I test power banks for a living - this is the thinnest Qi2 charger I've tried

BMX has released the SolidSafe Air, marketed as the world's thinnest 5,000 mAh Qi2 wireless power bank. The device, which won multiple awards at CES 2026, measures a mere 0.27 inches (6.8 mm) thick—about the width of seven standard credit cards stacked together. This ultra-slim profile directly addresses a common pain point with MagSafe accessories: excessive bulk that makes large smartphones unwieldy to hold. The power bank shifts the preference from high-capacity 10,000-20,000 mAh packs back to more convenient 5,000 mAh units that users are more likely to carry daily.

The SolidSafe Air's key innovation is its semi-solid-state battery technology, which BMX claims is safer and less flammable than conventional lithium-ion batteries, addressing growing consumer concerns about battery safety. Priced at $60, it positions itself as a premium, compact charging solution for professionals and travelers prioritizing portability. While the cost is higher than many standard power banks, the combination of an award-winning ultra-thin design, the new Qi2 wireless standard for faster charging, and advanced battery chemistry presents a compelling case for users tired of bulky accessories. Its launch signals a continued trend in mobile tech toward minimizing form factor without sacrificing core functionality or safety.
