We found deals on Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra and a new, interview-packed book about Apple’s ascent.
Few things ruin a relaxing spring break abroad like forgetting a way to keep your devices charged. The Anker Nano Travel Adapter makes it easy to charge phones, cameras, e-readers, and more wherever you travel. It’s currently available for $19.99 ($6 off) at Amazon and directly from Anker (using code WS7DV2S3TD3T).
The wall adapter includes four plug types (A, C, G, and I), compatible with over 200 countries including Europe, the UK, Australia, Asia, and South America. Weighing just 3.77 ounces and under an inch thick (with folded prongs), it’s compact for suitcases and go bags. It features built-in temperature control for device safety.
Additionally, the adapter can power up to five devices simultaneously. It includes an AC outlet and two USB-A and two USB-C ports with a shared power output of up to 15W. However, using one USB-C port delivers up to 20W, charging an iPhone 17 from zero to 50% in under 30 minutes. Note: It doesn’t convert voltage, so avoid using it with electric razors and hair dryers.
