        Maybe its because it was the very first model, launched some 8 yrs ago?

        Nowadays maybe they reduced it?

          Sam N8 808 owner, 04 Jul 2024I can answer that. Actually, there are multiple reasons: ... moreOnly the price aspect makes sense. The circuit inside is pretty small and thin.

              @GSMA staff: Please add in the article for people's information, the lady brand ambassador shown in the picture is "Nora Fatehi", a very famous celebrity dancer in India. Thanks a lot.

                Oo, 04 Jul 2024Even the pocket powerbank is too thick. Why dont they just ... moreI can answer that. Actually, there are multiple reasons:

                1. Phone batteries are more expensive with higher output per gram,
                2. when you open a powerbank you see additional circuitry, including but not limited to overcharge protection, short circuit protection (if some kid plugs its charging USB to getting charged USB), overheat protection, etc then there's also a special mode for low power devices like smartwatches and all, which is 5V/1A.
                Its DC to DC converter also occupies space.
                After fast charging era, there're additional implementations for different charging voltages depending on current charge (a phone charges faster, at higher voltage when it is at 10% battery, than it does at 90%).

                I'd love to get myself a powerbank, the problem is, the very first Mi 20,000 mah powerbank that I had isn't showing signs of dying, its still working after 7 or so years, and its not a phone you can get bored of...
                The other 5000 mah one that I had died due to water impact, and I opened it, and it was about 60-70% battery + space around the battery, while 30-40% included wires, chip/ circuitry, etc. Hope this helps.

                  That lady is the famous Indian dancer "Nora Fatehi", and she's famous with the youth here. She's a big celebrity here. You're free to google her.
                  And in my opinion, choosing a dancer to sell music products isn't a taboo...

                  Now, GSMA is based somewhere in Europe so they didn't mention Nora, but we the Indians know.

                    Even the pocket powerbank is too thick. Why dont they just put phone batteries together to make a powerbank..?

                      Where is the Redmi Pad Pro?? Months it has received BIS certification but no launch date yet.

                        DeepIn2U, 04 Jul 2024Why thr HELL does a company need a woman to.sell portable b... moreBecause they perhaps target women with some accessories like the powerbank with the built in cable ?
                        I wonder how Buds 5C perfom and what will be the price of both powerbank, hoping availibility in Europe too!
                        The 4i is just a colored edition of the PowerBank 3 btw, that launched in midnight blue and black, still have the blue at home, and finally after 9 years (nearly 10), my Power Bank 10k USB C from Xiaomi (The first one that supported Fast charge via USB C) have started to inflate. It's not safe anymore to charge/discharge I feel. The metal body is still in mint condition though, I had a leather case from Xiaomi ... At the times accessories were peak and cheap with very good quality. The debut ... I miss thoses days.

                          DeepIn2U, 04 Jul 2024Why thr HELL does a company need a woman to.sell portable b... moreWould you have preferred a black guy instead?
                          I wonder about the specs for the buds, will they be better than the Redmi buds 5?

                            Why thr HELL does a company need a woman to.sell portable battery pack? Much worse is the Kardashian wanna be lookalike model which doesn't even resonate with the people Xiaomi is trying to sell to!! ?
