AXAGON ACU-PQ33: 33W GaN USB-C + USB-A Wall Charger, Successor to the ACU-PQ30

The AXAGON ACU-PQ33 is a 33W dual-port GaN wall charger with one USB-C and one USB-A port, replacing the popular ACU-PQ30. It keeps the same compact form factor and proven design, but upgrades to second-generation GaN technology, delivers more output power and supports a wider range of fast-charging protocols. With its USB-C and USB-A ports, it conveniently charges smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds, smartwatches and other small electronics.
 

Same compact size, more power: what’s new in the ACU-PQ33

The biggest upgrade over the previous model is GaN (gallium nitride) technology, which replaces conventional silicon semiconductors. Second-generation GaN offers higher power efficiency and lower energy loss in an equally compact housing.

With an efficiency of nearly 88%, the charger generates less heat and runs cooler, even under heavier loads.

Maximum USB-C output has increased from 30 W to 33 W. This means fast charging for compatible Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and Xiaomi smartphones, as well as many other USB-C devices.

Dual-port USB-C and USB-A charger for everyday use

The AXAGON ACU-PQ33 has two charging ports:

• USB-C port – up to 33 W for fast charging smartphones and tablets.
• USB-A port – up to 18 W for charging a second phone, wireless earbuds, a smartwatch or other accessories.

You can charge two devices at the same time, such as a phone and a smartwatch. With both ports in use, the charger automatically distributes power between them, up to a combined maximum of 15 W.

Measuring just 84 × 36 × 32 mm and weighing only 64 g, the charger slips easily into a backpack, laptop bag or carry-on. That makes it an ideal travel charger as well as an everyday charger for home, the office and on the go.

Broad fast-charging compatibility, including Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0

The ACU-PQ33 keeps support for all major fast-charging protocols, including USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.0, PPS (Programmable Power Supply), Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+, Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging, Honor FCP/SCP and Apple 2.4A.

New to this model is support for Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0, enabling fast charging of compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Tab S tablets at up to 33 W.

Thanks to USB PD and PPS, the charger also fast-charges compatible iPhone and Google Pixel models and other phones that support these standards. Actual charging speed depends on the connected device and the charging profiles it supports.

Proven design, upgraded technology

The AXAGON ACU-PQ33 builds on everything that made the ACU-PQ30 a popular everyday charger: a compact size, two USB ports and broad compatibility with mobile devices.

On top of that, it adds more efficient GaN technology, higher USB-C output and Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0 support. The result is a versatile, compact GaN wall charger that brings modern fast charging to today’s smartphones and tablets.
