GaN chargers are worth considering when you want relatively high output from a compact charger, especially for travel or a crowded power board. This guide is specifically about GaN designs; for a broader mix that also includes a simple lower-power phone charger, see our general USB-C charger guide.
I have not personally tested these chargers. The picks below are based on current Amazon Australia product pages and listed output specifications.
Quick picks
- Best dual-USB-C 65W option — Belkin 65W Dual USB-C GaN Charger. A compact two-port option for compatible USB-C devices. Check on Amazon Australia.
- Best compact 3-port 65W option — UGREEN Nexode 65W. Adds a USB-A port alongside two USB-C ports. View on Amazon Australia.
- Best higher-output 100W option — UGREEN Nexode 100W 4-Port GaN Charger. More single-port headroom and four charging ports. See it on Amazon Australia.
1. Belkin 65W Dual USB-C GaN Charger — best for two USB-C devices
Best for: buyers who want a compact Australian-plug charger with two USB-C ports and no USB-A port.
Belkin lists USB-C PD 3.0, up to 65W from one USB-C port, and 45W + 20W when both USB-C ports are active.
Trade-off: using both ports reduces the maximum available to the primary device. Avoid it if you need a USB-A port or more than 45W to a laptop while charging a second device.
2. UGREEN Nexode 65W — best compact three-port option
Best for: a laptop, phone and legacy USB-A accessory from one compact Australian-plug charger.
The UGREEN listing identifies GaN II technology, two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with up to 65W available from a supported single USB-C connection.
Trade-off: output is redistributed when several ports are used. Avoid it if you need 65W from more than one port at the same time.
3. UGREEN Nexode 100W 4-Port GaN Charger — best higher-output option
Best for: buyers who want more single-port headroom and four charging ports in one GaN unit.
The current Amazon Australia listing identifies GaN II technology, three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with up to 100W available under supported single-port conditions.
Trade-off: 100W is not available from every port simultaneously. Avoid it if you assume the headline wattage is per-port or if your devices cannot use the extra output.
What to check before buying
- Australian plug: confirm the listing is the AU-plug version.
- Single-port output: match the relevant USB-C port to your laptop or tablet requirement.
- Shared output: multi-port combinations reduce or redistribute power.
- Cable rating: your USB-C cable must support the required wattage. See our USB-C cable guide.
Buyer’s guide
Choose 65W for many thin-and-light laptop setups and 100W when your compatible notebook can use the extra headroom. If your main goal is charging many devices from one desk station rather than compact GaN size, see our multi-port USB charger guide.
FAQ
Does GaN mean every device charges faster?
No. GaN describes charger technology; the device, charging protocol and cable still determine the usable charging rate.
Will a 100W charger always deliver 100W?
No. That is a maximum under supported conditions, usually from a specific USB-C port with an appropriate device and cable.
Do all ports provide the headline wattage?
No. Check the manufacturer’s power-distribution table for the exact port combination.
Conclusion
The Belkin is the clean dual-USB-C 65W option, UGREEN Nexode 65W adds a USB-A port, and the UGREEN 100W model offers more headroom.
