Samsung official charger is good and cheap
Anker's always quality
I'm using the baseus 65 watt multi charger. Can charge my fold 4, watch and surface with it. And it has two 110v outlets to plug other things in.

Intro: I travel with a lot of electronic devices - Google Nexus 7 2013, Samsung Galaxy Note III, Barnes and Noble Nook Color, a Limeade 13,000mah battery pack, Jawbone Jambox, and a LuguLake QI Charger for the Nexus 7. This one charger lets me charge all five devices, giving the Nexus 7 and Note III a full 2.1amps.
Description: This thing is SMALL. The photos don't really do it justice, it's a bit narrower than a tri-fold wallet, about the same thickness and length (see Review Images for comparison with the Note III). It has five charging ports, with two labeled iPad (2.1a), one labeled Samsung Tab (1.3a), one iPhone (1a) and one Android (1a).
Included:
Anker Charger
White 3' power cord
Pros:
Small - Like I said, it's nice and small. Too easy to toss in a bag and go.
Cord - the cord is a good length, and since it uses a fairly standard plug type you could easily replace it with a different length.
Definitely charges - it has no problem charging all five of my devices.
Appearance - it's sharp looking. The glossy finish doesn't pick up fingerprints too badly, and there isn't a bunch of obnoxious branding all over it - just a small Anker logo on one side, and the serial number on the other.
Cons:
The port labeling - I would prefer it just label the ports with the amperage, i.e. "2.1a" instead of "iPad".
Color - I wish it were available in black.
Summary: Definitely a good purchase. I waffled quite a bit between this one, and the Anker 36W/7.2A USB Quad-Port Wall Charger, but in the end decided I wanted the flexibility of plugging the cord into the wall and having some room to move the charger around. I'll probably use this one for travel, and get the 36w for home use. Customer images are posted as well. 5 stars out of 5.

Good review! I will also probably review 4-port one soon. But like you said, this one gives you a flexibility of chord extension, while 4-port is more of an outlet expansion.
Btw, my review of 5-port charger was posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436439
I recently recieved my Auckly W126 10000 mAh powerbank and wrote this short review from the perspective of a Google Pixel 2 XL owner.
Disclaimer: I purchased this item for the full price at Amazon. I am not related to the manufacturer and did not receive any incentive for the review.
Specs
capacity: 10000mAh
ports: 4 (USB-C in/out, Micro-USB in, USB-A QuickCharge out, USB-A out)
Micro-USB in: DC 5V-2A max
USB-C in: DC 5V-2.4A 9V-2A 12V-1.5A 18W Max (supports both USB-C to USB-C recharging powerbank and charging device)
USB-C out: DC 5V-2.4A 9V-2A 12V-1.5A 18W max
USB-A QuickCharge: DC 5V2.4A / 9V2A / 12V1.5A (supports QC 3.0)
USB-A: DC 5V-2.1A Max (no quickcharge)
Attention: all ports can be used at the same time but if so without PD or QC
Dimensions: 132 * 65 * 11mm
weight: 208g
Box contents
The box contains the powerbank, a low-quality Micro-USB-to-USB-A 1in cable (which you can safely throw away) and a short manual.
Sadly, there is no sleeve/pouch/etc.
Design & built
This powerbank targets the compact department as it is both small and leightweight. I owned an Anker PowerCore+ 10000mAh powerbank before and I like this one better: It is a little bit larger but alot thinner. Even it is made out of plastic, it still looks classy with rounded edges, a clean top and a rubber-coated bottom.
It features 4 ports, 4 LEDs to indicate the battery state and a button to turn on the LEDs.
Usage
The powerbank provides 2,5 charges for the Pixel 2 XL with near-than-zero power losses. Power delivery works perfectly and the Pixel 2 XL starts rapid charging when connected.
Time until full was equal to the stock charger. It can also rapidly recharge when connected to the stock charger via USB-C.
The first LED turns green when PD/QC is active which is a handy indicator.
Accessories
Since the powerbank does not include a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, you need a 3rd party cable. The cable that is included with the stock launcher works fine. Nevertheless I purchased an Anker PowerCord II USB-C-to-USB-C cable (3in) which provides Power Delivery, is high quality and fully spec compliant.
I have not purchased a sleeve yet but am planning to do so. Since the powerbank has nearly the dimensions of a common smartphone, it should not be hard to find one.
Verdict
I highly recommend this powerbank. It provides enough power for 2,5 charges, charges rapidly and has a good built quality. For me, it hits the sweet spot between capacity and portability.
Where is it sold? Sounds like they are ripping off the Aukey Amazon name.

I bought it at Amazon Germany:
https://www.amazon.de/10000mAh-Auck...d=1516980877&sr=8-1&keywords=auckly+powerbank
I got one too. It's very nice. Love it. Keeps the charge and my wife uses it all the time. I take it out of her purse and charge it once per week. It's remarkable how much capacity this can hold.

