Anker Prime Smart Display Charger Pro 160W Unboxing Review: Compact Flagship LED Charger with Intelligent Features

Anker has recently launched a highly anticipated flagship LED charger — the Prime Smart Display Charger Pro 160W (model A2687). This innovative display charger stands out with its ultra-high power density and advanced smart interaction, featuring three USB-C ports that all support PD 3.1 protocol, with single-port output up to 140W (peak 150W) and multi-port total output capped at 160W. Thanks to cutting-edge gallium nitride (GaN) technology and precise internal stacking, this smart LED charger achieves a remarkably compact size comparable to an AirPods Pro case, while delivering powerful performance for multi-device users.

Packaging and Accessories

The packaging box features a clean black-and-gray design, with the front highlighting the Anker brand logo, a product render, and key selling points like the 160W total power and intelligent display charger screen. The back includes a detailed parameter label. Inside the box, you'll find the LED charger itself, a multi-language manual (including a quick start guide), but no charging cable — a common choice for premium smart display chargers to allow users to pair it with high-spec cables of their choice.

Design and Build Quality

The main body of this display charger is finished in silver-gray metallic paint, complemented by a black glossy panel on top, giving it a refined and stylish look. Measuring just 65.3 × 52 × 35 mm and weighing around 220g, this portable LED charger excels in everyday carry. The sides incorporate sculpted waistlines for better aesthetics and improved grip during plugging/unplugging.

The foldable prongs feature a rough matte rubberized coating for secure wall socket retention. One side houses the three USB-C ports with clear markings, while the input end lists detailed specs:

Custom Mode: Fine-tune max power (1W increments) and protocols per port, even schedule port on/off.
