Anker has released a 45W GaN charger with a smart display that is currently on sale for $25.99 at Amazon, a 35% discount from its original price of $40.
The charger is a compact and fast accessory that can quickly charge devices such as iPhones, tablets, and wireless earbuds. With a typical street price of $30, the deal is still a good one for a speedy accessory charger.
At up to 45W, the charger can take an iPhone 17 Pro from empty to 50% in about 20 minutes, making it a convenient option for recharging on the go. The GaN technology used in the charger is more power efficient, produces less heat, and is more compact than older USB adapters.
The charger features a dual-foldable prong design, allowing it to fit into tight spaces, and has a single USB-C port. It also comes with a smart display that shows real-time charging status, although it only works with iPhones and iPads from the last couple of years.
With the tap of a button, users can switch between charging modes, including a "Care Mode" that is slower but at a lower temperature, suitable for overnight charging. The charger also has a Power Adjustment feature that tunes its output to the device's battery level, delivering speed when needed and easing off as the device fills up.
The Anker 45W GaN charger is a barebones, no-nonsense accessory that is great for phones, tablets, wireless earbuds, and more. At $25.99, it is a good option as a main charger or as a backup.
