Anker is preparing to launch a new GAN charger under the Zolo brand – the Anker Zolo A2697 140W. In addition to having a charging power of up to 140W, the Anker Zolo A2697 is the company’s first charger equipped with a display screen.
Technical specifications of the Anker Zolo A2697.
The Anker Zolo A2697 has been revealed to launch with a single color option: white. The device is equipped with 3 USB-C ports and one USB-A port, where two USB-C ports (C1 and C2) can provide power of up to 140W each, while the third USB-C port (C3) has a maximum power of 40W. The USB-A port on the Zolo A2697 has a maximum charging capability of 33W, which is higher than the 22.5W typically seen on the USB-A ports of previous GAN chargers released by Anker.
Size
With dimensions of 6.9 × 6.9 × 3.6 cm and weighing 350g, this charger is approximately 34% larger and 51% heavier than the Anker 747 GaN Prime 150W model (currently priced at around 2 million in the Vietnamese market). Although it has a total power output that is 7% lower (150W compared to 140W), the device is bulkier than the previously launched model 747. This can be explained by the charging power per port; although the total charging power is 150W, the 747 GaN Prime model can only charge a maximum of 100W for each USB-C port and 22.5W for the USB-A port, while the Anker Zolo A2697 can charge up to 140W for two USB-C ports. This will be more suitable for users using devices like the Macbook Pro, which requires a maximum power of 140W.

This screen on the power bank not only shows the remaining battery percentage but also provides real-time information about the charging power. express appreciation for this display, and Anker continues to provide real-time information about charging status and power distribution. Based on the revealed images, the Anker Zolo A2697 will be equipped with a foldable US plug, which is quite convenient as it can be compactly folded for easy transport.
