Anker is rumored to be working on a new Nano 5-in-1 20W Travel Adapter for release in the next year. The accessory can be used in various countries thanks to retractable and foldable pins. Plus, the product offers four USB ports, allowing you to power multiple devices simultaneously.

A new Anker Nano 5-in-1 20W Travel Adapter has been leaked. An image and details of the upcoming accessory were recently shared on Reddit by tipster u/joshuadwx. The product is said to have model number A9215 and is designed for customers in various countries.

On one side of the Travel Adapter are inputs for Type A (North America) and Type C (Europe, South America, Asia) plugs. On the opposite side are retractable and foldable pins for Type A, Type C, Type G (UK, Singapore) and Type I (AU, China) outlets. The retractable pins are operated using sliders on the side of the device; one is labelled US/AU, and the second is labelled UK. According to the Reddit post, the maximum input is 750W in the US and 1,380W in the UK and EU.  Also on the sides of the portable accessory are two USB-C ports, offering up to 20W and 15W power respectively, and two 12W USB-C outputs. When multiple ports are in use, 12W is said to be split between the outputs.

Further details, such as size and pricing, have yet to be revealed. U/joshuadwx suggests that the Anker 5-in-1 20W Travel Adapter will go on sale in the US at some point in the next 12 months, with an RRP of $22.99. Anker already offers similar accessories with AC and USB outputs, like the more basic USA to UK International Plug Adapter, currently available for $9.59 at Amazon. Plus, Anker is also rumored to be developing a 4-in-1 Travel Adapter with a higher maximum output of 65W.
