Meet CMF Power 65W GaN charger - The one to power all?

While several adapters are available in the market, CMF's Power 65W GaN charger aims to be unique with its "charge more, carry less" capacity.

What does the Power 65W GaN adapter offer?

Meet CMF Power 65W GaN charger - The one to power all?

These days, some people don't just use one device. Some use several phones in addition to other gadgets. This could become a hassle especially when charging given the two-slot limit for most wall sockets.

Nothing's CMF aims to address this with its "charge more, carry less" Power 65W GaN charger priced at PHP 2,290.

In terms of design, the adapter has a matte finish and is 56.5 x 55 x 30 mm big. It only has one color variant, Dark Grey.

The adapter features three ports—one USB Type-A, and two USB Type-C.

The brick

CMF said its Power 65W GaN charger is powered by the latest GaN tech for "the fastest, safest, and most energy-efficient charging experience." 

65W is not the fastest for GaN chargers, but it is one of the fastest at this size. Among the small bricks with multiple charging ports, only the Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger (3 Ports) is faster.

When It comes to charging the Nothing Phone (2), it can reach 50 percent within 25 minutes, CMF said.

It works all major fast charging protocols, including PD3.0, QC4.0+/3.0/2.0, SCP, FCP, PPS, AFC, Samsung 9V2A, DCP, and Apple 2.4A. It is also compatible with MFI-certified cables.

Below is the power distribution depending on the number of ports being used:

When I used the CMF Power 65W GaN charger to charge my iPhone 14, it took around 2 hours to fully charge from 20 percent battery.

I tried charging my smartphone again but this time together with the CMF Buds Pro. The wireless earphones took two hours to fully charge, while the other device went from around 65 percent to 98 percent in one hour and 30 minutes.

While using the adapter, it does get hot but the temperature is manageable and not worrisome. In terms of weight, I feel like it is on the heavier side compared to other adapters.

If your device supports faster up to 65W charging, expect the charging speed to be just as fast as its in-box chargers.

At 65W, it also has enough power to charge some laptops like the HUAWEI MateBook D 16 2024 13th Gen i9 laptop.

Having two Type-C ports was also good, but this may not be a good adapter for those whose chargers are still Type-A.

Note: This unit was seeded to team GIZGUIDE by Digital Walker Philippines, but rest assured of our fair take always.

Quick thoughts

Overall, I think that the CMF Power 65W GaN charger is a good adapter to invest in. It may look pricey at first, but you can really tell it has quality and is durable compared to cheaper alternatives by the way it performs.

In case you missed it, CMF by Nothing products are available at Digital Walker PH stores.
