Anker 335 Charger 67W
The Anker 335 Charger (67W) is a reliable, good value model, even if it doesn’t have the highest power output in the world. You get two USB-C ports and an additional USB-A slot, foldable prongs and even a USB-C to USB-C cable – there’s not much more you’d want from what is a fairly cheap multi-port charger.

Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W
The Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W is a super-small charger, with 67W of power to go round its three ports. Its lack of foldable prongs and USB-C cable for the UK model is a bit of a shame, but this is still, overall, a nifty triple-port option.

Convenient triple-port configuration
Pleasingly diminutive

Anker 335 Charger 67W vs Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W: performance
As you may expect there isn’t really a lot of difference between these two chargers in terms of performance levels. They have the same maximum power output – 67W and each have three separate ports for charging up your devices simultaneously.
Even when making use of all three ports, both chargers were able to charge my Samsung Galaxy S24 FE’s 4,700mAh capacity battery to 100% from 0% in less than 80 minutes. That’s exactly the speeds I’d hope to get from the best iPhone chargers and best Android phone chargers.
Neither will be able to charge the most power hungry devices at their full potential, especially in tri-port mode – you’ll be better served by a high capacity alternative like the UGreen Nexode Pro 160W 4-Port charger if you’re after a top performer. But there may well be enough to go round your phone, a pair of the best wireless earbuds and best headphones, for instance.

But even if both perform at a good level, there are some key differences worth noting. Firstly, you get up to 25W from Port 1 and 20W from the remaining slots with the Belkin charger. Meanwhile, Anker takes a more unorthodox approach by allowing up to 42W to flow to Port 1 and just 12W to the remaining slots. Of course, if you want a bit more power for a modern handset like the Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra and you’re OK with sacrificing some juice in the secondary and tertiary ports, Anker’s strategy may be preferable, but if your devices have similar demands, Belkin may be better for you.
Another key differentiator here is the inclusion of a USB-A port on the Anker 335 Charger 67W, which isn’t quite as efficient as the exclusively USB-C configuration used for its Belkin rival. The USB-A port is only capable of 22.5W charging in single-port mode, although you can access the full 67W from either of the USB-C slots. Meanwhile, you can access 67W single-port charging from all of the Belkin model’s slots – but that lack of USB-A compatibility may be a blow if you’re running low on USB-C to USB-C cables.
This category is a close one, but if I had to pick a winner, I’d actually edge the Anker 335 Charger 67W. I think the extra juice Port 1 provides in tri-port mode is worth the power sacrifice you make in the remaining ports. In addition, the versatility of a USB-A port being included is nothing to sniff at. Again, the more even power flow from the Belkin BoostCharge may suit others better, but I’m leaning towards Anker on this one.

Anker 335 Charger 67W vs Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W: design
Perhaps the most striking difference between these Anker and Belkin chargers is their appearance. The Anker 335 is, in my view, still quite chunky, even if it’s not as huge as, say, an official Apple MacBook charger. It comes in Black and stretches out some distance, meaning it's not particularly convenient for use in tight spaces.
Meanwhile, the Belkin BoostCharge is the polar opposite. This white model is considerably smaller and far better suited for wall sockets that are close to a bed frame or desk, for instance. That’s accentuated by the way that its ports are positioned under the charger, rather than on its outward-facing side.

But before we write Anker off in this category, I have to give the charger its flowers. It has foldable prongs, even in the UK, which makes it comfortable to pocket and ultra-compact when you want to throw it in your bag. The same can’t be said of the Belkin BoostCharge, which skips on foldable prongs in the UK. Sure, it’s still super small, but that’s a feature I always like to see from modern chargers.
On top of that, I’d suggest the Anker 335 charger is a little more interesting to look at. It has a nice finish on the charger’s outer shell and a glossy look on the side containing its ports. The Belkin BoostCharge appears to be a little more plasticky, although it's still fairly clean looking and will seem more discrete in your wall socket.
And overall, I’d argue the Belkin BoostCharge does have a superior design. It’s more diminutive and I love the down-hanging USB-C ports for when I’m in a tight squeeze. Sure, the lack of foldable prongs on the UK model is a shame, but the Anker model’s chunkiness is a little uneasy on the eye, and means it sticks out a little much – not the most convenient if you’re on the go.

Anker 335 Charger 67W vs Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W: value
But when it comes to value I’m left with quite the conundrum. I think the Belkin BoostCharge has a more practical design and in particular, I’m impressed by its ultra-compact size. But the Anker charger does have a relatively unique approach to power distribution, which is especially useful if you want to charge a single power-hungry device – such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro – alongside two less demanding ones.
So, let’s turn our attention instead to the key ingredient – pricing. I’ll start off by acknowledging that yes, both of these models can often be found on sale via Amazon in the US and UK – that makes both of these options strong in the value category as far as I’m concerned. That’s because neither of these wall chargers are particularly expensive in the first place.

The Anker 335 charger comes in at $35.99 / £36.99 (about AU$55), while the Belkin BoostCharge is typically priced at $44.99 / £39.99 / AU$89.95. But the Anker model’s advantage is only furthered by the fact that it comes with a USB-C cable in the box. That’s something you’ll have to pay extra for if you go with the Belkin BoostCharge.
On top of that, the technology that each charger harnesses is pretty similar. The 335 model uses Anker’s proprietary PowerIQ 3.0 standard to monitor power for an optimal, efficient charge. It also takes advantage of ActiveShield to keep track of temperature levels. Meanwhile, the Belkin alternative goes with PPS, which adjusts power automatically to fit the needs of connected devices. The BoostCharge also has a six-point safety system, designed to prevent overheating and short circuiting.
Both of these models offer good bang for your buck, but if I had to tip one to win in the value category, it would be the Anker 335 Charger 67W. Adding a USB-C cable into the mix is the real difference maker – not to mention it typically carries a slightly lower price tag.

Anker 335 Charger 67W vs Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger with PPS 67W: verdict
And so, we have cometh to the conclusion of this legendary battle. In the end, it’s pretty tight for me. Yes, the Anker charger won two of the three categories – it’s awesome value for money and offers astute performance. But the Belkin’s more even power spread could suit you more – not to mention its more discreet build is a big plus for on-the-go use.
Despite that, there can only be one winner and I’m going with the Anker 335 Charger 67W. It comes with a USB-C cable, supplies a USB-A port for those who want it and uses foldable prongs in both its UK and US variant – that’s pretty impressive for a model that costs less than $40 / £40. Shoutout to Belkin, though, the BoostCharge 3-Port charger is a great alternative and its ability to slot into tighter spaces shouldn’t be overlooked.
