Gadget Review: MI 10400 mAh Power Bank

I don't have to tell you the woes of being a smartphone owner in today’s world. Its a blessing, no doubt, but you kind of end up wishing that the blessing came with a longer lasting battery. ;-)

I own a Samsung Note since a couple of years and even though it has been rendered outdated by its successor models, I love the little beast. It gets stuff done, keeps me connected and doesn't trouble me as much as you’d think it would.

But like all smartphones, its batteries give me a lot of trouble now that I have started travelling so much. And no, I won't carry a spare basic phone. Two phones, two numbers is just not my thing.

Hence, a power bank. Like all guys my age, I too love gadgets and research them online as much as possible before I go for a buy. And after a lot of research, I moved my crosshair on this device: MI 10400 mAh Power Bank.

Its from the Chinese Smartphone Giant, Xiaomi. You know the MI3 guys. Remember the hype? Their products are hyped so much because they are quality stuff at really low prices. We hear “low prices” and “China”, and we write the products off as low quality, but thats not the case with Xiaomi. Their prices are low and there’s a good reason behind it. I will not get into that now.

Anyways coming back to the Power Bank:-

Name: MI Power Bank

Power Capacity: 10400 mAh

Build: Tough; Aluminum Body

Price: INR 999/-

The kind of power and build it offers at such a reasonable price, you just can’t ignore it. And the device is actually awesome once you start using it. It doesn't heat up much. Its compact as hell and it charges my phone 4 times at a go i.e. it gets the job done.

By far, a good investment. I’d say, “GO FOR IT!!“
