₹10,900
The 1460 mAh on the box is measured at 7.62 V, not the 3.7 V every other power bank quotes, which is why it looks tiny next to a 20000 mAh brick -- the honest comparison is about 3000 mAh equivalent, delivering roughly two thirds of one iPhone charge.
Full details →Who the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB Portable External SSD USB 3.2 is for
Buy it if: Anyone offloading video or photos in the field who needs the drive to survive being dropped.
Avoid it if: Anyone who needs sustained 1000 MB/s writes for hours -- no consumer SSD holds that.
Who the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack Wireless Power Bank is for
Buy it if: iPhone users who want a top-up that attaches magnetically with no cable at all.
Avoid it if: Anyone who needs real capacity -- a Rs3,299 20000 mAh pack delivers roughly five times as much.
