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.

Google's New Android Scam Protection Feature

Scammers are getting smarter and more tech-savvy with each passing day, abusing phone features that can be used against you. So Google is rolling out a new Android security update, which aims to make some of those workarounds harder to pull off.

Android is getting several new scam protections spanning Google Messages, screen sharing, notifications, and call forwarding. One of the handy security upgrades is with screen sharing. Android can now automatically black out login fields and payment screens so sensitive information doesn't appear in the live feed when you stream the contents of your display through Chrome or an Android Web. The feature starts rolling out this month on devices running Android 15 or newer.

Samsung Health now needs just 3 days of sleep data to coach you toward better sleep
Samsung is making its Sleep Coaching feature easier to access while adding more personalized advice and clearer sleep reports.
Samsung health sleep tracking

Samsung is making it much easier to get started with Sleep Coaching in the Samsung Health app. With its latest update, you only need three days of sleep data from the past two weeks to begin, down from seven days in a month.

I think that’s a welcome change. Sleep Tracking only tells you how you slept, while Sleep Coaching tries to help you build better sleep habits. Lowering the requirement means you reach the more useful feature much sooner.
