Accessory makers and smartphone OEMs have been lately releasing a number of GaN (Gallium Nitride) chargers in the market. Just a few days back, we saw a 2-in-1 45W GaN Charger cum 10,000 mAh power bank by Baseus. Now, 360, another popular accessory brand has launched its 65W GaN charger with support for a wide variety of charging standards.
The new 360 GaN charger is similar to the Meizu SuperCharged GaN charger released at the launch of Meizu 17 series. Both have three ports – 2 x USB Type-C (65W, 30W) and 1 x USB Type-A female (24W), in addition to foldable electric pin.
Being a Nitride charger, it is comparatively smaller in size than the standard charges that utilize silicon. It measures only 76 x 39 x 34mm in dimensions for a 65W charger weighing 144g For context, it is 45% smaller than Apple 61W charger and 40% smaller than other common 65W chargers.
It supports all sorts of charging protocols such as USB Power Delivery (PD) 2.0 / 3.0, Qualcomm Quick Charger (QC) 2.0 / 3.0, Huawei SuperCharge Protocol (SCP), HiSilicon Fast Charging Protocol (FCP), Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC), and others.
These standards are enough to use this charger for almost every gadget out there, be it a smartphone, a tablet or a laptop. That is the USP (unique selling proposition) of this product.
The 360 65W GaN charger is priced at only 169 Yuan ($24) and is currently limited to China. Since the brand has its presence in other countries, this charger might be soon available elsewhere.
