4.\u00a0Samsung USB-C Fast Portable Charger<\/h3>\n

There are tons of portable chargers and power banks on the market, but few are ready for USB-C. This example from Samsung is a rare exception, offering a handy USB-C port for fast charging (as well as a full-size port for other devices). With 10,200mAh of power on tap, you’ll be able to fully recharge your phone three or four times — nice one.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Echo IronWire Ultra-Strong USB-C Cable<\/h3>\n

The Echo IronWire is an up-armoured USB-C cable, made from stronger and more durable materials to give it a much longer working life. If you’re sick of cheap plastic cables that break and fray every few months, this is the ideal replacement.<\/p>\n

\n

2.\u00a0Kidigi USB-C Desktop Charging Dock<\/h3>\n

There are surprisingly few good charging docks for USB-C smartphones, but Kidigi make one of the best. It has a simple design, with a built-in USB-C connector that can be adjusted to suit any device — even phones with cases on. Combine that with a low price, and you’ve got a winning USB-C dock.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Nomad Road Trip Car Charger & Power Bank<\/h3>\n

Our final accessory is something of a renaissance man — it’s well suited for multiple purposes. It is a car charger with two built-in USB-C ports, making it perfect for smartphones, tablets and laptops that charge over USB-C. It also has its own internal power reserves, 3000mAh to be exact. That means you can recharge on the go, no car (or mains adapter) needed. Awesome.<\/p>\n
