Holiday season is upon us and its time to shop. So many deals, so many offers and so many choices. There are enough good deals at this time of the years o I like to focus on some interesting and great products. My experience with Anker has been nothing short of great with chargers, battery packs, power banks and especially ear/headphones from Anker’s brand Soundcore. Here are 5 amazing products from Anker for your Holiday shopping this year.

How often do you feel that your charger is not fast enough, or not small enough or both? Anker Nano solves both those problems in one little powerful device. Here’s what you get:

High-Speed Charging: Equipped with a USB-C Power Delivery port and loaded with 18W of power to charge phones, tablets, and more up to 2.5× faster than with an original charger.
Unbelievably Small: Anker Nano’s ultra-compact design is just 1 inch thick, packing 18W of power into a device the size of a 5W iPhone charger for incredible portability.
Universal Compatibility: Anker’s exclusive PowerIQ 3.0 technology supports a wide range of charging protocols to ensure flawless compatibility and optimized charging speeds for virtually any mobile device.
Highly-Integrated Technology: Anker’s latest technology uses a stacked design with custom magnetic components to reduce size, boost efficiency, and improve heat dissipation.

Anker PowerPort III Duo 60W

Sometimes bigger is better, and that’s what the older brother of Nano does. It’s bigger but can charge 2 devices simultaneously, including tablets, iPads and even MacBooks etc. Here’s what you get:

Designed for Travel: With an ultra-compact design that supports simultaneous laptop charging and interchangeable plugs for use in the US, UK, and Europe, this is the ultimate travel charger.

PowerCore III 10K Wireless

Anker made it’s name with power banks and battery packs. They are still one of the best when it comes to that. This particular power bank is so much more and definitely one of the best of the lot. This is a wireless charger and battery pack. Here’s what you get:

Portable Wireless Charging: Qi-certified to provide up to 10W of wireless charging power to phones, earbuds, or other devices on the go.
High-Speed USB Charging: Connect to either the USB-C or USB-A port to give your phone or tablet a powerful charge up to 18W.
Desktop Mode: Use PowerCore as a wireless pad by connecting to a power supply via the USB-C port. Charge your device wirelessly while giving PowerCore’s internal battery a full recharge.

Bolder LC90 Flashlight

We mostly use our phones as flashlights now, but there are times when you definitely feel it’s not enough. Either it’s a power outage due to snowstorm, or stepping out to fix your holiday lights, or shovel that snow, you can use a real flashlight. Anker’s Bolder flashlights are perfect for that. Here’s what you get.

SUPER-BRIGHT: A 900-lumen Cree LED emits a stunningly powerful beam. Sweep bright light over the length of two football fields and reach nearly 660 ft (200 m). Features zoom and 5 adaptable settings: High / Medium / Low / Strobe / SOS.

TOUGH & RELIABLE: IPX5-rated water resistant and designed for use in heavy rain. Its durable aluminum body and shock-resistance endure rough handling.
TACTICAL BUILD: The extra-long handle and scalloped-bezel provide are built for striking purposes.

Soundcore Life Q30

Last, but not at all the least. I love Soundcore brand by Anker. The products are premium quality at an amazingly affordable price. This Life Q30 is exactly the same. Here’s what you get:

Hi-Res Certified Music: Hear every detail of your favorite songs thanks to Life Q30’s 40mm drivers. The highly-flexible silk diaphragms reproduce thumping bass and crisp treble that extends up to 40kHz for improved clarity.
Advanced Noise Cancellation Technology: Maintain your focus with Life Q30’s hybrid active noise cancellation. Dual noise-detecting microphones pick up and filter out up to 95% of low-frequency ambient sound to ensure nothing distracts you from your music.
Ultimate Noise Cancellation Experience: Customize Life Q30’s noise cancellation with 3 modes—Transport minimizes airplane engine noise, Outdoor reduces traffic and wind, and Indoor dampens the sound of busy offices with people talking in the background.
40-Hour Playtime: Life Q30 active noise cancelling headphones play up to 40 hours of music in noise cancelling mode. Standard mode extends the playtime to 60 hours, while a short 5-minute charge gives you 4 hours of listening.
Pressure-Free Comfort: Life Q30 active noise cancelling headphones have ultra-soft protein leather earcups with memory foam padding to fit snugly over your ears. The lightweight build also ensures they’re comfortable for long listening sessions.

