Anker's new hub has a 240Hz display built into the side — for monitoring your ports

Anker has announced a 10-in-1 USB-C hub with a 240Hz display built into its body — not for gaming, but for showing live system data like per-port power draw and storage speeds. The model, called the Nano USB-C Hub 10-in-1 Display Edition (A210C), launches in Japan this fall at ¥16,990 (around $107). No US or UK availability has been confirmed.

The display

The built-in screen pairs with Anker's companion app, letting you choose what information appears on the hub's body: port temperatures, charging wattage, transfer speeds. The idea is to keep that data off your main monitor. Whether a 240Hz refresh rate makes any practical difference for numbers that change a few times per second is a fair question — but it is the first consumer USB-C hub to offer it, per Notebookcheck.

The ports

The front panel carries a USB-C port at 10Gbps and full-size SD and microSD card slots — useful for photographers and video editors who'd rather not reach around to the back of a PC. Around the rear: USB-C Power Delivery at up to 100W, three USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, and DisplayPort 1.4. Both video outputs support 4K at 144Hz, which puts it in range of gaming monitor territory and makes it more than just an office dock.

The competition and the catch

Anker's existing 10-in-1 hubs — the A8376 Monitor Stand and A8395 563 — already sell on Amazon US and Amazon UK for $99–$130, but without the screen. The CalDigit TS4, a common high-end rival, sits at around $160. The A210C's $107 price point is competitive if it reaches Western markets, but that remains unconfirmed.

Anker's US site and major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Scan in the UK list no pre-order or release date as of late May 2026. The company has not issued a press release indicating plans for EU or North American availability. The hub measures 130×56×50mm and weighs 300g — solid enough to stay put on a desk, but not something you'd toss in a bag.

Worth watching

The display concept itself is genuinely new for USB-C hubs and could appeal to anyone who keeps a system monitor app running in the corner of their screen. Whether Anker brings the A210C to the US and UK — and at what price — will determine whether it's a niche curiosity or a real alternative to the hubs already sitting on Amazon's bestseller lists.
