GaN (gallium nitride) chargers deliver more power in a smaller, cooler package than traditional silicon chargers. Here is why they are worth it.
GaN vs traditional silicon chargers
| Factor | Silicon charger | GaN charger |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Bulky | Much smaller |
| Heat | Runs hot | Runs cooler |
| Efficiency | Lower | Higher |
| Power output | Lower per size | Higher per size |
Why GaN matters
GaN semiconductors switch power more efficiently than silicon, which means less heat and wasted energy. That lets manufacturers shrink chargers dramatically while increasing output — a 65W GaN charger can be barely bigger than a 20W silicon one.
What to look for
- Wattage: 45W for phones, 65–100W for laptops and multi-device charging.
- Multiple USB-C ports for charging several devices at once.
- PD support for the fastest charging.
