When Xiaomi announced the Mi 9 back in February, it
also announced a couple of wireless charging products such as a 20W wireless
desk charger, a 20W wireless car charger, and a 10000mAh Wireless Power Bank.
Xiaomi has now announced a Youth Edition/Lite version of the wireless power
bank.
The Xiaomi 10000mAh Wireless Power Bank Youth
Edition like the name says has a 10000mAh capacity. It also supports 2-way 18W
wired fast charging and 10W wireless charging. You are definitely wondering
what has changed since these are the same features as that of the regular
version.
First, the Youth Edition now has a polycarbonate
body instead of an aluminum alloy metal casing like the standard edition. The
change in material means it is now lighter and less thick. Xiaomi says the
weight has reduced by 75 grams and thickness has reduced by 1.8 millimeters.
The power bank also comes in two color variants –
black and white, unlike the standard version that is only available in black.
Last but not least is the lower price tag at ¥ 129 (US$ 18), which is ¥ 20 (US$ 3)
less than the price of the standard version.
Other than these differences, you still get the same
experience and functionality such as Qi wireless charging, a full-sized USB
output port, and a USB Type-C port that doubles as both input and output port.
There are also four LEDs for battery level indication and a fifth LED for
wireless charging.
It will work with a variety of devices including the
iPhone XS, the Galaxy S9, and the Mi 9. It also has nine built-in protections
including foreign metal object detection. The Xiaomi 10000mAh Wireless
Power Bank Youth Edition is available for pre-order on the Youpin store and
will go on sale at 10 AM on September 12.
