The Best Quick Charge 3.0 Single Port Wall Charger | Anker vs Aukey vs Tronsmart

hi guys
i want to buy a Single Port Wall Charger
which one has a better built quality from your experience ?
1- AUKEY PA-T9 18W USB Wall Charger Compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0
Amazon
2-Tronsmart WC1T 18W Quick Charge 3.0 USB Wall Charger
Amazon
3-Anker PowerPort+ 1 Quick Charge 3.0 18W USB Wall Charger
Amazon
from the pictures(i think) it seems aukey has a better board quality than anker but i could'nt find any pictures of Tronsmart WC1T board
base price for both anker and aukey is about 40$ and for tronsmart is 25$ so maybe those two have a better build quality
but some reviews about other tronsmart products says that chargers from this company have a better quality in material (housing plastic) than aukey or other
which one do you prefer?

I think Tronsmart is better.
I was thinking about buying a Qualcomm QuickCharger and researched it a lot. I chose the Tronsmart charger over the Anker Powerport singleport wall charger.
Pro's:
1. Comes with a USB cable (24 AWG) with a length of 6 ft. (I wanted a long USB cable with good charging rates! For Quickcharging, a good cable is a must along with the QuickCharge adapter)
2. It comes with an Indian type plug (I am from India, and didnt wana buy a converter for USA to India conversion)
3. footprint is similar to Anker
Cons :
1. No LED light (In Anker, blue light normally; green when in 9V/12V. However, once you have established that your device supports Quickcharge, the colour change has no significance)
Good luck. Also let me know which one you bought.

any other thoughts?
which one do you think has a better build and board quality?

They are all GOOD, and possibly made in the same place in China. Not familiar with Transmart, but I have reviewed a ton of Anker and Aukey, and Choetech products. They all good because they have a better quality control and offer an excellent support and extended warranty. To differentiate, maybe look for better accessories, like low gauge cables (that's a plus for high current charging), and better price deals.
Btw, what are you planning to charge with QC3.0, are there any phones/tablets even available to take advantage of it?

Anker makes a quality product. I know their batteries work well. I'd go with them over the others.

I also trust Anker's quality. But I could think twice when purchasing since its price is always highest one.
Anker, Aukey and Tronsmart quick chargers all comes with 18W output. Actually the 1st release of this products share the same specifications.
So the quality is the point. It is very difficult to decide based on their Amazon reviews, almost the same review rating.
So, I am iClever Fans, since I bought a dual usb charger from their store. Works so great as I expect.
Its quick charge 3.0 single port charger is Amazing, 24W output.
Wow, Seems like the seller is providing deal price at 13.59$.

Ii would prefer aukey, I bought aukey qc 3.0 for use in car, and it works very well, I got some hdmi miracast adapter from Tronsmart and there is poor support on it, and does not work well (cant connect from NB or PC with Windows 10 to the adapter, but from smarthphone it works, only sometimes drops connection)

I have my HTC M10 on hand now. Just buy a set of QC 3.0 charger(wall, car, desktop) from Tronsmart. Works as expected.

if you want a cheap options the Aukey PA-Y2 blows the competitions away.
https://www.aukey.com/products/amp-type-c-dual-port-wall-chargerwith-quick-charge-3-0
this is the only charger that can fast charge both USB Type A devices and Type C devices.
Type C devices like Galaxy S8, Nexus 5X/6P or Google Pixel aren't able to be fast charged using a type a to type c cable, so please consider it when getting a type a only charger.

