Smartphone brands like Apple, Samsung, and Google have stopped including power adapters in the box, assuming you already have one.
Nothing has followed the same strategy since its inception.

Meanwhile, battery capacities and charging speeds have continued to rise.
The iPhone 12, which marked Apple's first move away from including a charging adapter, supported 20W wired charging; the iPhone 17 can now charge at up to 40W.
Fortunately, all these brands use the open USB Power Delivery standard rather than proprietary protocols.
This gives you the freedom to choose a charger that suits your needs, whether for charging your phone and accessories simultaneously or powering both your phone and laptop.
Top Charger Picks for 2026
The Anker Prime 67W GaN (3-port) is a safe everyday pick.
It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A, delivers a full 67W on a single USB-C when used alone, and still pushes useful power when you plug in a phone and an accessory simultaneously.
Its strong PPS support ensures Galaxy phones hit proper fast-charging speeds.

It's compact, runs relatively cool, and the foldable plug makes it travel-friendly, priced at $49.99 on Anker's global website.
Ugreen's Nexode chargers are the value kings right now.
The 65W three-port version (2C + 1A) is small, has solid PPS, and handles a phone plus tablet or light laptop just fine.
Step up to the 100W models (some with three or four ports) for full-speed laptop charging plus room for a phone and accessories.
They're consistently cheaper than premium brands for very similar performance, with the 65W version priced at £39.99 or Rs.
4,199 on regional websites.
The Baseus PicoGo 67W (3-port) is a pocketable option that still does multi-device work.
It has two USB-C ports plus one USB-A, 67W max on a single port, and supports PD + PPS so both iPhones and Samsungs charge at full speed.

It's noticeably smaller than most 65W+ chargers, has a foldable plug, and the power split when multiple devices are connected is sensible, with the laptop still getting priority while a phone tops up alongside.
