Yeah I like the look of this - so many of my devices have a decent-sized brick at the port. I don’t have 12 devices to plug in, but this would be useful just for the real estate.
Anker has a new 12 Outlets, 3 USB Ports Surge Protector PowerPort Strip
That is probably the most densely populated surge protector I’ve ever seen. I don’t think it’s too practical for me since I don’t need that many plugs in one location. I can only imagine all the cables that lie around it.
Will be there an Europe edition? Because US and UK plugs are useless to me.
I can’t see this product being released outside the US!
Like lots of their other products.
Wow! 
And it still works?
Hey I still have a VCR and I also have a laser disc. …and an old 8 track tape player that all still work

I use it maybe once a year. The VCR works great but the old taped family videos are losing their quality. I may have to bite the bullet and take the time to transfer them to a storage drive. Just seems like the old videos are more enjoyable when you have to make the effort to watch them 
This is so useful to have I hope they could do an UK version too!
Looks good. I have a 12 socket power strip from Belkin which I really like but it doesn’t have USB ports. If I didn’t already have a similar product, I would get this. Built-in home automation would be a great extra feature on this.
I just spent 11 days elapsed in the UK / Ireland electric system and overall I have to encounter the EU and the US / Canada systems.
The issue with the UK system is frankly a weird plug. It is huge. There is no 2 pin version only 3 pin, and imagine a 12 3 pin UK type extension cord “gang”. It would likely have to be physically twice the size.
The US plug in comparison is so tiny wee cute little thing I often carry USA electrical devices and plug just a UK adapter on the end to only interface 1 socket with the UK plug.
I actually prefer to travel with a USA 3-socket extension cord, USA Powerport and a single US-UK adapter as its more flexible and smaller than doing it the UK way. A USA 3-socket is a fraction of the size of a UK equivalent. I can upload photos of my international collection of electrics if you challenge me!
I think that’s why out extension leads are limited to 4/6/8 sockets. I’m sure Anker could make one for us. I’ve seen other 4 port extensions with USB ports in Asda. They will sell all day long.
I’ve got a couple of 8 gang surge protectors each comes with 3 USB ports and I love it. But yeah our plug size in UK would be a factor as it would be huge to have have 12+ sockets.
Now if there was a 8 gang with even more usb slots I would consider buying it.
Is that the name of a new gang? The 8 Gang Surge Protectors?

Hopefully Anker makes a smart plug surge protector with individually controlled sockets some time soon. I have seen a few from other manufacturers on Amazon.

That is the next logical step. Merge multiple sockets with Wifi smart Eufy control.
Along with smart built-in-wall dual types as its cleaner neater.
I own two Smart Plugs and one of them is further away from Wifi router and sometimes does not respond, so I think Wifi is the limiting factor.

You should pick 1 or 2 tp-link dual band repeaters they are relatively cheap and work very well. That will make your connection with your smart plugs rock-solid.
You could also repurpose an old router with dd-wrt software to act as a repeater.
If you need a router extender I have a few similar to the one @jesse_hernandez1 posted. I can send it to you if you would like
