Tired of your phone dying at the worst possible moment? Finding a sleek, powerful battery bank that doesn't feel like a brick is a constant struggle for Pixel 10 owners. But Baseus might have cracked the code with their new PicoGo AM52, a 10,000 mAh Qi2 battery bank designed for both power and portability.
This isn't Baseus's first rodeo. They already offer a 10,000 mAh Qi2 power bank, which is a solid choice. The beauty of Qi2 is the magnetic alignment, making wireless charging more convenient. However, wireless charging inherently loses some power during the process. That's why a 10,000 mAh power bank is ideal for keeping your modern smartphone topped up.
But here's where it gets interesting: the PicoGo AM52 aims to strike the perfect balance. It measures a mere 0.63 inches thick, a hair thinner than its predecessor. This seemingly small difference, combined with a rounded design, makes a world of difference. It's designed to feel like a thicker phone, not a bulky add-on. The matte aluminum casing adds a premium touch, and it fits perfectly on the back of the Pixel 10 without any overhang.
While it doesn't have a built-in USB-C cable (unlike some other magnetic power banks), the USB-C port supports 45W output (and input) when used with a cable. This means you can charge your Pixel 10 Pro XL or even some iPhones at Qi2 25W speeds, at least for a while.
Baseus technically has an even thinner 10,000 mAh battery bank, but it compromises on charging speeds, both wireless and wired. The PicoGo AM52 seems to be the first to offer a balance of power and portability without major drawbacks.
The author is excited to put this battery bank through its paces at CES 2026.
Baseus hasn't announced the launch price yet, but keep an eye out for updates in the coming weeks.
But wait, there's more! At CES 2026, Baseus is also launching several other innovative charging solutions: the Nomos NH21 6-in-1 Desktop Charging Station (boasting a Qi2 pedestal and a whopping 245W power output), the AC22 Ultra Mini battery bank (about the size of an earbuds case), and two new battery banks with built-in displays to show power output.
