Chargeasap Omega 200W GaN Charger[tie_index]Chargeasap Omega 200W GaN Charger[/tie_index]
Description | Technical Specifications |
Size | 88 x 55 x 42mm (203.3cm3) |
Weight | 220 grams |
Ports | 2 x USB-C and 2 x USB-A |
Total Max. Wattage | 200W |
The Chargeasap Omega 200W GaN charger is the best 200W GaN charger in terms of the lightest weight. It was promoted as the World’s Smallest 200W adapter, and it has received a total of US$3.39million from 33,910 backers from Indiegogo and Kickstarter. After reviewing with the other brands, we find that it might not be the smallest in size, but it is the lightest by at least 29% compared to the next heaviest 200W charger. The weight is about the same as some of the larger smartphones in the market now.
When using only the two USB-C ports, the maximum power output for each port is 100W concurrent. This is the only configuration when the charger delivers the full 200W output in total.
USB-C 1 | USB-C 2 |
100W | 100W |
If you add another USB-A, then the second USB-C port drops to 65W, while the USB-A 1 delivers up to 22.5W. The total power output drops to 187.5W.
USB-C 1 | USB-C 2 | USB-A 1 |
100W | 65W | 22.5W |
Lastly, when using all four USB-C ports concurrently, only the first USB-C port is 100W, while the second USB-C port drops to 65W. The remaining USB-A ports in this mode have 12W output each. The total power output drops to 189W.
USB-C 1 | USB-C 2 | USB-A 1 | USB-A 2 |

Volta Giga 200W GaN Charger[tie_index]Volta Giga 200W GaN Charger [/tie_index]
Description | Technical Specifications |
Size | 84 × 68.2 x 36mm (206.2cm3) |
Weight | 310 grams |
Ports | 3 x USB-C and 1 x USB-A |
Total Max. Wattage | 200W |
The Volta Giga 200W GaN Charger is another strong contender based on the specifications with sizes that are quite close to the Chargeasap Omega. The biggest disadvantage is the weight of 310 grams which is almost 29% heavier than the Omega.
Even though the Volta Giga 200W GaN’s design has 3 USB-C ports, the third USB-C power output has a significantly lower power output when compared to the first two USB-C ports. In fact, it is just slightly better than the USB-A for the Chargeasap. The only advantage is perhaps that you can use a new USB-C to USB-C cable which will be replacing the old USB-A cables.
Like the Chargeasap Omega, when using only the two USB-C ports, each port can deliver up to 100W concurrently. This is the only configuration when the charger delivers the full 200W output.
USB-C 1 | USB-C 2 |
100W | 100W |
If you add another USB-A, then the second USB-C port drops to 65W, while the USB-A 1 delivers up to 22.5W. The total power output is now 195W.
USB-C 1 | USB-C 2 | USB-C 3 |
100W | 65W | 30W |
Lastly, when using all four USB-C ports concurrently, only the first USB-C port is 100W, while the second USB-C port drops to 65W. The remaining USB-A ports in this mode have 12W output each, and the total power output from the charger is now 190W.

Weight | 320 grams |
Ports | 3 x USB-C and 1 x USB-A |
Total Max. Wattage | 200W |
The Thundergo 200W GaN Charger is the best 200W GaN charger in terms of size. It is the smallest in our review at only 183cm3 in size, which is about 9% smaller than the Chargeasap Omega 200W GaN Charger. With the new Hyperjuice 245W, the Thundergo 200W is now the second heaviest of the lot at 320 grams. The design of the port configuration is similar to the Volta Giga with 3 x USB-C and 1 x USB-A. The power output is quite similar for the above-mentioned configurations, but there are still subtle differences that are negligible.
Like the other 200W charges, each USB-C port can deliver up to 100W concurrently when only the first two ports are in use. This is the only configuration when the charger delivers the full 200W output.
USB-C 1 | USB-C 2 |
100W | 100W |
If you add another USB-A, then the second USB-C port drops to 65W, while the USB-A 1 delivers up to 22.5W. The total power output is now 195W.

The HyperJuice 245W GaN Charger is the latest entry in our review and is the best 200W GaN charger that exceeds the 200W maximum and comes with most USB-C ports. However, it is also the heaviest of the lot at 582 grams. The design of the port configuration is completely different from the rest in this list as it is the only one with all 4 x USB-C and no USB-A port.
The power output is also the best as it is the only charger that can deliver 2 x 100W and still have one more port at 45W. However, it has the weakest configuration for 4 ports as it has 1 x 100W while the remaining 3 are limited to 45W each. The other three chargers have up to
Like the other 200W charges, each USB-C port can deliver up to 100W concurrently when only the first two ports are in use. This is the only configuration when the charger delivers the full 200W output.

Too bad none of these are actually in production and available. All are being produced via crowd funding and all are months/years behind schedule.
When one device is hooked up, the charge wattage is simple, 100%. With some of the other chargers when two devices are hooked it’s simple again, 100%. However after three and four devices are hooked up things get complicated and that’s where you need the spec. sheet handy.
The hyperjuice 245w charger is a beast with any one of it’s 4 usb-c port capable of delivering 100w of power as well as any 2 being able to deliver 100w each simultaneously. With that amount of power makes this charger ideal for powering up multiple power hungry devices simultaneously. Think of all the time you’ll save while being more productive. The only blemish is that this charger lacks a usc-a port but that can be corrected if you have a usb-c to usc-a cable, so all is not lost.
One of the most important factors in GaN chargers is how efficient they are. How much reject heat is produced? Do you have proper specs on any of these?
