Last year, ZMI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xiaomi, was renamed Cuktech due to legal issues. For the unaware, this company is the maker of power accessories sold by Xiaomi.

ZMI is also known for its own lineup of power banks and chargers. Ahead of the Chinese New Year, the brand has launched special editions of two of its products.

Cuktech 10 Power Bank and Cuktech Ultra-thin GaN Charger now come in gold color options in China. These new variants have the text ‘2024’ embossed on them.

The battery pack is priced at ¥249 (~$35), whereas the charger costs ¥169 (~$25). Both of them are up for sale on JD (Jingdong).

Apart from color, there’s no difference between the special edition and regular variant.

The Cuktech 10 Power Bank has a 10,000mAh battery capacity. It looks like a chocolate bar measuring 143 x 45 x 33.4 mm in dimensions. It weighs about 287g.

The accessory has a built-in TFT LCD color screen. This display shows power, voltage, current, and other parameters in real time.

The battery pack has a USB Type-C port that supports up to 120W output and 90W input. There’s also a USB Type-A port with 33W output support. Both ports have a combined output capacity of 150W.

The power bank supports popular charging standards, such as USB PD (Power Delivery) 3.0, PPS (Programmable Power Supply), QC (Qualcomm Quick Charge), FCP (HiSilicon Fast Charging Protocol), UFCS (Universal Fast Charging Specification), and others.

On the other hand, the Cuktech Ultra-thin GaN Charger has a foldable pin. It supports up to 65W output and features dual USB Type-C ports.

It also supports widely used charging standards, like USB PD 3.0, QC, and AFC (Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging) to name a few.

ZMI has just offered an official statement to clarify the ongoing rumors that have claimed that it will be ceasing its operations. The company denied these rumors and said that it will continue to operate under the ZMI brand.

Looking at the official statement, the Chinese brand has stated that the ZMI brand will continue to exist and develop new products. Furthermore, it said that any remarks or rumors that hint at the brand suspending its operations is false. The company also added that it will continue to provide all of its loyal customers with high value and high quality products along with long term stable after sales services.

This statement was shared on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website) where it thanked its fans for their concern and hoped that future rumors will not be believed. For those unaware, there were some rumors online that were being shared that claimed that the company has seen a massive restructuring following an acquisition. Reportedly, the brand had been purchased by Xiaomi Corp and the turn over had ZMI lay off around 80 percent of its staff.

The rumor also claimed that there were only some technicians left who were then merged into Xiaomi’s smart wearable department while others were incorporated into the various other departments in the Chinese tech giant. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Last year, two Xiaomi-backed companies (ZMI and Jisu Life) launched portable fans to beat the heat in summer. A year later, ZMI is back with another such product with a unique design. The company calls this ‘ZMI Hanging Neck Folding Fan’ (translated).

The new ZMI portable fan is different than the model released last year. As the name suggests, this fan can be folded to position it as per requirement. But the main highlight is that it can be worn around the neck with the help of the included adjustable nylon lanyard.

According to the company, the fan can be adjusted from 0° to 120°. Further, other than coming in three colors (White, Pink, Green), the fan blades also feature RGB LED light. The lighting effect can be changed via a dedicated button on the side.

Earlier today (16th April 2021), ZMI announced that its PurPods Pro truly wireless earbuds will soon arrive in a new color variant. The earphones will now be available in Black and will be launched on 27th April 2021.

Talking about the earphones, the PurPods Pro offers 35dB noise reduction depth through its dual ANC (active noise cancellation) feature. These earbuds also have three mics for call noise reduction as well.

The acquisition comes at a cost of $205 million. Prior to this, Xiaomi already owned 49.91 percent equity in Zimi. With this latest transaction, Zimi becomes the wholly-owned subsidiary of Xiaomi.

Making the announcement, Xiaomi said that the company believes that Zimi’s technology, as well as Research & Development capabilities in the power supply and multiple IoT fields, can improve Xiaomi’s technical competitiveness in the smart field, and achieve product power standardization to save costs.

During 2014 and 2018, the cumulative sales of Xiaomi’s mobile power supply exceeded 100 million units. Zimi has its own lineup in the form of ZMI and the company says that it is committed to high-end smartphone accessories, including chargers, wireless chargers, data cables, smart home appliances, and more.

Zimi was established in the year 2012 as Jiangsu Zimi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., and in the year 2013, it became a member of the Xioami industrial ecology chain.

