GoKawiilINIU SnapGo Air The INIU SnapGo Air is one of the best magnetic power banks I've used. Its combination of Qi2.2 wireless charging, a surprisingly compact 10,000mAh design, strong magnets, and versatile wired charging makes it an easy recommendation for anyone who wants portable power without the hassle of cables. While its fastest wireless speeds are limited to newer Qi2.2 devices, the overall experience is reliable, convenient, and impressively polished for the price.
Magnetic wireless charging battery packs are my favorite power bank solution, mostly because of their portability and ease of use. You just slap them on the back of your phone. You can continue using the phone, leave it anywhere, or simply pocket the phone and charger and go on about your business, all while it is charging your handset.
I have been testing the INIU SnapGo Air ($49.99 at Amazon) for a few weeks, and I am loving it. I have used many of these over the years, but this is the first time one makes me feel like I am finally in the modern era of mobile wireless charging. Let me tell you all about my experience and show you why.
Design and build quality

I’ve used and tested multiple of these wireless charging magnetic battery packs. This means I came into testing the INIU SnapGo Air with expectations regarding design and build quality. Let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed.
The design of the Space Gray color model (which is the one I have) is a bit on the underwhelming side, but it keeps a low profile at least. That said, it’s also available in some fun optional colors. These include Lunar Silver, Metallic Mocha, Soft Lilac, Sunset Orange, and Midnight Navy.
The version I have is pretty much a black/gray slab with a logo in the front and Qi2 markings in the back. There are also a couple of USB-C ports at the bottom, along with a small status LCD screen.
The unit has a really nice weight, but not the unpleasant kind. The kind that makes a product feel solid and substantial. That said, you will definitely feel it hanging off the back of the phone. It’s 6.9oz, if you want the exact number. It gets its “Air” moniker for a reason, though. There’s a 10,000mAh battery. Taking this into consideration, the 6.9oz it weighs suddenly feels much lighter.
