I’m sort of convinced that if Steve Jobs were alive, his next crusade would be against those massive, bulky charging adapters that come with most phones and laptops. Why is it that we’ve shrunk a computer to something that’s thin enough to fit right into our pocket, but our charging blocks (yeah, they’re literally called blocks) are so big, sometimes they don’t even fit into power strips because they occupy so much space?

If anything, what we need more than ever right now aren’t new phones, but phones with better batteries and smaller chargers… and the OMNIA X Series is committed to at least solving a large majority of those problems. Designed to be the world’s smallest Apple MFi-certified charging kit, the OMNIA X Series occupies a small footprint, and charges phones fast so you don’t deal with battery woes and charging wait-time woes.

To help you understand why the OMNIA X Series is such a sensible piece of tech, unlike most plugs that are designed around their components, the OMNIA X Series is designed around the footprint of a power-socket. The power-socket is a standard format and the OMNIA X Series tries to limit its shape and size to that format, resulting in a plug that’s small because being small is just a sensible direction to design in. This allows the plug to fit into sockets and strips (even over-crowded ones) without really blocking or interfering with other plugs/switches around it. The OMNIA X Series, despite its size, comes in three variants with 30W and 18W power delivery and the ability to quick-charge your Android and Apple devices with ease. It even packs foldable pins, allowing you to easily carry your charging adapter with you everywhere you go in your backpack or even your pocket.

The tiny power adapter even packs a robust, rugged, nylon-braided charging cable that lets you fast-charge your smartphone. In fact, the OMNIA X Series practically outdoes Apple’s out-of-the-box chargers in every way. It’s smaller, stronger, faster, and cheaper too (especially in the long-run given that your cables won’t ever need periodic replacing). I’m sure Jobs would give it his thumbs-up.

Designed to be the world’s smallest Apple MFi-certified Fast Charging kit, the OMNIA X series can fit any available socket spaces without taking up extra room.

Compared to Apple 5W USB Power Adapter and 18W USB-C Power Adapter, OMNIA X 18W Fast Wall Charger is about the same size but with a higher-power output and is smaller.

Compared to Apple 18W USB-C Power Adapter, OMNIA X1 18W Fast Wall Charger bringing the same power output comes in a smaller size.

Compared to Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter, OMNIA X3 30W Fast Wall Charger bringing the same power output comes in a smaller size.
