The app allows users to connect with their PowerTube 5200 using their mobile phones or tablets! Through the app, you can read the remaining battery, current temperature and even the distance between the Juice Sync 5200 and the connected device (it's just clingy like that). The app is VERY simple to use, and just serves as a convenient way to check in on the status of your powerbank. It connects via bluetooth, too, by the way.
You can totally name your battery! Mine is Mia.
Verdict
The powerbank costs Php 3,499.00 at MiPow stores and kiosks, so there's that. But overall, the powerbank is handy, capable of charging my iPhone to full with enough to spare, and comes in a nice, hot pink color! My only real issue is that the charging connector cord is too short, so this powerbank can only be best plugged to a floor outlet. Charging Capacity 5/5 Price 3/5 Value 4/5 Overall 4/5
Eli and I agree that the PowerTube 5200 is still a good steal!
