Some of these chargers even adhere to the Qi charging standard, allowing you to charge some devices wirelessly. If you want to learn more about fast charging, make sure to read our guide to everything you need to know about USB-C before charging into our collection of the best fast chargers. The best part is Anker’s PowerIQ 3.0 technology can charge most devices 2.5 times faster than a standard charger. If you’re planning to travel with this charger, then its speed guarantees you’ll spend minimal time at the airport charging station. It’s important to note the PowerPort Atom III is a wall charger only, so you’ll need to use the existing charging cables for your devices or invest in a USB-C cable to really take advantage of its speed. That said, you can only take full advantage of its fast-charging capabilities if you have a mobile device with Qualcomm Quick Charge technology—this includes phones made by Sony, LG, HTC, Xiaomi, and more. For newer devices with Quick Charge 3.0 (the most recent version of this technology), the Anker 18W Wall Charger can charge your device up to 80% battery in just 35 minutes. This charger also has cooling features and surge protection to keep your electronics safe and prevent overheating. As long as you have a USB-C-compatible cable, this charger can power up all kinds of devices. RAVPower does note, however, that it can’t fast-charge devices that are connected using an adapter, like a USB-C to USB-A dongle. This charger is available in both black and white. Unfortunately, the PowerPort Mini doesn’t support Qualcomm Quick Charge, but its PowerIQ technology can automatically adjust to the optimum power output for any device you connect to it. That means you save an average of one hour of charging time every time you need to power something up from zero. With a tiny form factor, dual charging, high speeds, and universal USB-A support, the PowerPort Mini will be your new favorite travel companion. Samsung owners will benefit most from the Anker PowerWave Stand—it’s capable of delivering 10W fast-charging for the Galaxy Note 7 and newer and the Galaxy S6 edge+ and newer. All other Qi-enabled phones, including iPhones (iPhone 8 and newer) and Google Pixel models, will max out at 5W charging, which isn’t much faster than the standard speed. It’s also compatible with the Nintendo Switch and GoPro cameras, so it really can replace multiple chargers. No matter what you need to connect, Nekteck can detect optimal power inputs for different kinds of devices and adjust accordingly. This charger comes with an included 6.6-foot USB-C cable and has international voltage compatibility (AC 100-240V), making it a smart choice for travelers.
