6 Best Fast Chargers for the Nothing Phone (2)

The Nothing Phone (2) brings a few welcome changes while retaining the same design ethos as the Nothing Phone (1). That’s not all; much like its predecessor, the smartphone doesn’t come with a charger in the box. That’s quite disappointing, especially if you don’t own a USB-C charger. Well, fret not, as we’ve listed some of the best fast chargers for the Nothing Phone (2) you can buy today.

Unlike its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2) supports a maximum charging speed of 45W. As such, we’ve aggregated a list of chargers that output at or above 45W. We’ve included a host of options ranging from mini adapters to powerhouses that can even charge your laptop. Pick the one that suits your usage the best. But before that –

• Want to avoid cables on your desk? A wireless charger for the Nothing Phone (2) can make charging convenient.
• If you want to charge multiple devices at once, a GaN charger with PD is the way to go.
• Juice up your Nothing Phone (2) on the move using a USB-C car charger with power delivery.

1. Official Nothing Phone (2) Fast Charger

• Wattage: 45W
• Ports: 1 x USB-C

Interestingly, thanks to the charger’s output wattage, you can use it to top-up a MacBook Air too. As such, you only need to carry one adapter when you’re on the go. For anyone curious, the adapter supports Quick Charge 4 along with USB-PD.

Do note that the charger only comes with a single USB-C port. The UGREEN Nexode charger – which is listed below – offers two ports. Despite that, the Nexode outputs at 45W as well. So, if you don’t need a first-party accessory, you should check out the options that follow.

2. Anker Ace 313 USB-C GaN Charger

• Wattage: 45W
• Ports: 1 x USB-C

Needless to say, if you’re looking for the best Nothing Phone (2) charger to throw in your backpack, the Anker Ace 313 is your best bet. The 45W output is sufficient to charge the Nothing Phone (2) at the max charging speed. It also takes up very little space on your wall outlet or power strip.

The cherry on top is that Anker’s Ace charger is quite affordable. As such, it makes for a more compelling buy than the official adapter. Additionally, the adapter supports 45W PPS charging, so you should be able to use it with an iPhone too.

3. Belkin USB-C Wall Charger

• Wattage: 45W
• Ports: 2 x USB-C

Belkin’s adapter makes sense if you charge your phone and smartwatch overnight. You can plug in both devices and wake up to a full charge in the morning. But if you’re in a hurry, ensure you only use one USB-C port for the max power. For the uninitiated, the adapter outputs at 25W and 20W when both ports are engaged.

The device comes with etching alongside each connector to help you identify the ports better. While not the quickest, the adapter should suffice for charging an accessory like a smartwatch, or a pair of headphones alongside your Phone (2). We should also add that the adapter is quite compact and won’t take up too much space in your backpack. If you want, you can also snag a variant with a USB-C cable included.

4. UGREEN Nexode

• Wattage: 45W
• Ports: 2 x USB-C

Even with the power split, the UGREEN Nexode can charge the Nothing Phone (2) at a rapid pace. It goes without saying that you could fast-charge the device at the best possible speeds by using just one connector. You can even charge a MacBook Air or a small Windows laptop of your choice. As such, the UGREEN Nexode is the best alternative to Nothing’s official charger.

Along with providing an extra USB-C port, the Nexode also gets foldable prongs making it handy for traveling. Reviews say the charger is reliable and delivers the promised speeds. It gets slightly hot with extended usage, but that’s the case with most fast-charging adapters.

5. Baseus USB-C Charger With Cable

• Wattage: 140W
• Ports: 2 x USB-C, 1 x USB-A

If you’re on the lookout for a universal do-it-all charger to charge all your devices, the Baseus USB-C charger is your best bet. It can charge a powerful laptop, your Nothing Phone (2), and any accessory of your choice — all at once.

The maximum output of 140W is achieved only with a single USB-C port in use. But even if you plan on charging your laptop and phone together, the primary USB-C port can still output at 100W, which should suffice for most users. Baseus is also kind enough to bundle a lengthy USB-C cable in the box, which is a nice inclusion.

6. Anker 2-in-1 Hybrid Charger

• Wattage: 65W
• Ports: 2 x USB-C, 1 x USB-A

Once charged, you can unplug the Anker charger and use it like a standard power bank. Isn’t that cool? Moreover, the power bank itself outputs 30W of power which can fast-charge the Nothing Phone (2) — but not at full speed. If you want full power, plug it into a wall outlet, and you can easily use it to charge the Phone (2) or a powerful laptop like the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

Reviews cite that the device is an absolute must-have when traveling or even during long commutes. It frees two birds with one stone and can fast-charge your Phone (2) seamlessly. It is slightly expensive, but if you fancy the extra functionality, the Anker 2-in-1 hybrid charger is a fantastic accessory to have in your arsenal.

Charge Swiftly and Efficiently

Most smartphones don’t ship with a charger. So if you bought the Nothing Phone (2), don’t be bummed with the lack of accessories. You can simply pick up any of the best fast chargers for the Nothing Phone (2) mentioned above, and you will be good to go.
