Best GaN charger UK

GaN stands for Gallium Nitride, a semiconductor that switches more efficiently than silicon. Less energy is lost as heat, so a GaN charger can deliver the same wattage from a much smaller, cooler body — which is why nearly every good travel charger is now GaN.

If you travel or carry a laptop, yes. A single 65–100W GaN brick replaces a laptop charger plus two phone plugs, weighs less, and charges faster. For a phone that stays at home on a bedside table, a standard charger is fine.

30W fast-charges most phones, 45W suits tablets and light laptops, 65W handles a 13–14 inch laptop plus a phone, and 100W or more covers a 16-inch laptop with devices alongside it. Multi-port chargers split their total wattage across active ports.
