SlimQ does not look like it’s all about just the size and weight however. Its construction has used Gallium Nitride (GaN) material which is the reason for its small size. GaN is capable of conducting far higher voltages than the traditionally used Silicone. Hence, it does not need to be big in size. It also charges faster than a standard charger. GaN minimizes energy loss and increases efficiency. It also protects device battery from overcharging and overheating.

SlimQ can charge any device that supports a USB Type C cable. There is optional converter cable to use other USB cables. SlimQ also comes with a country-specific converter. There is a second USB Type A port as well. Thus, it can charge up to two devices at same time at a fast speed. You can charge a laptop and smartphone at same time. The charging speed won’t slow down due to the GaN technology and the big 65W power delivery. The USB C alone will be allocated all of the 65 Watts. When both the ports are in use, the Type C gets 45 Watts and the Type A port gets 18 Watts of power.