ChargerAdapter is broken

Hey Guys,
Finally my cheap EU Adapter for the chargingplug is broken. The one i got was delivered free by honorbuy, where i bought the phone.
Can you recommend a good and stable Adapter or May be even a complete EU charger to USB cable? It would be nice IG it had a good shipping time. I feind this on amazon:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01EN...X236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Leeco+adapter
Is this good? I dont want to damage the battery
Thanks in advance

I bought my original LeMax 2 in the US and got a USB-C charger and cable (both sides), so I had to find and deal with a wall plug replacement at home.
It's worked fine and is still working, even if the US->EU adapter is somewhat large, at least *after* I found out that I wasn't reversible (despite USB-c) at the charger side (but reversible at the phone side).
Le next (sorry but 'le' is 'the' in French and it's soundy very silly to say 'the Le') Max2 I bought for my son and that came with a US charger, a flimsy US->EU adapter and a USB-A to USB-c cable: That charger and the phone no longer seem able to negotiate proper voltage levels, but the problem seems to be more with the cable, as it works with another USB-A to USB-c cable. This original cable is a bit odd anyway, as it is actually reversible at the USB-A (non-c) side.
Since I wanted to cut down on the risk of electrocution and my son borrowing my charger I bought him an Anker QuickCharge 3 compatible charger from Amazon (https://www.amazon.de/Anker-PowerPo...79601842&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3). Works perfectly and very quickly.
And then I went full steam ahead and bought another Anker charger to consolidate my sockets, since I have quite a few Androids and was running out of outlets (or rather daisy-chaining extension chords and sockets to nightmare levels):
https://www.amazon.de/PowerPort-Hoc...79601842&sr=8-5&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3
This one is a bit pricy but allows for quite a bit of consolidation, while it also offers at least one QuickCharge port.
And once you've tested QuickCharge, it's difficult to go back
It's full metal and feels very solid. Hopefully it also doesn't waste power unless it is actually charging.
Ask me again in a year or two if they fulfilled their quality promises without killing any phone or tablet

Car charger

Looking for a car charger that supports quick charging 3.0, any recommendations

Anker has one on Amazon
Quick Charge 3.0 Anker 42W 2-Port USB Car Charger PowerDrive+ 2 with Quick Charge 3.0 and Quick Charge 2.0 with PowerIQ for Galaxy S7/S6/S6 Edge, iPhone, iPad, LG G5, Nexus, HTC and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A4ZGLZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_r5NdybADJDB08

I recommend this one!

If you're looking for more that 2 ports on a relatively small charger, this is the one I purchased and recommend.

I ordered this duel QC3 one and it's been working great
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01G5DVAQ8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works for my wife's v20 and my note 4 as a quick charge. I also bought USB C cables and micro usb to c connectors which have been working great as well.

Is probably one of the best deals on Amazon. Might be cheaper on ebay but I trust Amazon a little more. Only used them for a few days so we'll see how long they last. Good luck!

I ordered this charger:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B2BMIMS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also ordered this cable:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GO45EQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For some reason though, it'll charge my phone but it won't quick charge it. The lockscreen just says "charging" rather than "fast charging".
Anyone with this charger have the same issue?

I just plugged the usb cable which came with the phone into usb port and it works great

Do you trust 3rd party chargers?

This is my first foray into Android and I love the Pixel 2. It's great and I want to make sure I treat it well. Do you trust 3rd party wall chargers or do you think there is a risk they are bootleg and could damage the phone? I got one off Amazon and it seems to be ok so far, but who knows - (as a new user I can't post a link to the Amazon listing apparently). It's called "Google Quick Fast Charger Gray- Adapter with TYPE C to C Wire for Pixel/XL/C" and came in a discreet package not from Google.
Thanks

Do you know what brand it is? While Amazon is a more reputable dealer than searching on e-Bay...they too are not immune to junk...chargers that don't offer protection...or could result in electrocution. Did you look at the buyer rating to see that they were verified purchases and not fake reviews? What is the wattage and what version of Quickcharge does it support...ideally you want Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0 to maximize charge speed on this phone. I try to at least stick with more reputable brands...I bought an Anker charger from Amazon that supports both QuickCharge 3.0 and has spots for my wife's iPhone. No issues and quick charging.

