Xiaomi's new magnetic power bank packs Qi2.2 wireless charging and a built-in cable
Xiaomi has announced the Magnetic Power Bank 10000 25W (Integrated Cable) 2027, a 10,000mAh portable charger that supports Qi2.2 wireless charging and skips the separate cable problem by building one directly into the unit. It launched in India on September 8, 2026, priced at ₹3,699 (roughly £35), though US and UK pricing and release dates remain unconfirmed. Based on Xiaomi's typical EU markup patterns, expect something closer to £45–£60 when it arrives in Western markets.
The wireless claim
The headline number is 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging, the latest revision of the open magnetic standard that Apple's MagSafe ecosystem is built on. Xiaomi's official product page confirms the spec, alongside a 13N magnetic attachment force — stronger than many competitors. The real-world example Xiaomi offers: an iPhone 17 Pro Max charges from 0 to 34% in about 30 minutes wirelessly. Worth noting: that result requires a 30W USB-C PD adapter, which isn't included. Android Qi2.2 support is currently limited to Samsung Galaxy S26 and Google Pixel 10 class flagships, so the audience here is heavily iPhone-skewed for now.
Wired is still faster
The integrated USB-C cable pushes up to 45W — a meaningful jump over the wireless option and useful when speed matters more than convenience. Plug in two devices simultaneously via both USB-C ports and each drops to 15W, which is adequate for overnight top-ups but not a sprint charge. Xiaomi lists compatibility going back to the Xiaomi 12 series, and multi-protocol support (QC 2.0, PD, PPS) means it should work with most modern Android phones too.
The hardware
Inside are two 5,000mAh cells totalling 37Wh — safely under the 100Wh IATA limit for carry-on luggage. The unit weighs 244g and measures 109 × 69 × 20mm, roughly the footprint of a large smartphone. A standard LED charge indicator sits on the body. Real-time temperature monitoring and automatic power regulation are built in, which matters for wireless charging sessions that can run warm.

What to expect
If you're comparing against existing Qi2.2 magnetic power banks, the main rivals in the UK and US are Belkin's BoostCharge Pro and Anker's MagGo range — both priced between £40 and £60. Xiaomi's India price suggests it could undercut them, but EU and UK launches typically add a significant premium. There's no confirmed UK or US retailer yet; Amazon is the most likely channel given Xiaomi's limited high-street presence. A Q4 2026 or early 2027 arrival is the realistic window. If you're in the market for a wireless charger now, it's worth checking tablets with wireless charging to gauge Qi2.2 compatibility across your devices before committing. For Xiaomi's broader software ecosystem direction, the company's HyperOS 4 rollout starts October 15 and covers many of the phones this power bank targets.
