Anker GaNPrime 240W (3C1A) (Amazon link) (AliExpress link)
Key product benefits:

  • Incredible 240W of total supplied power can easily charge powerful laptops, smartphones, and other USB devices simultaneously at full speed!

  • Independent UsbC1 port (140W) without power sharing.
  • UsbC1 port supports modern AVS protocol

  • Power IQ 4.0 technology for seamless redistributing excessive power budget among ports without power interruption between connected devices during plug-in/out.

  • Relatively compact and heavy (which means a more powerful heatsink inside) which is beneficial for desk chargers.
  • Very good idle power consumption (around 0.15W)
  • Power factor correction.
  • Premium materials and excellent design
  • impressive thick AC cord and reliable connection with charger.
  • Energy conversion efficiency around 90% (even at 25% of load)
Product drawbacks:

  • The top UsbC1 port might be picky to some EPR cables. I have one (out of 6) cable which is an e-maker chip PD3.1 EPR which was not recognized by this port.

​
Key product benefits:
  • Built-in overvoltage, overheating, and short circuit protection for the safety of connected devices
  • 12V support! (not many adapters on the market support this non-standard PD protocol). It's very useful in case you want to replace the conventional 12V DC adapter with a 5.5x2.5/2.1 jack using the usb-dc cable.
  • It has perfect idle power consumption, Power factor correction, and power transformation effectiveness.
Product drawbacks:
  • It supports only PD protocol and QC4, no PPS and other fast charging protocols. However, Samsung phones can benefit from fast charging through PD protocol even without PPS.
  • Only one UsbC charging port.
Other product notes: 
  • You can watch a YouTube video review and test of this power adapter here.
