The super-thin power bank that matches your phone: Baseus PicoGo Air

This story is sponsored by Baseus. PhoneArena's opinions in this article have not been affected in any way!

Now that Android phones are getting Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, and the MagSafe on iPhones has become faster, getting a magnetic power bank is becoming a viable option that everybody is looking at.

But there’s one thing that still has people holding back. Nobody wants a clunky, heavy power bank that awkwardly sticks to their phone and makes it about a bajillion times thicker for the duration of the charging.

Well, take a look at the super-slim

The Baseus PicoGo series was already impressive on launch. Power banks that had no right to be this small and lightweight while offering fast charging, large capacities, and multi-level overheating protection systems.

Well, the PicoGo Air, somehow, pushes that boundary further.

It’s incredibly thin at 0.27 inches (6.9 mm) — that’s actually slimmer than the iPhone Air. Meaning, you can slap it on your phone, any phone, and leave it in your pocket to charge up. The power bank will barely add any bulk or weight.



The shell is made of matte, soft-touch aluminum to keep up premium appearances, and the side that presses against the phone is covered in soft, non-slip silicon.

And that thin profile still holds 5,000 mAh of capacity. Plenty enough to juice you up and help you last the day when you are in a pinch.

The graphene tech inside and smart temperature control protection work in tandem to keep the charging process safe and at optimal speed and health.

When you have the time to sit down and do some more efficient charging, you can still use its USB port to hook up to your phone and charge up at up to 22.5 W. The bank itself charges with 20 W power.

It’s also a smart battery pack — the NFC chip inside it allows you to read all statistics and battery status in the Baseus app on your iPhone. With a tap, you can see battery status, cycles, health, temperature, and more relevant information.

Does it work for other phones and devices?

The magnet ring that was once only on MagSafe iPhones is now becoming a common occurrence — either found inside the Pixel 10 phones or added to Samsung phones via a case. That means you can still use the PicoGo Air to charge your Android phone wirelessly.

For faster charging, you can hook up any mobile device to the USB C port, too.

The PicoGo Air will also work for your contemporary AirPods case, which also supports MagSafe.

While the PicoGo Air is a slim and light everyday powerbank that you can always have in your work bag or the inside pocket of your coat, sometimes you need a bit more power.

The PicoGo AM52 doubles the capacity — it comes with 10,000 mAh to guarantee that you can go on that weekend trip and not worry about power outlets. Yet it still manages to stay compact and light — it only weighs 6.95 oz (197 g), which is lighter than an iPhone 17 Pro. Easy carry in any bag.

Want to use it for wireless charging? The strong magnets ensure a secure latch and proper alignment for optimal charging. Not just for MagSafe, but also Qi2.2 devices (like Pixel 10), which can pull up to 25 W of power wirelessly!

Or hook it up via the wire when you have some downtime and it will recharge your phone quickly.



It’s a more powerful cell, delivering power at up to 45 W. This is plenty enough to fast-charge a modern Android phone or iPhone. It’s actually enough to feed a small laptop (like a MacBook Air) some emergency fuel if the situation calls for it!

The NTC smart temperature control chip ensures real-time heat monitoring, a graphene inner layer and aluminum the alloy shell help with efficient heat dissipation.

The PicoGo AM52 comes in two variants, one with an integrated braided cable that doubles as a lanyard, and one without. The version with a cable is the more practical buy, as it ensures you will never forget an actual cable. It also allows you to connect two devices via a wire. But the cleaner variant is also available for those that want it.
