I’m trying to figure out how this is anymore convenient than what I already have. Ok, you save 2 secs not manually plugging in a cable.
But I already have charging cables set up at my desk, in the car, and at bedside. And eventually the power bank needs to be plugged in anyways to recharge it, so you are just time-delaying that action if you already have charging cables located everywhere.
The only time I need a power bank is when I’m away for extended periods of time on foot. In that case what am I going to do? Rubber-band the phone to the charger and carry it around like that? I’d rather just keep the charger in a pocket and snake a cable out to my phone.
I’m having a hard time seeing the advantage of a Qi charger on a Power Bank. Seems more like a gimmick than any thing else.

glennacIt's just a feature, not a mandatory use. It can at least minimize one cable when charging two or more devices at a time.

glennacLate reply, but there are plenty of use cases for the Qi charger:
1) it lets you charge a 3rd device or if you're missing a cable for any device
2) charges a phone that has gotten wet or submerged in liquid (my Galaxy S8+ will prevent me from charging via USB-C port until it no longer senses any liquid on the port)
3) some true wireless earbuds/phones can charge via Qi charger
4) some smartwatches will only charge via Qi charger (like my Galaxy Watch)
I've actually been looking for a battery bank that can do USB-A, micro-USB, USB-C (in & out) as well as have an integrated Qi charger. Not to mention the fact that it has both QC 3.0 and USB-C PD support, which many battery banks lack. I love that Energizer decided to pack lots of those "nice to have but not necessary" features on a single unit.
