Xiaomi is back with another sleek charging companion, and this time it’s all about striking a balance between portability and endurance. Just a few months after launching its ultra-slim 5,000mAh magnetic power bank in January 2026, the Chinese tech giant has quietly unveiled a bigger sibling on its crowdfunding platform, Youpin. The new Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank packs a 10,000mAh rated capacity – exactly double that of the earlier model. But as you might expect, that extra juice comes with a slightly thicker profile.
Let’s get straight to the numbers. The original 5,000mAh version measures a razor-thin 6mm, making it one of the slimmest magnetic chargers you could slip into a pocket. The new 10,000mAh unit, by contrast, is 13.2mm thick. That’s more than double the thickness, but before you write it off as a brick, consider this: most regular power banks with a 10,000mAh capacity hover around 15mm to 18mm. So Xiaomi’s offering is still impressively lean for its class. It also weighs roughly 195 grams, which is light enough to attach magnetically to your phone without feeling like you’re carrying a small dumbbell.
Faster Charging Across the Board
Capacity isn’t the only spec that got a bump. Xiaomi has significantly upgraded the power delivery on this new model. Wired fast charging now maxes out at 45W, a noticeable jump from the 22.5W on the 5,000mAh variant. Wireless output has also improved, climbing from 15W to 20W. That means whether you plug in your Android phone or snap on an iPhone with MagSafe, you’ll get noticeably quicker top-ups.
The 45W wired capability is particularly interesting. It’s enough to fast-charge a compatible smartphone from near-empty to around 70-80% in half an hour, and it can even handle tablets or smaller laptops in a pinch. For everyday users, this transforms the power bank from a simple emergency backup into a genuine travel workhorse.
One USB-C Port, Two Devices at Once
Here’s where things stay the same – and not everyone will be thrilled. The port configuration is unchanged: a single USB-C port handles both input and output. Yes, you can charge two devices simultaneously (one wired, one wireless), but you won’t find a second USB-A or USB-C port for extra convenience. That said, the power bank supports a broad range of fast-charging protocols, including PD 3.0, QC 3.0, Apple 2.4A, and FCP. So whether you’re an iPhone user, a Samsung owner, or rocking a Huawei device, you’re covered.
Strong Magnets, Safety Features, and 30W Self-Recharging
Xiaomi hasn’t skimped on the fundamentals. The magnetic array is described as “strong” – which is critical for keeping the power bank aligned with your phone, especially if you tend to toss your device into a bag while charging. Multiple safety features are baked in, including overcurrent, overvoltage, and temperature protection. And when it’s time to recharge the power bank itself, it supports 30W fast input, so you can go from empty to full in a reasonable time frame.
Crowdfunding Now, Global Launch Later
As of now, the 45W UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is exclusively available on Xiaomi’s own crowdfunding platform, Youpin. The early-bird price is set at CNY 349, which converts to roughly $51 (exact pricing will vary by region and taxes). For context, the 5,000mAh model was initially crowdfunded at a lower price but later launched globally – and Xiaomi has confirmed that the 10,000mAh version is expected to follow the same path.
👉 Grab it early on Youpin
If you’re in China or have access to the platform, this is your chance to snag one at the crowdfunding price before the eventual worldwide rollout. International availability hasn’t been officially dated, but if history repeats itself, we could see a global release in Q3 or Q4 of this year.
Who Is This For?
Let’s be honest – the 5,000mAh version is still a fantastic choice for minimalists who just need a “get-through-the-afternoon” boost. But if you regularly forget to charge your phone overnight, take long flights, or use your device for navigation and streaming while traveling, the extra capacity will feel like a lifesaver. The added thickness (13.2mm) is a compromise, but it’s a smaller sacrifice than carrying two separate power banks or being stranded with a dead phone.
On the flip side, power users who need to charge a laptop or multiple devices simultaneously might want something with more ports and higher total output. This is still very much a magnetic, phone-first accessory.
Final Verdict
Xiaomi has done something genuinely clever here: it doubled the capacity without bloating the form factor into obnoxious territory. The 10,000mAh UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is thinner than most competitors at the same capacity, charges faster both wired and wirelessly, and keeps the clean, minimalist design that made the original so appealing. Yes, the single USB-C port is a limitation, and the 13.2mm thickness is noticeable if you’re coming from the 6mm version. But for around $50, you’re getting a well-engineered, future-proofed magnetic battery that should handle a full day’s heavy use with ease.
