The best USB chargers to buy this Black Friday
- Ugreen Nexode 65 W: $22 @ Amazon
- Anker Prime 100 W: $42 @ Amazon
- Ugreen Nexode 200 W: $70 @ Amazon
Starting with something that's cheap, cheerful, and chargeful, Ugreen's Nexode range of GaN (gallium nitride) USB chargers is ideal for anyone who needs to fast charge a phone or handheld gaming PC. This entry-level model is just $23 at Amazon, and it's rated to 65 W, so you'll have a freshly powered-up phone in no time at all.
The prongs rotate out of the way for ease of portability, plus they're nice and thick, ensuring that the charger holds snuggly into wall sockets—especially well-worn ones in hotels. You only get two USB Type-C and one Type-A ports, and the 65 W power delivery is shared across them, but you really can't complain for the money.
If 65 W isn't enough for you, then how about this 100 W model from Anker? Sure, it's quite a big jump in price, but that extra power offers a lot more headroom to charge up a laptop and phone at the same time.
Just like the Ugreen Nexode, the total power is shared across all three ports, but at least both USB-C outputs can deliver 100 W. Its prongs also fold out of the way so it can fit into a small pocket in your carry-on luggage.
If power is absolutely everything to you, and you don't give two hoots about maximum portability, then get yourself a charging station. More importantly, get this Ugreen charging station because it has six USB Type-C ports (and two Type-A), plus a total of 200 W of juicy power.
Unlike the Anker charger, the ports aren't all equal, though. The top three Type-C are rated to 100 W apiece, the next two are 30 W, with the final Type-C and both Type-As being 15 W. That might not sound amazing, but altogether, you could fast charge a laptop or handheld PC, phone, set of earbuds and a smart watch all at the same time.
If you don't dig the vertical look, you can always pop it out of its stand and have it lying flat on your office desk.
