Huawei debuts new three-port charger with 100W fast charging support

The charging adapter lineup of Huawei has seen a new addition, the "all-in-one charger" with up to 100W of fast charging. The company already has a couple of variants of the same brick. One of them has the same output rating but has two ports. But you can't use two of them at once.

On the latest 100W fast charging brick, there are three ports, but you can only use two of them at once. Huawei is utilizing a strange port layout on this brick. There's one that the company calls "fusion port," which has a USB Type-A and a USB Type-C merged. The idea is that two of them function as a single port, but users can choose whether to use the Type-C or the Type-A.

As for the other port, it's a regular USB Type-C port, and with it in place, the new "all-in-one charger" allows users to charge two devices at once. The fusion port and the separated USB Type-C port can deliver up to 100W of fast charging when used on their own.

However, when you have devices connected to both ports, either the fusion port or the separated Type-C port will max out at 88W, while the other will deliver 18W. Depending on the device connected, the ports can also switch between 66W and 40W output. Huawei says that this dynamic allocation is possible due to the company's "DPM intelligent charging" tech.

Besides that, this 100W fast charger has support for multiple charging protocols, including QC, PPS, and PD. Other highlights include a portable form factor with foldable prongs, GaN tech for efficient charging, and a 12-layer safety protocol. The charger was set to launch in China on August 6 at CNY 349 (around $49), but the listing was taken down, suggesting a delayed launch.

There's no word on the international release yet, but Huawei sells the 88W variant outside China. If you're looking for something similar to the 100W charger that's more easily accessible, check out the Anker 736 100W (curr. $49.99 on Amazon).
