I’ve used the same power bank for 6 months now without ditching it, AMA

Bought the INIU P50 back when I had the 16 Pro. Kept using it through the upgrade to the 17 Pro. Figured 6 months of daily pocket carry was worth sharing here for anyone looking for something reliable.

Here's how its been going so far for me-

The soft-touch plastic has surface scratches. Not deep, just the kind that happen when something lives in a pocket with keys. The glossy screen section catches them more visibly. Structurally it's completely fine. The lanyard cable has survived daily use without fraying and still works.

The P50 adjusted without any issues once I switched phones. USB-PD negotiation with the 17 Pro pulls the full fast charge speed just as cleanly as it did with the 16 Pro. The 45W high efficiency output means most of the stored energy actually reaches the phone rather than disappearing as heat during conversion.

One thing I noticed is that the heat output during charging has not increased which is usually the first sign of cell degradation.

I feel the performance is same as the day I got it because I am not a very patient person when it comes to tech. If this is something you were looking for, I'll be happy to answer your questions. I'd also suggest others to get some cover for it to protect the surface. I really wish that the screen hadn't gotten so many scratches.

This covers everything but you can still ask me anything about stuff that I might have missed here.
