Instead of adding more bulk to one's iPhone or Android phone, the Megalo Mini is touted as the [world's smallest portable charger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-charger) that is tiny enough to hang off of one's keychain comfortably. The size of a lighter, the Megalo Mini is capable of recharging the iPhone 5 up to 75% and Android phone up to 100%, depending on the model.
