Anker has slowly built a very successful accessory
business by providing excellent value for money propositions, and the latest
entrants in its roster are no exception. Starting off with the new Anker
Powerport Atom PD 1 fast charger, we'll just note that it is a tiny US$ 30 brick
with 27W USB-C Power Delivery output, ready to top up your iPhone in twice
short of a time compared to its stock charger.
The key word here is "tiny," though. The
Atom PD 1 could be the smallest fast charger from a name-brand company. It's
touted as 40% smaller than a standard MacBook charger, and able to charge your
iPhone up to 2.5x faster than the 5W brick that comes in its box. Anker
utilized gallium nitride for some of the components inside for the first time
and was able to squeeze them into a more compact footprint than its previous
Power Delivery-certified bricks which were not extremely large to begin with.
The Atom's 1.61 x 1.37 x 1.49" dimensions
versus 2.4 x 2.3 x 1.1" for Anker's current USB-C PD charger mean that the
new puppy is smaller than some stock phone chargers now. Long story short, if
you are looking for a small but powerful charger to top up your iPhone quickly
without breaking the bank, the Atom PD 1 will fit that narrative.
