20000mAh Redmi Portable Fast Charge Power Bank White (PB200LZM / VXN4285GL) Review
The Redmi 20000mAh Portable Fast Charge Power Bank (model number PB200LZM / VXN4285GL) in white promises a lot: high-speed charging, a slim design, and multiple ports. But does it deliver on these promises in the real world? After weeks of rigorous testing, charging various devices from smartphones to tablets, I’m ready to share my in-depth review.
The power bank’s sleek white finish is pleasing to the eye, and the anti-slip texture on the edges is a welcome addition, preventing accidental drops. It’s noticeably slimmer than many 20000mAh power banks I’ve used, making it surprisingly pocketable despite its capacity. The placement of the four ports (detailed below) is intuitive and easily accessible. Build quality feels solid, with no creaking or cheapness to the feel of the plastic.

The charging speed is impressive. I consistently saw fast charging speeds on my iPhone 13 and Samsung Galaxy S22, significantly faster than with other power banks in its class. The ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously without noticeable drop-off in charging speed is a significant plus. The power bank itself charges fairly quickly using a Micro USB cable. During extended use, the power bank remained relatively cool, a testament to its efficient internal components. I did find that charging four devices concurrently did slightly reduce the charging speed across the board, but this was a minor impact.
Pros:
- Fast charging speeds
- Slim and portable design
- Multiple USB ports for charging multiple devices simultaneously
- Durable build quality
- Relatively cool operation, even under heavy load
Cons:
- Uses Micro USB for charging the power bank itself (Type-C would have been preferable)
- No power output display to precisely show remaining battery life (only LED lights which aren’t super precise)
- Slight reduction in charging speed when charging multiple devices simultaneously.
Overall, the Redmi 20000mAh Portable Fast Charge Power Bank (PB200LZM / VXN4285GL) is a strong contender in the crowded power bank market. Its fast charging capabilities, slim design, and multiple ports make it extremely practical for daily use and travel. While the lack of a precise battery level indicator and Micro-USB input are minor drawbacks, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this power bank to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient charging solution.
