O2 powers into a new partnership with Anker

Hey everyone,

We have some exciting news to share with you all. From today, Anker will replace Belkin as our charging and power partner. Why the switch to Anker? They are charging experts and are focused on developing new and improved charging technology based on consumer feedback and needs, which is the foundation of their success.

Anker is the number one UK brand and a global player in the charging and power product category.
Over half of Anker’s employees (53%) work in their Research & Development (R&D) department, ensuring their products are always at the cutting edge.
Anker was voted number one in a recent O2 survey for ‘Quality and Reliability, ‘Value for Money’, and ‘Design’

Why buy from O2 instead of somewhere else? Anker being the UK leader, do sell their products across many retailers so we’re pleased to announce that the Anker range that O2 will be selling is exclusive to us for 6 months. And better yet, most of the Belkin range that will be leaving us, has a direct replacement from Anker – and in the majority of cases is cheaper too!

So, if you’re in need of some shiny new power or charging accessories for your phone or tablet, check out our new Anker range here.

Same here. Always Anker for me (and anyone else I buy for)

Fantastic feedback guys! This is a new partnership we're very excited by, so if you have any Anker product suggestions or feedback, feel free to drop me a message. I can't promise anything, but will definitely pass on any feedback to our device team for them to look into or consider.

PS. Full disclosure: I'm an Anker fanboy. I own two of their power banks - a 20,000mAh one for longer journeys/trips, and a 10,000mAh PD one for longer days and faster charging. Also two wireless chargers (one I've built into a desk, one in front of the telly), and about 1,894 cables laying around the flat.

I also have 2 Anker powerbanks @Chris_K . Like you, one for travel and the other one, my other half got for me when I was in hospital.

I once had a delayed flight and it was re-routed to Manchester. My phone battery was flat and I needed to stay in contact with my husband who had no idea where he was to collect me from.

I borrowed a phone from another passenger and managed to stay in touch.

I vowed that would never happen again and I bought a powerbank as soon as I got home.

I've got the big power bank too as my iPhone needs charging twice a day.
No such problems with my OP which easily goes all day on one charge though

I have a 30000 and a 20000mAh power bank along with a new battery for the Note 4, all Anker as well as the USB cables I bought recently. Its worth paying for quality.

I have got one power bank at home but it is not an Anker one.
I also have a few (lots) of cables, and my phone charges overnight and gets topped up during the day (joys of a desk job!) so tend to not need one too often.
Did enjoy the convenience of being able to swap batteries if needed on the G4, but the v30 does ok without it.
