Anker Charger, 40W 4-Port USB Phone Charger with Foldable Plug, PowerPort 4 for iPhone 14/Pro/Pro Max/13/12, iPad Pro/Air/Mini, Galaxy S23/S22/S21, Note 20 Ultra, LG, Nexus, HTC, and More

Space saving, fits even if you have a big block plugged in next to it. Four charging spots. Intelligent voltage so you don't burn up low voltage items like string lights or a short LED strip, but will fast charge things too. That would be enough. But there's more. It's made in Vietnam. It came very well packed in a static proof bag, suspended in a recyclable tray and recyclable box. It has certifications and FCC standards. Included some instructions (have a magnifier handy if you have weak eyes like me). I'm not an expert on brands but it seems to be UK/Hong Kong headed with manufacturing in Vietnam. What will stand out to you is the quality. In a world of cheap junk electronics and chargers, this one is worth the price. Currently 40% off though. So I bought another one.

Retirement cruise, an iPad, two droid phones, camera & a kindle with the Anker, one Aussie and two European power plug adapters, 1 WHITE lightening cable and three micro-usb cables. The Anker switches 110/220 automatically (as does wife's curler BUT NOT her hair dryer.) (Note 1: 4 cables out of one charger is a whole mess of cables. Needed some cable ties or twisties to keep it organized) (Note 2: You know, those metal plug adapters you get at the airport or Walmart only allow you to plug your US gadget into foreign power, they don't stop it from burning up if it doesn't automatically handle foreign voltages. The Anker switches voltages and protects your gadgets.) Philadelphia to Sydney - Plugged Anker in at Philly airport restaurant to charge phone used to talk to daughter on drive and her kindle. Snagged a plug in San Francisco waiting lounge to fill iPad and two droids. 4 days at the Sydney Marriott. One 110 outlet at the hotel, damaged by previous guest. Gave wife the Aussie plug adapter and manually switched the hair dryer to 220. Used a European adapter to power the Anker at 220 in a special hotel outlet for Europeans. All gadgets fine whole stay. Onboard Royal Caribbean for 18 days, New Zealand through Polynesia. 1 US 110 & 2 European 220 outlets in cabin. Stuck a European adapter on the Anker and on the Wife's auto-switching curler and manually switched her dryer to 110 and gave her the US outlet (this was a mistake). Anker powered gadgets were fine all trip. About day 13, she pulled the curler from the adapter and stuck the 110 set dryer in to 220v. Fzzzz. Hotel in Honolulu - Anker powered all gadgets fine. Honolulu to Philadelphia - Long flight wait in Honolulu. Stuck the Anker in the wall, topped off droids and iPad, and some phone of another passenger. Same thing in Seattle waiting on Philly flight. Fast charge worked great on iPad and Droids. Currently I have it stuck in a battery back up UPS under the bed to provide power for iPad and droid - system that works well with power outages. Best charger I've ever had.

Like others, I own the previous version of this charger which is still working great. However, after I saw that there is a new and improved version, I couldn't resist buying it. I do not regret buying this new version and it is now my new favorite go-to charger. Why? - IMPROVED PORTABILITY: It is now more portable now that you have the prong being foldable. I had problems with the old charger catching on things in my backpack because the prongs were not foldable and were just sticking out. Now this is a nice block when folded up so it is much easier to store and take out when I am on-the-go. - INDICATOR LIGHTS: Indicator lights are really convenient when in a place like Starbucks or the library and you need to share an outlet with strangers. A quick glance at the charger, and I can tell whether all my devices are done charging so I can give up the outlet for someone else to use, or if I need a bit longer to charge my stuff. This is especially convenient for my devices like headphones and such that do not have a display to tell me how charged the device is (unlike iPads and/or iPhones that tell you how much charge you have remaining on it). If it lights up green, my devices are still charging. If it lights up blue, I am done charging and the charger is just in standby. - FASTER CHARGE: Charges my devices even faster compared to the old Anker 4-port charger because it is now 40W instead of 36W. - MORE PROTECTION: There are now more protection features on this charger, something I really appreciate for my beloved devices. I never had problems with surges and/or temperature control with the old Anker charger, but I'm glad that I will be even more protected now that I have this charger. The previous 36w Anker 4-port charger was pretty great, but I definitely regularly felt that there could be something better. This new version is that "something better." For now, I do not feel that this charger is missing anything or lacking any features--it is my favorite and my ideal charger.

Excelente producto, conpacto y carga 4 dispositivos al mismo tiempo, muy util para viajes ya que puede cargar celular, camara y tablet al mismo tiempo, asi que al despertar ya estan al 100 y no hay que llevar un cargador diferente para cada una

Bigger and heavier than the less expensive competition but there is a reason for it. We also purchased some of the less expensive 3/4 port chargers with varying output levels and they were definitely not as good. I might as well have just brought 2, 3 or 4 separate chargers on our trip, because you had to be careful with the cheaper charger what you plugged in to which port. This charger was a rock star and charged at full power for all the ports/devices, thus it makes it easy to use because you didn't need to figure out what to plug in where. The only thing I will say is that because it is larger and heavier, if the wall outlet does not grip your plug very well it will fall out. One time we had to prop it up to stay in place. I would buy another for sure, and wish I hadn't wasted money on the charger that was half the price that only gave 1/4 the performance.

