Xiaomi Mi Power Bank with 20,000 mAh battery is also available during the flash sale.
Mi 20,000mAh Power bank: This is the highest capacity by Xiaomi and the company has managed to fit in higher capacity while keeping the weight of the device lighter than the 16000mAh power bank. Generally, smartphone cycles work on shorter timescales than this, but, if you believe the latest rumors, then an update to the Mi Note series is imminent. The power bank comes with two USB ports, allowing you to charge two different devices at the same time, and supports rapid charging that can charge the Power Bank to 11,000mAh in three hours and full charge in seven hours. It comes with 93% conversion rate which is quite impressive. Xiaomi is also unveiling 3 new accessories during the festival namely the LED Light Enhanced, 120cm Mi USB Cable and Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro costing Rs 249, Rs 149 and Rs 1399, respectively.
– Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro: Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro feature a hybrid balanced armature and dynamic driver for richer treble and deeper bass.
