Yesterday was a big day for Asus and all its fans in South East Asia. Apart from the Asus Zenfone 2 Regional Launch, the company also introduced a bunch of accessories and companion devices, including the Asus Zenpower.
The reason for producing this power bank is that Asus has foreseen the potential development in this industry. Like Xiaomi, this Taiwanese company has started producing its own power bank. The Asus Zenpower is a 10050 mAh power bank which helps you a lot whenever your phone battery is low.
Here we give a quick Asus Zenpower review:
The Asus Zenpower adopts an aluminum body case like Xiaomi’s Power Bank but in a more boxy shape. Asus Zenpower differentiates itself in 5 anodised aluminum colors: black, gold, red, blue and silver. A rubber cover in the same 5 colors is also added for protection. This Zenpower is claimed to be as small as a credit card in a dimension of 90.5 x 59 x 22mm and weighs only 215g.
A 10050 mAh Panasonic battery cell is packed on the inside of this small Zenpower. You can check the battery level by looking at the 4 LED indicator lights. A huge power button is on the same edge with the 4 LED lights.
The Zenpower offers only one micro USB plug and one full-sized USB plug. Instead of using standard 2.0A or 2.1A charger output, the company pushes 2.4A charger output for quickly charging. The Asus Zenpower itself is a 2.0A input, which will take 5.5 hours of charging according to the brochure.
The Asus Zenpower retail price in the Philippines is not confirmed yet but we can expect it is around PHP 920. This price is converted from the Asus Zenpower official price in Indonesia (Rp 269,000).
Asus Zenpower together with the Asus Zenfone 2 release date in the Philippines is close as an Asus representative has confirmed it will hit the shelves this May.
