Anker Nano Charger 45W with Smart Display launches in the UK with app updates and smarter charging
Anker has introduced an upgraded version of its Nano Charger 45W with Smart Display in the UK, bringing a key improvement that many users have been waiting for: over-the-air updates.
The compact USB-C charger first appeared in China in 2025, but the latest version adds better long-term support through the Anker app. With software updates, the charger can gain compatibility with future devices, including recognition for upcoming iPhone models. This makes it a more future-ready option for users who want a small, travel-friendly charger that can keep improving after purchase.
One of the biggest additions is support for AVS charging. This feature is designed to help reduce battery wear by managing power delivery more intelligently. Anker began rolling out this update on September 30, giving the charger enhanced charging behavior without requiring users to buy new hardware.
The Anker Nano Charger 45W with Smart Display features a single USB-C port and can deliver up to 45W of power. That makes it suitable for fast-charging many smartphones, tablets, and smaller USB-C devices. Its intelligent device recognition system works with the built-in Care Mode to adjust power output in real time, helping provide efficient charging while aiming to protect battery health.
A standout feature is the smart display built into one end of the charger. This screen shows useful charging information at a glance, making it easier to see what is happening while your device is plugged in. For users who like to monitor charging status without opening an app, this small display adds extra convenience.
Despite its power output, the charger remains compact. It measures 77.3 x 35.8 x 34.0 mm and weighs around 90 g, making it easy to carry in a bag or use at a desk, bedside table, or office setup. However, UK buyers should note that this model does not include folding pins, which may matter for those who want the most travel-friendly design possible.
The upgraded Anker Nano Charger 45W with Smart Display is now available in the UK with a recommended retail price of £34.99. At launch, it is being offered at a reduced price of £26.99, giving buyers an £8 discount.
The charger had already been released in other regions earlier in 2026, including the US. In the UK, the current color choices are limited to black and white, even though additional colors such as burgundy, light blue, and orange are available in some other markets.
For anyone looking for a compact 45W USB-C charger with smart charging features, a built-in display, and app-based update support, Anker’s upgraded Nano Charger could be a strong option. Its combination of portability, real-time charging information, and future device compatibility makes it a practical choice for modern smartphone users.
