Alongside beefy wall chargers that can power up several devices simultaneously, Anker continues to refine the design and engineering of its basic single-port USB-C AC adapters making them smaller and smaller. Its new Nano 45W charger is now just 1.45 inches long and weighs 52 grams, which is about 17 grams lighter than the last version.

The charger is currently only available through Amazon for $34.99, and Anker includes a six-foot long USB-C charging cable.

Anker’s previous smallest 45W charger, the Nano II 713, measured 1.49 x 1.38 x 1.62 inches in size and weighed 69 grams. The new version shrinks that to 1.30 × 1.26 × 1.45 inches and 52 grams. It’s still even lighter when you factor in the extra weight of the bundled USB-C cable, which pushes the total weight to 58 grams.

As with older iterations, Anker’s new 45W Nano charger supports Samsung’s Super Fast Charging functionality which takes advantage of a USB Power Delivery (PD) specification called PPS. You can charge a dead Samsung S25 Ultra to around 70 percent capacity in 30 minutes, or fully recharge it in just under an hour.
