Charge your phone faster with Anker’s $15 USB-C GaN charger

GaN chargers are the future, so now’s as good a time as any to get ahead of the curve and start benefiting from them sooner than later.

Right now, this Anker Nano USB-C GaN charger is on sale for $15 at Amazon, which is a nice 35 percent off its normal price.

There are several advantages to upgrading to GaN chargers. Our very own resident in-house expert Gordon Ung made the switch after realizing just how much power they pack despite how tiny they are, plus how much luggage space he can save while on the go.

Those advantages exist here, with this Anker Nano GaN charger being both compact and lightweight. Yet despite that, it’s able to deliver faster and more efficient charging compared to similar non-GaN alternatives, and it generates less heat (a nice bonus in the summer).

This Anker Nano model features a single USB-C port and is capable of up to 30W output, meaning it can fast charge nearly all iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones, plus iPads and tablets. It’s also compatible with Apple’s MagSafe wireless chargers. (It can even work with laptops, but don’t expect full-speed charging on high-end ones.)

And if you want to take it with you while you travel or commute, know that the prongs fold in for extra protection and even less space taken up. It’s tiny enough that you could even carry it around in your pocket.

If you’re still stuck on an older 5W wall charger, this is a must-buy upgrade, especially when you can get it for just $15 right now on Amazon. It’s not a deal to miss!
