CIO Smartcoby Ex06 Power Bank Features Qi2 Wireless Charging Retractable Cable
Japanese Brand CIO Launches Smartcoby Ex06 With Built-In Cable Solution
Power banks have become essential travel companions for anyone carrying multiple devices, yet the persistent annoyance of forgetting a charging cable remains universal. Japanese accessory manufacturer CIO has tackled this organizational headache head-on with the Smartcoby Ex06, a 9,000 mAh portable battery that integrates Qi2.2 wireless charging alongside a cleverly engineered retractable USB-C cable. This combination means users can leave tangled cords at home while still enjoying fast, reliable power delivery for smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
Qi2.2 Certification Delivers 25 Watt Wireless Speeds
The standout feature of the Smartcoby Ex06 is its Qi2.2 certification, which unlocks up to 25 watts of wireless charging throughput. This represents a significant leap over the previous Qi standard capped at 15 watts, bringing wireless speeds closer to wired performance. Compatible devices include the iPhone 16 Pro series, which supports Apple MagSafe alignment for optimal coil positioning, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup that embraces the Qi2 profile. Even the Google Pixel 9 Pro benefits from the enhanced magnetic attachment and thermal management that Qi2.2 mandates, ensuring sustained output without overheating during extended charging sessions.
Retractable USB-C Cable Eliminates Cable Clutter
Beyond wireless convenience, the integrated retractable USB-C cable extends up to 30 centimeters and supports 60 watt Power Delivery 3.0. This means the Smartcoby Ex06 can fast-charge larger devices like the iPad Air M2 or a 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 at near-full speed when a physical connection is preferred. The cable retracts smoothly into the chassis with a gentle tug, locking at the desired length and releasing with another pull. This mechanical design withstands thousands of cycles, addressing durability concerns that plagued earlier retractable-cable power banks. For travelers carrying a mix of USB-C laptops and Lightning-equipped iPhones, the single-cable approach dramatically reduces bag clutter.
Compact Form Factor Packs 9,000 Milliampere-Hours
Despite its feature set, the Smartcoby Ex06 measures just 104 by 66 by 22 millimeters and weighs approximately 220 grams. The 9,000 mAh capacity delivers roughly two full charges for an iPhone 16 Pro or one-and-a-half cycles for a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Pass-through charging allows the power bank itself to recharge while simultaneously powering a connected device, a boon for overnight hotel stays with limited wall outlets. An LED indicator ring around the wireless pad displays remaining capacity in 25-percent increments, and a dedicated button activates low-current mode for safely charging Bluetooth earbuds like the AirPods Pro 2 or Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro without triggering auto-shutoff.
Safety Certifications And Global Availability
CIO has secured PSE, CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications for the Smartcoby Ex06, meeting stringent safety standards for lithium-ion batteries and electromagnetic compatibility. The housing uses flame-retardant polycarbonate with a matte finish that resists fingerprints and minor scratches. Pricing starts at 7,980 yen in Japan, with international rollout planned through Amazon and select electronics retailers across North America and Europe by late spring. For professionals juggling an iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 10, and iPad mini A17 Pro during commutes, the Smartcoby Ex06 presents a compelling all-in-one charging solution that finally makes good on the promise of cable-free mobility.
