Multifunction Chargers

The number on the box is the total the charger can produce, not the amount each port can produce at once, and every disappointment in this category comes from reading it the other way. A sixty-five-watt three-port unit will usually deliver sixty-five watts to one device on its own and then split that budget the moment a second is plugged in — often unevenly, and often dropping the first device out of the fast-charge negotiation it had already agreed. So the specification worth asking for is not the headline wattage but the distribution table: what each port delivers alone, and what every combination delivers together. Ask which protocol each port speaks as well, because a port that negotiates one fast-charge standard and not another is not slow, it is silently ordinary. Gallium nitride is a semiconductor choice that makes the same output smaller and cooler; it is not itself a power rating and a small charger is not fast because it is small.
