Performance

I tested the Mi 50W Power Bank’s charging capabilities extensively. Charging my MacBook Pro via the Type-C port was surprisingly quick; significantly faster than with lower-wattage power banks. The Nintendo Switch also charged rapidly, allowing me to continue gaming sessions without interruption. I also tested charging several smartphones and tablets simultaneously, and the power bank handled the load without issue. The battery life itself was impressive, lasting considerably longer than advertised. I managed to fully charge my phone numerous times before needing to recharge the power bank itself. However, I did notice slightly slower charging speeds when using both the Type-C and USB ports simultaneously, which is expected.

The build quality is excellent. The ceramic-like finish is not only visually appealing but also feels durable and resistant to scratches. The power bank feels substantial and well-built, instilling confidence in its longevity.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Fast charging via Type-C port, high capacity, sleek design, durable build, excellent battery life.
  • Cons: Slightly slower charging when using both ports simultaneously, The included cable could be slightly longer.

Final Verdict

The Mi 50W Power Bank (BHR5121GL) is a fantastic power bank. Its high capacity, fast charging capabilities, and durable build make it a valuable addition to any tech enthusiast’s arsenal. While there are minor drawbacks, they don’t significantly detract from the overall exceptional performance. I highly recommend this power bank to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful solution for keeping their devices charged on the go. If you need a power bank that can handle high-power devices efficiently, this is a top contender.
