Baseus has launched the PicoGo Air in China, and it’s making a strong case for being the slimmest companion your phone could ask for. At just 6.9mm thin, this magnetic power bank is designed for people who want the extra juice without the bulk.

The PicoGo Air packs a 5,000mAh rated capacity, which is enough to give your phone a solid top-up when you need it the most. It supports 15W magnetic wireless charging and 22.5W wired fast charging, which is good enough for a slim power bank like this one.

What makes it more than a slim power bank?

Slimness is not the only selling point of the Baseus power bank. According to Notebookcheck, one standout feature is PowerSense NFC. Tap your phone to the power bank, and the companion app will show you a detailed battery status. It’s a small touch, but it’s the kind of thing that makes you feel like you know how much charge you have left, instead of guessing from a blinking LED.

One challenge thin power banks face is heat management. Baseus is aiming to solve this problem with its Glacier Heat Dissipation Structure, paired with a VC heat sink and an aluminum alloy body. Together, they should help keep temperatures under control during charging. There’s also an adaptive temperature control feature to ensure your charging stays stable and safe.

Does it come with anything in the box?

Baseus bundles a short cable with the PicoGo Air that supports up to 60W fast charging, so you can use it with other power adapters. The power bank itself comes in three metallic finishes with an Apple-inspired curved design and strong built-in magnets.

The Baseus PicoGo Air is currently available in China for CNY 299, roughly $44. International availability has not been confirmed yet, but Baseus has a solid track record of bringing its PicoGo lineup to global markets, so you can expect it to arrive in the US in the coming months.

Vivo X300 FE review: The compact flagship I didn’t expect to like this much
The Vivo X300 FE is the Hawkeye of flagships. It doesn't have superpowers, but somehow gets the job done better than everyone else.
Vivo X300 FE

Why Hawkeye?

Hawkeye was never the strongest Avenger, nor did he have the flashiest suit or superpowers. Yet he consistently proved his worth through precision, reliability, and doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. The Vivo X300 FE follows the same philosophy. It doesn't chase outrageous specifications or marketing gimmicks. Instead, it quietly nails the essentials with a superb display, dependable performance, excellent cameras, and outstanding battery life. It may not grab all the headlines, but when it matters, it's the flagship that gets the job done.
