At the start of this year, Anker introduced a 140W wall charger. This 4-port GaN charger features a digital screen that displays key information like the power consumption of connected devices and temperature readings. Now, Anker is set to launch an even more powerful version with a higher wattage rating.
New Model Details
According to AnkerInsider, the upcoming charger, identified by the model number A2687, will be a 160W 3-port wall adapter equipped with a smart display. The charger measures 6.5 x 5.2 x 3.5 cm and weighs approximately 250 grams. An image released by the source indicates that it will come in a gray color.
Charging Capabilities
Previously, it was disclosed that this charger will feature three USB-C ports only, unlike the 140W version which includes three USB-C ports plus an additional USB-A port. However, with the increased power rating, users can expect to charge multiple devices at once, and do so at a faster speed.
The Anker 160W charger is also said to include Anker's PowerIQ 5.0 technology, which provides dynamic power distribution every two minutes. It is anticipated that it will have a foldable plug, likely for the US variant; and given that it has a display, it should also offer features like temperature monitoring and specific port information.
Pricing Information
The Anker Prime 3-Port 160W wall charger is expected to retail for between $129.99 and $149.99 when it launches this fall, according to AnkerInsider. In contrast, the 4-port 140W charger is currently available for purchase on Amazon for $99.99 in Dark Gray or Silver, and it includes a braided cable in the package.
