Anker USB C Charger, 18W PIQ 3.0 Fast Charger Adapter, PowerPort III Nano USB C Wall Charger

The Anker new 18W USB-C charger comes in traditional Anker blue and white packaging:

Inside there is the charger and documents including manual and the "Happy Card".


Comparing to my iPad Air charger and also my iPhone charger, it is clearly a winner, the iPad charger is 12W and iPhone is merely 5w, but similar sized Anker one is 18w.
 Plugged into the UK socket, it leaves a very small footprint and doesn't affect anything else, comparing to my MacBook Pro's charger the Anker one is like a baby :)

Then I tested charging various devices:
  • Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD:



  • Xiaomi Mi 8:

  • Nintendo Switch:

  • and my trusted iPhone 7 Plus (no fast charging but good to see backward compatibility):

Conclusion:

The new Anker 18W USB-C charger is clearly the winner, it is the first charger build into a UK plug shaped body, very compact in size, thanks to the GaN technology it provides a whooping 18W charging for the size. It provides what you would expect from a 18W charger's speed, very fast! This will definitely in my bag when I go travelling after the lockdown lifted and also business trips.

Anker PowerLine III Lightning Cable review

Anker PowerLine III Lightning Cable is the latest cable from Anker, it charges my iPhone X and super strong and easy to clean.  It is super simple to use, just like the stock cable plug and play, you can plug on a wall socket, computer or a powerbank.  This new version of the cable is super strong and can take 25k bends and it has a textured skin which means it will get more grip when you plugin and out. the material is a new one with super easy clean property i tried with a normal wet wipe some dirt is gone from the cable.

Anker PowerCore 10000 review

It is powerful and very high capacity of 1000 mah, yet in a very small size, it only just takes the space of a credit card. My other 10000mah is much larger than this one almost twice as large but this can charge my iPhone 7 plus a few times. I use this in many occasions: when I am out and about for some shopping; when I am playing Pokemon go especially when there is a Tyranitar raid you wouldn't want the phone run out of battery! Sometimes I use it even at home, because I can go around the house while still use my phone without putting it at the charging point. I would recommend this product, reasonably priced and good customer service.
