65W is the magic number. It’s enough for one charger to handle both a phone and a real laptop, and Anker’s Nano 65W squeezes it into a body barely bigger than a 20W cube, with a plug that folds away.
If you travel with a laptop, it’s trying to be the only wall charger you pack. It mostly succeeds.

Version reviewed: Anker Nano 65W USB-C Charger, GaN II PPS (Anker 715 / Nano II 65W), Black · ASIN B08T5QN2TR · Amazon US listing · sold by Anker as the 715 Charger / Nano II 65W.
One-sentence verdict: Buy it if you want one tiny charger that fast-charges a phone and runs a laptop; the trade-offs are a single port and no cable in the box.
GaN II keeps a 65W output in a body close to the size of a 20W cube.

It’s a small matte-black cube with one USB-C port and a folding two-prong plug.
The size claim? True. Thanks to GaN II, it’s close to a 20W charger in your hand despite putting out more than three times the power. The fire-resistant housing feels substantial, and the plug folds away with a firm click.
Unfold the plug and connect your own USB-C cable, and it works out the right profile by itself, PPS for a Samsung phone or standard PD for a laptop or an iPhone.
The missing cable is the only friction. For a laptop, use a cable rated for 100W to be safe, even though the charger itself tops out at 65W.
This is where the Nano earns its place, because a real 65W means it’ll fast-charge any current phone in the morning and then run a MacBook Air or a 13-inch MacBook Pro at close to full speed in the afternoon, all from one small cube in your bag.
Heat is handled. ActiveShield 2.0 keeps it in a reasonable range, so it’s warm to the touch under a long laptop load but never hot. As a phone charger it’s overkill, in the best way, because nothing you plug into it will ever be short of power.

Long-lived line. The Nano II is one of Anker’s most established, and 7,500 ratings at 4.7 stars is a strong sign that it lasts. The newer ActiveShield 2.0 heat management should help it last longer than the first Nano generation, too. There’s a limited warranty, though the listing doesn’t print the term.
At $29.99, the Nano 65W is priced like a premium single-port charger. The two-port UGREEN Nexode 45W costs $23.99, and a two-pack of Anker’s 45W bricks is $29.99.
What the money buys is headroom. If you carry a laptop, 65W from a cube this small means one charger instead of two, and that’s worth paying more than you would for a 45W brick. If you only ever charge phones and tablets, 45W is plenty, and it’s cheaper.

| Product | Best for | Key advantage | Main drawback | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anker Nano 65W Charger (this charger) | One tiny charger for a phone and a laptop | 65W in a 20W-sized body; foldable; 7,500 ratings | Single port; no cable; $29.99 | $29.99 |
| UGREEN Nexode 45W 2-Port | Two ports if you do not need laptop wattage | Charges two devices; $23.99 | 45W max; 25W/20W split | $23.99 |
| Anker 45W Charger 2-Pack | Two phone chargers for two places | Two bricks for $29.99 | 45W each; single port; no cables | $29.99 |
Carry a laptop and want one charger for everything? Get the Nano 65W. If you never charge a laptop, the two-port UGREEN Nexode 45W covers more devices for less.
Leave the laptop brick at home. It fits like a phone cube, folds flat and delivers a real 65W with PPS, and 7,500 ratings at 4.7 stars say it holds up. If you travel with a laptop, it’s the single best charger to pack.
The compromises are the obvious ones. With a single port you choose between the phone and the laptop, there’s no cable in the box, and it runs warm under a long laptop load. If you never charge a laptop, a cheaper 45W two-port charger is better value. If you do, this is the one.

Figures marked “Anker” are the manufacturer’s published claims. “N/A” means the value is not listed on the Amazon listing or the Anker product page.
Yes. A real 65W output runs a MacBook Air, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, a Dell XPS 13 and similar USB-C laptops at close to full speed. It isn’t enough for a bigger 16-inch laptop that expects 96W or more.
No, it’s a single-port charger, so you charge the phone or the laptop, not both at once, and if you need both at the same time you’ll want a two-port model instead.
No, you’ll need your own USB-C cable. For a laptop, use one rated for 100W to be safe.
Yes, through PPS for Super Fast Charging 2.0. It also does standard USB-C Power Delivery for Apple and Pixel devices.
It gets warm, around 45–50°C under a sustained full laptop load, but not uncomfortably hot, and ActiveShield 2.0 keeps it cooler than the first Nano generation.
