Xiaomi officially announced the international launch of its newest accessory focused on mobile energy, the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank, which hits the market with an extremely compact design proposal. The device stands out for its thickness of just 6 millimeters, a measurement that places it among the thinnest options currently available for consumers seeking maximum portability. Disponibilizado initially in Reino Unido and in select Europa countries, the equipment was developed to meet the growing demand for charging solutions that do not add excessive bulk to the daily carrying of smartphones and other essential gadgets.

The accessory weighs approximately 98 grams, which makes it easy to handle and transport in shirt pockets or small compartments in bags and backpacks. The construction of the product uses materials that guarantee resistance without compromising lightness, in line with the minimalist aesthetic that the Chinese manufacturer has adopted in its premium line of peripherals. The internal battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh, enough volume to guarantee a full recharge on most mid-range smartphones or a significant partial charge on high-end models with larger batteries.

This launch reflects the company’s clear strategy to compete in the high-end magnetic accessories segment, offering a more affordable and physically more discreet alternative to traditional options. The embedded technology allows the user to keep the power bank attached to the phone during use, such as when calling or browsing, without the extra weight causing significant discomfort. Ergonomics was one of the central pillars in the development of this model, aiming for almost imperceptible integration with the cell phone.

Loading Specifications and Versatility

The new Xiaomi power bank offers users flexibility through two distinct power transfer methods. The magnetic wireless charging system operates at a maximum power of 15 watts for devices compatible with the Qi2 standard and Android ecosystems that support this technology. Para iPhone users, the accessory automatically adjusts the output power to 7.5 watts, respecting the limitations and safety protocols established by Apple for third-party charging via induction.

In addition to magnetic convenience, the device has a bidirectional USB-C port that significantly expands its practical usefulness. Através of the wired connection, the output power increases to 22.5 watts, allowing much faster charging for urgent moments. Essa The same port is used to recharge the external battery itself, accepting inputs of up to 20 watts, which reduces the time needed for the power bank to be ready for full use again.

The versatility of the equipment extends to compatibility with a wide range of portable electronics. Além of smartphones, the system is capable of powering wireless headphones, smartwatches and other small devices that use the same connection standards. Intelligent power management identifies the type of device connected and adjusts the electrical current to prevent damage to the gadgets’ internal components, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Advanced battery and safety technology

To achieve the reduced thickness of 6 millimeters without sacrificing the 5000 mAh capacity, the Xiaomi engineering team chose to use silicon-carbon battery cells. Esta Emerging technology enables superior energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion cells, resulting in a physically smaller component that stores the same amount of energy. Dados technicians indicate that this choice provided an increase in energy efficiency of around 13%, essential for the viability of the ultra-thin project.

Durability and security have been prioritized through the implementation of nine layers of circuit protection. The system constantly monitors temperature, voltage and current, preventing the risk of overheating, short circuit or overload of both the power bank and the device being charged. Testes laboratory tests conducted by the manufacturer indicate that the battery maintains consistent charge retention even after hundreds of cycles of use, ensuring the longevity of the product.

Pricing and global expansion

Sales of the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank began on the British market with a suggested retail price of 49.99 pounds sterling. In a direct conversion to Brazilian currency, considering current exchange rates, the value is approximately 358 reais, although taxes and import costs may change the final price in other territories. The price positioning places the accessory competitively against direct rivals that offer greater thicknesses or lower capacities.

Expansion into other global markets is expected to occur gradually throughout 2026, following initial reception at Europa. Xiaomi plans to introduce the product in regions of Ásia and Américas, adapting distribution according to the demand for magnetic accessories in these locations. Availability on official channels and retail partners is expected to increase in the coming months, consolidating the brand’s presence in the high-tech portable power solutions sector.
