Description
I've reviewed a lot of chargers over the years, and most of them are just a brick you plug in. The AOHI 170W AI charger tries something different: a built-in color display, Bluetooth, a phone app, three charging modes and control over how power is split between ports. In this video I open the box, go through the ports and power limits, test it at my desk with a camera and a laptop, and look at the app and the firmware updates.
Key specs (from AOHI's spec sheet):
- 170W total output, two USB-C ports up to 140W each (PD 3.1, PPS), one USB-A up to 30W
- Total output is limited to 170W, so two 140W devices will not both get 140W
- Color display shows per-port power, temperature and the active mode
- Turbo, Smart and Manual modes, switched in the app over Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi needed)
- Foldable plug, 75 x 45 x 38 mm, 337 g
- Firmware updates supported
Price at time of editing: US$99.99 sale / US$139.99 list on iaohi.com (check the page for the current price).

Question for you: would you actually use a charger with a display and Bluetooth, or do you want one that is just plug in and done? Tell me in the comments.
