Xiaomi Mi Power Banks up for pre-order on Flipkart; to go on sale next week

[mmadhankumar]

The much-awaited Mi Power Banks are now up for pre-order on Flipkart.com. The powerbanks will come in two models - 10400mAh for Rs 999 and 5200mAh for Rs 799. The website lists 5th week of August as the estimated release date.

Clearing the confusion whether the Xiaomi power banks would also require pre-registration like the much-discussed Xiaomi Mi 3 smartphone, Manu Jain, Xiaomi's India head, during a conversation with IBNLive, said that because the power banks are categorised as accessories, they would be directly available on sale and prospective buyers would not need to go through any registration process.

Though there are other online websites selling the Xiaomi Power Banks, the company is officially making them available via Flipkart, Xiaomi's exclusive partner, in India.

The Mi power banks have a textured anodised aluminium casing that cover the entire battery from end-to-end. They have a metallic finish, and are also water- and corrosion-resistant. According to Xiaomi, its 10400mAh variant can recharge "the Mi 3 for 2.5 full charges, the iPhone 5S for 4.5 full charges, and the iPad Mini for 1.5 charges."

Xiaomi entered the Indian market with its three new smartphones in an exclusive sales tie-up with Flipkart.
