Anker's Zolo wall charger comes with a built-in display to monitor power delivery and supports high-speed charging for multiple devices.
Anker, a leader in charging technology, is set to shake things up once again with its upcoming 140W wall charger — the first in the company's lineup to feature an integrated display. An unboxing video posted on YouTube has given us an early look at this exciting new device, which is likely to cater to power users who need fast, reliable charging for multiple devices at once.
The Anker Zolo wall charger, which appeared in a video from Xiao Li TV, promises to deliver up to 140W of power, spread across four USB ports, and features a sleek screen showing real-time power output. While the charger hasn’t been officially announced yet, these early leaks reveal a lot about what users can expect.
Power Delivery and Port Configuration
According to leaked details shared on Reddit, the Zolo charger is equipped with three USB-C ports and a single USB-A port, offering 140W of shared power output. However, its real strength lies in the dual high-speed charging capabilities of two of its USB-C ports, which can individually deliver up to 140W of power when used alone. The remaining ports will be capable of 40W (USB-C) and 33W (USB-A), providing ample power for charging smaller devices like smartphones and tablets.
A Screen That’s Actually Useful
Perhaps the most unique feature of the new Anker charger is the inclusion of a built-in display. This screen shows exactly how much power each port is delivering at any given time, allowing users to monitor power flow across all four ports. This kind of visibility is perfect for tech enthusiasts who like to know how efficiently their devices are charging, whether it’s a high-powered laptop, a smartphone, or a pair of wireless earbuds.
When the charger is not in use, the display even shows a sleeping face, adding a cute and fun touch to this otherwise practical device.
Thoughtful Design for Heavy Chargers
One common issue with high-powered wall chargers is their tendency to fall out of outlets due to their weight, especially when loaded with multiple devices. Anker seems to have taken this into account with the Zolo charger. Weighing in at 350 grams, it is slightly heavier than Anker’s other four-port chargers, such as the Anker 747 (GaNPrime 150W). To counterbalance the weight, Anker has designed the Zolo with downward-facing ports. This not only helps shift the charger’s center of gravity closer to the wall but also ensures a more secure grip when plugged into an outlet.
Moreover, the charger includes folding prongs for better portability, and the textured design of the prongs provides more stability, reducing the likelihood of the charger coming loose when plugged in.
What We Know So Far: Release and Pricing
While the exact release date and pricing for the Anker Zolo 140W charger remain unknown, the early leaks and unboxing video suggest that its launch is imminent. The inclusion of a screen, thoughtful design choices, and powerful charging capabilities indicate that this charger is aimed at users who demand top-tier performance and convenience from their power accessories.
Given Anker's strong reputation for quality and innovation, this charger is likely to be a popular choice for both tech enthusiasts and everyday users who need to charge multiple devices quickly and efficiently.
