Anker appears to be preparing an updated version of its Nano 45W wall charger, and this time the focus is on smarter features rather than shrinking the size. Details of the accessory, reportedly called the Anker Nano 45W Wall Charger with Smart Display (model A2693), surfaced on August 28 through AnkerInsider.
The new charger is said to measure 43 x 36 x 35 mm, making it about 40% larger than the current Nano 45W (model A2692), which comes in at 33 x 32 x 36.9 mm. Even so, it keeps a compact form with folding pins and a single USB-C port that can deliver up to 45W. Anker is expected to release the charger globally before the end of the year.
The headline feature here is the addition of a small smart display, paired with Bluetooth connectivity and support for the Anker app. According to the leak, users will be able to view charging status in real time, schedule charging sessions, and enable a battery protection mode.
That mode is reportedly compatible with the iPhone 15/16 series and USB-C iPads released after 2020. It may pause charging when the battery temperature is too high or too low, similar to Anker’s Laptop Power Bank (model A1695). Competing chargers such as Belkin’s BoostCharge 67W already include comparable safeguards, though Anker’s focus here seems to be tighter app integration.
One limitation is the single-port design. Users who want to charge multiple devices may find options like Belkin’s 67W 3-Port USB-C charger more suitable.
The Nano 45W with Smart Display was first hinted at in July and, if the leaks prove accurate, will represent a shift in Anker’s charger lineup toward smart functionality rather than just compact design.
