Anker, the globally renowned consumer electronics manufacturer based in the Hunan province of China, announced the Anker Nano 3, the brand’s latest GaN fast charger in its official launch event in China today.

The Anker Nano 3 is a 30 W GaN compact fast charger from the company. As the name suggests, it only weighs in at a very light 30 grams and is 28.5 mm x 28.5 mm x 35.5 mm in dimensions. The charger only has one output charging port and it is a USB-C port that can deliver up to 30 watts of power.

Accompanied by the lightweight compact form factor are some very vibrant color options to choose from. The Anker Nano 3 30 W is available in 5 different colors to choose from, which are Shadow Black, Aurora White, Nature Green, Lavender Purple, and Morning Mist Blue.

As a lightweight travel adapter, the Anker Nano 3 also features connector pins that can be folded when not in use and unfolded when you need to connect to a power outlet. 

As for the performance of the Anker Nano 3, Anker is making some bold claims that the Nano 3 can charge the iPhone 13 Pro Max from dead to 50% in half an hour, the M2 Macbook Air from dead to 50% in 58 minutes, and the iPad Air M1 (5th Generation) from dead to 50% in 45 minutes.

The specific charging standards of the Anker Nano 3 are listed as 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A whilst PPS charging support is 3.3V to 11V across 3A (30 W Max), or 3.3V to 16V across 2A (30 W Max).

The Anker Nano 3 also goes by two other model names as well which are respectively, the Anker 511 Charger, and the Anker A2147 Charger.

The Anker Nano 3 goes on sale from today onwards in China starting from 119 RMB (18 USD) and comes with an official 24-month warranty for the charger in China.

A new report from South Korea has revealed that Samsung smartphones in the near future will not arrive with a charger in the box. Chargers being bundled in the box is a norm in the industry but recent rumors may say otherwise.

Samsung is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. It ships hundreds of millions of smartphones each year. So, if the South Korean tech giant decided to drop the chargers that were bundled in the box, the company would see a major reduction in cost. This, on the other hand, would enable the company to price its handsets even more aggressively.

According to the report, Samsung might implement this change to select smartphone models. And unfortunately, we may see this change implemented as soon as next year, which is just barely 6 months away. Unlike earphones, which also used to be bundled in the box, a charger is downright essential for a smartphone owner.

At this day and age, charging ports and standards have more or less unified across the board. And it seems Samsung is banking on this uniformity to no longer ship chargers to new devices. Notably, Samsung isn’t the first company that has had this rumor go about as Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12 series was also rumored to drop the charger from the box. Similar to the headphones jack, if Apple does so, Samsung may follow as well.