Hi - Thanks for the advice. Not exactly sure the the tech specs on it. Here is what Amazon said: "Brand New Original By Google Quick Fast Charger 18W 1.8Amp with TYPE C Pin Color Gray"

IIRC,Google Pixels support USB Power Delivery standard, not Qualcomm Quick Charge. The charger that comes with the phone is a PD charger and you can tell this by the fact that it uses a type c connection at the charger and at the phone. It's supposed to be a safer, more universal standard for fast charging USB c devices.

PuffDaddy_d is correct...disregard my QC3 recommendation...although I do get pretty fast charging with it using a quality Type-A to Type-C cable (presumably because it is 18W). For optimum charging, recommendation for Pixel and Pixel 2 (including standard and XL) is USB-C PD standard. Disregard my charger recommendation although I would till recommend sticking to reviewing your brand...if the one you bought is the one by Google...then you're fine.

I don't think you can get fast charging on a Pixel phone with any USB A charger. I saw just Charging or Charging Slowly at the bottom of the screen on mine with USB A. I was super frustrated shopping on Amazon for chargers because there's just so many fake ones and I couldn't find a Benson list for good chargers. He had some charger criticisms on his Google+ page, but didn't make an Amazon list and searching on G+ makes my head hurt. I went with Monoprice specifically because they're certified; item 24424 for my car charger ($10) and I'm very happy with it. On the office charger, I haven't needed one, battery life has been good enough to not worry, but Monoprice has those at $17, item 24426 or 21674. None of the Monoprice chargers are bundled with a cable, so expect to add $5+ for one. My old Motorola Turbo QC2 wall charger and the iOrange QC3 car charger do no good for the Pixel 2 so I gave them to my dad. I know it probably looks like I'm shilling for Monoprice, but there's so much trash out there. Amazon really sucks at this. Walmart and Staples just plain don't have a real USB C cable in their stores, though Walmart does have a real Samsung USB A-C cable for the same price you'd pay for a two pack from Anker or Cable Matters on Amazon, and I think that's pretty OK for retail. The Nintendo stuff seems OK if you're in a pinch. Gamestop has a Hori car charger (15W, not Power Delivery, cable attached) for $20 and the Nintendo branded wall charger for $30 (39W, has Power Delivery, cable attached). There aren't always cell phone stores around when you're jammed up.

I'm currently using a Monoprice Charger also and a Cable Matters USB-C Charging Cable.

Better get one from this list:

Recommend a Third Party Charging Cables in the UK

I'm looking to purchase a 2nd charging cable for my Pixel 5.
Can anyone recommend one that works well in the UK please, preferably on Amazon or eBay please?
Thanks in advance.

I use these, very happy with them and they are nice and limp. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088NLK5P5

Anker hands down - Ive put the category for you below
Anker: USB-C to C Cables
USB-C to C Cables
www.amazon.co.uk
USB C to USB C Braided Cables

Just to add the braided Anker ones i recommended are floppy and flexible. The Anker Powerline III with its vinyl cover isn't, it is quite stiff and holds the shape of kinks and bends, i used it once and put it away as a spare.

Highly recommend Anker too. Fantastic lifetime warranty on some of their cables too.

I've had good results with both of Anker's cables and also QC2.0/3.0 power bricks.
However, prior to this device I used many HTC devices. Thus, I have many new HTC brand cables that I bought in the past, and I personally prefer them..however once my new Dell laptop comes in, I'll need to order more type-c to type-c cables. Which will most likely be Anker.
I also stick to with the Anker QC2.0 brick, as the battery tends to overheat using the provided brick + cable, and charging from 10-85% is plenty fast. (I use stock, if I need a faster charge)
After the atrocious battery degrading on the HTC 10, I've been more on top of trying to keep this battery in great shape.

I'm looking forward to giving their Powerline III Flow cables a go as it seems to remove the issues i mentioned with the standard Powerline III but they only do it with a lightning connector at the minute. Sadly Anker do seem to have gone all out to capture the Apple market, even the Anker Nano charger is being pushed as an iPhone charger which is a shame really given it is the charger i use daily with my Pixel 5.
