Anker USB C Charger 65W, 725 Charger, Ultra-Compact Dual-Port Foldable Travel Wall Charger Review (2026)

Who this charger fits

The Anker 725 is aimed at travelers who have not fully left USB-A behind. Rather than pairing two USB-C ports, it combines one USB-C port with one USB-A port, which suits anyone still carrying a USB-A cable for a camera, a headlamp, an older power bank or budget earbuds alongside a modern USB-C laptop or phone. That mixed layout is genuinely useful for a transitional tech pouch where not every accessory has switched to USB-C yet. Travelers who have already gone all-in on USB-C across every device may prefer a charger with two USB-C ports instead, since the USB-A port would go unused. For a one-bag kit that mixes old and new cables, this charger's combination is a practical middle ground.

What the specs mean day to day

This charger uses GaN II technology to fit 65W of output into an ultra-compact shell. On its own, the USB-C port can output up to 65W, enough for most USB-C laptops, while the USB-A port tops out at 22.5W, suitable for phones and smaller accessories rather than laptops. When both ports are used at the same time, output is shared, with the USB-C port dropping to a lower wattage while the USB-A port continues at its own rate, so a laptop charging alongside a phone will charge slower than if it had the port to itself. The folding prongs keep the compact body snag-free in a bag, and the plug is fixed in a US shape, so it needs a separate adapter for outlets outside North America and similarly shaped regions.

Packing and everyday use

Day to day, the appeal is being able to plug in a laptop and an older USB-A accessory from the same wall socket without hunting for two outlets, which matters in hotel rooms with limited plugs near the bed. The compact body and folding prongs make it easy to toss into a tech pouch alongside cables without extra bulk. Because charging speed drops when both ports are active, it is worth plugging in whichever device needs the fastest charge, typically the laptop, on its own first if time allows, then adding the second device once the laptop nears a full charge. Travelers heading outside the US will still need to pack a separate plug adapter, since this charger's prongs do not fold into other regional shapes.

How it stacks up against other chargers

Against the Anker Nano, its single-port sibling, the 725 adds the USB-A port at the cost of a slightly larger body, which is worthwhile for anyone still using USB-A cables. Compared with the UGREEN 65W travel adapter, which also offers a USB-A port but adds swappable international plugs, the 725 is more compact but leaves plug adapters to the rest of your kit. Chargers built around two USB-C ports, without a USB-A option, will suit travelers who have replaced every cable with USB-C, but they leave older accessories without a home. For a mixed-cable kit, the 725's one USB-C, one USB-A layout remains a sensible pick despite the shared power when both ports run together.

Bottom line

Choose this charger if you still rely on at least one USB-A cable for an accessory and want a compact charger that covers both cable types from a single outlet. Its size makes it easy to carry as a secondary charger even if you already own a bigger multi-port station. Skip it if every device in your kit has already moved to USB-C, since the USB-A port would sit unused, or if you travel internationally often, since the fixed US prongs mean you will still need a separate adapter for other regions.
