It’s been quite a few years since smartphone brands like Apple, Samsung, and Google stopped including a power adapter in the box, arguing that you probably already have one. Nothing has followed the same strategy since the beginning. Meanwhile, battery capacities and charging speeds have continued to rise. The iPhone 12, which marked Apple’s first move away from including a charging adapter in the box, supported 20W wired charging. The iPhone 17 can now charge at up to 40W.
Fortunately, all of the smartphone brands mentioned above use the open USB Power Delivery standard rather than proprietary charging protocols. That gives you the freedom to choose a charger that best suits your needs, whether you want one that can charge your phone and accessories simultaneously, or one powerful enough to charge both your phone and laptop. Here are some of the best options to consider in 2026.
1. Anker Prime 67W GaN (3-port)
This is one of the safest everyday picks. It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A, delivers a full 67W on a single USB-C when used alone, and still pushes useful power when you plug in a phone and an accessory at the same time. PPS support is strong, so Galaxy phones hit their proper fast-charging speeds. It’s compact, runs relatively cool, and the foldable plug makes it travel-friendly. It’s listed for $49.99 on the company’s global website.
2. Ugreen Nexode 65W / 100W series
Ugreen’s Nexode chargers are the value kings right now. The 65W three-port version (2C + 1A) is small, has solid PPS, and handles a phone + tablet or light laptop just fine. Step up to the 100W models (some with three or four ports) and you get full-speed laptop charging plus room for a phone and accessories at the same time. Power distribution is smart, heat is well managed, and they’re consistently cheaper than the premium brands for very similar performance. The 65W version is priced at £39.99 or Rs. 4,199 on regional websites.
3. Baseus PicoGo 67W (3-port)
If you want something pocketable that still does multi-device work, the PicoGo 67W 3-port is worth a look. Two USB-C ports + one USB-A, 67W max on a single port, and it supports PD + PPS so both iPhones and Samsungs charge at full speed. It’s noticeably smaller than most 65W+ chargers, has a foldable plug, and the power split when multiple devices are connected is sensible (laptop still gets priority while a phone tops up alongside).
4. Anker Prime 100W GaN (3-port)
When you regularly charge a laptop and a phone together, this Anker Prime 100W (3-port) is the cleaner step-up. Single-port output hits the full 100W, so 13–14-inch MacBooks and Windows ultrabooks charge at full speed. Plug in a second device and it still allocates power intelligently. Same reliable Anker build, ActiveShield temperature monitoring, and proper PPS support for Android phones.
5. Cuktech 10 Ultra 110W (4-port)
The Cuktech 10 Ultra 110W (4-port) stands out if you like seeing exactly what’s happening. Three USB-C ports + one USB-A, up to 100W on the main ports, 110W total, and a bright color screen that shows real-time wattage, voltage, and current per port. It supports PD 3.0 + PPS (plus a few extra protocols), so it works well with phones, tablets, and laptops. A bit bulkier than the pure travel chargers, but excellent for a desk or when you want to charge several devices at once without guessing power allocation.
