Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W review

27 September 2026
Petite power.


Delta Tango Jr., 28 Sep 2026In this particular power bank it's only about one thin... moreWell i understand the point but 10.000mAh in a phone is already pretty light when the phone weight is still at 230g

    Heroidosama, 28 Sep 2026battery size is important while compactivity is also import... moreIt will not. Wireless charging is wildly inefficient. Also, if you have say 4000MAh left in the powerbank and 0% in your phone you can't charge it beyond 2000MAh in one sitting. You can't push electricity from a place of less energy to a place of more energy.

      Good for short trips like to the botanic gardens, taking photos, which I've done before. Turns out taking photos all day can drain a lot of battery and this is not as unwieldy as a big power bank. But even for a 5000 mAh phone, these usually won't fill up more than 60-70% of battery life, since the capacity doesn't correlate with how big of a battery this can charge

        I bought this and was bitterly disappointed at how bad it is , I read two articles on it and snapped it up as soon as it became available and somehow both of those articles failed to mention the compatibility issue. If I had known I would have left it well alone

          UGREEN has already done something similar a while back. 8.6mm but it supports 20W. This seems like an exact copy of it.

            pl2rts, 28 Sep 2026I don't understand why they still make them this small... moreIn this particular power bank it's only about one thing: WEIGHT (or better ... the lack thereof).

            The Xiaomi Ultra Thin has only one priority ... TRAVELING LIGHT ...

            You need to consider this a hassle-free ultra portable top-up charge !
            Comparable with the spare tire in your car, it brings you home (in case of emergency).

              Heroidosama, 28 Sep 2026battery size is important while compactivity is also import... moreExactly ! And way lighter than comparable banks from Anker and Belkin and the likes.
              Perfect solution for not having to travel with charger/adapter/cable mess

                I don't understand why they still make them this small in capacity ? 10.000mAh should be already standard minimum for power banks and looking the size of this brick then 5000mAh is really small for it

                  Been looking for this power bank (in the EU) for almost half a year right now, but seems to be available only in Asia (and, strange but true, neither at TradingShenzen).

                    Wait for the the next update or the one after that, it may have bigger juice and faster charging.

                    Xiaomi clearly made this for iphones

                      So many options that can do 15w already.. My gecko slim does and its probably cheaper. Xiaomi doesnt seem to be good for much these says unless it's a sub-brand and not mobile related. What ever happened.

                        Anonymous, 28 Sep 2026looks cool but methinks high capacity (20000 mAh or higher)... morebattery size is important while compactivity is also important it gives +1 day of use with 5k which in most cases is sufficient.

                          Can this powerbank be reverse charged wirelessly by a Xiaomi 17 on a charger?

                          Does it attach magnetically or do you need to locate it?

                            Anonymous, 28 Sep 2026It always happens with power banks, it prolly really has a ... moreAgreen. Have Phillips 30 000 mAh powerbank using only on hollidays when going abroad and i am not sure about electricity or long travels. Othervise edge 50 Ultra with 125W charging speeds capable of being ready within like 10 minutes is trully awesome.

Atleast its xiaomi and it has good quality. Quality of cell also matters sometimes it also lowers or increases actual capacity of power bank that can be actually used. There are 10000 mah with 6000mah and some better ones with 7500 real mah.

                                  looks cool but methinks high capacity (20000 mAh or higher) is far more important for a power bank

                                    Compactness and size is great but 3500 mAh is a joke for a modern smartphone.
