Chargers

How to choose the right charger

A charger only charges as fast as your phone, cable and charger allow together. Pick the wattage your device can actually use, the number of ports you need, and a plug that fits your socket.

Pick the right wattage

• 20W: enough for iPhone fast charging and most budget Android phones.
• 30W to 45W: suits Samsung phones that support Super Fast Charging, iPads and some tablets.
• 65W: charges most ultrabooks and a MacBook Air, plus a phone at the same time.
• 100W and above: for bigger laptops or a desk where several devices charge together.

A higher watt charger is safe for a phone. Through USB Power Delivery, the phone and charger agree on a safe voltage, so the phone only takes what it can handle. On multi-port chargers, remember that the total wattage is shared between ports.

Why GaN?

GaN (gallium nitride) chargers run cooler and are smaller than older silicon chargers of the same power. That makes a 65W GaN charger easy to carry in a laptop bag. Our GaN chargers explained guide goes into more detail.

Plug types in Pakistan

Most Pakistani homes and offices have round 2-pin sockets, and many also have 3-pin sockets. EU round 2-pin chargers fit most sockets directly. US flat-pin plugs and UK 3-pin plugs may need a simple socket converter depending on your wiring. Check the plug type in each product title before you order.

Do not forget the cable

A 100W charger with a basic 3A cable will be limited to about 60W. For laptops, use a 5A cable from our charging cables range. For the car, see our car chargers.
