Last October, Xiaomi launched the Mi Power Bank 3 Pocket Edition in China. The same product is known as Mi Pocket Power Bank Pro in India. A year later, the company has announced yet another compact battery pack called Xiaomi Power Bank Pocket Edition Pro.

Xiaomi Power Bank Pocket Edition Pro Specifications and Features

The Xiaomi Power Bank Pocket Edition Pro (PB1030ZM) can be considered as the successor of Mi Powe Bank 3 Pocket Edition (PB1022ZM). The new model has a curvy design, a glossy finish, and it is sold in two colors (White, Blue).

Although it has the same 10,000mAh capacity as its forerunner, it arrives with 33W fast charging support instead of 22.5W. Also, it comes with only two ports (1 x USB Type-C, 1 x USB Type-A) rather than four (2 x USB Type-A, 1 x USB Type-C, 1 x MicroUSB).

Despite losing two sports and housing the same-sized battery, the new power bank from Xiaomi is slightly larger and heavier at 105 x 55.8 x 25.5mm and 212g respectively.

Further, the battery pack’s casing is made of PC + ABS material. It supports 22.5W input and can be used to charge different types of devices as it is USB PD (Power Delivery) compatible.

Last but not least, it ships with a USB Typ-C to USB Type-C/Type-A 2-in-1 cable. 

Xiaomi Power Bank Pocket Edition Pro Price and Availability

The Xiaomi Power Bank Pocket Edition Pro is priced at 199 in China. It is currently available for pre-order and will go on sale from October 14.

The product may release in international markets under a different name.

The battery pack was only priced at ₹1,999 ($28) for the supporters. As promised, the company even shipped the product to those who funded it from May 15. More than a week later, the power bank can be now bought by anyone for its original price – ₹2,299 ($32).

The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Boost Pro 30000mAh is a rebranded Mi Power Bank 3 30000mAh. Hence, it has the exact same set of specifications and design.

The battery capacity has a capacity of 30,000mAh and it can output current at a maximum rate of 18W. However, it supports 24W input to recharge it a bit faster. The product supports USB PD (Power Delivery) 3.0 and it is compatible with almost all devices. It even has a low charging mode for accessories.

Talking about ports, it features 2 x USB Type-A (output only), 1 x MicroUSB (input only), and 1 x USB Type-C (input & output). Like any other battery pack, it comes with a smart chip for 16-layer protection.

Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Boost Pro 30000mAh Specifications and Features

As the name suggests, the newly launched Xiaomi Power Bank in India comes with a 30,000mAh capacity. This battery pack supports up to 18W output and 24W input. Most importantly, it relies on USB PD (Power Delivery) 3.0, and therefore, it is compatible with almost all devices.

Like all Xiaomi power banks, this one also has low power charging mode for accessories like fitness trackers, smartwatches, TWS, and more. Unfortunately, despite sporting a USB Type-C port, it will ship with a MicroUSB cable.

It is a known fact that Xiaomi power banks are popular, at least in Asia. The company began to assemble its power banks in India in 2017. The first models were 10,000mAh & 20,000mAh variants of  Mi Power Bank 2i. Since then, all the power banks sold by Xiaomi India have been assembled locally in the country. Now, after three years, the company reveals that it has sold over 10 million units of ‘Made in India’ Mi Power Banks.

In case you are not aware, Xiaomi mostly announces its achievements ahead of launching a new product. Yesterday, the company revealed to launch its first compact and fastest charging power bank in India on November 5. The very next day, the firm now boasts that it has sold over 10 million ‘Made in India’ Mi Power Banks.

Though Xiaomi took 3 years to achieve this milestone, it is impressive anyway. Currently, the company sells the following Power Bank models in India.

• Mi Power Bank 3i 10,000mAh
• Mi Power Bank 3i 20,000mAh
• Mi Wireless Bank 10,000mAh
• Redmi Power Bank 10,000mAh
• Redmi Power Bank 20,000mAh

This coming Thursday, Xiaomi will be unveiling the sixth model. It could be either Mi Power Bank 3 Pocket Edition or Mi Power Bank 3 Super Flash Charge Edition.

Xiaomi is one of the popular power bank makers in the market. The company has been launching new models in the Mi Power Bank 3 series for more than a year. Just recently, it debuted Mi Power Bank 3 Pocket Edition in China. Now, it looks like either this or Mi Power Bank 3 Super Flash Charge Edition will launch in India on November 5.

Although Xiaomi had introduced Mi Power Bank 3 series last year in China, they debuted in India only a few weeks back. Now, the company is teasing to launch a third model on social media.

The tweet by Xiaomi India’s official Twitter handle reads ‘most powerful powerhouse ever’. Further, the company is calling this power bank ‘The Hidden Power House’. Above all, the teaser image compares the silhouette of this upcoming product with the already announced Mi Power Bank 3i 10,000mAh.

Since the image shows this power bank to be smaller and more compact than the already available models, we believe this could be either Mi Power Bank 3 Pocket Edition or Mi Power Bank 3 Super Flash Charge Edition. That’s because they are the only small-sized power banks sold by Xiaomi in its home country China.

Further, since the company is calling it their most powerful powerhouse ever, it should be ideally the Super Charge Edition. But in India, Xiaomi has only launched 18W power banks. Hence, as the Pocket Edition supports 22.5 charging, it can be also said as the brand’s fastest charging power bank in the country.

Anyway, we will know everything about this compact power bank when it will go official on November 5.

Xiaomi is a well-known brand in the power bank space just like in the smartphone market, at least in Asia. The company’s power banks have been a go-to recommendation for years now. Currently, the firm’s power banks are in their third-generation. It has been launching newer models in the series for more than a year. Now, Xiaomi has debuted another new model called Mi Power Bank 3 Pocket Edition in its home country China.

