A travel and lifestyle blogger based in Okinawa, @owncolorstravel, sharing useful tips for fellow travel enthusiasts.
This time, I want to talk about Portable Charger , which are incredibly useful for both travel and everyday use.
The one I had been using was purchased quite a while ago, and I started to feel like it was reaching the end of its lifespan. So, I decided it was time for a replacement.
In the past, I didn’t pay much attention to things like capacity, but Portable Charger have evolved significantly in recent years. I took my time to carefully choose one that would be the most convenient to use.
I hope this helps anyone considering a new purchase!

・Philips DLP4347CG review
I personally use a Portable charger mainly during travel—on flights and at hotels—and as a backup for power outages in Okinawa. On flights, since power outlets are available, I use both the outlet and the mobile battery as needed.
Of course, usage may vary from person to person, so let’s take a closer look at the details of the Philips Power Bank I recently purchased.
First, it’s palm-sized but has a decent weight to it at 270g—a bit heavier than a smartphone. The dimensions are 8.6 × 8.6 × 3.55 cm, and it comes with a convenient rubber strap for easy carrying.
This versatile Portable Charger supports wireless charging and has a 10,000mAh capacity, allowing you to charge a smartphone about 2 to 3.5 times and a tablet about once.
It features both USB-A and USB-C (input/output), and the display shows the remaining battery level, which is a handy feature.
One of its best features is that it comes with built-in Lightning and Type-C cables and an AC plug, so you can plug it directly into an outlet. It also supports charging up to five devices simultaneously, making it perfect for both iPhone and Android users, as well as for charging camera gear while traveling.
The one I used before required a separate cable and plug to connect to an outlet. While that worked fine, the Philips DLP4347CG is much more compact and travel-friendly, making it an all-in-one solution for trips.
It comes with power adapter plugs for Australia, the UK, and Europe, making it compatible with various international travel destinations.
It also supports fast charging, so the charging speed is excellent.
The stand is designed so that when you pull it out, you can place your smartphone vertically or horizontally.
In recent years, there have been reports of in-flight fire incidents caused by portable batteries. However, this device is certified and equipped with six safety features: overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overheating protection, and short-circuit protection. It is also approved for carry-on use on both domestic and international flights, making it a reliable choice for charging during flights, as well as for travel and business trips.
Summary
Here are the key features of the Philips DLP4347CG portable charger:
- Magnetic wireless charging
- Strap for easy portability
- Equipped with an AC adapter for international travel
- LED display for clear battery status indication
- Holder for both vertical and horizontal placement
- Plug-in type, reducing the need for extra cables
- Supports charging up to five devices simultaneously
With its outstanding functionality, this portable charger is perfect for travel, daily outings, and home use. I’m very satisfied with this purchase!