So here’s few amazing products for your Holiday Shopping this year. I have tried them all and not one that I don’t like or actively use right now. Especially the headphones!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

An alarm clock is an integral part of our existence. Every morning we wakeup to the cry of an alarm clock, and many of us cannot function without one. Even though smartphones come equipped with alarms and have replaced the traditional alarm clocks, many people still prefer the old school bedside alarm clock. They show time, function as a reliable alarm clock, and if you have an FM Alarm clock, they serve as your source of morning news and such.

Souncore Wakey does all of that and more. It is a modern take on the traditional bedside FM Alarm Clock, with many additional functions which make complete sense for today, without useless gimmicks. Wakey simplifies your nightstand set-up by combining everything you need for a peaceful night’s sleep and a refreshing morning into one compact bedside speaker. Here’s what you get:

Alarm Clock - Wakey’s front panel features an LED display that adapts its brightness to ambient light levels and a touch bar to let you snooze the alarm, adjust the volume, and access the FM radio and Bluetooth. Wakey lets you save up to 15 unique alarms for when you need to get up at different times during the week. Personalize your wake up call by choosing from 10 alarm sounds, including the FM radio.
FM Radio: This FM radio works without your phone or WiFi, its normal FM. You get an additional FM antenna, that you can use for better reception (mine worked just fine, without antenna). You can access it through your app as well to store up to 10 radio stations to ensure you have instant access to your favorite sources of music, news, and more.
Bluetooth Stereo Speaker: Connect your device to Wakey using the ultra-stable Bluetooth connection for skip-free streaming of music, podcasts, and more.
White Noise Generator: Select 1 of 10 different sounds from nature or choose multiple to compose your own personal mix.
Fast-Wireless Charging: Remove messy cables from your nightstand and place your Qi-compatible phone on top of Wakey for fast wireless charging. The Anker-powered charger delivers 10W fast-charging for Samsung S10, S10+, S9, S9+, S8, S8+, and Note 9 and 7.5W for iPhone XR, XS Max, XS, X, and 8 Plus.
Additional USB Charger: In addition to Wakey’s wireless charger, there are an extra two USB ports concealed on the back to charge more devices.

It really works great, without much hassle. The clock and Alarm feature are great. The clock LED display auto adjusts brightness, and you can even set it up to shutdown after certain time, if you like your room completely dark. The control on the front panel are quiet hands, so you are not reaching out to your phone all the time.

The ambient noise which works through the app (would have been nice if it was an inbuilt feature, like the FM), but you could do it with any bluetooth speaker. But this is a already a good bedside bluetooth speaker - Wakey’s dual drivers fuel perfectly-balanced 10W sound. You can listen to in-bult FM or your personal music, podcasts or whatever you want through your smartphone.

The wireless charger is a very useful feature, more than I ever thought. It’s nice to have a wireless charger on your bedside, not needing to plug and unplug your phone every night and morning. Just so you know, it’s wired device (no battery option) and comes with the charger. That works just fine as a bedside device.

You can checkout more details on the official product website here, and buy it through Amazon here.

Also - If you are on a tighter budget, or you are in market for just a good wireless charger or wireless charging stand, you could also look at this Anker PowerWave 7.5 Fast Wireless Charging Stand. It works with all wirelessly-charged phones, including the latest iPhone (7.5W) and Samsung flagship phones (10W). It has ANKER’s exclusive Wave Boost technology, which uses advanced components and a state-of-the-art cooling system to charge up to 30% faster than other wireless chargers. It requires a Quick Charge 3.0 wall charger, which is included in this bundle (Tip - If you happen to have a compatible charger laying around, you could buy it without charger and save some money).

You can charge both in landscape orientation while watching videos, or portrait mode for messaging and facial recognition. It’s also case friendly: You don't have to fumble with your phone case. Power Wave transmits charging power directly through protective cases. It also has non-slip surface made of premium TPU coating, which prevents slipping and sliding.

You could use this at your bedside (and get some of the function of a bedside alarm clock sans bluetooth speaker), on your office desk, living room or wherever you may like. Buy it through Amazon here.

With Amazon Prime Day approaching in a week, make sure to take advantage of these suggestions and buy all the wonderful products that you have been anting and needing for a while. Happy shopping, happy priming!
