Best USB PD PPS travel chargers 2025: compact and fast

TL;DR:

Pick PD PPS for Samsung Super Fast Charging and modern Pixels.
65W covers phones, tablets, and many small laptops.
Multiport GaN bricks save space in your carry bag.
Foldable U.S. prongs and swappable plugs help abroad.
Pack a 2-meter USB-C cable rated for 100W.

\You want a travel charger that is compact, safe, and versatile. USB Power Delivery with PPS matters for recent Samsung phones and many Pixels. GaN keeps size down. A good target is 65 watts for one-cable travel with a phone and a small laptop.

This guide uses recent recommendations from Engadget and TechGearLab, plus current specs from Anker and UGREEN support pages.

Top picks

Anker Prime 67W 3-Port GaN

Why it stands out

2 USB-C, 1 USB-A.
Up to 67W on a single USB-C for laptops.
PPS support for phones that need it.
Compact body with foldable prongs.

Anker’s product page lists 67W single-port output with smart power sharing. Anker’s support article explains how Prime 67W differs from earlier GaNPrime 65W with improved dynamic distribution.

Best for travelers who want one brick for a phone, earbuds, and a thin laptop.

UGREEN Nexode 65W 3-Port GaN

Why it stands out

Similar 2C1A layout, PPS on USB-C.
Often lower price than rivals.
Good thermal design for long flights.

Engadget’s 2025 fast-charger guide highlights UGREEN’s 65W slim model as a strong thin choice for travel.

Spigen ArcStation Pro 65W

Why it stands out

Compact dual-port unit with PPS.
Strong value and reliable thermals.

TechGearLab’s June 2025 testing named the Spigen ArcStation Pro the best 65W dual-port charger. It is a solid fallback when Anker or UGREEN are out of stock.

ALOGIC Rapid Power 100W with travel plugs

Why it stands out

Higher total power for two laptops or a laptop plus phone.
Travel edition bundles AU, EU, UK, and US plug heads on one body.

ALOGIC lists 100W PD output and multi-region plug options on its product pages. This is ideal for multi-country trips where you do not want a separate adapter.

How many watts do you need

Phone only, one device: 25 to 30W PD PPS.
Phone plus tablet, or a small laptop: 45 to 67W.
Two laptops, or a 16-inch class laptop: 100W plus. Check your model.

Remember that multiport chargers split power when more than one device is connected. Look for clear split charts on the brand page.

PPS in plain English

PPS stands for Programmable Power Supply. It lets the charger adjust voltage and current in small steps. Samsung’s Super Fast Charging needs PPS. Recent Pixels support PPS for better thermals. Without PPS, your phone still charges, but not at peak speed.

Cables matter

Carry at least one USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 100W. Check the printing on the cable or buy from a trusted brand. A 2-meter cable reaches from wall outlets behind hotel furniture.

Airline and hotel tips

Chargers go in carry-on, not checked bags.
Most airlines allow wall chargers without limits. Power banks have Wh limits.
In older hotels, outlets may be loose. A small travel power strip with surge protection is handy, but check regional plug types first.

Quick comparison table

Why it matters

A small PPS charger removes a laptop brick and the phone’s wall plug. You save weight and charge faster at airports and hotels. Fewer chargers also means fewer things to forget.
