The speaker, powerhouse and Journey U are certainly on my radar… when and if they hit the UK

I like the look and style of all the new offerings. The power indicator on the 19k PD looks great hopefully that’s the new style for all of their power Banks. Is 130$ correct for the journey U? They must sound great.

Love the Powerhouse Mini, price is just right

Insider · August 30, 2018, 11:18pm

I agree, the power indicator looks super sleek! I really hope we see a similar version with 10k mAh! Also some lithium ion versions! Sometimes I don’t want a super slim and long portable charger.[quote=“Jesse_Hernandez1, post:4, topic:62210”]

Yeah, by far Soundcore’s most premium earbuds.

That powerbank looks great, also looks like they went with lipo batteries given its size which is a good choice imo. I really want to try the journey U, and at that price it would have to be a either win it or pray for a poweruser item…my wife would kill me if I brought another pair of headphones.

Insider · August 30, 2018, 11:14pm

I hope they aren’t completely done with li-ion though because sometimes I prefer them. At least give us the choice! Also dying for a smaller version around 10k mAh!

Same!

Ok, after taking a closer look at the picture of PowerCore+ 19000, does it look to you guys that it says 12W and 18W? Because it sure does to be. And that would make much more since… I wonder if it was just a communication error with the media outlets (?)

Tank · August 30, 2018, 11:19pm

Yes, power IQ 2.0 is 18W and regular is 12W

Insider · August 30, 2018, 11:21pm

Ok, I changed it.

If that’s accurate, then it’s pretty close to PowerCore+ II 20000 from last year’s IFA. Main difference is 30W PD port instead of 45W, so it won’t be as ideal for laptops.

Flare S+ and Powerhouse Mini is what I’m eyeballing.

asauers · August 31, 2018, 12:50pm

Definitely interesting in seeing more about the PowerHouse Mini. Looks like just what I need for camping trips!

Andrei_Savel · August 31, 2018, 1:54pm

Love it! Alexa speaker looks really good and that vac is sexy. Doubt the power house will be released in UK though.

Element321 · August 31, 2018, 11:46pm

I have to agree, these look great and I’m planning my next camping trip.

After further research, I have decided to change the estimated release timeframes for both RoboVac 30c and PowerHouse Mini to September/October. It boggles my mind that there are so many articles with conflicting information.

Hi Anker,

Can this product act as a usb hub for iphone/ipad with lightning connector in this scenario (to connect to external devices like USB microphone (e.g. blue yeti), Audio DAC (e.g. Grace SDAC, Dragonfly Red, etc.), USB Disk Drive?

With Apple CCK2/3 and Type C to Type A USB Cable
With Apple/Anker Lightning to type C

Kind regards,
