Xiaomi’s recent advancements in consumer electronics and beyond paint the brand in a favorable light. It seems the Chinese company wants to have a foothold in every lucrative market segment. Apple’s MagSafe technology remains the gold standard for smartphone accessories. Therefore, the majority of leading Android OEMs prefer to incorporate compatibility instead. For instance, take the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank.
Ever since airlines made sweeping changes regarding what types of power banks are allowed on flights, travelers have no choice but to comply. Xiaomi’s remarkably slim SKU was first unveiled alongside the new 17 series. Although these smartphones do not have internal magnets, some protective cases do.
A quick search online shows that almost every first-party and third-party suppliers offer MagSafe-ready options. According to the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank product page, it should work as long as wireless charging is supported.
To give you an idea of just how svelte this accessory is, the housing measures a mere 6 mm. The unit also weighs around 98 grams only. Meanwhile, the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank battery capacity is approximately 5,000 mAh with a maximum output rating of 15W.
“It uses a silicon-carbon anode battery cell with 16% silicon content and a large-area graphite sheet. This cell design helps improve energy density while maintaining a slim form factor,” writes Xiaomi. To maintain a minimalist form factor, it resembles a sleek metallic slab.
Apart from the “Mi” branding, the only other cosmetic details include the LED status lights, USB-C port, and power button. The corners curve gently, while the edges show precision chamfering. Overall, the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is as pocket-friendly as it gets.
