CORRECTED: IPMart Offers Mi Powerbank lookalike in various colours

Update: It looks like we’ve been deceived. The powerbank offered by IPMart looks exactly like the Mi Powerbank but it almost certainly is not. Initially, we had been led to believe that it is from Xiaomi because the link provided by IPMart via its Facebook page — the same one we used in this post — had included the Xiaomi Mi 10400 Powerbank name. IPMart have since edited their Facebook page and removed the name.

Currently Xiaomi deals direct with customers via its online store or through operators which means you can only get Xiaomi products either from their website or from telcos. Xiaomi products purchased from other sellers are very likely grey imports or in the case of the powerbank from IPMart, is likely to be imitation. So make sure you know what you’re getting before you make the purchase.
