BGR Picks 5 Anker Accessories Over Apple, Samsung Options, Citing Lower Prices and Higher Specs

Summary
Five Anker products made BGR’s list of better-than-official phone accessories, spanning magnetic power banks, a 3-in-1 charger, a 140W wall charger, a Bluetooth speaker and a 300W power bank.
Price and feature gaps drove the picks: Anker’s 10,000mAh MagGo costs $80 versus Apple’s $100 battery pack, while the Prime 3-in-1 charger delivers 25W iPhone charging in a category Apple does not currently offer.
Charging hardware dominated the recommendations, including a $89.99 four-port 140W charger and a $229.99 26,250mAh power bank with up to 140W fast charging and app-based power monitoring.
BGR also highlighted Anker’s broader value pitch against first-party gear, arguing Apple and Samsung accessories often carry premium pricing while third-party rivals add features such as foldable designs, cooling systems and higher output.
