Detailed overview: Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 10000mAh 22.5W power bank
The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 (Ultra Compact version) is one of the best-selling power banks in the world, and for good reason. It combines a 10000mAh capacity, 22.5W fast charging and a genuinely compact body, all at a price that makes it accessible to everyone. It is the all-round top-up power bank par excellence, so your smartphone never runs flat.
It has 3 ports: two USB-A and one bidirectional USB-C. You can therefore charge two devices at once, and the USB-C port both charges your devices and recharges the bank itself. Its 22.5W power allows fast charging compatible with most recent smartphones, far quicker than entry-level banks limited to 10 or 15W.
On the design side, it focuses on sturdiness and restraint: a well-finished body, a weight of about 200 g and a footprint that slips into a pocket or a small bag. Its 10000mAh capacity charges a smartphone about twice, enough to cover a weekend or a long day on the move without access to a socket.
Its limits are those of its top-up positioning: it has no display showing the exact percentage, and its 22.5W power is meant for phones, tablets and small devices, not for charging a demanding laptop. But for a reliable, compact and truly affordable power bank, the Mi Power Bank 3 remains an essential benchmark.
Comparison
How does the Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 compare with rival compact power banks?
| Model | Capacity | Power | Ports | Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 | 10000mAh | 22.5W | 2 USB-A + USB-C | Low price |
| Anker 335 PowerCore | 10000mAh | 20W | 1 USB-A + USB-C | Reliability |
| Ugreen 10000mAh | 10000mAh | 20W | USB-A + USB-C | Compact |
At equal capacity, the Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 stands out for its slightly higher power (22.5W), its third port and above all its unbeatable price. The Anker 335 relies on the brand's reputation for reliability, the Ugreen on compactness, but for pure value, the Xiaomi is hard to beat.

Our tester's review: Guillaume Hoarau
The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 is a bit of the default power bank, the one you recommend without a second thought for everyday use. Under 20 euros, it offers 10000mAh in a pocketable body, and its 22.5W fast charging tops up a smartphone far faster than old entry-level banks. We like its 3 ports, which let you plug in two devices at once, and the bidirectional USB-C port that also recharges it. The body is well finished for the price. In real use, it fills a smartphone about twice, enough for a weekend. The downsides are minor: no precise display, and power suited to phones and small devices, not laptops. But for reliable, affordable top-ups, it is hard to do better.
