Anker has released wall chargers with built-in screens that go beyond basic charging speed displays. These compact smart display chargers pack multiple functions into a single plug-in device.

The devices feature small screens that show real-time charging information. Beyond wattage readouts, the smart display chargers track power consumption, monitor connected device status, and provide insights into energy usage patterns. Designed as space-saving alternatives to traditional multi-port chargers, Anker's smart display plugs mount directly into wall outlets. The integrated screens eliminate the need for separate monitoring apps or devices. The chargers support multiple simultaneous connections while displaying individual charging speeds for each device. They also include safety features that monitor temperature and power delivery to prevent overcharging. Anker positions these as tools for users who want visibility into their charging habits and power consumption without cluttering their workspace or relying on smartphone apps.
