Wow, thank you!!

[@adalbert93_75]

Ikea 45W wins imo (my current daily driver)- half the price, twice the amount of ports, very similar performance, equally safety listed and above all - both ports can provide 22W each (at 20V!). Great test as always!

[@pdscoelho]

Google charger can reach 21V for max charging speed of the pixel 9 xl pro

[@mkohagan]

Do you know if it'll fast charge a Pixel 9 Pro? And what device(s) do you charge with it?

[@tonybowen455]

Thanks for these. Good to see the goog official charger doing so well. I just ordered the anker 313 45w for my pixel 9 pro xl based on your videos and anecdotal testing from ppl online. The ikea 45w one that you also reviewed looks great for a non xl.

THANKS = this confirmed that I did actually buy the proper plug - especially my mom who also did on Amazon and I wasn't totally sure if she got the google OEM part - and she luckily did get the real deal.

[@ricsip]

@1:51 hold on for a sec.. a cable plugged in (no actual device plugged into the other end of that cable) already qualifies for a "light load"? What does that remark means in practicality? Didnt really understood what you tried to imply here..

[@roge0]

@@ricsip I believe some, but not all, cables draw power even with no device attached. I think it's because they have some active electronics inside them for various purposes. Apple Lightning cables have a chip for the MFi certification, MagSafe pucks have to power the inductive coil, etc.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yes, that is correct. A standard USB C to C cable won't draw any power though.

[@olivierpagnier9692]

Do you plan to market your own charger one day (that you designed and tested) ?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I doubt it. It's a possible task, but the two biggest limiting factors are time and money. A more likely path is something like what EEVblog does, get an OEM to adapt a current model of charger per my specifications and slap my name on it, even that would take years.

Nice review, 45W is enough for some of the smaller thin-and-light laptops, and with the efficiency it should stand 100% output quite well 👍 Agree about the shape, looks like half a bar of soap 😆 They could have moulded some grips or texture on there somewhere...🙄

[@roge0]

Excellent video! Pleased to see the Google adapters are still a solid (albeit expensive) option. Random question, have you ever considered testing adapters for RF emissions? I have a single-port Amazon Basics 30W adapter that seems to interfere with my TV receiving over-the-air ATSC broadcasts. Not sure if this is your wheel house or if you see this as in-scope for your videos, but I'd love to know your thoughts nonetheless. Love your videos and the work that you do!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I can’t get into RF stuff yet. I do see as in scope but it is very expensive to have confidence the results have value. I’m sure some adapters will have surprising results.

[@MY-qi8wq]

Probably not an ideal solution, but wrapping the power adapter with aluminium foil might fix the issue for you.

[@magnus88se]

Amazing channel. Watching from Sweden.

Hello.

[@99999me1]

Great reviews! Have you tested/used any of those usb c trigger cables for fixed voltages?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I have, I think there's a couple of them in the USB cables list. I need to add more, the companies that make those pop up and disappear so fast it's not really worth keeping track.

[@DevDev-w7n]

Hello, this Google 45w charger is great for Google phones - 9 pro XL specifically chrges from 0-70% in 30 mins. Please please suggest another aftermarket charger that can charge with same exact speed. Untill now I only found an option that could charge the Pixel 9 pro XL about 60% in 30 mins but nothing in exact comparison to the original Google charger. 70 percent in 30 mins - the max capacity of latest Google phones

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

With the number of chargers on the market there are likely 100's of options that will match this charger but this is the device that google sells for the phones so yeah, it better be good.

[@tonybowen455]

@@AllThingsOnePlace I wish. The 21v pps for the 9 xl narrows down the options. Goog official, samsung 45w, ugreen nexode 65w, anker 313 45w seem to be the most popular.

[@jack1243star]

What's up with the unit of the THD value? >200% distortion looks like a spec for guitar pedals ;)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that's the AC side current harmonic, with power supplies like this they draw all the power in a really short quick high current burst then do nothing the rest of the cycle.

[@albertbs7756]

Great video as usual In replying on one of the comments last video you suggested satechi 165 w as a better choice among the chargers we have (including the new ankers ) Whats your review in the new one from satechi with 200 w ? Im about to buy a one well confused a bit Hope get the answer

Hello, thank you for this perfect video. I have a question, can we charge a Nintendo Switch with it ? (39W) Which profile will be used ? There are dangers ?

[@barteczekz]

I'm planning to get one for my Pixel 8 Pro. Mainly because of the issues it has with so many charging bricks including Ugreen and Beseus - any tips on how to identify the ones that will cause current fluctuations on P8P? Do you think it can be solved with an update since it got broke after one?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I think this charger is made to be compatible with pixel devices so worth a shot.

[@keshav8497]

wait what ? I just ordered amazon basics 65w for my pixel 8. Google 45w is almost twice the price and comes with half the ports and less wattage.

