If you rewind time 5 or 6 years ago, you’ll see that we didn’t carry as many devices as we do today. Today we typically carry around a laptop, a smartphone, a smartwatch, headphones and so much more. While these devices make our lives easier, it also comes at the price of having to charge these devices frequently and sometimes on a daily basis. Enter GaN Chargers.
These chargers remove the need for you to carry around a charger for each and every device you use and their compatibility with devices increases everyday. Here are the reasons why you should consider switching to these chargers over the typical chargers you get in a device’s box.
Diverse fast charging standards
What seemed to be a persistent problem with third-party chargers is now solved, you won’t have to worry about the charger not supporting fast charging for your different devices. For instance, if we take a look at Anker’s PowerPort III 65 Watt charger you’ll find that it supports most fast charging standards like PPS (Programmable power supply) and Type-C PD (Power delivery) in other words. You’ll have fast charging from Apple and most Android phones in addition to 65 Watt charging for your laptop over a type-C port.
Having a charger that rules them all is a great feature to have especially if you’re moving around a lot. With these chargers, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that you’ll always have fast charging wherever you go.
Cutting the cords
With a charger like the Anker PowerPort III, you’ll get 3 ports from the charger that can be used simultaneously. So now, you don’t need to charge one device at a time. Instead, you can use the two USB type-C ports in addition to the USB type-A port at the same time with the charger smartly detecting the plugged-in devices to deliver power to them efficiently and reroute the additional charging power to the other devices when one of the devices finishes charging.
You can be rest assured that you won’t have to buy a new charger even if you upgrade your devices, as the 65W provided with the Anker PowerPort III is more than enough to charge modern devices out there right now. More importantly with phones no longer having a charger bundled in the box, you have one more reason to buy one of these chargers and keep with you over the next few years.
Saving more space
Anker has managed to bring down the size of this charger using the second generation of gallium nitride (GaN) which is more efficient and produces less heat which enables the company to put the internal components tighter together without facing the problem of overheating. The usage of Gallium Nitride is also much better in enhancing power delivery and efficiency through the controller chipset.

On top of not having to carry around 3 or 4 different chargers, the Anker PowerPort III also has a reduced size of the charger to be roughly the same size as a regular earbuds’ case which saves a lot more space within your bag.
Optimised charging speeds, a carryable small size and longevity make the Anker PowerPort III your most obvious choice when looking for a new charging solution. The device is available for purchase in the UAE for the price of AED 249 in Jumbo Store.
