Intro
The Orico Q1 is a very affordable 1 port Qualcomm Quick Charge USB Battery bank. It has 10,400mAhs which is enough to get you through a long time off the charger for most devices.
Look and feel
The Q1 looks very stylish and has a very sturdy feel to it. It’s hefty but not too bad. It has an easy status button, 4 easy indicators of battery level, and a USB in and out port. I wish they would have included 2 ports on a pack this size, because it has enough juice for 2 devices.