Earlier this week, Xiaomi launched Mi GaN Charger Type-C 33W in its home country China in a single white color option. A few days later, ZMI has also released the same product but in black color. It is called ZMI 33W GaN Charger Mini and is also priced at ¥79 ($12), just like the Mi-branded charger.

For those unaware, ZMI is one of the members of the Xiaomi ecological chain. The company is known for manufacturing power banks and chargers for Xiaomi. Hence, it is not surprising to see the same charger being sold with both ZMI and Mi brandings.

Although the two chargers are identical in terms of specs as well as price, they differ by appearance. The Xiaomi model features a glossy finish with white color paintjob and ‘Xiaomi 33W’ writing on one of the sides. On the other hand, the ZMI product has a dual-tone (glossy, matte) black color finish with a ‘33W’ text.

Talking about specifications, the ZMI 33W GaN Charger Mini with model number HA715 supports up to 33W output. It features a USB Type-C port and also ships with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable.

The charger is compatible with all smartphones and tablets, including iPhones as well as iPads. As the name suggests, it uses GaN (Gallium Nitride) instead of silicon, and therefore, it is smaller than regular chargers with an identical maximum output rate.

Last but not least, the new ZMI charger measures 30.4 x 30.4 x 34mm in dimensions and weighs 50g.

Earlier this month, ZMI launched a 25,000mAh power bank in China called ZMI No. 20. Now, the company is crowdfunding this product on Indiegogo for only $99 with a different name – ZMI PowerPack No. 20. The main highlight of this battery pack is that it can support up to 210W output at once via its three output ports.

As of writing this article, the ZMI PowePack No. 20 power bank has already reached its crowdfunding goal. It should start shipping to backers from March. Also, the first 200 backers will be getting a ZMI lightning cable for free. That said, you can still back the product now but its price will be increased soon.

Earlier today (14th January 2021), the ZMI officially announced its PurPods true wireless earbuds. The new wireless earphones have been launched in China and will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, January 15.

Back in October 2020, ZMI had launched its PurPods Pro TWS earphones. These earbuds featured dual ANC (active noise cancelation) and were priced at 399 Yuan (roughly 61 US Dollars). Now, the Chinese company has launched the base PurPods, which are more affordable than their high end variant but lack the noise cancelling feature. In other words, we can expect the new wireless earphones to arrive with specifications similar to the premium variant.

The holidays are over and work is expected to resume in earnest. For the tech industry, manufacturers should begin to announce dates for the launch of new products.

Xiaomi is one of those who has a launch scheduled for the first work week of the year and it is for the Indian-exclusive Mi 10i smartphone.

Alongside Xiaomi, Samsung also has an event scheduled for the first week in January. The Korean Giant has an event on Wednesday, January 6 which has been reported to be an early CES 2021 event.

Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company ZMI is gaining popularity for its wide range of charging solutions. The company’s products include superfast power banks, wired chargers, wireless chargers, as well as car chargers. The brand even launched its first TWS noise-canceling headphones in China.  In October last year, the brand launched the No. 20 Powerbank Pro with a massive 25000mAh battery capacity and up to 200W output. The Chinese company has now released a poster announcing that the power bank will be launched for sale on January 6, 2021.

The ZMI No. 20 Mobile Power bank is a successor to the No. 10 Mobile power bank which was launched towards the end of 2016 with 45W power output. This model has been upgraded from 45W to a staggering 200W. The Mi 10 Pro Extreme Commemorative Edition was launched last year with support for 120W fast charging something Xiaomi didn’t replicate on the Mi 11. Thus, the power bank happens to be the only one globally which supports up to 120W fast charging.

In terms of design, there is an LED screen on the side of the mobile power bank which can display real-time power. There are two USB-C ports on the top, one supports 100W, and the other supports 45W, which can charge almost all notebooks with Type-C ports on the market. There is also a USB-A port with 120W output, and the total output power of the three ports can reach 200W. At the same time, it supports 65W self-charging and can be filled within 2 hours if it goes flat.

The 25000mAh battery capacity is yet another interesting feature of the No. 20 Powerbank Pro. ZMI touts the big battery as capable of charging the iPhone SE 2020 from zero to full charge eight solid times and the MacBook Pro 1.3 times.

