Sharge intros new Anker Nano rival with 40W fast charging and compact design

Sharge has introduced a new Apple-esque charging adapter, and the fast charger seems to be a direct rival to the Anker Nano. Like Anker's offering, this power brick has a compact form factor, with the brand touting that it's 30% smaller than the regular mobile charger from Apple.

There's support for 40W fast charging, which gives the latest 45W Anker Nano an edge, but Sharge says that with this power output, the adapter can get the iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 20 minutes. The AVS chip inside is said to do frequent temperature checks, ensuring low-temperature operating for stable charging.

Getting back to the design, Sharge highlights that the 40W charger has a charging indicator that matches the LED on the carrying case of the Apple AirPods. The overall build is also meant to be identical, with rounded corners and metallic edges around the port.

The foldable plug makes it easier to carry the charger around, and while the power adapter doesn't have a built-in display like the new Anker Nano (curr. $29.99 on Amazon), Sharge says that users can customize the looks with stickers. The company hasn't shared any concrete details on when the adapter will launch, but it's expected to be released in China soon.
