Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W review

The Xiaomi MDY-20-EB, commonly known by its product name Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W, is exactly what its overly long title suggests. It’s an ultra-thin power bank that attaches magnetically to your phone, has a 5000mAh capacity, and can provide up to 15W of power wirelessly. The product was globally announced back in February and has been available in select markets, but was recently also launched in India, along with a couple of other models, like the Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 10000 45W.

The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W is priced in India at INR… The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W is priced in India at INR 5,999, which is higher than the INR 3,999 for the 10000 45W model, and even the INR 5,499 for the 20000 165W model. Clearly, you will be expected to pay a premium for the size and convenience.

Design and specifications The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W, henceforth referred to as just the Xiaomi 5000 15W, is incredibly compact. It’s 98.5mm tall and 71.5mm wide, about the size of a playing card. The width is right up there with the width of most non-Max/Ultra models of flagship phones, so you don’t feel the power bank sticking out the sides.
