Ambrane 33W GaN Charger Review: The Pocket-Sized Powerhouse? By The Tech Guru Chargers used to be boring, bulky bricks that blocked every other switch on the extension board. But in 2025, charger technology has changed completely, thanks to a magic word: GaN (Gallium Nitride). The Ambrane 33W GaN (Charge 33) is the result of this tech. It is absurdly small—roughly the size of an ice cube or a coin case—yet it pumps out enough power to fast-charge your phone, tablet, and even a MacBook Air. If the Mi SonicCharge is the "Value King," the Ambrane GaN is the "Tech King." But is it worth buying a charger that’s so small you might lose it? I replaced my bulky laptop brick with this tiny pebble to find out. Design & Size: It Disappears in Your Pocket This is the main reason you buy this charger.

Mi 33W SonicCharge 2.0 Review: The Best Value Charger in India? By The Tech Guru If you walk into a store to buy a fast charger today, you usually get just the brick. Then you realize you need a cable, so you spend another ₹300. Before you know it, you’ve spent nearly ₹1,500. The Mi 33W SonicCharge 2.0 bucks this annoying trend. For under ₹1,000, it gives you a powerful 33W brick AND a high-quality 6A fast-charging cable in the box. It sounds like the perfect deal. But is it just for Xiaomi phones? Or can it charge your Samsung or Nothing Phone too? I tested it to see if this is the ultimate "Value King" of chargers. The "Free Cable" Advantage Let’s start with the best part. The Cable: Most chargers under ₹1,000 come naked. Mi includes a 1-meter USB-A to Type-C cable . Quality: This isn't a cheap freebie. It is a thick, rugged 6A-rated cable (orange accents). This cable alone would cost you roughly ₹350-₹400 if bought separately. It supports high-current t...
