Manufacturers of mobile electronics apply a mass of effort to increase the battery life of smartphones, without hurting their ergonomics. It turns out not so much. Neither energy-efficient on new versions of Android, nor the battery of a large container cannot save users from the need to carry external batteries.
even on the contrary, the assortment of such, it would seem like simple devices, like Powerbanks, increases - more and less functional models appear. Probably, one of the important characteristics of portable batteries in 2019 will be supported by the function of fast charging Quick Charge 3.0. As part of this short review, we imagine the Power-Bank model, which is equipped with this function and will surely be in favor of users. Speech will go about Neo AZ120S Quick from the Rombica manufacturer.

An impressions of acquaintance with the NEO AZ120S Quick battery
The outer battery from RomBica is an aluminum timber weighing 254 grams. Power-bank is made perfect - in a shortage of strength or in the harness, the device is not accused. Weight impressive, even if compared with other Powerbanks - for example, Expert NBE-PB-10-01 from Nobby is easier to a quarter. But you just think about it - 12 mAh! The problem with a constant lack of battery charge will be solved at least a week - for the sake of this, it is possible to suffer an additional 250 grams in the lining of the jacket.
On the end of the portable battery there are 4 connections - 2 input and 2 output. You can simultaneously recharge a pair of mobile devices, but only one gadget will be fed in Quick Charge mode. On the second, the charging will go in conventional pace. Power Bank itself will be able to recharge as usual for the owners of Android cable microUSB and 8-pin Lightning. The first, by the way, is included in the kit.
There is an indication that gives to understand how much charge is left - it works correctly, not lying. To check the charge, it is enough to press the inclusion key, which is located on the same end as the connectors. Indicators are constantly burning if the mobile device is connected to the external battery.
After connecting the gadget to the PowerBank from Rombica, the mobile phone charging must start automatically. The exceptional case is when the smartphone is in deep discharge. If the battery does not automatically start, you need to try to "push" it, shortly by clicking on the "POWER" key.
Tests and tests
We started testing Neo AZ120S Quick from a smartphone Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact that supports Fast charging Quick Charge 3.0. With the help of an external battery from Rombica in just half an hour, it was possible to fill the battery of the mobile device almost halfway. Note that the recharging is equally quickly both from Powerbank and from the network. Accurate measurements - in the table below:

Upon reaching 80% of charge on a mobile device, the feed rate is significantly reduced. At 88%, the current flow fell to 0.64 mAh, the voltage was 5.19V. It is not worth worrying - this is one of the features of QUICK CHARGE technology, which allows you to protect your mobile device from overheating.
We tested with Neo AZ120S Quick and other devices - those that do not support Quick Charge 3.0. Doogee Mix 2 has a quick charging function, but the technology is different. The battery of this gadget from Powerbank ROMBICA was filled to 54% in just 30 minutes - with a capacity of over 4000 mAh. Impressive!

The last smartphone that participated in our experiments was Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017). This device has a quick charging function at all. Its battery with Neo AZ120S Quick managed to fill in 1 hour and 35 minutes. The same time is charged with the network.
How safe is NEO AZ120S Quick?
So much that the manufacturer has made safety into the list of major advantages of the device. According to ROMBICA, a portable battery is provided with a multiple system for safe charging devices. Obviously, it is this system that adjusts the current strength and the voltage level in accordance with the ratio of the battery. In the process of recharging, the Power Bank does not overheat - there are no prerequisites that the gadget, which is connected to it, will repeat the unenviable fate of Galaxy Note 7.
summarize
Portable Battery Neo AZ120S Quick from Rombica recharges mobile devices with Quick Charge 3.0 to 2 times faster than the usual adapter from the network. But this does not mean that for owners of smartphones that do not support fast charging, the accessory is useless. PowerBank is 12,000 mAh compatible with all gadgets and will definitely not be an excess accessory for a user who used to use his device "on the full coil".
At the time of writing the review, the cost of the model NEO AZ120S Quick in the official store ROMBICA is 1,990 rubles. But if you seek buying with a promotion Quick2018 to November 19, 2018, then get a discount on a portable battery - 20%!
