Short answer: buy the Apple 40W if you only charge an iPhone, the Samsung 45W if you only charge a Galaxy, and an Anker Nano GaN charger if your home has both — or a laptop. Each charger is fastest on its own platform because iPhones fast-charge over USB Power Delivery while Samsung phones need PPS on top of it. Anker's Nano range supports both, which is why it is the safest single charger for a mixed-device household in Pakistan.
The Three Chargers at a Glance
| Charger | Output | Ports | Fast-charges | Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter (60W max) | 40W, up to 60W | 1 × USB-C | iPhone 17 series, iPad, AirPods | 6,499 (with braided cable) |
| Samsung 45W Adapter with cable | 45W PPS | 1 × USB-C | Galaxy S and Ultra models | 4,200 |
| Anker Nano 45W Smart Display | 45W PD + PPS | 1 × USB-C | iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel | 9,499 |
| Anker Nano 70W 3-Port | 70W shared | 3 ports | Phone + tablet + earbuds at once | 8,700 |
Apple 40W — Best for iPhone 17 Owners
Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is built for the iPhone 17 line, which Apple rates to reach about 50% in 20 minutes with it. It can push up to 60W when it detects a device that can take it, so it also charges an iPad Air or MacBook Air at a reasonable pace. On a Samsung phone it still works, but without PPS the Galaxy charges at standard speed, not Super Fast Charging. A 3-pin UK variant (Rs. 8,100) suits Pakistani wall sockets without an adapter.
Samsung 45W — Best Value for Galaxy Phones
At Rs. 4,200 with an original 5A cable, the Samsung 45W is the cheapest way to get Super Fast Charging 2.0 on a Galaxy S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra or S26 Ultra. It plugs into an iPhone and charges it over USB PD, but Apple's own charger is better tuned. If you own only Samsung devices, there is little reason to spend more.
Anker Nano GaN — Best for Mixed Households and Travel
Anker's GaN (gallium nitride) chargers are smaller and run cooler than older silicon bricks — a real benefit in a Karachi or Multan summer. The Nano 45W Smart Display supports both PD and PPS, so it fast-charges an iPhone and a Galaxy equally, and its screen shows live wattage so you can see whether a cable is limiting speed. For a family with three devices, the Nano 70W 3-port charges a phone, tablet and earbuds together for less than two separate bricks. If you need more headroom for a MacBook Pro, the Anker Nano 100W (Rs. 14,300) is the step up.
Which One Should You Buy?
- Only an iPhone: Apple 40W.
- Only a Galaxy: Samsung 45W.
- iPhone and Galaxy in one home: Anker Nano 45W.
- Several devices at once, or travel: Anker Nano 70W 3-port.
- Laptop plus phone: Anker Nano 100W or Apple 40W (60W max) for a MacBook Air.
Don't Forget the Cable
Every charger here is limited by its cable. Samsung's 45W needs a 5A cable — the one included with the AvaNext listing qualifies. For iPhone 15 to 17, use a genuine Apple USB-C 240W cable (Rs. 3,450).
Fake Chargers — The Real Risk in Pakistan
All three brands are heavily copied. Fakes usually weigh less, carry blurry print, and fail Pakistan's voltage swings and load-shedding surges quickly. Test any charger on your phone before paying: an iPhone should show fast charging within minutes, and a Galaxy should display "Super fast charging." Cash on Delivery from a seller that lets you check the product is the simplest protection.
