Xiaomi has unveiled its latest power accessory, the Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 2. This slim and portable battery pack is designed to support magnetic wireless charging. It is one of the first accessories on the market to be compatible with the Qi2 standard.
Qi2: The Next Generation of Magnetic Wireless Charging
The introduction of the MagSafe charging standard on iPhones has paved the way for the development of Qi2, a universal open standard for magnetic wireless charging. Currently, only the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 models support Qi2. It remains uncertain when other smartphone brands will adopt this new standard. However, accessory manufacturers have already begun to embrace it. Belkin, for instance, recently showcased a range of Qi2-compatible products at CES 2024.
Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 2: Crowdfunding and Pricing
Xiaomi's Magnetic Power Bank 2 is now available for crowdfunding in China, priced at ¥219 (~$30). It is expected to go on open sale in the near future. This power bank boasts a 6,000mAh battery capacity and supports up to 15W output for Qi2 devices. For MagSafe products, such as the iPhone 12 lineup, it offers a 7.5W output.
Versatile and Stylish Design
The Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 2 features a single USB Type-C port that supports 18W output and 20W input. Additionally, it has a built-in stand, allowing it to be used as a wireless charging dock. The back of the accessory is adorned with a stylish leather finish and it is available in two colors: Porcelain White and Clear Sky Blue. Moreover, the battery pack is compatible with official MagSafe cases, adding to its versatility.
With the release of the Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 2, users can now enjoy the convenience of magnetic wireless charging on their Qi2-compatible devices. Its sleek design, affordable price, and compatibility with popular smartphone models make it an attractive choice for tech enthusiasts.
