The Anker Smart Display Charger is a compact 45W wall charger with a tiny built-in display that folds up when you’re done using it. It features a smart charging function that recognizes your device and switches modes accordingly to maximize your efficiency. The display allows you to see the charging process without having to guess how far along it is.
A quick and easy way to charge your entire tech stack
The first thing that makes this Anker charger stand out is its 45W output, which automatically adjusts to fast-charge-compatible devices. In addition to the adjustable output, the charger can use smart technology to adjust the output based on your device’s battery level. It can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in approximately 20 minutes. However, like many other single-port chargers on the market today, this charger does not include a cable, so you’ll need to provide your own.
The display on the Anker Smart Display Charger is really where this charger differentiates itself from the competition. Pressing once on the charger displays the current charging status, pressing twice toggles through different modes, and holding for 2 seconds rotates the screen so it’s easier to view, regardless of how it’s positioned in the outlet. The display also automatically shuts off after a full minute to prevent distractions in dark rooms.
While Care Mode isn’t uncommon among small chargers, it’s still worth recognizing. When enabled, Care Mode automatically detects supported iPhone models and can be set to a low-temperature battery mode. This mode reduces the temperature of your phone’s battery during charging by up to 9 degrees F compared with a standard 45-W charger. Heat is one of the main things that kills your battery, so choosing to use Care Mode when charging speed isn’t a concern helps your phone stay healthier over time.
The charger measures only 1.34 x 1.4 x 1.57 inches and weighs only 3.17 oz., making it extremely portable. Also included are 90- and 180-degree foldable prongs, which let you easily fit your charger into tight outlets or small travel bags. For those looking for a faster single-port USB-C charger without sacrificing style or functionality, the Anker Smart Display Charger delivers. Even at its relatively low price of $28, down from the regular $40, the charger offers a compact form factor, foldable prongs, and premium features such as a display screen showing charging status and a battery care mode.
