[Preface]
ANKER, Born in California, USA in 2011, it is a dynamic multinational e-commerce retail enterprise. It was originally founded by several former Google engineers. It has been more than six years since its establishment. During the six years of accumulation and precipitation, it has been able to maintain rapid growth. At present, it has become the first USB charging brand in North America. In Shenzhen, the United States Japan has set up branches respectively. The current senior team of the company gathers management, technology and marketing elites from Google, and has very rich experience in online marketing.
However, the author found that ANKER is not such a simple company, and even found that ANKER is a Chinese brand going abroad. Amazon's USB charging accessories rank first More than 20 million balls Hu, the head office is set up in Changsha. CEO Yang Meng, a former Google engineer, joined several Google engineers to establish ANKER after resigning in 2011. The founding idea is to strengthen the investment in innovation, quality and service based on China's manufacturing capacity. The characteristics of the products are very consistent with the characteristics of engineers: dull but powerful. This time, the author is lucky to have a close contact with this product and look at this work with a young person's eyes.
[Evaluation]
① Unpacking
ANKER's appearance is not worthy of responsibility. At best, it is standard. It is similar to the simple design style preferred by young people but more business oriented. The author has known this when doing homework in advance, so he can be calm when opening the box. But in the process of opening the box, he is like a teenager picking up shells on the beach, From time to time, the small design and thoughtfulness make the author feel that although this product is biased towards business, it is not ambiguous in terms of quality.
The design of the outer package is solid and clear, without any other special design traces, but the expression of things is really comprehensive, and the white prominent area under the blue and white color is the logo of ANKER.
Stickers are used on the back to display specifications, which can speed up production and save costs. However, the stickers are slightly skewed. This detail has no impact on the product, but it affects the overall beauty at first glance.
The box adopts the button design, but as the author opened it, he saw something different. The products of the previous middle and low-end products can be seen after the button is opened, but ANKER added a design similar to brand promotion, just like the screen in the home. The living room is always boring at the first sight, which can increase the attraction.
The positive meaning is that the leading USB charging products in Europe and the United States, fast charging technology, and 20 million users worldwide; There is a small line on the side: Thank you for choosing ANKER. This design is close to Europe and the United States, and ANKER's main business is overseas, so it is not surprising that all English is also used.
The interior and the outer box echo each other, without a sense of design, but the left and right symmetrical aesthetics will not kill obsessive-compulsive patients. Rather than saying that there is no innovative design, it is actually a more simple and convenient hidden design, such as the notch on the right accessory box, which is more convenient to take out. Overall sense: absolute business atmosphere.
Do you feel a bit of surprise waiting for you to find in the family photo? Although there is no other high-profile appearance design, ANKER is absolutely complete in terms of comfort.
HAPPY on the front of this small note? After opening, ANKER has a proud advantage; Not happy? It is a customer service hotline, which means criticism and correction. Although it will not really raise opinions, in my opinion, this is the only one that can make opinion cards like this.
② Appearance
In terms of appearance, ANKER also achieves the business style. The minimalist design mainly tells consumers that the excellence of this product is not external, but internal.
Today's young people will definitely say: Wow! This thing is so black and ugly! It's almost the same as my Apple rechargeable head, except for the color! Yes, the author will not make too many excuses for ANKER, but from the aesthetic point of view, he can not tell what is ugly. Why? Because ANKER uses a square appearance, no matter how you look at it, you will not feel that this product is very obsessive-compulsive. Although the color is not pleasing to the eye, the appearance is square, and the fillets on all sides also make this product feel ugly but compact when you hold it in your hand.
The size of ANKER is only half of the size of a 5.5 inch mobile phone, which can be said to be compact when it is powerful. One package contains not only a power pack, but also a charger! This greatly saves the carrying volume of travel or outdoor equipment.
③ Features
Speaking of functions, it can be said that the essence of ANKER lies in its functions, which mainly include: ① ANKER's innovative PowerIQ design It is an independent patent of Anker Company, which can intelligently identify the equipment connected to each interface, automatically adjust the current output, and provide the fastest and most stable charging for the equipment. All interfaces automatically match the full speed charging. The maximum output power of the mobile power supply is 5V3A, and the stable output current is 0.1A-2.4A. After explosive charging, the PwolIQ system will automatically switch to trickle charging, which greatly protects the charging equipment. ② The biggest feature is the combination of power bank and charger When traveling, it saves luggage space. Taking an ANKER is equivalent to taking a charging bank and a charging head. ③ The output of single port 3A can not only charge Type-c fast charging mobile phones, but also charge mobile phones that do not support Tape-c. It can also charge Macbook laptops, which can have many small functions.
The self charging can be directly plugged into the patch panel with its own plug, or it can be charged with an external plug. Ladies and gentlemen, Figure 3 is not advisable. In the actual test, it takes 2 hours and 40 minutes for the author to fully charge himself, and the speed is average.
It can be used as a plug or as a power bank. Under the control of PowerIQ, there is no need to worry about the negative impact of excessive output voltage on mobile phones. The capacity of 5000 mA makes my mobile phone fully charged once and a half.
Summary
ANKER sells for 168 in the market. To be honest, it is too expensive for 5000 mA capacity. Many people will say that it is not worth buying. After all, Rome Shi needs only 60 mA for 10000 mA, and it may be more attractive in appearance. However, Rome Shi can only be used as a charger, and you certainly dare not charge your MACBook with it. In terms of charging safety, ANKER should do a good job. PowerIQ's function is extremely powerful. Its stable output and self regulating function enable different charging devices to safely charge their own devices. Therefore, ANKER leads the USB charging industry. And the two in one function of the charger and charging bank can also save space. The little brother who travels outdoors must like the products with many functions that do not take up space. However, ANKER's shortcomings are also obvious: no design appearance, dark and unattractive; The capacity is only 5000mA, which is relatively small compared with the mainstream; The price is on the high side. The price of 168 is not acceptable to everyone. To sum up, although ugly, it is very powerful!
