Budget charger deals are everywhere during Prime Day, and this is one category where brand trust still counts. The best cheap charger deals pair a known name with enough wattage, useful ports, and a real discount. These Anker and Belkin picks clear that bar without asking for much money.

Anker Nano 30W USB-C charger

Pros
  • Ultra-compact, pocketable form factor
  • Convenient travel folding prongs
  • Fun, vibrant color options
Cons
  • Only one charging port
  • No included charging cable

The Anker Nano 30W charger is down to $12.34 from $19.99, which makes it 38% off. For a small USB-C wall charger, that’s a good enough price to keep one in a bag, nightstand drawer, or travel pouch.

The appeal is pretty simple. It’s compact, foldable, and pushes up to 30W over USB-C. That’s enough for fast charging many newer iPhones, Android phones, and smaller devices without carrying a chunky laptop charger around. The listing also includes GaN, PIQ 3.0, PPS fast charging, and MagSafe compatibility, which gives it a stronger spec sheet than the usual bargain-bin cube.

The Amazon signal is unusually strong for something this cheap. It has a 4.8-star average from more than 19,000 ratings, is marked as Amazon’s Choice, and has more than 10,000 bought in the past month. It ships from Amazon and is sold by AnkerDirect, which is exactly the kind of boring detail I want on a charger deal. The limitation is the single USB-C port, so this is best as a tiny fast charger for one device at a time.

Belkin Dual Port Charger Block 42W

Pros
  • Charges two devices simultaneously
  • Flexible dual-port connector pairing
  • Eco-friendly recycled plastic build
Cons
  • Noticeably larger than single-porters
  • Thicker, less pocketable footprint

For a desk or nightstand, Belkin’s Dual Port Charger Block is the more flexible pick. It’s listed at $16.13, down from $19.99, which works out to 19% off.

You get 42W total power, split between a 30W USB-C port and a 12W USB-A port. That’s handy if you want to fast-charge a phone while also topping up an Apple Watch, AirPods, older cable, or smaller accessory. It’s not as tiny as the Anker, but the second port makes it easier to live with when your charging setup already has more than one thing plugged in.

Belkin’s rating pool is smaller, but still reassuring: 4.7 stars from 424 ratings, plus an Amazon’s Choice badge. It ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, which keeps checkout and returns simple. I’d take the Anker for the smallest trusted fast charger, while the Belkin is the better fit if you’d rather charge two devices without packing a second brick.

We finally got a peek at Android 17’s Nintendo DS-like gaming trick
Your Android foldable may soon double as a mini gaming handheld
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Foldable phones have really matured in recent years, and my time with the Motorola Razr Fold really cemented that idea. Apart from the novelty of having a flexible screen, brands are baking in unique features that really take advantage of the foldable mechanism and laptop-like orientations.

Now, Android 17 might look past just productivity and offer a new way to experience video games. A sneak peek shared on Reddit by Mishaal Rahman shows a new foldable gaming mode. It is a platform feature coming with Android 17. Simply unfold your phone, launch a compatible game, and Android can split the screen into two halves. The top half runs the game itself, while the bottom half turns into a dedicated virtual gamepad. If this reminds you of old handheld gaming devices like the Nintendo DS, you're spot on!

It makes Apple Music look more like a dedicated music player again. To make the experience more immersive, the developer even made a dedicated case for it.
