Short answer — there’s no single “best” charger for every Android phone. The right choice depends on what you need (travel, one-port pocket charger, multi‑device at-home charger, or very fast charging for a flagship). Below are clear, practical picks and what each is best for — plus quick buying tips for Australia.

Top picks (2025 — based on recent reviews and lab tests)

• Best compact single‑port (everyday travel): Anker Nano 3 (30 W GaN). Tiny, foldable prongs, supports USB‑PD with PPS for efficient fast charging on most phones. (androidauthority.com)
• Best multi‑port all‑rounder (home/office): Anker 737 / Anker 735 family (65–140 W GaN models). Multiple USB‑C ports let you charge a phone + tablet + laptop safely with smart power distribution. Good mix of power and reliability. (Anker.com)
• Best high‑power small charger (if you want one-port high wattage): Satechi or Spigen 65–108 W GaN chargers (models vary). Good if you need 65 W+ for laptops but still want a compact wall brick. (edition.CNN.com)
• Best value multi‑port (budget + performance): Spigen ArcStation Pro (dual 65 W ports) — good price/performance for charging multiple devices. (edition.CNN.com)
• Notable features from CES / new options: Baseus, Twelve South and other brands introduced travel models with retractable cables and multi‑port 65–120 W GaN chargers in 2025 — useful if you want integrated cables or travel adapters. (isfeed.com)

Which charger for your phone

• Most midrange Androids (and many flagships): 25–45 W is enough. A 30–65 W PD/PPS charger will hit the phone’s max. (Example: Anker Nano 3 or a 65 W dual port). (androidauthority.com)
• Samsung Galaxy S series / Foldables: Samsung phones often accept 25–45 W (some use higher on very recent models). Use a charger that supports USB‑PD with PPS or Samsung’s recommended PD profile. (edition.CNN.com)
• Google Pixel (recent models): supports USB‑PD with PPS; a 30–45 W PPS charger gives fastest/most efficient charging. (androidauthority.com)
• Laptops + phone on one charger: pick a 100–140 W multiport GaN charger (Anker 737/140W variants) so the laptop can draw full power while still charging phone. (Anker.com)

Buying tips (important)

• Look for GaN technology (smaller & cooler) and USB Power Delivery (PD) with PPS support for modern Android phones. (androidauthority.com)
• Match charger wattage to your device’s max — higher wattage is safe when the device and charger negotiate power correctly, but it won’t force a phone to take more than it supports. (Anker.com)
• For multiple devices, check how the charger splits power across ports (you don’t want the phone throttled to 5 W when the laptop is plugged in). Review manufacturers’ power‑distribution charts. (edition.CNN.com)
• Always use a good-quality USB‑C to USB‑C cable rated for the charger’s wattage (especially for 60–140 W). Cheaper cables can limit speed or be unsafe. (Anker.com)
• In Australia, check local retailers for models and warranty/support; some travel chargers include AU plugs or interchangeable prongs. (theverge.com)

If you want a one‑line recommendation

• For most Android users: buy a 30–65 W GaN PD/PPS charger (Anker Nano 3 for pocket use, or a 65 W dual‑port GaN like Spigen/UGREEN/Baseus for home use). If you also charge a laptop, step up to a 100–140 W multiport GaN charger (Anker 737/140W family). (androidauthority.com)
