Xiaomi’s new 6mm UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is so thin you might forget you’re carrying it

We have a complicated relationship with battery. For years, we’ve been locked in a silent compromise. We demand smartphones that are thinner, lighter, and more elegant, yet we carry the guilt of battery anxiety. Our solution? The portable power bank. But let’s be honest: for all their utility, traditional power banks are a burden. They are the bulky bricks we throw into a bag, tethered to our phones by a cable, ruining the sleek, unibody aesthetic we pay a premium for. We’ve spent the last week living with a device that feels less like an accessory and more like a liberation from that compromise: the new Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 . At first glance, the specs seem too good to be true. A 6mm thin profile? 98 grams light? 15W wireless charging? It sounds like marketing hype. But after putting it through the real-life tests, from cramped coffee shop tables to day-to-day use, I’d like to share with you the things that you should know about it. How Xiaomi made it s...

Apart from the Ultra, an OPPO executive in China confirmed on Weibo that they will also launch the Find X9s Pro next month. More importantly, the Chinese launch will not be far from the global release.

An official teaser from OPPO reveals a distinct orange button, which we expect to be dedicated to the camera features.

Rumor has it that the Ultra will have a circular camera island, which will consist of two — yes, two — 200-megapixel sensors. There’s one for the wide and one for the periscope telephoto.

There’s also another 10x telephoto lens with a 50-megapixel sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide. In fact, OPPO’s Instagram page teased that the Find X9 Ultra has a “built-in teleconverter”.

They will have Hasselblad technology, of course.

As expected, it will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It is also rumored to have a big 7,050mAh battery, 100W fast charging support, and a 144Hz 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED screen.
