One of Xiaomi’s competitive advantages in the consumer electronics ecosystem is its enormous capacity to create new products. In Europe this is not yet the case, but in China every few days a new smartphone, home appliance, vehicle accessory, smartphone accessory, etc. is announced.
The last of these is the Xiaomi 25000 212W Power Bank, thus competing with the Anker model, a high-end external battery that promises to save us more than one annoyance. Of course, the name is quite strange, because normally the numbers included in it are part of the characteristics of the product itself, but this is not the case.
Although the number 25,000 appears there, The net battery capacity is 14,000 mAha not insignificant figure, but far from what one might imagine when seeing the nomenclature for the first time. Of course, the second number is real. It is the combined power of all your charging ports.
This power is distributed over two USB-C ports and one USB-A port which, working at the same time, can reach 65W + 27W + 120W. If we use only two, we can reach 65W + 120W and if we use only the main one with Power Delivery 3.1 technology, the peak power increases to 140W. If we use the secondary, we would stay at 45W maximum and the USB-A port It will still give a maximum of 27W. In addition, this battery not only allows you to charge the best Xiaomi phones in a few minutes, but it is compatible with the technologies QuickCharge 3.0, Samsung AFC, Huawei FCP and Apple 2.4A
But it is possible that The most striking aspect of the battery is its design. It has a transparent front that is reminiscent of Nothing’s mobiles. You can see internal elements, as well as a screen which gives us information about what is happening with the charge of the different devices that we have connected. The other three remaining sides have a black finish.
For now, this battery will be on sale in China through Xiaomi’s crowdfunding platform, called Youpin, in which it indicates a price of 499 yuan, or about 70 dollars in exchange. It is not a low price, but considering the battery performance, it is not expensive at all. We will have to wait and see if it reaches more countries, such as Europe.
