Anker's Nano Travel Adapter is built for phones rather than laptops. It has one AC outlet, two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, and Anker says it can power five devices at once. USB-C1 delivers up to 20W, enough to fast charge an iPhone according to Anker, while USB-C2 is 15W and each USB-A port 12W; with several ports in use, USB output is shared at 15W. Plugs for Type A, C, G and I cover 146 countries by Anker's count. It measures 3.39 x 1.97 x 0.98 inches and weighs 3.77 ounces, smaller and lighter than every other pick here. Anker notes two limits worth knowing: it is not a voltage converter, and its AC outlet accepts Type A and Type C plugs only, not Type E or F. At $25.99 it is the cheapest way to charge several small devices abroad, as long as a laptop charger rides in the AC outlet.

Who it is for

Travelers who only charge phones, earbuds and watches and want the smallest, cheapest option.

Price

$25.99 at Anker's US store when checked.
