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 US$ 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 US$ 42. Currently, there’s no information available about the
device’s availability in other markets.
