xiaomi's powerbank is still the best in my opinion. they have not made any online sales for quite some time, so be careful if you are purchasing from a 3rd party. there are links that show how to differentiate the fake ones.

That's the problem today. Charging with low quality fake powerbank could be dangerous.

Is reputable brand like sanyo, panasonic, philips or samsung powerbank too expesive that people go for this fake powerbank? Those may have low mAh but it may charge the same mAh as bigger (claimed)20000 powerbank.

Xiaomi becomes expensive nowadays. Do you think still worth it? Price increased. Shipping also expensive.

93% conversion efficiency, I still think it worth it. Somemore with all those smart chip to monitor your heat and current inside.

I guess till now no better alternative to xiaomi in price nad performance, safety ratio?
My friend used pineng powerbank many time during last flood, and his phone battery got problem. He says original pineng. So really need to be careful with powerbank especially circuit protection.

Do xiaomi official site always have sale with discount for powerbank? I don't really need it now. Would love to buy when it have sale but seems unlikely?


Do you think it is easier to carry the 10400 or 5200? 5200 is much slimmer but much taller compared to 10400. Which are more pocketable you think?

Now if it also have small emergency led flashlight like some other powerbank it would be cool.

Chill mate. I just bought all three & don't really mind the money spent. Plus, I didn't even expressed any regret whatsoever. Now I'm just waiting for those to be delivered & start using it  biggrin.gif

Wah. So rich! Hehe

Before they have family bundle 3 type powerbank for 149. But it says sold out. I guess xiami main harga.

what phone you use? I got note 3 don't know how good the 5000 version for charging the 3200 battery

Since you bought all 3 what do you think of their size? Which pocketable? In picture 5000 is slim but a bit long?

Do you think 10400 as pocketable as 5000?

Hi FYI,

The 5000mAH is the most portable as it's the lightest among the two and can only charge your device probably 1x.
The 10400mAH is at medium weight probably can charge your device 2x or more. It's portable if you put it in your pocket but you will feel the weight.
The 16000mAH is the beast, recommended to get it if your device is power hungry or you need its power. You need to considered it's power vs weight of this device. Maybe for road user or if you travel a lot.

Yeah I missed that bundle. I haven't received those PBs yet. Delay due to CNY holiday. Guess your questions have been answered by Kennobi.  smile.gif

I bought all three because my wife is going to use those too & usability would depends on situation & where I'm going also.

Btw, I'm using Nexus 5.

Now using otterbox cases. I have spare battery but such a hassle to remove the casing. So definitely going to get powerbank. Might as well get the 10400 thicker and wider but shorter a bit with more juice. Two times heavier though.
May be more useful can charge note 8 also. 16000 is great but too big.

My wife is using a brand I can't search in the net, proda powerbank. got it when buy the phone but dunno if it's ok. plan to buy two one for me one for my wife but RM98 still have to pay shipping. Need to find someone who want to share buy also.

Some copycat. Though I rather that those powerbank are plastic rather than aluminum. Easy to scratch other things if put same pocket. Good heat dissipation though
