Xiaomi: This stylish power bank is particularly compact and lightweight

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.