It is also intelligently compatible with smart devices such as mobile phones of different brands. It can also charge low-current devices such as Bluetooth headsets and fitness bands. Further, the device is equipped with an LED light which can be used a torchlight.

The device uses high-quality lithium-ion batteries to provide multiple circuit protection but it should be noted that the hand warmer and the mobile power bank functions cannot be turned on at the same time for safety purpose.

As you probably already know, Apple decided to remove the charging adapter from the iPhone 12 retail box in a bid to help in conserving the planet. The “gesture” was even extended to the older models like the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2020. This decision no doubt created a market lucrative market for third-party accessories manufacturers. Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company ZMI has taken advantage of this by launching a Power Delivery (PD) adapter for the iPhone 12.

The ZMI PD adapter comes with support for 20W fast charging. As you would recall, the the iPhone 12 will ship with a USB-C to lightning cable. Thus, the adapter utilises a USB-C output port.

Apple is selling a 20W charging adapter separately which costs 149 yuan (~$22). However, the ZMI USB-C Fast Charger 20W is on presale for just 39 yuan (~$5).

ZMI USB-C fast charger 20W is compatible with PD3.0/QC3.0/FCP fast charging protocol and can provide 20W fast charging for iPhone 12, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Huawei Mate30 series.

Xiaomi-owned Zimi Corporation is the manufacturer behind the popular ZMI brand of charging accessories such as power banks, cables, and chargers. Today, the company took to Weibo to announce the date for its annual Autumn product launch.

As revealed by the Weibo post, the event has been set for Thursday, October 15 in Nanjing and will begin at 14:00 hrs. The post also includes a large poster that shows three quadrilaterals with purple light shining through them.

A text on the poster reads “Listen To The Future” which hints at the possible launch of an audio-related product, probably a smart speaker of some sort.

At the moment, Zimi has two audio products – the ZMI Smart Alarm Clock Speaker that was announced back in 2019 and the ZMI Wireless Charging Bluetooth Speaker that can pass for a 3rd-gen Amazon Echo Dot. So another speaker wouldn’t be surprising.

Anyway, the launch is in a few days, so we might as well just wait for the device to be unveiled rather than trying to figure out what it is.

This model comes in a short cylindrical shape similar to Amazon Echo Dot, whereas the expensive model comes in a rectangular form. It features Bluetooth 5.0 to connect with smartphones and other products to output 360-degree audio from its 5W speaker unit. Though it lacks NFC from the previous model, it comes with a ring of RGB LED lights on the top which can be customized as well as controlled by using the Xiaomi Home app.

There is also the gorgeous PowerPack 20K Pro power bank which also supports 65W fast charging. Now, they are back with the zPower 30W dual-USB charger that costs less than $10.

The charger has a similar design to its 65W USB-C charger – a two-tone matte and gloss finish. It is also pretty small too; 28% smaller than Apple’s own 30W charger.

The ports are on the top – a USB Type-C port and a full-sized USB port. The USB-C port has a maximum power output of 30W while the USB-A port has a maximum power output of 27W. If you use both ports at the same time, you get a maximum power output of 24W combined.

A few weeks ago, ZMI released a 65W USB-C charger that is not only half the size of Apple’s 61W USB-C Power Adapter but also sells for less than one-third its price. The manufacturer is back with a new product – the ZMI PowerPack 20K Pro (ZMI 10 Pro in China) Power Bank which not only supports 65W output charging but also has a pretty cool trick.

Before we dive into the specs of the ZMI PowerPack 20K Pro power bank, let’s talk about its design.

Personally, this might as well be the most beautiful power bank I have come across in a while. Unlike most power banks that are available in white or black, ZMI’s latest portable battery pack comes in blue with a touch of gold for the power button, manufacturer’s name, and the technical details on the back.

The ZMI PowerPack 20K Pro is not just a beauty but also a beast. It has a battery capacity of 20,000mAh which means it is on the thick side (21 millimeters) and also heavy (440 grams). But with what it offers, you shouldn’t be bothered about its weight.

The power bank has a maximum power output of 65W (USB-C PD) which means it will charge compatible computers that require up to 65W charging. It will also charge other devices like the Nintendo Switch, the iPad Pro, and the Mi 9. But that is not all it has to offer.

The ZMI PowerPack 20K Pro also doubles as a USB Hub which means you can connect it to your PC and plug in other USB devices such as a USB-keyboard, mouse, a thumb drive or portable hard drive to it.
