5 Best Nothing Phone (2a) Chargers to Buy (2024)

One of the major drawbacks of buying a smartphone these days is that you don’t get a charger in the box. The latest Android device Nothing Phone (2a) is no exception. Now, you may not consider that a problem if your previous device came with a fast charger. However, the latest device requires faster charging speeds and support for PPS protocol, and most people upgrading might not have a charger that can keep up. Hence, if you want to fast charge your shiny new Phone (2a), here are all the chargers you can buy for it.

Note:For optimal charging, Nothing recommends that you use a charger that supports the PPS (Programmable Power Supply) protocol.

Nothing Power (45W)

Nothing beats the original. For those unaware, both theNothing Phone (2)and(2a)have the same maximum charging speed, i.e., 45W, so the Phone (2)’s original charger should work just as well on the Phone (2a). The Nothing Power (45W) supports PD3.0, Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0+, 3.0, and 2.0. It also works with all PPS (Programmable Power Supply) enabled devices like Laptops.

The output voltages supported are 5V-3A, 12V-3A, 15V-3A, and 20V-2.25A. We wish the charger had anextra Type-C portto charge more devices. However, atRs 1,499, it’s one of the best bang for your chargers you can get for your Nothing Phone (2a). Power (45W) is only sold via Flipkart, so beware of fakes on Amazon.ProsCons45W fast chargingHas only one Type-C portSupports PD3.0 and Qualcomm Quick ChargeNot as pocketable as some of the GaN chargers

CMF by Nothing Charger

If you’re in search of a multi-port charger that can charge your Phone (2a) as well as other devices, look no further. This 65W GaN offering from the Nothing-owned CMF brand is easily one of the best chargers you can buy for charging an array of devices you may have. It’s just as big as Nothing Power but gives you atotal of three ports— 1 x USB-A and 2 x USB-C.

Thanks to the GaN tech, it should be efficient and shouldn’t get as hot as traditional chargers. It also supports PPS and Qualcomm Quick Charge interfaces. As for the pricing, you can sometimes score it for as low as Rs 1,999, but it’scurrently available for Rs 3,000which is a bit expensive.ProsCons65W fast chargingA bit expensiveHas many ports to charge multiple devicesSupports PD3.0 and Qualcomm Quick ChargeExtremely compact for a 65W charger thanks to GaN technology.

One thing that we like about this adapter is its portability factor, as its enclosure consumes a 30% smaller footprint than other chargers. It also hasfoldable plug pinsthat make it the perfect option when travelling.

Honeywell Zest GaN Charger

Yet another GaN charger that ticks a lot of boxes. Honeywell is a reputed manufacturer of electrical equipment like switches and sockets. The Zest is a 45W GaN charger withtwo USB Type-C ports, both with PD 3.0 support. It has a variety of power outputs and supports the maximum power input supported by the Nothing Phone (2a), meaning the charger will be able todeliver 45Wto the device.
