Background

Anker announced a super fantastic charger recently. The charger, dubbed the Anker Powerport Atom PD 1, is the first charger on the market to use Gallium Nitride (GaN) components. This makes the device slimmer, lighter, and more efficient than conventional wall chargers. Does that mean conventional silicon devices could be replaced by Gan?

Key Point:40% smaller, 2.5x Faster

It is small but mighty. With a body slightly bigger than a 5W stock smartphone charger and weighing only 2.2 oz, the Atom is small enough to comfortably fit in your front pocket. Its output is 27W. It can charge 2.5x faster for your devices. Charge up to 50% in 30 mins for iPhone 8+. 27w output with USB-C Power delivery power enough to charge iPad Pro 2018 and even MacBook.

Campaign:Anker is giving away 100 chargers for users. Sign up and get a chance to win 1 of 100!
