My phone doesn't accept anything more than 5W lol
Should've mentioned Apple's Thunderbolt 4/5 cables too when you mentioned their chargers. They're over-engineered cables that might have marginally better build quality and much better reliability as data cables.
This is a very important article, but I wish you had mentioned the charging protocol for each company, such as Samsung, Xiaomi, Infinix, and others.
You have many good options from anker and ugreen and some others. But even samsung's 45w charger is ok for me. Not fast not slow.
A lot of these charger recommendations just aren't that good. If you want good, look up a channel like AllThingsOnePlace and go with what they recommend, they have the data to back up if a charger is good or not. Also note that the UGREEN listed here doesn't have safety listings (common examples are UL, TÜV Rheinland, PS E, BIS, SAFETY Mark and Intertek ETL, but there's so many many others) meaning we basically have to take their word for it in terms of electrical safety (would not recommend).
The annoying thing is why power strips only have low wattage charging? It has all the space it needed for the circuitry.
