    Is the Omni 20 USB-C perfect? No. One obvious downside compared to a powerback such as the Anker Astro mini is size. You're not going to be slipping the Omni 20 USB-C into your back pocket when you go out and about. But then remember that the Omnicharge has over six times the capacity of the Astro mini.
