Trozk Turns the Legendary Motorola DynaTAC 8000X Into a 20,000mAh Power Bank With Walkie-Talkie Features
The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X is one of the most iconic devices in mobile phone history. Released more than 40 years ago, it became known as the world’s first commercial mobile phone and helped define what portable communication would become. Now, that unmistakable brick-style design is making a comeback in a very different form.
Trozk has introduced a retro-inspired portable charger called the Trozk Cellular Power Bank, a high-capacity battery pack designed to look like the classic DynaTAC 8000X. While it may look like an old-school mobile phone, it is built for modern devices, offering fast charging, multiple ports, and even walkie-talkie functionality.
The Trozk Cellular Power Bank comes with a 20,000mAh battery capacity, making it powerful enough for everyday charging and travel use. It is designed for users who want more than a standard portable charger, combining nostalgic styling with practical features for phones, tablets, handheld gaming devices, and laptops.
One of its biggest highlights is its 165W maximum output. With support for Power Delivery 3.1, this power bank can charge demanding devices such as a MacBook Pro, Steam Deck, tablet, or other USB-C powered electronics. Inside, Trozk says the unit uses four EV-grade batteries, giving it the power needed for high-output charging.
The charging setup includes three ports: two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Each USB-C port can deliver up to 100W, while the USB-A port supports up to 30W output. When both USB-C ports are used at the same time, the total maximum output reaches 165W. If all three ports are connected simultaneously, the total output drops to 108W. When one USB-C port and the USB-A port are used together, the power bank can deliver up to 130W.
Beyond charging, the Trozk Cellular Power Bank includes a walkie-talkie mode, making it more than just a novelty gadget. The front of the device features an LED display that shows the remaining battery level, while a speaker sits above the screen. Below the display are backlit buttons used to control the walkie-talkie feature. A microphone is positioned near the bottom, and the removable antenna sits at the top beside the charging ports.
To use the walkie-talkie function, users will need two units of the power bank. This makes it a fun option for camping, outdoor events, road trips, or anyone who enjoys gadgets with a retro communication twist. Trozk also says the device can work as a voice recorder, adding another layer of utility to its unusual design.
The look of the Trozk Cellular Power Bank is clearly one of its biggest selling points. Its oversized vintage cellphone shape makes it stand out from ordinary battery packs, and it is likely to catch attention wherever it is used. For fans of retro tech, it offers a playful tribute to the early days of mobile phones while still delivering modern charging performance.
The Trozk Cellular Power Bank is listed at $149, though it has been available at a discounted price of $89 at the time of writing. For a 20,000mAh power bank with 165W output, multiple ports, a display, walkie-talkie support, and a nostalgic design, it could appeal to both practical users and collectors of unusual tech accessories.
This is not the only retro-themed product from Trozk. The company also offers a MagSafe power bank shaped like a floppy disk, complete with a microSD card slot that allows it to function as external storage. Another model takes inspiration from classic pagers, allowing users to send messages between compatible beeper-style power banks.
With its blend of vintage design and modern charging technology, the Trozk Cellular Power Bank is more than a simple portable battery. It is a conversation starter, a high-output charger, and a retro communication gadget rolled into one. For anyone looking for a unique power bank that can charge laptops, handheld consoles, tablets, and phones while paying tribute to mobile phone history, this DynaTAC-inspired charger is one of the more eye-catching options available.
