Just one week after EcoFlow launched the fastest 99Wh power bank yet, Anker is firing back at IFA 2025 with a souped-up portable battery of its own. Anker's Prime Power Bank (26k, 300W) supports 250W of input, or up to 300W of output to charge multiple devices simultaneously, making it a decent runner-up. It arrives alongside a revamped Prime series of devices that includes a Qi2 25W charging station, a small but powerful GaN wall charger, and a 14-in-1 docking station that supports up to three displays.

The cheaper of the two is the €49.99 (around $58) Pro 2 USB-C charging cable that includes an inline Qi2 charging puck that can wirelessly charge a smartphone or earbuds at up to 15W speeds.

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may have a huge camera island, according to the latest rumor from a few hours ago, but unfortunately the same cannot be said about its battery.

"This isn't just a hack anymore; it's the biggest project I've ever done."
