Key Takeaways

1. The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is only 6 mm thick, making it one of the slimmest magnetic power banks available.
2. It offers wireless charging up to 15W for Xiaomi 17 devices and 7.5W for iPhones, with 22.5W wired charging via USB-C.
3. The power bank has a 5,000 mAh battery, providing at least one full charge for most smartphones, and features four battery level LEDs.
4. It is constructed from an aluminum alloy shell and fire-resistant fiberglass, with ten layers of safety features to prevent overheating.
5. Launched in Japan at ¥7,980 (about $50.44), there is currently no news on international availability.

The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank has been unveiled with a significantly thinner profile compared to last year’s Super Slim Magnetic Power Bank 5000 (102 x 69.6 x 8.7 mm). This new model is just 6 mm (0.2 inch) thick, making it slightly thicker than the iPhone Air’s 5.6 mm, and positioning it as one of the most slender magnetic power banks on the market today.

Charging Features

This power bank attaches magnetically to the back of compatible smartphones for wireless charging. It offers up to 15W of wireless charging for Xiaomi 17 devices, while iPhones are limited to a slower 7.5W. In comparison, newer magnetic power banks like the Ugreen MagFlow 10,000 mAh (currently priced at $69.99 on Amazon) can provide up to 25W with Qi2 technology. However, the Xiaomi model can achieve a quicker 22.5W wired charging via its USB-C port. Photos circulating online also suggest that it fits neatly on various devices, such as the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro, and OnePlus 15.

Battery and Build Quality

Even with its slim profile, the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is equipped with a high-density 5,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which should be sufficient for at least one complete charge for most smartphones. There are four LEDs to indicate the remaining battery power, and a specific power button allows users to start or stop the charging process.

The power bank is crafted from an aluminum alloy shell that gives it a sleek metallic look, while the side that faces the phone is made of fire-resistant fiberglass. Xiaomi also asserts that this power bank comes with ten layers of safety features, including dual NTC temperature sensors to avoid overheating during the charging process.

Availability and Pricing

The UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank has been launched in Japan, priced at ¥7,980 (approximately US$50.44), and is available on Amazon and through Xiaomi’s official store. However, there has been no announcement regarding a broader international release. On the other hand, the 8.7 mm thick Super Slim Magnetic Power Bank 5000 is already obtainable in the UK and various EU countries.
