Ugreen has launched the PB610, a 10,000 mAh power bank that trades the usual slab design for a silver metal body, red accents, a small display with emoji support, and a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a carry strap. It is priced at 199 yuan, or about $30, and it pushes up to 45W through both the integrated cable and a separate USB-C port.
The Ugreen PB610 is aimed at buyers who want a compact 10,000 mAh power bank that looks more polished than a typical emergency charger. The catch is simple: it does not comply with China’s new 2026 national safety standard for portable batteries, even though Ugreen says the cells are designed to resist overheating and offer long service life.
Metal body, cylindrical cells and a tiny screen
Instead of the familiar flat battery pack layout, the PB610 uses two cylindrical cells inside a metal shell. Ugreen also fitted a 1.47-inch display that shows charging information and, for reasons known only to the accessory gods, emoji.
The dimensions are 25.5 × 58.5 × 109 mm, and the weight comes in at 238.7 g. That is light enough to stay portable, but not so light that it disappears into a pocket without reminding you it exists.
45W charging and the built-in USB-C cable
On paper, the charging setup is the real selling point. Ugreen says the PB610 can deliver 45W via the built-in USB-C cable or the USB-C port, with an additional USB-A port included for older gear.
Ugreen claims that 30 minutes of charging can take an iPhone 17 Pro Max to about 65% and a Xiaomi 17 Pro Max to about 43%. Those numbers are the sort of headline-friendly promise that power-bank makers love, but the more practical win here is obvious: one cable lives on the device, which means one less thing rattling around in a bag.

For now, the PB610 is available on JD.com in China. The bigger question is whether Ugreen keeps this design language for other markets, because a metal, emoji-equipped charger with a strap-cable is exactly the kind of oddly specific hardware that tends to find an audience if the price stays low.
