INIU P73: The Magnetic Battery with a Kickstand and a Cable for a Strap

Snapping the battery onto my phone, trying the stand and finding the cable hidden in the lanyard.

Article published November 3, 2026.

I like a power bank that solves the small annoyances along with the obvious one. The INIU P73 gives me a battery, a phone stand and a USB-C cable that stores as its own carrying loop. That last part is much more useful than another loose cable at the bottom of my bag.

Snap it on and stand the phone up

In the video I identify this unit as the P73, a 10,000mAh magnetic power bank. I attach it to my phone and charging starts. Then I open the kickstand and try holding the phone at a viewing angle, including turning the setup sideways.

That makes sense for the way I use my phone while traveling. I can keep it propped up instead of balancing it against something and hoping the charging cable does not pull it over.

The lanyard is also the cable

The body has a metal face and a plastic phone-contact side. I point out the charge indicator and the two USB-C ports, which I describe as supporting input and output.

Then I disconnect the lanyard and use it as a USB-C cable to charge my phone. When I am done, the end goes back into its cap and becomes a loop again. It is a simple idea, but having the cable attached to the battery makes it harder to leave one half of the charging setup behind.

A hands-on look, rather than a charging-speed benchmark

I discuss the advertised 15W wireless and 45W wired ratings, but I do not measure either maximum in this clip. I also do not run the timed phone-charging test mentioned in the original video title. The unit I handle and name is the P73; check the model and variant on the original listing before comparing its specifications.

INIU sent this one over. My actual demonstration covers attachment, the stand and charging with the included cable. Taking it along for my phone and gaming devices is the plan, rather than a completed Steam Deck or Switch compatibility test. If you are comparing the different designs I have opened, my INIU 140W power-bank article covers the larger model separately.