Anker is a name that I first came across over 5 years ago as the most recommended option for a replacement mobile battery. Since then the brand has extended its product range to even include vacuum cleaners though my purchases included only a 4-port USB Hub and a multi angle stand. A major issue has been the availability of their products in India, even through their official distributors Yugadi Electronics, forcing me to directly import it from the US. Hence, when I found the Powerport 4 selling at an effective price of Rs. 1620 on Amazon (1800 - 10% cashback) which is in fact lower than even the US price of $26, I immediately pounced on it with my only deliberation being whether to go with the white or black variant (eventually settled on the latter). In terms of choosing the right USB charger among Anker's line-up, I feel that Powerport 4 is the optimal portable choice. The ones with the higher number of ports come with a USB power cable thereby affecting portability while the PowerPort 2 doesn't seem to be quite as cost effective. The outer box design is simplicity at its best and reminded me of the Chromecast packaging with its combination of white and blue. The minimalism extends to the contents of the box which includes nothing more than the charger itself and a couple of information leaflets. The first thing that you notice is that the charger has quite some heft to it. On my scale it comes in at 138g compared to 33g for the iPhone 7 charger. The weight is in a way an indicator of the quality of components and I can attest to it having used Anker products in the past. While none of the ports are certified for Qualcomm's proprietary Quick Charging, they are instead labelled as Power IQ which is Anker's microcontroller based solution for mimicking itself as the official charger for the device and thereby providing the optimal current requested by the device. A problem that one faces when using US products is the presence of flat pins as against the round pin EU standard used in India. I always select flat pin compatible surge protectors or extension boxes but the wall sockets are another story. Among the 3 plug adapters I have with me, I found only one fitting snuggly with the flat pins of the charger. In case of others, the charger was left dangling dangerously on account of its weight and I had to resort to plugging in the charger upside down in order to prevent it from sliding out. The unit LED illuminates in blue with no load or when the charging current is within the USB 3 data standard of 500 mA. Anything above 500 mA and it changes to green which is in a way an indicator of quick charging. The charger is rated at 40W at full load with 2.4A per port. With the normal USB DC voltage of 5V, it means that the device is capable of providing a total output current of 8A across the 4 ports. With most tablets drawing around 2.4A and phones drawing around 2A, this means the charger should be able to charge all of them at full speed. I decided to test it individually for 3 devices and compare it with the performance of their respective chargers. First comes the iPhone 7. Apple provides a charger with a very low amperage of 1A compared to other mobile devices and while the optimist would say it is to prevent battery decay, a pessimist might think it is Apple's way of pushing people to buy an iPad charger which is listed as being compatible with all iPhones. Hence, it is a foregone conclusion that the Anker charger with its ability to supply up to 2.4A is going to be faster than the default charger, but by how much is to be seen. Unfortunately, Apple removed a lot of battery APIs in iOS 10 which makes it impossible to monitor the real-time current and hence I have decided to use time as a metric instead. iPhone 7 (5 - 80%): Anker - 58 min; iPhone charger - 81 min So, it turns out that on an average, the Anker charger is 28.4% faster than the default charger. Since the charging current tapers off as the voltage increases, the advantage of the Anker charger reduces as the battery percentage increases which is in fact visible as the LED changes from green to blue when the percentage hits 90%. Even then it offers susbstantial time saving. The second device is a Redmi Note 3 that doesn't support Qualcomm's Fast Charging. The supplied charger is a 2A one. In this case I am checking the average charging current over a period of 5 minutes. Redmi Note 3 (~60%): Anker - 1392 mA; Redmi charger - 1314 mA Again, it seems that around 60% charge, the charging profile demands around 1400 mA. Even then, th Anker charger is able to supply a bit extra though the difference is negligible. Lastly, I had a go with the OnePlus One which is a Quick Charge 2.0 device. OnePlus One (~60%): Anker - 1701 mA; OPO charger - 865 mA Since the difference is so large, I am inclined to think that the OPO charger is on its death bed and hence the comparison doesn't seem too valid. However, the charge current on the Anker is high enough to indicate that it is supplying what is demanded of it. To conclude, empirical analysis indicates that the Anker charger is up to the task of charging any phone up to its full potential which makes it a welcome travel companion. On the other end, it is on the bulky side, weighing as much as a phone and tending to hang from the socket because of it. For its utility, the charger deserves a 5 out of 5.

Anker is the gold standard in USB chargers. I have other products of theirs and over the years they've not let me down. This multiple port charger is fantastic - it's sleek and portable as the prongs fold up into the body. For mainland European travels, just buy a multi-prong adapter and you're good to go (this is both 120/240 volt compatible). A drawback is you can't change the position of the electrical prongs, however - the adaptor can only be plugged into the electrical socket in one position (see photo). Fortunately, it's not a space hog and there's room for another plug underneath. But just beware if you needed it to fit alongside another cumbersome plug and were hoping its position could be changed (it can't), like some iterations of the wall charger. This Anker charger has 4 USB ports and with its 'smart charging' technology it can tell what type of device is plugged into it and how much of a charge each one needs (fast charge vs slow charging). This alone makes it worth the price over and above a cheaper USB charger port. With multiple iPhones plugged in, all get fully charged in the same time as if you had plugged each one into an independent socket. Such a space saver and no one argues over the previously-sparse charging space. Extra points for packaging, as insignificant as this might sound. :) It comes in a nicely-presented blue box which makes it seem like a nice little present. There's contact information for their customer service readily available, and reading it (although I haven't had to contact them) it seems the company wants you to reach out with any problems. I've not had any and can happily recommend this great little Anker USB Multiple Port Charger!

Vino a reemplazar uno antiguo igual de 4 conexiones y definitivamente fue un upgrade, había pedido primero uno de los digamos genéricos chinos el cual nunca me termino de convencer y vino una oferta y lo compre a un precio inmejorable y en definitiva es muy buen cargador, carga rapida en los 4 puertos!!
