I found two Prime Day budget charger deals that don’t feel like cable-drawer junk

Anker is the tiny 30W travel pick, while Belkin is the better desk charger for two devices.

Best Prime Day Amazon Deals

Budget charger deals are everywhere during Prime Day, and this is one category where brand trust still counts. The best cheap charger deals pair a known name with enough wattage, useful ports, and a real discount. These Anker and Belkin picks clear that bar without asking for much money.

Anker Nano 30W USB-C charger

Pros
  • Ultra-compact, pocketable form factor
  • Convenient travel folding prongs
  • Fun, vibrant color options
Cons
  • Only one charging port
  • No included charging cable

The Anker Nano 30W charger is down to $12.34 from $19.99, which makes it 38% off. For a small USB-C wall charger, that’s a good enough price to keep one in a bag, nightstand drawer, or travel pouch.

The appeal is pretty simple. It’s compact, foldable, and pushes up to 30W over USB-C. That’s enough for fast charging many newer iPhones, Android phones, and smaller devices without carrying a chunky laptop charger around. The listing also includes GaN, PIQ 3.0, PPS fast charging, and MagSafe compatibility, which gives it a stronger spec sheet than the usual bargain-bin cube.

The Amazon signal is unusually strong for something this cheap. It has a 4.8-star average from more than 19,000 ratings, is marked as Amazon’s Choice, and has more than 10,000 bought in the past month. It ships from Amazon and is sold by AnkerDirect, which is exactly the kind of boring detail I want on a charger deal. The limitation is the single USB-C port, so this is best as a tiny fast charger for one device at a time.

Belkin Dual Port Charger Block 42W

Pros
  • Charges two devices simultaneously
  • Flexible dual-port connector pairing
  • Eco-friendly recycled plastic build
Cons
  • Noticeably larger than single-porters
  • Thicker, less pocketable footprint

For a desk or nightstand, Belkin’s Dual Port Charger Block is the more flexible pick. It’s listed at $16.13, down from $19.99, which works out to 19% off.

You get 42W total power, split between a 30W USB-C port and a 12W USB-A port. That’s handy if you want to fast-charge a phone while also topping up an Apple Watch, AirPods, older cable, or smaller accessory. It’s not as tiny as the Anker, but the second port makes it easier to live with when your charging setup already has more than one thing plugged in.

Belkin’s rating pool is smaller, but still reassuring: 4.7 stars from 424 ratings, plus an Amazon’s Choice badge. It ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, which keeps checkout and returns simple. I’d take the Anker for the smallest trusted fast charger, while the Belkin is the better fit if you’d rather charge two devices without packing a second brick.

The Oppo Find X10 is ridiculously stacked, and I haven’t even got to the cameras yet
Oppo Find X10 has two 200MP cameras and absolutely zero interest in playing it safe
Oppo Find X10

Oppo had me genuinely jaw-dropped with the Find X9 Pro and Ultra. Those phones showed just how far smartphone technology could go when a manufacturer decided to stop playing it safe. And now, we have the Find X10 series, with Oppo seemingly in no mood to take its foot off the accelerator.

For this first impressions review, I have the vanilla Find X10, not to be confused with its more capable sibling, the Pro Max. There is no Ultra model announced yet, but fingers crossed on a China-only variant. Pricing is around $1,400 and at that pricing you would normally except something capable enough - and boy, Oppo has already started flexing.
