Xiaomi, referred to as “China’s Apple” by some people, and apparently some blogs, made headlines a just a few months ago this year. AFAIK, it started from the time they released the Mi 3 smartphone. Much of the buzz about this new brand is mostly about that phone. In a nutshell, the Mi 3, as I’d like to describe it, is an affordable Android smartphone with features and specs as good as a premium-branded smartphone out in the market right now. Affordable because it only costs less than PHP 11,000. (As far as my backstory about the Mi 3 goes, this is only the extent of my knowledge about that phone.. moving on!)

That’s nice and all but I wasn’t looking for a new smartphone at the moment because I am very much contented w/ my iPhone 5S. However, I am looking for a more handy and easy to carry around powerbank. Something I could bring with me when I’m outside for a shorter time. I use my phone a lot when I’m out and about, especially 3G (mobile data).. thus the need for extra battery power. This is where the Mi powerbank comes in. 

After months and months of looking around online and researching which powerbank to get, I finally found the perfect one for my needs! From the generic China brands, to ones w/ known brand names, to high-end brands, I chose the Romoss Sailing series powerbank. Ain’t she a beauty? Haha

First of all, I am very picky when it comes to things like these. I did not want to keep buying and trying different types of it until I happen to luckily purchase the one that fits my needs.. it would be a waste to have all sorts of smaller-capacity powerbanks, don’t you think? So I picked the one that at least has more capacity than the first powerbank I had (which I sold after). Couldn’t be more happier with my purchase. 🙂 More photos under the cut!
