Anker has launched a new addition to its Nano lineup in the US: the Nano Charger (70W, 3 Ports). Small in size but big on output, the charger promises to handle everything from smartphones to laptops without weighing down your bag. For anyone tired of carrying multiple bulky bricks, this little adapter could be a solid all-in-one option.
The new charger, also known as model A121A, first appeared in China as the Nano SafeCharge Ultra before making its way stateside. It packs two USB-C ports and one USB-A, with up to 70W from a single USB-C port — enough to bring a 2024 MacBook Pro 14 to 50 percent in about 35 minutes. Using both USB-C ports splits the power (60W + 5W), while pairing USB-C with the USB-A gives 45W and 22.5W – a perfect combination to power an iPhone and the latest Galaxy S Ultra at the same time. With all three ports active, the first USB-C still delivers 45W, and the other two drop to 7.5W each.
It’s a clever split that makes sense for charging a phone or a more power-hungry laptop, along with smaller accessories like earphones that typically need less than 5W.
The charger is 41 percent smaller than Apple’s 70W adapter, coming in at 2.1 x 1.7 x 1.2 inches (53 x 43 x 30 mm) and weighing just 4.2 oz (120 g). It also has a glossy finish, a metal frame, foldable pins, and a design that stays stable in wall sockets. Anker’s ActiveShield 4.0 safety system constantly monitors temperature, so overheating shouldn’t be a concern even during heavy use.
The Anker Nano Charger is available now on Amazon US for $49.99, bundled with a 4.9 ft USB-C to USB-C cable. For the moment, it’s only offered in black, but white, pink, and green versions are expected to follow. Anker hasn’t confirmed release plans for Europe or other markets yet, though a wider rollout is likely later this year.
