Top 5 Best USB Phone Charger
Tuesday, May 21, 2019 IST
A good USB charger will power your phone as fast as it and your cable allow. After testing 15 power adapters this year, it’s clear that the HGD 2.4 Amp Dual USB is the best option for charging any phone. No matter which cable or port you use to charge, you’ll get the fastest rate possible. And the HGD 2.4 Amp Dual USB can support maximum speeds from both ports at the same time.

Anker PowerPort PD 2
Though every smartphone or tablet includes a USB charger, it’s surprising how many of those stock chargers can’t juice up the device as fast as possible. For example, if you have an iPhone and a USB-C–to–Lightning cable, you can boost the battery up to three times faster than the free charger and cable that came with it by using the PowerPort PD 2. And being able to charge a second device at the same time is especially helpful while traveling. We also like this power adapter’s small size and Anker’s 18-month warranty.
Scosche PowerVolt Power Delivery Dual USB-C Fast Charger
The Scosche PowerVolt Power Delivery Dual USB-C Fast Charger is what you should get if you want to take advantage of fast USB-C with multiple devices. Both of its USB-C ports support full 18-watt charging at the same time, meaning you can charge two phones at top speed—an iPhone’s battery will go from 0 to around 50 percent charged in a half hour, while it’d be at less than 20 percent with the charger it comes with. This dual–USB-C setup is pretty rare still, and Scosche’s is the only model to carry USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) certification for safety and adherence to standards, the main thing separating it from otherwise identical competition.
iClever BoostCube II
The Anker PowerPort II and iClever BoostCube II are equivalent chargers that usually sell for about the same price. Neither supports USB-C, which means you won’t get maximum charging speed on the latest phones, but they’re good choices if you just want a small and inexpensive (but still powerful) 24-watt USB-A charger. We think you should get the one that’s cheaper when you’re ready to buy or the one that you like the looks of more.
Anker PowerPort 4
The Anker PowerPort 4 is the model to choose if you carry a lot of gear—maybe a phone, smartwatch, power bank, and Bluetooth headphones—or are traveling with companions. Each of its four ports supports 12-watt power draw—as fast a charge as you get from standard USB-A. No other reliable four-port charger packs that kind of power into such a diminutive size and low price.
