I just got a new phone and wanted a new compact 45w charger to replace the 20w Anker nano I use at work. My phone supports 68w with the original charger but I noticed it usually hovers around 50w so I figured 45w is not a huge drop to be able to get a faster but still smaller charger.

This review at around the 8 min mark shows the old Nano 2 side by side with the 313 and they're identical in size. He also says they've improved it a bit. So this is a slam dunk as far as I'm concerned. Just wanted to share!

Not sure if Amazon links are allowed so just search "Anker 313 45w charger."

Just FYI, anker owns uefy, which uploads their security camera videos to the cloud when they explicitly said they don't.

LTT has couple segments on this issue, and it is also why they no longer accept anker sponsors.

This is really unfortunate, since anker makes great products, and now I cannot see myself get more of it.

I've heard of that. I'm saddened by it and have expanded who I buy my chargers from but I haven't outright stopped buying from Anker because they just make such high quality chargers with great warranties and customer service. I've used them for over a decade and have never had one of their chargers damage a device.

I kinda feel like there's almost no company without a morally questionable part of them somewhere. Which is very depressing. Even LTT themselves are having a scandal right now.

Our electronics are built with slave labor in all but name in 3rd world countries.

I don't like buying from Anker after that came out, and it did reduce how much I buy from them overall, but I still do sometimes. It is what it is.
