First-ever Anker Zolo 4-port 140W wall charger with built-in display surfaces

Anker seems to be preparing to launch a new wall charger under the 'Zolo' moniker - model A2697 - featuring a digital display, its first of this kind. This upcoming charger, showcased in a white colorway, packs a total maximum output of 140W, distributed across three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Two of the USB-C ports (C1 and C2) offer up to 140W each, while the third USB-C port (C3) maxes out at 40W. The USB-A port can handle up to 33W of power, a step up from the 22.5W Anker usually offers with those ports.

With its dimensions of 6.9 × 6.9 × 3.6 cm and a weight of 350g, this charger is approximately 34% larger and 51% heavier than Anker's existing 747 GaN Prime 150W Wall Charger (currently $99.99 on Amazon). Despite being about 7% less powerful in overall output, which might deter some, it compensates with additional power on two of its USB-C ports, which are 40% more powerful than their counterparts on the 747 model as per reports. This makes the charger ideal for faster charging of high-wattage devices like laptops, suitable for users with multiple demanding gadgets. The larger size and heavier build seem justified in this context.

This move by Anker is interesting. Incorporating a digital display is something Anker has done with its power banks before, like the Anker 737 24,000 mAh power bank (currently $109.99 on Amazon). Users have clearly shown appreciation for digital displays in their reviews on Amazon and other websites, so Anker is doubling down to provide more real-time charging status and power distribution information. Furthermore, while the report explicitly doesn't mention a folding plug, the attached image (see above) surely indicates the presence of one - another neat little feature that further reduces the form factor of the charger for those who travel often.

With no official release date and pricing info available yet, the A2697 looks to be Anker's first foray into wall-chargers with digital displays - a trend that might continue into the future. It'll definitely depend on this product's reception when it launches.
