Remember the Elephone AnyCharger adapter? It’s back, and this time it’s real!

Yash GargOctober 7, 2016

Elephone had announced a few months back a gadget that I think deserved some attention. Sadly though, it was nowhere to be seen weeks after the announcement. Well, news is that the Elephone AnyCharger is back and hopefully it’ll be shipping this time!

If you hadn’t seen it the first time around, let me quickly remind you what it’s all about — the AnyCharger is basically an adapter that aims to clutter-free your desk. This means, it has outlets for multiple USB charging ports, and one for a laptop port.

While I do have my reservations about the efficiency of this gadget, I definitely don’t doubt the efficacy of it. The ports include a Qualcomm QC2.0 compliant port (5V/9V/12V/2A), two 5V/2A USB ports, and a 19.4V/4.74A port for laptop charging.

I’m not sure if I got it right, but it appears as thought the AnyCharger will come with a MacBook compatible cable to use with the laptop charging outlet. Check out some real photos below:

This one does look interesting to me, and hopefully we’ll have a unit to review soon! That said, it does appear like Elephone’s gadget designer was running short on battery on his phone and had a power bank in his hands while making up the design for this. 😉

    It is a joke. If you were Egyptian you would understand it.
    It was said by a very very famous Egyptian actor in a movie haha

Tell me if I understand correctly. It isn’t a power bank, it’s simply a power supply, is correct?

Another day, another Elephone ad….
Another week, another new Elephone product….
I really wish they would concentrate more on support and updates/bug fixes for there existing range rather than constantly announcing new devices **Roll eyes**

Me too, when I saw the photo I got confused and thought it was a power bank, maybe because in this period we see power bank anywhere.
Instead, what I don’t understand, is if you can charge, for example, the notebook or other apparatuses, differents from smartphones and another question is if the cables are included or you have to buy it apart.

The story behind the design is pretty interesting though. Should it be called a power bank? Or something else? Which category it would be in?

Surely I looked at the pictures with much pleasure … 🙂
Seriously, I think I understand that you can charge anything that has an operation at 5 / 9 or 12 Volts.
I think for different voltages should not be used, but maybe I’m wrong, it would be appropriate that the staff intervene, in order to explain better this respect.

I will not explain myself, the usefulness of this product.
If you can use it, only attaching the cable to the house current, what is its utility? We did not have a power supply yet?
Or maybe the fact that I can simultaneously charge multiple things, should convince me to spend 45 euro?

You understand very well, it’s pretty much a power supply. Unlike that with this power supply you can charge almost everything and with the advantage of also having the quick charge.

Lovely! I saw this when they announced it way back and i thought it was weird there were no other news about it. Looks nice and i think it’s something you’d use frequently too!

This looks pretty! I mean, there’s never enough charging ports, so why not have even more? Haha

I find it really useful to have one of these things at home, i have been using one from another company, but it has kinda worn out, so i am thinking of getting this one

So nice and a different power adapter. I think it would be a good travel mate. I’m seeing this kind of device for the 1st time.

OMG a powerbank ! What a surprising product ! And a pair of legs to sell it !
How do they get so innovative at Elephone ?

  It’s not a powerbank. But you can see all the scam comments under us, from all the Elefraud employees. I counted at least 11 of those scammers. What a serious company…

  Woooow what a Great, Big, Huge invention…..
  there is really nothing like this one…..
  The other ‘non-existent’ universal Power Adapters are from the stone age.
  So we have all forgotten such thing could exist.
  So it’s a something new and revolutionary invention…
  (….somehow sounds like an Apple marketing approach….)
  Those small universal power adapter with USB have been long extinct like HP, Be Quiet!, Huntkey, Cooler Master, Targus…..
  I’ll just chuck away my small portable universal power adapter with USB charging ports straight away…
  I’ll go for this Big huge ‘fill my suitcase’ solution with a ‘free girl included’ special offer. Much more visible to others when you use it. And I can finally fill my suitcase….
