Meizu Pandaer PTC16 Surfaces As An Ultra-Slim 80W GaN Charger

The Pandaer sub-brand by Meizu has reimagined power delivery with the launch of the PTC16 model. This charger ditches the bulky “brick” aesthetic for an ultra-slim design, offering high power in a remarkably compact form factor.

Positioning

The Pandaer PTC16 is a next-generation wall charger that leverages Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors to achieve a thickness of just 14mm. Dubbed a “biscuit charger” for its slim profile, the gadget easily fits into pockets or tight bag compartments while providing efficient power without overheating.

The housing features Meizu’s signature minimalist aesthetic, and the foldable plug makes it highly convenient for business trips or daily commutes.

Technical Specifications

Despite its modest thickness, the Pandaer PTC16 comes equipped with three USB-C ports, allowing users to ditch multiple individual power bricks for their tech gear.

• Peak power per port: 80W (in single-port mode).
• Dynamic power distribution when all three outputs are used simultaneously.
• Support for modern protocols: Power Delivery (PD) and PPS for ultra-fast charging of flagship smartphones, tablets, and ultrabooks (including MacBook Air).

Pricing

Currently, on the Chinese domestic market, the device is priced between 149 and 199 yuan. Depending on the configuration and active discounts, this translates to approximately $21 or $28.

The Pandaer PTC16 demonstrates just how compact modern chargers can become without significant compromises in power. Three USB-C ports, support for current standards, and a foldable plug make this model a compelling choice for frequent travelers looking to consolidate their charging setup.
