Yup, looks like it. Anyway, does the U21 has been discontinued?

Can you post a picture of this optimized clicky side switch that you are using please?
When can we expect to see reviews?
Can you explain why U22 is specced to deliver so much shorter throw than U21? It should be very roughly 15% worse, not 48% worse.
Thinking about it I came with 5 possible explanations (or partial explanations).
Overall - I don’t know what to think about it.
That’s why I wait for reviews.
BTW, Manker, did you consider adding a powerbank function to this light?
This seems to be the only thing missing…
What’s the big knife? And when did Manker start making knives?
What is the tail / tube diameter of the Manker U22?
Thanks for the photo, it helps a lot. And wow that’s a big difference!
I’d still like to know the actual measurements though.
…………
Isn’t the purple/pink switch led’s the stock color?
(photo from a U21 review/comparison Utorch UT02 vs Manker U21, group buy review for UT02)
Maybe, I don’t know. I’m used to seeing green or blue. Pink seems kinda custom. Me and DB tend to mod a lot of our lights with pink leds. I was thinking Vinh might have changed it to pink, as well.
If pink is stock, then that’s pretty cool.
Is it confirmed that U21 will no longer produced?

Hmmm, that is Dale’s review, but he doesn’t mention that his photo is after modding, but highly possible since you said “Me and DB tend to mod a lot of our lights with pink leds”
I couldn’t find any other reviews or photos anywhere of the switches when illuminated. And Manker doesn’t mention or show it either. Was trying to look also on CPF but it’s still down.
I’m wondering that as well.
Just got mt U22. As the cell is too long to fit in my charger I am limited to USB charging only. How do I know when it is fully charged?
Thought this was $55.95 with the battery bundle? What happened to that price?
Is there any type of charging indicator? Maybe the switch light glows red when charging and blue when finished?
Are they using a 70mm long battery or does it have protection circuitry in it making it closer to 74mm?
Try here at the Manker Aliexpress store.

Thanks! I can’t remember where I was seeing this price before, (Thought it was on their website) but I could swear it included the battery. That listing shows: “Battery not included”
Maybe it was a pre-sale price on their website?
I see another ad that includes the battery.

I’m sure I saw this for $55.95 with the included cell, because I posted about it in another thread. I’m beginning to think it was a presale on mankerlight.com?
It looks like Manker might be using the Samsung 48G:
