Baseus has launched its latest portable charging accessory, the Picogo Air AM71, across the US, UK, and Eurozone. Billed as an ultra-slim magnetic power bank, the device is engineered to add minimal bulk to a handset during refueling. With a thickness of just 6.8mm, it sits only marginally above Apple’s iPhone Air at 5.6mm and undercuts popular slim rivals, including the Ugreen MagFlow Air and Anker Nano, both of which measure 8.6mm.
Design and Key Specifications
The power bank houses a 5,000mAh cell and attaches magnetically to compatible phones, delivering up to 7.5W of wireless output. Because it lacks Qi2 certification, its inductive charging speed trails the 15W offered by comparable Anker and Ugreen units. Users who need a faster top-up can turn to the USB-C port, which supports wired charging at up to 20W.

Smart Monitoring and Build
Baseus has embedded NFC PowerSense, enabling real-time power monitoring through a companion app. Once synced, owners can view remaining capacity, battery health, charging cycles, and internal temperature directly on their smartphone. The exterior uses a grooved aluminum unibody design that aids heat dissipation, complemented by CCC certification for air travel within China.
Pricing and Market Positioning
The Picogo Air AM71 carries a US retail price of $69.99. In the UK it sells for £61.13, while Eurozone customers pay €69.99. These figures place it slightly above the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank, a device that shares the same 6.8mm profile and comparable charging speeds. Xiaomi’s alternative retails for £54.99 in the UK and €59.99 across the EU, highlighting a narrow price gap between two similarly positioned ultra-thin charging solutions.
