I would not recommend buying this. The solar panel is not powerful enough to charge the battery in a timely fashion. The compass is also useless. If you just need a power bank and a flashlight, it seems to work fine. So far, I charged my android phone from 57% to 100% in just 20-30 minutes. It had 2 or 3 out of the 4 power lights on, so it might be able to fully charge a halfway dead phone twice. I’d look for a higher quality solar charger elsewhere if that’s what you’re interested in.

I would say that the two things going for it aside from OK price are the following:
- USB C output which is increasingly useful (though max output 0f 2.0 Amps is not turbo charge mode)
- Doubles as a flashlight with long duration if in a blackout
Thje solar cells in such devices are barely more than decorative unless you are in Death Valley and trying to shoo away buzzards.
