A recent tweet by OnePlus CEO, Carl Pei, suggests that the company may be finally ready to launch its second power bank, almost five years after launching its first. While he didn’t reveal the launch date and technical details about the device, the tweet leaves very little room for doubt that the company will announce a new power bank with fast-charging capabilities sooner rather than later.
Power banks are a lucrative accessory line for smartphone vendors these days, especially with companies such as Xiaomi and Realme now marketing power banks under their own brand name. While the former has been selling power banks for a while now, it has added Redmi power banks to its portfolio today and the latter launched its first power bank last year – a 10,000mAh unit that’s priced at Rs. 1,299 in India.
