I am looking for a product like the Anker PowerPort 4, but supports adaptive fast charging I can...

I did a search for "6 port usb charger qc 3.0" on Amazon and this is one of the top hits: iClever BoostCube+ 60W 6 Port USB Wall Charger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FHCMH24/

(There are several other options - this just caught my attention because of the price and total wattage).

 

I couldn't find it, but I've got a 6 port "MobilLink" brand with QC 2.0. It has no problems charging an iPad, Galaxy Tab, Pebble watch, iPhone, and HTC 10 on the QC port) all at the same time.

 

As far as I can tell, Qualcomm's "Quick Charge" and Samsung's "Adaptive Fast Charge" are basically the same and cross compatible. We have Quick Charge chargers in both cars and they work great for my HTC 10 and my wife's S7.

 

.... Oh yeah, you're in Canada ?, aren't you? Or am I thinking of somebody else? The Canadian choices look a bit slimmer, but prices still aren't too bad. This is probably the best deal I'm seeing that's comparable in specs: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01KH9WHJK/

 

I hope that helps!

Ben Reese?, if you have a quick charger, and it works on your wife's S7 it is good enough for my S7. I have found d articles that state they are essentially the same thing, but I have nothing from any of the official manufacturers of either of the technologies.

 

I have found sometimes it is easier and cheaper to order from Amazon's US store and pay for shipping; other times spending the time to compare costs between the two stores are a waste of time. One of these days I am going to get around to to making a Santa's little helper for Amazon stores.

The charger on the .com site was $27 USD which, according to Google, is ~$37 CDN. That would make them about the same place price.

It stinks there's such a difference in selection between the two sites.

 

I'll have to ask her how quickly the QC 3.0 charger in our car charges her phone. My battery seems to go up about 1% per minute.

Tod Sage? yes, there are a few that have Type-C ports.

 

QC 3.0 is different from USB 3.0. Quick Charge (QC) is a Qualcomm technology/spec that allows charging voltages between 3.6 and 12v (some up to 20v, if I understand correctly). Most of the chargers I've seen will deliver 12~18 watts regardless of the voltage - so, at 5v you might get 3A but at 12v only 1.5A.

 

Edit: Android Authority did a comparison of the different charging techs. I haven't read through it yet, but here's the link: http://www.androidauthority.com/fast-charging-standards-compared-669624/

Tod Sage this one stands out:

ALZN USB Type-C, 50W 6-Port USB Charger QC3.0 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VXVKVTT/

 

It's got decent reviews and the price isn't too bad.

 

This also looks pretty good: uxcell US Plug 60W 8A Multi USB Charger Desktop Charging Station with Quick Charge 3.0 Technology/Type-C for Smartphones Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1RFMSZ/

 

And the were from that same search - I just looked for the ones with "Type C" in the description. For 6 ports, a 60W charger can simultaneously give each port 10W (2A). A 50W can give 1.67A to each device. So, 50W should be adequate and 60W more than enough. Unless you have a lot of phones or tablets that all have to charge at the same time, it's unlikely you'll need that much power. For example, a smart watch probably won't use much more than 0.7A and an older smartphone might not even use 1.5A... Now I'm just rambling so I'll leave it at that.
