Belkin is taking a swing at Anker’s dominance in the compact charger space with a new 70-watt wall adapter that checks all the familiar boxes — but comes in cheaper.
The BoostCharge Pro 3-Port GaN Wall Charger 70W just popped up on Amazon for $39.99 (Rs. 3,577). That’s roughly ten bucks less than a similarly specced Anker Nano model. And on paper, the feature set is basically the same: two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and enough juice to keep a MacBook and a couple of smaller gadgets happy at the same time.
Running a single USB-C device lets you pull the full 70W from this GaN charger. When charging two devices simultaneously, power gets split to 45W and 25W (or 45W and 22.5W, depending on what you plug in). Fill all three ports, and it maxes out at 45W for a laptop plus 12W/12W for accessories. Nothing groundbreaking there, but it’s right in the sweet spot for everyday travel setups.
It supports universal charging protocols such as PD 3.1 and PPS for wider compatibility. The company claims it supports “all PD-enabled devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones); and supports earbuds, watches, power banks,” and can take an iPhone 16 Pro from dead to 50% in around 27 minutes, or a Galaxy S25 in about 26. Pretty typical numbers, but still reassuring if you’re always racing the battery percent.
The real win here is size. It’s tiny — just 1.65 × 1.5 × 2.13 inches — and the foldable prongs finally mean one less thing snagging in a backpack.
There’s one small catch: Belkin doesn’t include a cable in the box. For a lot of people, that’s no big deal — most of us already have more USB-C cords than devices at this point. But if you’re still relying on the single cable that came with your phone or laptop, you’ll probably want to grab an extra or two to actually use all three ports at once.
If you regularly travel with a laptop, phone, and something like earbuds or a watch, this might be the kind of accessory you stick in your bag and forget about — until the moment you’re grateful it’s there. For now, Belkin’s new 70W GaN charger looks like one of the better value picks in a very crowded field.
