A charger with a screen sounds like a novelty until it’s the right screen. Anker’s new Nano Charger leans into visibility: real-time charging information presented on a tiny display meant to make power delivery feel less opaque.

At 45W over USB-C, the Nano Charger targets the modern everyday loadout—phones, tablets, handhelds, and smaller laptops that accept USB-C Power Delivery. The foldable plug keeps it travel-friendly, while Anker frames the display as a way to monitor what’s happening rather than simply decorate the brick.

If this category has a design lesson, it’s that “small” doesn’t have to mean anonymous. A charger that communicates clearly earns a spot in a carry kit the same way a good tool does—by reducing friction.

For buyers already in the Anker ecosystem, it’s a tidy upgrade that trades guesswork for a quick glance.
