Why Vortex
Every feature serves one idea: staying powered, connected and entertained when there’s no charger in sight.
6,000 mAh+ battery
The backbone. Days of light use on a single charge.
Emergency solar
A rear solar panel that trickle-charges when you’re stranded. A lifeline, not your daily charger.
Built-in projector
Turn a tent wall or a hostel ceiling into a big screen.
How it's meant to work
The idea behind Vortex in three steps.
Charge normally
Day to day, Vortex charges over USB-C like any phone. The 6,000 mAh+ battery is built to comfortably outlast a normal phone on a single charge.
Caught without power, use solar
No charger around? The rear solar panel trickle-charges the battery. It's an emergency backup for when you're stranded, not a way to skip charging altogether.
Help someone else out
Reverse charging lets you share a bit of your own battery with a friend's phone or earbuds when they're the ones running low.