[@barteczekz]

@@keshav8497 I'm not saying it won't work properly but be sure to check charging speed and in batter settings if you don't get the "connected not charging" status. Or just get an app to see if it stable. And please let us know how it went (and did you return;)

[@FAB1150]

​@@barteczekz I think it was (and is) mostly a software thing with the P8Ps, there was a bug introduced in beta3 (like, early may) that they carried into every subsequent update until recently that caused the phone to freak out while charging and severely limiting itself. When I shut the phone off it charged completely normally at full power, so I'm guessing it was software. A fairly recent update got it back to (almost) normal for me. Granted, I'm in the beta channel, but two of my friends with pixels had the same experience I use the 30W ugreen charger, a 65W Anker one, as well as baseus and a random 65w Huawei one I got with my laptop

[@barteczekz]

@@FAB1150 Thank you for the hope! Let's see what happens when I get Android 15. BTW I noticed it while using Ugreen 35W model and Beseus 65W GaN3 (but only on one of the ports).

[@feojija2313]

Hi, can you review the Essager 65W powerbank? Or what can you say just from the specs. Thanls

[@HudsonK-nq5yy]

It seems as though the single-port chargers are the ones that have the lowest idle power usage.

[@kasraeskandari2183]

i would love to have a small on/off switch next to my power sockets the way they have them in the UK

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Mm yeah. Solves that idle power pretty quickly.

[@NadirASL]

Will it charge the Pixel 8a ? (Max 18W) ? Didn't find the good profile ... (5*3 = 15W) ?

[@TommyThousandFaces]

I wish charger companies stopped chasing a dollar to make devices like these. We've been doing AC for 150 years now, it shouldn't be that difficult to put together decent power supplies/chargers.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I wonder that often. If it wasn't all about dollars what would these companies make.

[@TommyThousandFaces]

I meant to say chase every little cent of profit, penny pinching on components and engineering instead of leaving beind some profit on the table for decent products. They aren't no profit that I know, but it's maximizing profit that's keeping industries back most of the time, in my opinion.

[@5DiFika]

i don´t get it, so google sells you a phone that is $1000 dollars and they don´t include a charger with it, just a normal usb-c cable, so they sell you the charger for $30bucks separate, and when you open the box there is no usb-c cable in it! so you have to buy a 45W compatible usb-c CABLE also?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I'd assume the C cable that comes with the phone works.

[@ELaster1]

General question 😊 I live outside of the US; different plug, different voltage, etc. Does it matter, in terms of product performance? If it possible that you review something that is great, and for me it would be not-so-great?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, you mean like this one? It did worse on 230V-50Hz.

[@jcadag8789]

Hi can you tell us in depth about USB tester how accurate they read cheap vs the more expensive Finirsi and one very common tester that looks generic that is shaped like an X with the display is in the middle and various usb plugs on each end of the cross. I was intrigue about cheaper generic tester because it is priced about 10 to 15 us $ here in my country while the Finirsi cost about 40 to 50 US$. I have seen both products in USA Amazon. The cheaper x shaped tester has a lot of features like showing a graph how steady the voltage is coming out of a USB adapter. The cheaper x shaped tester also has a more expensive version that blue probably it comes with an app so you can see the readings on a bigger screen in the phone. The Finirsi brands looks more accurate or made from better components and looks better designed.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I couldn’t even get the cheap one, x shaped, to work most of the time. There is certainly a trade off in performance though. The real cheap stuff is going to have a worse voltage reference, cheaper current shunt (higher tolerance), so unit to unit variability will be high as well as absolute accuracy of the unit. It would make an interesting comparison though.

[@jcadag8789]

@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks for the reply.

[@fayth78]

Hate single USB port chargers. Btw would like to know what are the best cables to get for endgame use hehe

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

There’s so many cables… it’s like a game of whack a mole finding bad ones. Most usb c to c cables function acceptably. Use the shortest one that meets your needs.

[@feieralarm]

No 12V mode is an instant no from me. I have converted so many devices that would require 12V wallwarts to USB-PD, that it's become absolutely vital.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, it seems to be going away on more and more chargers.

[@LoganT547]

Use the 15V mode and add a 12V voltage regulator. That way it automatically steps your 15V input down to 12V.

Hi bro, I love your videos and appreciate your efforts. Can you test Samsung's new chargers: 45W: EP-T4511 vs EP-TA845, 50W Duo charger: EP-T5020. It says 50w duo supports super fast charging 2.0 for C1 and for C2 it is only super fast charging. I'm dubious if I charge two devices at the same time, C1 is said to lose 2.0 speed, is that true

[@alienmars180]

Totally unrelated but I’ve fallen into the charging rabbit hole the past 3 days. What does anyone recommend to charge two MacBooks on the go?

Depends on the MacBook, but the Satechi 165W or the Anker 747 charger are larger wattage options.

[@jammies701]

I don't think I'd call this a premium product, it's just expensive. Maybe in 2013. Just 1 port devices really, really have to do something special in 2024. It's just not really a realistic use case for anyone that needs a charger in any situation other than maybe bedside charging or a random extra port by a sitting area Myself need 5-6 ports at my desk and even places I have 1 port id really like 2 If you can get by with just 1 single-port charger, then it feels more like you really just have 1-2 devices, which, fair play, or you didn't need an extra one anyway

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, it is very efficient though and the idle power is excellent. It's probably the best charger for things like IoT devices that mostly only need low power then occasionally need a few to several watts. They did optimize for the test methods available. In terms of only one port, yeah, I agreee it should have at a minimum 2 ports. Even if the other port was only 5W or 10W, it'd be fine for watches or headphones, even a LED lamp.
