We compared two 6-port USB-C/USB-A charging stations: the Anker 112W USB C Charger and a 200W 6-Port GaN III USB Charging Station.
What we looked at
Port configuration, stated output, portability, and price.
The verdict
If you want a fixed, ready-to-use charger from a well-known brand with a cable organiser and 24-month warranty, the Anker is the pick at £37.99, though it costs £15.00 more. If you would rather pay less for a more compact, travel-ready charger with a detachable lead and a higher stated 200W GaN-III output, the 200W GaN Charger is the value option, at £22.99.
A £37.99 6-port charger from Anker with a 24-month warranty.
A £22.99 compact charger stated at 200W across 6 ports.
