Design
The color listed on the sales page is "White Face", with a face-like design on a white body. Dimensions are about W58.8 × D28.0 × H58.8mm and weight is about 100g. The plug swings 90 degrees and retracts into the body when not in use. It is described as having an anti-tracking (insulating) sleeve.
USB-C up to 20W vs. USB-A up to 12W
The USB-C port complies with PD 3.0 and outputs up to 20W at 5V/3A or 9V/2.22A. The USB-A port outputs up to 12W at 5V/2.4A and supports automatic charging detection. The 32W total is the combined rated output of both ports; it does not mean USB-C alone delivers 32W. As a PD charger, its output is up to 20W, so use the USB-C port to charge PD-compatible smartphones such as an iPhone.
Output when charging 2 devices
According to the sales page specs, the rated output power is 32W in total (USB Type-C 20W + USB A 12W). It is designed to charge 2 devices at once with devices connected to both USB-C and USB-A. Actual charging speed varies depending on how much power the connected device accepts and the cable used.
20W class vs. 65W class: different uses
If you mainly charge phones and tablets, this 20W-class 2-port charger with USB-C 20W and USB-A 12W is an option. If you want one charger that also handles a laptop such as a MacBook, a 65W-class charger with higher output is better suited. As 65W-class options, R13 Picks also features the UGREEN 65W GaN charger and the Anker PowerPort III 3-Port 65W Pod. The point is not which is better, but choosing according to the devices you want to charge.
Cable sold separately
The sales page notes that you need to prepare a cable compatible with this product and each device's connector. Prepare a cable that matches your devices, such as USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to Lightning, or USB-A to USB-C. If you want to choose a cable as well, the article on Case by Case's fast charging cable, which lets you choose the connector type and length, may help.
Points to check before buying
The sales page lists Japan as the usable region and an operating temperature range of 0℃–40℃. Some models of iPhone, iPad, Galaxy, Xperia, AQUOS, Google Pixel, OPPO, and others are listed as compatible, but the scope is devices (and combinations) that can charge at up to PD 3.0 20W on USB-C and up to 12W on USB-A. Its output is not intended as a main charger for laptops that need high power, so check your use before choosing. Check the sales page for the latest pricing, stock, and compatibility.
