Fast-Charging Powerhouse: Anker 33W Dual-Port Phone Charger Review
Anker 323 Charger (33W) Review
The Anker 323 Charger (33W) is a compact and capable wall charger that can juice up two devices at once. This dual-port charger features a USB-C port and a USB-A port, making it a great option for those with devices that use different connectors. At just $18.79 / £15.99 / AU$49.99, it’s also an affordable choice.
Charging Two Devices
I tested the charger by charging my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 via the USB-C port alongside a DualSense Wireless Controller in the USB-A port. The result was satisfactory, with my phone going from 0% to 100% in about an hour and 30 minutes, even with the USB-A port in use.
Design and Practicality
While the design of the charger may not be the most attractive, it’s practical and compact. The prongs are foldable, making it easy to take the charger on the go. The charger also uses Anker’s ActiveShield safety standard to prevent overheating.
Power Output
The main drawback of the charger is its power output. The USB-C port can only deliver up to 20W of power, which may not be enough to quickly charge some devices, such as newer Samsung phones. The USB-A port can only deliver 12W of power, which is relatively weak compared to some other chargers on the market.
Should You Buy It?
If you’re looking for a compact and affordable charger that can charge two devices at once, the Anker 323 Charger (33W) is a good option. However, if you need a charger with more powerful output or a more attractive design, you may want to consider other options.
Buy It If:
- You need a compact and affordable charger that can charge two devices at once
- You don’t mind a relatively weak power output
Don’t Buy It If:
- You need a charger with high-power output (e.g., 30W or higher)
- You’re looking for a more attractive design
Also Consider:
