Nowadays, smartphone brands, like Apple, Samsung, etc., are removing chargers from the box, creating a problem among consumers. As either they need to buy the brand’s official charger or a third-party charger separately to charge their phone. Now, choosing the right third-party charger for their smartphone which can also fast charge, is another dilemma. Therefore, to help you out we have compared 20W PD chargers from well-known brands under INR 2000.
