Best USB-C chargers
A good USB-C charger outlasts several phones, and one compact GaN brick can replace the separate chargers for your phone, tablet and earbuds. Here are the USB-C chargers we are tracking on Amazon right now, with current prices.
Quick picks
What to look for
- Wattage: about 20–30W fast-charges most phones; 45–65W suits tablets and small laptops; 100W+ is for bigger laptops or charging several devices at once.
- USB Power Delivery (PD) is the standard most phones, iPads and laptops use. Samsung "Super Fast Charging" also needs PPS support.
- Multi-port chargers split power between ports, so check the per-port wattage if you charge a laptop and a phone together.
- GaN chargers are smaller and run cooler than older silicon chargers at the same wattage.
- Make sure your cable is rated for the wattage you need (60W vs 100W/240W e-marked cables).

FAQ
Can I charge an iPhone with a higher-watt USB-C charger?
Yes. USB-C PD negotiates power, so the phone only draws what it supports. A 65W charger is safe for a phone.
What does GaN mean?
Gallium nitride: a semiconductor that lets chargers be smaller and more efficient than traditional silicon designs.
How many watts does a laptop need?
Check the wattage printed on your laptop's original charger. A charger at or above that number will charge at full speed; a lower one may charge slowly.
