Staff pick
Anker's latest upgrade does it all. Folding prongs for great portability, 30W charging maximum, and a smart chip inside this GaN charger to ensure your phone, smartwatch, or tablet is getting the right wattage at all times. It's also tiny at 70% reduced size when compared to the original Anker 30W charger.
Perfect pocket charger
If you need quick charging but don't have a ton of extra cargo space, the Mophie Speedport 30 offers 30W PD charging with a compact size thanks to GaN technology. You can get it in white or black, and Mophie makes version with more or less power if you need it.
Charge your computer, too
This more expensive charger is worth the price because it's one charger that can give your smartphone, tablet, and even laptop a boost. It boasts an impressive 120W power with four ports including both USB-C and USB-A. Don't worry because it has the technology to intelligently detect what's plugged in and deliver the necessary power to recharge it optimally.
Galaxy-geared
While Samsung doesn't pack it in the box with it's Galaxy S phones anymore, this 25W charger is the perfect match with PD support and a new compact size thanks to GaN construction. It even comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable in white or black colors.
Best for tight spaces
Do you need a wall charger for an area with tight clearance, like between a nightstand and the wall? Nekmit's sleek 52W charger will fit back there easily. It has two 20W USB-C Power Delivery ports and two standard USB outputs.
Looks like a retro computer, can power a new one
This charger from Sharge can deliver up to 67W of power from a single USB-C port, enough for a laptop. If you use all three ports, you can still get up to 45W charging on the bottom port. The display even tells you how much juice you're pulling.
Cable included
This charging bundle includes a multi-port 65W Power Delivery charger and a USB-C cable, everything you need to charge your Chromebook, laptop, tablet, and phone in one compact, easy-to-carry package. It's even powerful enough to recharge your computer, too.
More USB-C ports in one
No matter how many posts a USB-C charger has, it never seems like enough. This 100W charger doesn't have one PD USB-C port and a bunch of USB-As but a single USB-A and three USB-Cs. Despite the higher cost because of this, you'll appreciate being able to charge all your devices, including your phone, more quickly and at once.
Charge it all at once
This is a hybrid between those big bulky desktop charging stations and slimmer, smaller wall chargers. You get one USB-C port that offers up to 45W for laptops and three USB-A ports for smaller or older accessories that don't support PD.
Single port or multi-port: How to pick the best phone charger
There are a lot of features and priorities to try and juggle when picking the fastest phone charger, but here's the easiest way to narrow down your search quickly: How many devices do you need to charge at one time? If you only need something to plug your phone into the wall, grab the Anker Nano or Mophie Speedport 30 and get on with your day. Both are super-small and durable, and they should last you through at least two phones, so long as you don't yeet 'em out a window or step on one accidentally. Anker has color choices, and Mophie has folding prongs, so both are winners.
But what about if you consistently need to charge your phone and your laptop? What if you need to charge your phone and your smartwatch? Are there any music addicts like me who need to recharge their earbuds every night? That's where a great charger with two or more ports changes the game. The four-port 120W charger from Spigen and the Nekmit 52W 4-Port Wall Charger are good options with plenty of power to charge a laptop, phone, tablet, and Bluetooth speaker simultaneously.
While you're expanding your charging collection, consider that a wall charger can't do you any good if there's nowhere to plug in while you're walking around a theme park or stuck in economy on a cross-country flight. Instead, a good power bank is the perfect companion to your new wall charger, and reliable USB-C power banks have never been more affordable. They're a great way to top up any of the best Android phones!
In my own travel backpack, I always bring along a wall charger with multiple ports (both USB-C and USB-A) as well as several charging banks. Don't forget: you'll need a port on that handy wall charger to power up the charging bank, too! Bottom line: invest well in the fastest phone charger money can buy so you get the most use out of it.
