Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger Review + Comparison Between A2688 vs A2688

Please note that any links to online stores may be affiliates. The company or PR agency typically provides all or most review samples, but they have no control over my content, and I always provide my honest opinion.

Following my review of the impressive Anker Prime 200W GaN Charging Station, I have now explored the new Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger, identified by the model number A2688.

It can be confusing to differentiate between products with similar names from companies like Anker and Ugreen. In the case of Anker, they currently offer two chargers with almost identical names:

– Anker Prime Charger (100W, 3 Ports, GaN): Model number A2688 with an RRP of £69.99
– Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger (3 Ports): Model number A2343 with an RRP of £75.98
