I also bought this after buying a 737 and - this may surprise many - the 737 is as good if not better than the Prime 250w if youre not charging anything as big as a lappy, for example. The Prime 250w only out-performs the 737 on thirstier devices.

More concerning to me, though, were the two glitches the Prime 250 had str8nout of the box. The 737 has NEVER had anything even approaching a malfunction. For no apparent reason, my Prime 250 started detecting a non-existant power draw on the USB-a port, which prevented it from being able to update firmware! I had to plug something in to the USB-A port and unplug it again to solve that. Then a few min later, it stopped charging for no reason at 94.1%. Switched charging to the other C port to finish. No other malfunctions yet. Within 2 hours of posting this to the Anker subreddit, another person replied the same thing happened to their USB-A port when they got theirs! So NOT a fluke or isolated incident.

In short, the 737 is probably the better product. It seems like nothing will ever go wrong with it (jinx). The charging speed and battery capacity increases are both negligible - 170w vs 140w and 27, 650 vs 24, 000.

I use mine on my phone and after my phone fully charged, the powerbank is already down to 60 percent could i have gotten a defective powerbank?

Why does it need Bluetooth? If you ask me, that's a waste of power if you already have a display that does the job
