Rob ⚡️ i bought this in orange after Geekyranjit ’s video. Was looking for a fast, reliable,multiport adapter with both type A and C ports. Been using it now for about 2-3 weeks and I am satisfied. Charges my phone2, iPad air and a noise smart watch all together. No need to find multiple sockets across the house. My only issue is the adaptor size which at certain socket points in my house does not fit properly. It overlaps the switch next to it making a bit awkward position connect with the socket. Facing this issue with all big adapters like my old OnePlus and oppo phone chargers too. Other than that, excellent product. The orange shade is a great change from the usual monochrome themes of electronics and it’s mellow enough to not feel too tangy.

Rahul is it EU plug type? EDIT: sorry mate, I checked your thread on X and saw it. So I still don’t know if EU version exist.. 🥲

This is my go to charger all day everyday! It has replaced the multitude of chargers I carried around with me on the daily which included an Apple MacBook Charger and the Nothing Charger. Having 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port I can throw this in my bag or use it around the house knowing ,regardless of device I need to power up or charge, this single charger has me covered. I typically use it to charge my Nothing Phone (2), Ear (2), and my MacBook. However, my kids have also borrowed it a handful of times to charge their school issued Chromebooks, their iPhones, and their Ear (1)s so everything is charged up at once, ready to go when they need it. I do wish given the overall size though of this GaN Charger that the max output of both USB-C ports were 65W, as only the bottom port includes 65W. Though, charging multiple devices at once using the 65W usually for my MacBook, it’s pretty efficient overall. For the price, this is absolutely the best GaN Charger available and it’s one I have not only recommended to many in my family and friend circles, but one I may be buying a handful of people on my Christmas list this year.

drewlipps Thanks for reporting in with your thoughts! Love to read them

Which is better for nothing phone 2? Gan 65W or nothing ’s 45W?

Derren

mohanchandren Both will deliver efficient charging for Phone (2). Phone (2) will only draw a maximum 45W from both chargers so what you’re really looking at when comparing the two is practicality. The CMF GAN charger has 3 ports, 2 USBC ports and a single USBA port whereas the Nothing charger only has a single USBC port.

mohanchandren

Derren yes GAN charger has more ports which can be used to charge multiple devices. But can you explain about the technical difference between the normal nothing and GAN charger and their supported charging standards

Derren

mohanchandren Specifications for the CMF GAN charger are below.

Specifications for the Nothing 45W charger are below

Derren

Performance is going to be mostly the same so it really comes down to whether you would like the extra ports or not.

mohanchandren

Derren thanks . I was also asking, if the GAN technology is better than normal nothing phone 2 charger ?

Derren

mohanchandren As I mentioned above you likely won’t notice a huge difference between the two, it’s more about whether you want more ports or not. GaN chargers are usually just more energy efficient and can be made a lot smaller.

Hi Can i use 25 W Samsung power adaptor for Nothing 2 ?

Derren

jagadeeshape Do you have any further specs for the charger? 25W is below Phone 2s optimal charging speeds of up to 45W so you may experience slower charging.

Is this one coming from France at some point ? It’s been the CMF product i’m the most hyped about but it’s not on sale for France yet…

Hey Fam,

Saw the recent announcement about NOTHING getting into an agreement with Lulu Group to supply their products to the Middle East.Kudos to the team behind it ✨.It was a step that was very much needed and I believe its also one in the right direction since I personally have not had an issue with Lulu Group over replacement or product servicing.

Something that I would like to see is a UK Power Port for the POWER65,however that would require some more engineering towards it since the port itself takes more surface area.
