Introduction

The Goui G-MINI20W-K 20W wall travel charger promises fast and efficient charging for a variety of devices. Boasting both Power Delivery and Qualcomm 3.0 Quick Charge technologies, this compact charger aims to be the ultimate travel companion. I’ve put it through its paces over the last few weeks, testing its performance with various devices, and I’m ready to share my in-depth review.

Features

The G-MINI20W-K’s key selling point is its dual charging capabilities. It supports Power Delivery for compatible Apple devices, promising rapid charging speeds for iPhones and iPads. The inclusion of Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 means it also excels with Android devices supporting this technology. The compact design makes it ideal for travel, easily fitting into a bag or pocket without adding significant bulk. The build quality feels robust, suggesting it can withstand the rigors of frequent use and travel.

Performance

I tested the G-MINI20W-K with an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Samsung Galaxy S22. The iPhone charged impressively quickly, reaching around 50% charge in under 30 minutes, which is inline with Apple’s fast charging claims. The Samsung Galaxy S22 also showed noticeable speed improvements compared to using a standard charger, though not quite as dramatic as the iPhone. I also tested it with several other devices, all experiencing notably improved charging times. Throughout testing, the charger remained cool to the touch, even during extended charging sessions.

One area that could be improved is the lack of a USB-A port. While the two USB-C ports cover most modern devices, older devices using USB-A might require an additional adapter.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Compact design, supports both Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, fast charging speeds, robust build quality, remains cool during use.
• Cons: Lacks a USB-A port, potentially limiting its compatibility with older devices.

Final Verdict

The Goui G-MINI20W-K is a solid travel charger that delivers on its promise of fast and efficient charging. Its support for both Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 makes it versatile, catering to a wide range of devices. While the lack of a USB-A port is a minor drawback, it’s easily outweighed by its strengths. Overall, I highly recommend the G-MINI20W-K to anyone looking for a compact and powerful charger for their daily needs or travel adventures. It consistently delivered rapid charging and a reliable performance across various devices.
