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 PowerCore Speed 20000 PD

Anker has just released another new power bank called: PowerCore 20000 PD, from the name you would know it has over 20000mah and the PD is the interesting bit - power delivery. Opening the traditional Anker's white and blue package you can find the PowerCore itself and also a travel pouch, USB-C to USB-C cable and USB-A to Micro USB cable. It is long but not too big to fit in a winter coat, or my backpack, with this size but it has 21000mah capacity which is amazing!  I use it with my Macbook Pro 2016 touchbar version, interestingly it can charge the Macbook Pro. Also it has a normal USB port which can let me charge my phone and watch using my own cables.  I only have one suggestion, as this is the UK version, unlike the US version which has a wall adaptor, I would think a USB-A to USB-C cable would be nice to include in the package too, for people who doesn't have a USB C wall charger. I give this product 5 out of 5 ! I would recommend to anyone needs a power bank with...

Anker Universal Magnetic Car Mount — Ultra-Compact Phone Holder

Anker Universal Magnetic Car Mount comes in a very nice blue and white packaging as other Anker products, inside each component is nicely placed and divided by the cardboard box inserts. It is really easy to assemble, there are only three parts to be put together: the sticker base which is installed on the car's dashboard, the middle magnetic plate with Anker's logo, and the phone plate. The phone plate can be either stick on the phone, the case or placed in between the case and the phone, it is super thin and doesn't feel like its there! Once everything is installed, to use it couldn't be simpler: get in the car and place the phone on the holder it will magnetically stick together without doing anything else. set the google map and you are good to go. The verdict: it is incredibly small but the magnet is strong, very easy to use and never worried about it falling off. it is very well made and looks fantastic in the car.

Anker Roav Dash Cam C1 Pro

Roav is a new brand from Anker that is very well known for its power banks and charging solutions, this brand is for the car accessories. The new Roav Dash Cam C1 pro is the updated version of the old C1. It comes in a nice new packaging with very well designed graphics on it, showing the specs and images of the dash cam. After opening the box, the first thing presented is the dash cam itself, very neatly placed in a protective housing, underneath it there is the two usb car adaptor and a very long micro usb wire for connection to the camera. There is one more thing! - A 32GB micro SD card is also included with the dash cam, compare to many other vendors this is a really nice touch, it means you can use it directly without the need to hunt for a compatible card. Installation couldn't be easier, just find a suitable position on the windscreen and peer off the sticky pad then connect to the cigarette adaptor and thats it! At first run it will ask you to format the micro SD card and...
