An ultra-compact quick charger ' Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W ' that supports

USB Power Delivery from Anker and can output up to 20W will be released on October 20, 2020 (Tuesday). Although it is almost the same size as the ' Apple 5W USB power adapter ' that came with the iPhone in the past, it has a USB Type-C port and I was able to get a charger that can charge a wide range of devices including the latest iPhone. , I actually tried using it.

The outer box of Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W looks like this.

From the left, the contents of the box are only the charger body, instruction manual, product warranty, and the cable is not included.

This is the 'Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W', which has only one USB Type-C charging port on the front.

On the plug side, the product name, product number, input / output current / voltage,

PSE mark, etc. are written. The input is 100 to 240V-0.6A, and the output is 5V-3A and 9V-2.22A.

From the left, Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W, Apple 5W USB power adapter, and ' 20W USB-C power adapter ' that comes with the iPad Pro are arranged in this order as follows. The Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W is about the same size as the Apple 5W USB Power Adapter.

Seen from the side, it looks like this. It's almost the same length as the Apple 5W USB power adapter.

I will actually use it. First, when I connected it to the

iPhone 11 Pro Max and measured the output using the Satechi Type-C Power Meter , which is a voltage / current checker for USB Type-C terminals, the maximum output was 8.77V x 2.03A = about 17.80W. A number close to 20W is recorded.

The transition graph of the remaining battery level by '

NK Battery' looks like the following. The iPhone 11 Pro Max, which had a 6% battery level, could be charged to 90% in about an hour after charging, and to 98% in 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Let's charge it using the Apple 5W USB Power Adapter for comparison.

When measuring the output with the Legion Meter , the number 4.97W is recorded.

Looking at the transition of the remaining battery level in the graph with NK Battery, it took 3 hours to charge the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which had 8% remaining battery level, to 90%, and it became 100% in 4 hours. The Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W can charge the iPhone 11 Pro Max in less than half the time of an Apple 5W USB power adapter.

Next, when I connected it to the

Pixel 3a XL , it showed that it was charging quickly and the time it took to complete charging.

When I measured the output using the Satechi Type-C Power Meter, it was 8.69V x 2.23A = about 19.38W, which is quite close to the maximum output.

If you check the transition of the remaining battery level in the

graph with ' Simple Battery Graph ', the Pixel 3a XL, which had 8% remaining battery power, can be charged to 90% in about 1 hour and 10 minutes, and can be charged to 100% in 1 hour and 34 minutes. It's done. It's very different from the time shown when connecting to the charger, but it's still fast enough.

When I actually used the Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W, I was able to charge the iPhone 11 Pro Max and Pixel 3a XL from the single digit to 90% of the remaining battery power in just one hour. On October 23 (gold) iPhone 12 will be released does not come with a power adapter, USB Type-C terminal - only cable of Lightning terminals and accessories announcement because it has been, has been included with the iPhone in the past power Boasting almost the same size as the adapter and four times the output, the Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W is a pretty awesome power adapter for users looking for quick charging.

Anker PowerPort III Nano 20W is 1780 yen including tax and will be available from October 20, 2020 (Tuesday) on the official website of Anker Japan, Amazon.co.jp, and some home electronics mass retailers.
