Monoprice 45W USB-C Mini Cubic GaN Charger vs Anker Nano 45W Charger

Both are 45W single-port GaN chargers with PPS support, so they charge the same phones and laptops at the same speed. The Anker Nano is the easier pick for most people: it ships with a 6 ft USB-C cable, has a foldable plug, and carries Anker's ActiveShield temperature monitoring. The Monoprice is smaller and lighter at 0.12 lbs, but it is a bare charger with no cable in the box. Owners of both rate them 4.8 out of 5, though the Anker sample is small.

• Choose the Monoprice 45W Mini Cubic if you already own USB-C cables and want the smallest, lightest brick for a bag or a tight outlet.
• Choose the Anker Nano 45W if you want a cable included, a foldable plug and built-in overheat protection from a brand with a long charger track record.
