Sharge previews new 3-in-1 charging accessory

Sharge asserts that its next retractable cable accessory will free up space in the bag of a user compelled to carry a cable, a power brick or a power bank as separate entities around at all times.

The latest addition to the Sharge Retractable series can charge the user's devices with or without access to a wall socket thanks to the inclusion of a 10,000mAh battery.

It also still packs a cable on an internal roller, visible as part of a design Nothing might have hoped for in its new Phone (3).

To that end, a dot-matrix LED display tracks the power bank's charging status, while an integrated lanyard might help prevent loss or theft.

The Retractable 3-in-1 also integrates a foldable plug and a second USB-C port. Then again, the whole product has the same specs as its immediate predecessor, which means it cannot charge or re-charge at more than 30 watts (W). That is (still) fast enough for an iPhone, but perhaps not for other smartphones.

Sharge has yet to announce pricing for its new 3-in-1 gadget; for context, the Retractable 65 is currently priced at $49.99 on Amazon, with a 20% discount via the limited-time coupon code 5UCCIATW
