CIO Co., Ltd. has released the SMARTCOBY Ex05 Wireless2.2 Pro CABLE SS10K, a 10000mAh power bank that combines up to 25W wireless charging via Qi2.2 with up to 35W wired charging through a built-in USB-C cable, on June 22, 2026[1]. Priced at 8,980 yen (including tax), it brings together four roles in a single unit: wireless charging, wired charging, a phone stand, and a wireless charger. The idea is to let you charge right away by either placing or plugging in your device, without having to carry a separate cable.

A 4-in-1 design with a built-in cable for both wired and wireless

At the heart of this product is its versatility, handling four roles in one unit: wireless charging, wired charging, a phone stand, and a wireless charger[1]. When you are out, you can simply attach it to a MagSafe-compatible smartphone for wireless charging; when you are in a hurry, you can charge over the built-in cable; and at home or on a desk, you can use it as a wireless charger that props up your phone.

Power banks are convenient, but they have always had a weak point: if you forget the dedicated cable, you cannot charge. By building a USB-C cable into the body, the SMARTCOBY Ex05 aims to remove that worry in a single device[1]. The cable is about 22cm long for easy handling, and because it is detachable, it can be replaced if it ever breaks[1].

Up to 25W wireless charging with Qi2.2 support

Wireless charging supports the Qi2.2 standard and delivers up to 25W[1]. Qi2 is a standard defined by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the industry body for wireless charging, and is characterized by magnetic alignment based on Apple's MagSafe[2]. The WPC released a specification in 2025 that raised Qi2 to up to 25W, increasing power delivery from the previous 15W[2]. The SMARTCOBY Ex05 follows this 25W support.

As a guide to charging speed, CIO says that charging an iPhone 17 Pro for 30 minutes from 0 percent recovers about 17 percent with conventional Qi 7.5W charging, and about 36 percent with Qi2.2 25W charging[1]. By simply snapping it onto the device magnetically, you can expect faster charging than conventional wireless charging. Note that charging speed varies depending on the connected device and operating conditions[1].

Up to 35W over the built-in USB-C cable for when you are in a hurry

For wired charging, the built-in USB-C cable delivers up to 35W[1]. While wireless charging is convenient, some loss is unavoidable by design, so wired charging is better suited for situations where you want to charge as quickly and stably as possible. According to CIO, charging an iPhone 17 Pro over the 35W wired connection reaches about 70 percent in 30 minutes[1].

Supported devices are not limited to smartphones; the unit also covers tablets and some mobile laptops[1]. Making use of its 10000mAh capacity, CIO says it can serve as a backup power source for devices such as the iPad Air and MacBook Air[1]. Because you can switch between wireless and wired charging by situation, a single unit handles both leave-it-on-the-pad charging and quick top-ups before heading out.

A semi-solid cell and CIO's own safety standards

The unit uses a semi-solid battery cell[1]. CIO explains that it has a structure that holds the electrolyte, a common cause of fires, to 10 percent or less, and that it has cleared inspection items that simulate drops, repeated use, and nail penetration[1].

For safety, in addition to CIO's own NovaCore C2 standard, which is defined from the perspectives of materials, structure, and operation, the unit features NovaSafety S2, which detects temperature and controls output[1]. This reflects a design intended to be used with peace of mind even during high-output charging. Note that the term semi-solid here is an operational designation based on CIO's own definition and is not an industry-standard specification name[1].

A 360-degree ring stand and 10000mAh capacity

The back features a ring stand that moves freely through 360 degrees[1]. It works as a phone stand when watching videos or making video calls, and as a phone ring when held in the hand, so you can comfortably operate the device even while charging[1].

The capacity is 10000mAh, and according to CIO it can charge an iPhone 17 Pro about 1.41 times over wireless charging and about 1.46 times over USB-C cable charging[1]. It secures enough capacity to fully charge a smartphone several times while packing everyday conveniences such as a ring stand and a built-in cable into a single unit.

Price and availability

The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 8,980 yen (including tax), and it comes in two colors, silver and black[1]. It is sold through Amazon.co.jp, the CIO official online store on Rakuten Ichiba, some electronics retailers, and the CIO STORE direct shops[1].

To mark the launch, Amazon offers a 10 percent discount promotion code, 26C77K92, and Rakuten Ichiba offers a discount coupon at the same rate, both available for a limited time until 23:59 on June 29[1].

Summary

The SMARTCOBY Ex05 Wireless2.2 Pro CABLE SS10K is a 10000mAh power bank that offers up to 25W wireless charging with Qi2.2 and up to 35W wired charging through a built-in USB-C cable. It brings together four roles in one unit, wireless charging, wired charging, a phone stand, and a wireless charger, and addresses safety with a semi-solid cell and CIO's own NovaCore C2 and NovaSafety S2 standards. For anyone who wants to charge by either placing or plugging in a device without carrying a cable, it looks like a strong option for handling everyday charging in a single unit.
