Hello guys, if you’ve been thinking of purchasing a power bank but are uncertain about choosing between itel and oraimo, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we will provide an in-depth comparison of the itel 20000mAH power bank and the Oraimo 20000mAH power bank. Both of these power banks are very popular and widely available all over Nigeria, so you should be able to get them within a price range of #14,000-#17,000. But is this price justified? Which one is the best? You’ll find all the answers to these questions in this comprehensive blog post where we break down and contrast the specifications and features of these products. We will cover everything from prices, design, and specifications to the charging tests, drop tests, and durability assessments we’ve carried out.

Without much ado, let’s quickly dive into the details of the itel 20,000mAH power bank first.

Upon unboxing the itel 20,000mAH Star 200, I was immediately drawn to its sleek black and red themed carton design, which i love personally. The power bank was inside a transparent, one-sided container, to protect it during transit. There was also this short, black USB cord inside that container. However, I was surprised to find that the package doesn’t have a user manual, which would have been helpful for setup and troubleshooting. Additionally, there was no charger block included, so if you don’t have spare one on you, you might need to consider purchasing one separately.

Upon getting the power bank from its packaging, I must say I’m impressed by its sleek contemporary design. The curved lines lend it a distinctly modern aesthetic that make it stand out. On top of the power bank is a built-in torchlight, which you can activate by pressing and holding the power button on the side of the device for two seconds.

The power bank features a quite sleek design, equipped with both Type-C and Type-B charging ports, as well as two power outlets, making sure it’s compatible with a wide range of devices. The power button is conveniently located on the left side of the device, while on the opposite side, a row of four LED indicators serves to display the current battery level, providing a quick and easy way to gauge the remaining power.

Lastly, under the power bank, you’ll find a detailed list of specifications, giving us overview of its capabilities and features.

Design wise this device looks like the itel IPP-81 power bank which was designed by oraimo. They both come with 20,000 milliamps of battery and they both have dual charging input and output. To me they are basically the same thing with slight design change in the orientation of the input and output ports.

The power bank is made of plastic and has a mad finishing on the side that make it slip proof. This same texture is relatively resistant to stains and scratches.

The four LEDs by the side indicates a 25 percent power life and 3 mins. Also it comes with this torch light atop it. Which I believe would be useful for you one day.

The power bank weighs approximately 0.5 kilograms and even though I’m not with the original dimensions which I placed the device with my Samsung phone, they were almost in length.

For specifications, the battery was made of lithium with a capacity of 20,000 mAH. It’s universally compatible due to the USB charging interface. Charging volt is 5 and 2.1 amps of power. With the type B and C port available, you don’t need to worry about finding a cable. As long as you own an Android device and a charger for that device. You are well to go.

The Itel Star 200 Powerbank offers 10 Layers of security protection, including input/output over-voltage protection and battery over-discharge protection. These features help you  protect your devices and the power bank itself during charging cycles and reduces  the risk of spontaneous combustion or damage to your devices

The power bank has a 20,000mAh (74Wh) Lithium-ion battery that can charge the iPhone 11 and Samsung S10 up to 4 times and 2.4 times for iPad mini 5, respectively.

Now to Oraimo 20.000mAH power bank

Now let’s checkout the oraimo 20,000mAH power bank. Firstly, the package comes in green themed carton container. The model I bought had a sleek black design, but for those with different preference, there is also white variant is also available for you to chose.

Upon the unboxing, the power bank was encased in a black plastic container with a compact USB cable tailored for charging purposes.

In terms of functionality, this power bank comes with dual USB-A outputs, a micro USB input, and a type-C input, catering to various devices. Atop the device is a torch light. Adjacent to this, there’s a multifunctional button. Pressing and holding this button for two seconds activates the torch. A quick press shows the remaining battery power available.on the other side of the power bank, you’ll find a battery level indicator comprising four LED lights, each denoting 25% of the battery’s charge.

Specifications may vary slightly depending on the model of the Oraimo 20,000mAh power bank.

We conducted two tests to determine the superior power bank: a 10-feet drop test to assess durability and a charging speed test.

Drop Test:

We conducted a drop test from a height of 10 feet on both power banks. Both of them sustained minor damages. The itel power bank took a noticeable dent post-test, whereas the Oraimo power bank opened up slightly, though the damage wasn’t too severe. So when. We talk of durability, it is fair to conclude that itel is better than Oraimo.

Charging Test:

The second assessment we carried out was focused on charging capabilities. We wanted to know the time required for these power banks to reach full capacity and how efficiently they charge devices. Regarding phone charging, both power banks demonstrated similar results, given their 2.1A output. However, when it comes to the time taken to fully charge the power banks themselves, there’s a slight difference. The itel power bank boasts a 2.1A input, while the Oraimo power bank features a 2.0A input. As a result, the itel power bank was expected to charge marginally faster than its Oraimo counterpart. To confirm this, we conducted a real-time test. The itel power bank took 9 hours and 9 minutes to charge fully, whereas the Oraimo power bank required 9 hours and 50 minutes to fill up.

Protection Level:

And lastly, a very important aspect to consider is the protection level of these power banks. Protection levels refers to the electronic features within the power banks that safeguard both the devices and the power banks themselves during the charging process. The itel power bank impressively offers 10 protection levels, whereas the Oraimo power bank provides 7. Therefore, from a protective standpoint, itel has a clear advantage over Oraimo.

In regards to the durability, charging tests we conducted, and the level of protection they offer, it’s surprising to find out that the itel power bank is slightly cheaper than the Oraimo. So, based on all these findings, I believe it’s safe to conclude that the itel power bank stands out as the superior choice.