Last week, Xiaomi India teased to launch new power banks in the country. We predicted it to be the popular Mi Power Bank 3 series sold in China. Fortunately, that happens to be true, the company has launched the basic 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh models of this series as Mi Power Bank 3i in India priced at ₹899 ($12) and ₹1,499 ($20) respectively. They are already up for sale on Xiaomi online store (Mi.com) and Amazon India.

Just like their predecessor Mi Power Bank 2i series, the Mi Power Bank 2 models also feature metal casing for the 10,000mAh variant and plastic casing for the 20,000mAh version.

The smaller model comes with 2 x USB Type-A ports for output and a MicroUSB port as well as a USB Type-C port for input, On the other hand, the larger version sports 3 x USB Type-A for output, a MicroUSB port for input, and a USB Type-C port for both input as well as output (Power Delivery – PD).

Though both of them provide maximum charging speed of 18W, they differ in size and weight due to their capacity. Another common feature between the two is the low power charging mode for accessories like fitness trackers, TWS, and more.

The company says that they are manufactured (assembled) in India just like the previous models with 12-layer protection that includes temperature protection, input over-voltage protection, and electrostatic protection to name a few.

Last but not least, the Mi Power Bank 3i 20,000mAh is currently only available in Sandstone Black color version. Whereas, the Mi Power Bank 3i 10,000mAh can be purchased in either Midnight Black or Metallic Blue color variants.

Xiaomi India has scheduled an event called “Smarter Living 2021” for September 29 to unveil a number of smart IoT products. Ahead of it, the company has now announced to launch a new power bank in the country on September 22. The teaser picture for the same does not say much but we think it could be one of the Mi Power Bank 3 series models sold in China.

Currently, Xiaomi sells Mi Power Bank 2i series and Redmi Power Banks in India. The former was initially launched in November of 2017. Since then, the company has only updated it with new colors (Red, Blue & Black), whereas features and design remained the same. 

Hence, we think this upcoming power bank to be a Mi Power Bank 3 series model. The teaser picture shared by the company does not resemble a single power bank it sells in China. However, the teaser page for the product on Mi.com India kind of confirms it to arrive with both MicroUSB and USB Type-C ports just like the Redmi Power Banks.

Since the high-end 45W and 50W Mi Power Bank 3 models don’t feature MicroUSB port, we can rule them out. That means, the Chinese smartphone maker will probably debut the standard version in the series, which is exactly the same as Redmi Power Bank in terms of features but the USB Type-C port can be also used as output.

That said, we are not sure whether the company will launch the 10,000mAh, 20,000mAh or 30,000mAh version. Probably, they will bring the former two models as Mi Power Bank 3i 10,000mAh and Mi Power Bank 3i 20,000mAh for the same price (or slightly more) as its predecessors.

At a launch event in China on 24th September, along with the Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi MIX Alpha smartphones, Xiaomi also launched a few other products, including the Mi Power Bank 3 which comes with 50W Super Flash fast charging support.

Now today, the company has officially started selling the Mi Power Bank 3 50W Super Flash in China for a price of 299 Yuan which roughly converts to $42.

As the name itself implies, this new power bank is similar in several aspects to the Mi Power bank 3 and the only major difference is that it comes with support for 50W fast charging technology.

The power bank packs a 20,000mAh capacity battery and has a bulkier build with a dimension of 153.5 × 73.5 × 27.5 mm. The company said that it is compatible with most digital equipment and can charge three devices at the same time.

It features two USB-A ports and a USB-C port and there’s also a separate USB-C port for refuelling the power bank. Thanks to the USB Type-C port, the power bank isn’t limited to charging smartphone but can also charge MacBooks and Switch among other products.

Thanks to the support for 50W fast charging, it can fully charge the company’s flagship smartphone like Mi 9 Pro in just 48 minutes, thanks to 40W fast charging capability in the device. Xiaomi confirmed that the Redmi Note 8 Pro can be fully charged 2.8 times while the Redmi K20 Pro can be fully charged 3.5 times.

As said, the Mi Power Bank 3 50W Fast Charge version is now available for purchase in China carrying a price tag of 299 Yuan, which roughly converts to $42. Currently, there’s no information available about the device’s availability in other markets.

While Xiaomi’s budget smartphones are dominating the emerging markets, the Chinese company’s accessories are also equally popular. Among the most popular accessories from Xiaomi is the Mi Power Banks.

Xiaomi now claims that it has managed to sell over 100 million units of its Mi Power Banks till date. The sale numbers are likely the combination of the sale of the company’s power banks worldwide. Also, this likely includes the sales numbers of Mi Power Bank, Mi Power Bank 2, Mi Power Bank 2S, and ZMI Auro series.

The announcement comes along with the launch of the company’s third-generation of power banks — Mi Power Bank 3 Pro which comes with 20,000mAh capacity, USB Type-C 45W dual charging support, and 199 Yuan ($29) price tag, which goes on sale from 11th January.

The newly launched power bank comes with three ports in total as opposed to the two ports found on the 10000mAh Mi Powerbank 2 Pro model. There are two USB-A ports along with a USB Type-C port. The Type-C port can take 45W (15V/3A) input as well as output, while the USB-A ports max out at 18W.

It can charge a number of devices, including laptops and handheld gaming consoles. Through its Type-C port, it can charge Apple MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models as well as Huawei’s MateBook models, among others.

Xiaomi has clarified that when both the USB-A ports are in use, the output is maxed out at 15W each (5V/3A). As it also supports pass-through charging, other devices can be charged at a time when the power bank itself is being charged. Xiaomi adds that the 11 hour charging time for the power bank goes down to just 4.5 hours with a 45W charger.
