Hello, everyone. Today, the author will give you a hands-on experience of the new product "Anker Super Charger" launched by the well-known brand Anker not long ago.

Before exploring this product in detail, the author would like to ask you a question: How do you view "cross-border"?

As for "cross-border", in fact, it is nothing new in the entertainment industry or digital products and other fields. The transformation of sports star Tian Liang into the performing arts circle is to "cross the border"; The combination of mobile phones and tablets is also "crossover". Various cases are too numerous to enumerate. But "crossover" is a risky innovation. Tian Liang is successful, but how many friends of Phoneblet still remember?

Today, Anker boldly "crossover": the product "Anker Super Charger" integrates traditional mobile power supply and charger. It has a built-in 5000mAh, two USB charging ports, and AC pins, which can switch between the charger and power bank freely. How about the experience? Can "crossover" succeed? Let's have a look.

Unpacking | Intimate and international

In the introduction of Baidu Encyclopedia, Anker is a global registered brand founded by Steven Yang, a former Google engineer and born in California, USA. From the whole unpacking process, you can really feel the strong "international style" of the brand.

The outer package of the product is blue and white, and only the brand logo is printed on the front, giving a simple, small and fresh eye pleasing feeling. In addition, there are some product production and parameter information printed on the bottom of the box, so the author will not show them here.

After reading the two pictures above, you can feel the "international model" I mentioned. Relevant English words such as "Thanks for Choosing Anker" and a brief introduction to the advantages of the brand are printed in the box.

First look at the accessories.

"Anker Super Charger" has many small parts, mainly focusing on some paper instructions in Chinese and English. According to these accessories and Anker's domestic promotion of "First Landing in China", this product will definitely be sold in Europe, America and other overseas markets in the future. In addition, Anker is equipped with a Micro USB cable and a black hollowed out storage bag for the Super Charger.

Generally speaking, few of the charging bank/charging head products on the market are equipped with storage bags. However, Anker is very considerate for the user's experience in storage and sorting.

In addition, the author will briefly talk about this Micro USB cable.

Regardless of the quality of the micro USB cable equipped with the charging head and the charging bank on the market, their lengths are at two extremes. The former is generally 1m and above, while the shorter the latter is, the more convenient it is, mostly 20cm. As a "cross-border" product integrating the characteristics of charging head and power bank, the length of the Micro USB data cable of the "Anker Super Charger" accessory is between the two. The author roughly measured it to be about 60cm. This length is a compromise. It can be used as the data cable of the power bank or the data cable of the charging head.

As for quality. The diameter of the wire is general, which is a little thinner than the data wire of another brand of QC 3.0 charging head used by the author. In addition, the "Anker Super Charged" Micro USB data cable has good flexibility and good plasticity.

Real shot | round "little fat guy"

At the first sight of Anker's real body, the idea of "Little Fatty Dunk" came to my mind. While looking at it and writing this experience article, the author also enriched the description of it - a lovely round "little fat pier".

Admittedly, from the perspective of face value, "Anker Super Perfect" may not be the first choice of the appearance party. There are more high face values on the market. But when you look closely, you will find its "loveliness": its body is 72x70x31mm, which is not only like a fattened charging head, but also like a shortened charging bank. In addition, its corners are too soft, giving people a sense of "little fat".

In addition, the author likes Anker's choice of materials. Although the shell of "Anker Super Charged" is made of plastic, it obviously has undergone special polishing treatment. It feels very smooth and delicate, and the overall feel is very good.

The "Anker Super Charge" charging pin adopts a foldable design, which can be easily opened and folded, and can be freely changed between the charging head and the charging bank. In addition, the product body is also equipped with three LED indicators and power switch key. The LED light is blue and flashes during charging and discharging.

Display of pin opening and folding status

In addition, Anker Super Charger is equipped with two USB output ports and one Micro USB input port. According to the official introduction of Anker, two USB output ports support 5V/2.1A output in the charging head mode and 5V/3A output in the charging bank mode, while Micro USB supports 5V/2.1A input. The actual performance will be revealed below.

Multi picture appreciation:

Measured | fast discharge, slow charge

Limited by the testing tools and software, this time the author mainly tests the discharge output and charging efficiency of the "Anker Super Charge" through a "USB Tester"+Hongmi Note 3 mobile phone and a timer.

The first is no-load performance. The no-load voltage of "Anker Super Charger" is 5.11V and the no-load current is 0A when the power supply is not plugged in. In the case of power connection, the no-load voltage of "Anker super charging" is slightly higher, 5.19V.

When connecting the Hongmi Note 3 mobile phone used by the author, the actual output voltage of "Anker Super Charger" is above 5V (5.02V when the author took the picture), and the current is stable at about 1.1A (1.64A peak when taking the picture). In addition, the author also tested using "Anker Super Charger" to charge another type of charging bank. In fact, the output voltage and current were stable at about 4.95V and 1.45A respectively.

However, it should be noted that although the discharge performance is good, the charging speed of "Anker Ultracharge" is actually slow. According to the actual measurement of Digital Jun., in the charge and discharge test from zero to 100 (charging through Micro USB), "Anker Ultra Charge" takes three hours to start. The main reason is that the charging speed of the last 10% of the electricity slowed down the overall performance.

Summary | "Cross border", can it succeed?

OK， This is my first experience of "Anker Super Charged" today.

On the whole, "Anker Super Charged" is solid, careful and satisfactory in terms of appearance design and details. In the more important input and output performance, "Anker Super Charged" did not disappoint, and its performance was commendable. Therefore, the author believes that in terms of the hardware integration of the charging head and the power bank, "Anker Super Charger" has successfully completed its mission and solved the travel problem to a certain extent.

But the price of "Anker Super Charged" is 168 yuan, which is the biggest threshold to test consumers.
