Xiaomi: This stylish power bank is particularly compact and lightweight
Xiaomi: New, particularly compact power bank
Looks a bit like a smartphone, but is actually a power bank: Xiaomi has presented a new and ultra-compact power bank with a useful capacity. The price is said to be low, but this should be taken with a grain of salt.
Xiaomi is now offering a new power bank, at least in its home market of China. The well-designed device - in terms of the rounded corners, the dimensions and the choice of materials - does not look dissimilar to a high-quality smartphone, at least in the product photos.
With dimensions of 113 x 53 millimeters and a thickness of just 10 millimeters, the power bank is nearly as thick as a smartphone, which should make it easier to carry in a handbag. The weight is just 93 grams. Xiaomi specifies the battery capacity as 5000 mAh, which means that the empty battery of a smartphone can be fully or near-fully recharged.
The Xiaomi Ultra-Thin Power Bank only has a single port; unsurprisingly, the manufacturer has opted for a modern and twist-proof USB-C port. A maximum of 20 watts can be output, while the power bank itself can be charged with 18 watts. The model is currently available in China for the equivalent of around $18, but there is no information on global availability as of yet. Plenty of alternatives are available on Amazon for similar prices, such as those from INIU or UYAYOHU.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
