Anker is tightening its product lineup while pushing high-profile, tech-forward chargers. The company unveiled a co-branded GaN Type‑C flagship — the Lingguang Smart Display Charger Pro tied to Black Myth: Wukong — offering 140W single‑port and 160W multi‑port output, TÜV Rheinland certification and gamer‑oriented styling. At the same time Anker is trimming its sprawling charging SKUs after acknowledging quality and operational strains, having already cut ~70% and promising further reductions. Meanwhile it continues to release mainstream accessories like the Air+ magnetic 10,000mAh power bank (15W wireless, 30W wired) — signaling a strategy that balances premium, branded innovations with a slimmer, better‑controlled core portfolio.
Anker's move to cut SKUs while launching premium GaN chargers signals a shift toward focused product portfolios and higher-margin, branded innovations. Tech professionals should note supply, certification, and design priorities that affect partnerships, manufacturing, and competitive positioning.

Anker has launched the Air+ magnetic power bank in China, on sale May 13 for ¥399 (10000mAh). The slim 1.47cm, 210g pack comes in four colors and delivers up to 15W magnetic wireless charging for iPhones and 30W wired output, enough to charge an iPhone 17 about twice. It uses 17 strong rubidium magnets with 12.8N attraction, ATL cells, and supports real-time battery temperature monitoring via an app. Anker says the product meets China’s 2026 safety standards and passed puncture, compression and thermal chamber tests. The unit targets mobile power users seeking MagSafe-style convenience with faster wired charging.
Anker has launched the Anker Lingguang Smart Display Charger Pro, a GaN Type-C fast charger co-branded with Chinese game Black Myth: Wukong, priced at ¥699 on JD. The compact charger uses Anker’s stacked architecture and a sculpted tie-in design with embossed armor texture, gold accents and a custom UI. Technically it is billed as the world’s first with TÜV Rheinland certification for its class, delivers up to 140W from a single port and up to 160W across three ports, and supports 1W-level adjustable power allocation plus three preset distribution modes. The product targets gamers and power users who need high-density, customizable multi-device fast charging.
Anker Innovation (安克创新) acknowledged it had an excessive number of charging-product SKUs—reporting about 100 power bank models in 2024—during its 2025 annual shareholders’ meeting. The company said managing quality across so many variants was untenable and has already cut charging product SKUs by roughly 70% over the past 18 months. It plans to reduce the remaining models by another 50%–70% over the next 18 months. The disclosure accompanies Anker’s Q1 2026 financials: revenue 7.608 billion CNY (+26.9% YoY) and net profit attributable to shareholders 472 million CNY (-4.87% YoY), with operating cash flow turning negative. The SKU rationalization aims to improve product quality control and operational efficiency.
