Last July, Qualcomm announced Quick Charge 5, its latest charging protocol that brings support for 100W+ charging to mobile phones. So far, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and the ROG Phone 5 series are the only phones that support the charging protocol. While we wait for more devices that support the charging protocol to be announced, Baseus has a new charger that supports Quick Charge 5 alongside other charging protocols.
The Baseus Gan Fast Charger 100W, as it is officially called, is a single-port USB-C power brick. The charger has a black/white casing with a foldable plug design and an LED at the corner. It is pretty small too – Baseus says it is 40% smaller than Apple’s 96W USB-C charger – and its dimensions are given as 67mm x 30mm x 55mm.
The manufacturer says it has BCT (Baseus Cooling Technology) which “uses nanotechnology to accelerate cooling”. Apart from being Quick Charge 5 certified, the charger also supports other charging protocols such as Quick Charge 4.0+, Power Delivery 3.0, and PPS.
The Baseus Gan Fast Charger 100W can charge Apple MacBooks (16” and 13” pro models), Huawei MateBooks, Lenovo ThinkPad X, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPhone 12 series, and phones from Xiaomi, Honor, and Samsung.
The charger has a price tag of ¥299 (~$46) but those who preorder between today and the 10th of April will be able to grab it for ¥199 (~$30). It is available on JD.com in Black and White color variants.