How fast are you getting a charge in milliamps on ampere with screen on
My phone max charger is 1050mah
Hi I'm using the Samsung wireless fast charge dock ep-ng930 which I think I got with my Note 8 or 9 and its woefully slow. Are there any quicker ones? I'm using it with an ANKER 18w QC2 USB charger. Is the charger not quick enough and would I be better using one of the Samsung fast charger plugs?
thanks
I ended up buying a Belkin QC4/PD compliant 27w charger (not wireless) namely because Belkin provide a £1500 connected equipment warranty and I didn't trust some of the cheap chinese crap on Amazon.
50% charge in about 30 mins!
i'm back with a few more chargers to test, this time from baseus which i have to admit i've never tried before. they sent me the 45w charger/10000mah power bank as well as their 120w 3 port wall charger. the first thing that jumped out at me is the size of these things. even though they employ GaN they are larger than I'm used to. it is somewhat understandable on the 45w charger as it also doubles as a power bank, but i was really surprised at how big the 120w charger was. that said, performance on both of them were great and they feel really dense, so they don't appear to be wasting any space.
the 45w charger was the one i was intrigued the most by because of its versatility as a wall charger and a portable power bank. you can plug it in to use as a charger or charge the 10000mah battery, and both usb c ports can be used to charge the battery as well. baseus claims 45w max output on ac power or 30w max on portable power through either of the type c ports individually, or when used together 30w+15w or 15w+30w on ac power and 18w+18w on portable power. i tested it using my pixel 5 and a completely dead samsung chromebook plus and noticed consistently that the top port had a slightly lower voltage than the bottom, despite both being rated for the same. neither port delivered a full 45w on my testing. with the chromebook and the charger plugged in the top port maxed out at 2.35a/14.6v, with the bottom port delivering 2.35a/15v. plugging in a second device dropped the charging speed to 1.85a/8.7v and 1.9a8.8v for top/bottom. in powerbank mode the top/bottom gave 2.2a/11.7v and 2.2a/11.9v individually, 1.9a/8.8v and 1.9a/9v with a second device plugged in.
the 120w charger offers 3 ports, 2 usb c and 1 usb a. theoretical power output gets a bit complicated; the usb c ports can put out up to 100w individually, or 60w+60w when used together. either usb c port used with the a port will put out a max of 87w with the a port delivering 30w, and if you use all 3 together the top c port will put out 60w, with the bottom c and the a port putting out 30w each. in my testing i was able to maintain charging speeds of 1.85a/19.2v on the top port regardless of what the other ports were doing. on the bottom port the speed was similar, but dropped to 2.2a/12v once i had all 3 ports in use.
as i mentioned earlier these chargers are quite large and heavy. the 120w is noticeably heavier and larger than a 90w 3 port charger i recently tried out. obviously it delivers 33% more power and there is a lot to be said for that, but i think for most users this would be more of a wall solution versus a travel charger. the 45w charger is much larger than a few other 60w chargers i have, but again this baseus charger offers a fairly unique advantage of both plugging in and using portable power. while these chargers dont fall into the ultra-packable categories, they both offer value in the extras they can deliver. right now the 120w charger is available on amazon for $44.99 after clipping the on-page coupon, and the 45w for $32.99 after clipped coupon, and if you buy both it gives you an extra $5 off of each. as always these are not affiliate links; im not affiliated with any of these companies and dont receive any compensation for these reviews.

I'm using my Xiaomi 55W wireless charger with the 120W supply that came with my Mi 10 Ultra. Works a treat.
So what actually is the FASTEST charger that can be safely used with the P5 apart from the supplied Google charger that comes with the P5 and the Google Pixel Stand ?
If a non UK forum member replies, remember I'm in the UK, so ideally I'd like one that I can source in the UK, but I'd still be interested in what others are using.

As far as I'm aware, using a charger with more power than the supplied charger makes no difference. The device decides how it will draw power.
These high wattage chargers are mainly for laptops.
I bought this 45W charger few days ago, but with one usb-c and one usb-a port. First I bought variant with 2 usb-c ports, but it didn't work well, it only charged from the wall, but when tried to charge from battery, phone started to charge power bank instead of the power bank charging phone, so I returned it and got the variant with one usb-c port and with one usb-a port, because they didn't have option with two usb-c ports anymore. I actually love this charger, because you can use it for both, as wall charger and as power bank and that's awesome for traveling and it also have PD. But I don't think it's really 10000mAh power bank. I tried to charge my phone from power bank, the power bank was fully charged, and my Pixel 5 was 50% charged. I left it overnight and it charged my phone to 100%, but power bank has only 25% battery left (1 light on out of 4). I don't think 10000mAh power bank should last only half of a charge. I was thinking about ordering other charger and power bank, but I couldn't find any charger and power bank in one device other than that specific device from Baseus.
HI Does anyone know of compatible chargers from reputable Companies. (UK plug style too)
It really does seem the that we have to use a USB 2 port that supports the extra pin, Even QC4.0+ chargers don't seem to get to MI Turbro. ( I test a linkOn charger) The only one that comes close is a charger from WJOY I randomly got from amazon but its not full 33w speed.
Oh Thanks for the thread on compatible cables...
Cheers
Jay
Short field report:
Anker PowerPort1 + QC3: 18 watts
Anker Nano II 45: 12 watts
So far I could only reach the 33 watts with the original charger...
the only other chager that comes close is the WJOY 65w chager, the usb a ports support 22.5 w which actually makes the poco think its using turbo charge, (EDIT) sorry to say the wjoy is no longer for sale
