The Anker 100W USB-C Phone Charger is a three-port GaN wall adapter with two USB-C ports rated at 100W each and one USB-A port rated at 33W. A 100W max output on either USB-C port handles full-speed laptop charging on compatible devices such as the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. The built-in smart display shows real-time charging status, temperature, and per-port power output, with a capacitive touch button to cycle through readouts. A foldable plug and a compact frame make the charger easy to slip into a backpack or coat pocket. The kit includes a 5-foot USB-C-to-USB-C cable and an 18-month warranty.
A handy way to keep your phone charged with less wall space
The Anker delivers laptop-grade output in a body the size of a typical phone charger. Each of the two USB-C ports can deliver 100W on its own, enough to fully charge a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at its rated speed. The USB-A port at 33W handles tablets, phones, and accessory devices such as earbuds or smartwatches. The foldable plug folds flat for travel and doesn’t catch on cables or pocket linings.
There’s a smart display on the front of the charger that shows how much wattage each port is using and the device’s current temperature. A capacitive button lets you flip through these stats easily. The readout makes it much easier to diagnose why a device isn’t fast charging, and it’s unusual to see a charger in this price range with any display beyond a simple LED indicator.
When multiple ports are in use, the charger automatically distributes power based on connected devices. With both USB-C ports active, the split is around 70W and 30W, which is enough for a laptop on one and a phone or tablet on the other. A low-current mode activates when a device stays at or below 5W for a minute, letting earbuds or a smartwatch charge alongside a laptop without slowing it down.
GaN technology enables such a potent charger to be so small. GaN runs cooler and more efficiently, allowing the three-port design in such a small footprint. Anker has been refining GaN charger design across its lineup for years, and this three-port model with the smart display is one of the better travel options yet.
This is one of the better travel charger upgrades on the market. The three GaN-powered ports, full 100W output, and built-in smart display make the Anker an easy recommendation. The $20 drop from $70 to $50 turns it into a real deal.
