I had a portableSamsung Powerbank for my GS7 that had a built-in micro USB connector. Hopefully, Samsung will offer one soon. Any suggestions?

I have a Samsung portable Powerbank that has a usb plug in for any cord type. I've used it once so far charging the S8+ and it works well.

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses!

Samsung has a portable fast charger but I don't want to to carry a cable or adapter. Are there any wireless portable fast chargers? I have seen a few that are not fast charging.

I think the best bet is to get one that has fast charge and buy a second cable to leave it attached. Or something like this.

Galaxy S8 Plus Battery Case, 5200mAh Rechargeable External Battery Portable Charger Protective Charging Case Juice Pack Power Bank Cover for Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus (2017) (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y63HPC...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5777338

I'll probably get this one for business travel. I really want a fast charging power bank that is pocketable and has a built-in cable. I may get the one that isn't fast charging.

Currently charging the Gorilla Gadgets wireless power bank. It's as tall and wide as the GS8 but two or three times thicker. It's supposed to be good for two and a half wireless charges.

I've got the new fast charging Samsung power bank -- quite a nice little thing. You can get like four-inch cables -- I've got the power bank plus a four-inch cable in a very small plastic bag, and that works fine for me.

Advantage of the Gorilla Gadgets portable wireless charger.

No wires.
Good for two and a half full charges.
Recharges with either a micro USB or USB-C cable.
USB connection for wired USB-C and micro USB charging.

Disadvantages of the Gorilla Gadgets wireless power bank.

Not very pocket friendly but still pocketable.
Not a fast charger.
