Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W review
If you’ve ever wished you could charge multiple devices simultaneously, the Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W (I know, quite the name) is a practical solution.
This charger packs in three USB-C ports, a maximum output of 67W and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) tech, which adjusts the model’s power automatically to fit the needs of your devices, enabling an “optimum” charge. That’s a pretty comprehensive package, especially given this model has a fairly moderate list price of $44.99 / £39.99 /AU$89.95. Some may still want access to a USB-A port, but fear not, there are alternatives – see the ‘Also consider’ section for more.
But can it keep up with some of the best iPhone chargers and best Android phone chargers when it comes to performance? Well, in my experience, yes. I tried charging the Samsung Galaxy 24 FE alongside the Anker Soundcore Space One Pro and LG Tone Free T90S and was pleased with the results. The Samsung phone went from 0% to 100% in 80 minutes – exactly what I’m used to from my everyday charger, the UGreen Uno Charger 100W.
For reference, this charger can supply 67W charging in single-port mode, 45W from Port 1 and 20W from Port 2 in double mode, and 25W from Port 1 as well as 20W from remaining ports when triple-charging. That will likely be enough for most people, but there are some devices, like the OnePlus 13 phone, for instance, that support 80W charging – so make sure 67W will be enough juice to go around for your phones, laptops, tablets and more.
Unfortunately, though, I did have to use my own cables to charge my devices. There are no USB-C cables included in the box for UK buyers – something you get with a handful of similarly priced models. And although this is still a solid-value charger overall, that really would’ve taken it up a notch for me.
One more thing I would’ve liked to see from the Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port is foldable prongs – at least for the UK model. The US model has this, so if you’re on the other side of the pond, expect ultimate portability. But the lack of foldable prongs in the UK is a little frustrating, as if you want to slide the charger into your pocket, for example, it might end up poking into you. Ultimately, it is still very small though, making it ideal for use in tight spaces – a huge plus in my book.
Otherwise, the design is solid here. This Belkin charger doesn’t do anything fancy, there are no exciting colors like you’d get from the Anker Nano USB-C Wall Charger (30W) and no display. Still, its tiny form, elegant finish and curved look makes it a hit, all things considered. And overall, I’d say this is a good multi-port charger, worth your consideration. The lack of a USB-C cable and foldable prongs is a bit of a blow, but otherwise, this model’s small size and strong performance had me feeling satisfied.
