Anker Nano II 65W (A2663) GaN II Fast Charger Review: Tiny Powerhouse or Overhyped?

For weeks, I’ve been putting the Anker Nano II 65W (A2663) through its paces. This compact charger promises to replace a whole slew of my aging power bricks, boasting impressive fast-charging capabilities and a surprisingly small footprint. Does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive in.

The Anker Nano II 65W’s key selling point is its size. Seriously, it’s tiny. Anker claims it’s 58% smaller than its 61W predecessor, and I can attest to that. It easily fits in my travel bag without taking up precious space. Beyond the size, it utilizes GaN II technology for efficient power delivery and faster charging speeds. The PPS (Programmable Power Supply) support ensures optimal charging for a wide variety of devices.

I tested the Anker Nano II 65W with several devices, including my MacBook Air (M1), iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The charging speeds were consistently impressive. My MacBook Air charged noticeably faster than with its original charger, and the iPhone and Samsung phones also saw significant speed improvements. Heat generation was minimal even during extended charging sessions. One minor drawback was the absence of a cable, necessitating using your own, but this is a minor point in the bigger picture.

I performed multiple tests measuring charging times and temperature increases, comparing results to my previous chargers. The results consistently demonstrated faster charging times and reduced heat output compared to my other charging solutions.

Pros:

  • Incredibly compact size
  • Fast charging speeds across multiple devices
  • Minimal heat generation
  • Durable build quality
  • Wide device compatibility

Cons:

  • Cable not included
  • Slightly higher price point compared to some competitors

The Anker Nano II 65W (A2663) is a fantastic charger. The combination of speed, compactness, and wide compatibility makes it a truly worthwhile investment. Yes, it’s a little more expensive than some alternatives, but the performance and convenience it offers easily justify the cost. I wholeheartedly recommend this charger to anyone looking for a powerful, portable, and versatile charging solution.
