A "smart" charger with a screen has appeared in Russia.

Anker has announced the launch of its new 45W Anker Nano Charger in Russia. This is not just another "brick" for the socket, but a real little computer with a color display.
The most important thing is that it finally eliminates the main pain point for any user — the need to guess whether the phone is charging quickly or just heating the air. The screen honestly displays the real watts: 5, 20, or all 45. Plus, there is a temperature indicator and even funny emojis, so that adult uncles and aunts can enjoy visual feedback without delving into dry numbers.
By the way, the developers have considered the case when the socket is in the most inconvenient place behind a cabinet. Just squeeze the case, and the image on the display will turn upside down. Convenient, no matter how you look at it.

A mode for paranoids and those who love to sleep
A separate pride of the new device is the Care Mode. The developers assure that it has passed TÜV Rheinland certification and reduces the charging temperature by about 5 degrees. For those who are used to putting their phone on charge at night, hoping that the battery won't "crumble" in six months, this is a real lifesaver. The device does not "slowly fry" the battery but gently lulls it to sleep. Moreover, for the latest iPhone models (from 15 to 17) and iPad Pro, it automatically determines the optimal profile, so the owner won't even have to press extra buttons or figure out the settings.

Power in your pocket
Inside the device, instead of the usual silicon, gallium nitride semiconductors are used. This trendy term means that the charger is almost 50% more compact than similar devices of the same power. It easily fits in the pocket of a jacket or jeans, which will please the ever-hurrying urban dwellers. Despite its tiny size, it is enough to charge an iPhone to 50% in just 20 minutes, as well as charge any laptop powered via USB-C. Samsung Galaxy owners can also rejoice: Super Fast Charging support is present.
Anker claims compatibility with three main fast charging protocols, so the new device will easily handle both Android flagships and tablets, and even some laptops. The most pleasant thing is that despite all this, the MultiProtect system is always on guard: it constantly monitors voltage and current, and if something goes wrong, it simply cuts off the power. No sparks or surprises.

Price and where to buy
The minimalist matte case is pleasing to the eye, available in four colors: from classic black to bold orange and sky blue. The device can already be found in retail chains "Technopark" and Dr Head, as well as on marketplaces Ozon and Wildberries. Also, check out "M.Video" and DNS — the new product will appear there very soon.
