This time, we focus on the high-power new product of ASUS Adol series - the 140W GaN fast charger, which serves as an excellent charger in wall for daily use. This product inherits the classic exquisite R-angle and finger-groove design of the family, with an appearance profile consistent with the previously teardown 100W version. However, on the premise of a substantial leap in output power, the volume only increases slightly. In terms of color, it offers two Morandi color options: Cloud White and Meteorite Gray, balancing practicality and appearance. As a reliable charger in wall, it perfectly fits modern home and office scenarios.

In terms of core configuration, this charger is equipped with 2C1A three fast-charging interfaces. Both USB-C interfaces support 140W full-power output, perfectly adapting to PD3.1 fast-charging ecosystem devices, and are also compatible with Xiaomi 120W Surge Fast Charging protocol, making it very user-friendly for Mi-series users. As a high-performance charger in wall, it can meet the diverse charging needs of multiple devices simultaneously.

This foldable pin design is very practical for the charger in wall, especially for users who need to carry it when going out.

The output end has a clear layout, with 2 USB-C interfaces and 1 USB-A interface arranged horizontally, meeting the needs of simultaneous charging of multiple devices. We have actually measured the dimensions and weight of the charger: the length is about 64.53mm, the width is about 58.12mm, the thickness is about 32.28mm, and the weight is only 228g. Compared with the Apple 140W charger, its volume advantage is very significant, and the compact feeling when held in the hand is also quite intuitive. As a high-power charger in wall, it has a very obvious advantage in portability.

3. Protocols and Gear Positions: Wide Compatibility and Strong Power of the Charger in Wall

With professional testing equipment, we have conducted detailed tests on the protocol support and voltage gear positions of the charger. The results show that the USB-C1 port is compatible with various mainstream charging protocols such as QC2.0/5, PD3.1, PPS, DCP, and Apple 2.4A, and also supports Xiaomi 120W Surge Fast Charging. Its compatibility covers most mainstream devices. This wide compatibility makes the charger in wall suitable for almost all common electronic devices on the market.

The PDO message further shows that the USB-C1 port has rich voltage gear positions, including six sets of fixed voltage gear positions: 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V3A, 20V5A, 28V5A, as well as 5-20V5A PPS voltage gear position and 15-28V 140W AVS voltage gear position, which can accurately match the charging needs of different devices. The rich voltage gear positions ensure that the charger in wall can provide the most suitable charging mode for each device.

The test on the Xiaomi 120W Surge Fast Charging protocol shows that it supports two sets of private voltage gear positions: 3.3-11V6A and 3.3-20V6A, providing full-power fast charging support for Mi-series flagship models.
