Top Nano & Ultra-Compact Chargers, Cables & Gadgets Trending on Jumia Kenya Late January 2026: CES-Inspired Pocket Tech
CES 2026 blew minds with insane size-reduction demos—think GaN tech shrinking 65W chargers to matchbox size, magnetic nano power banks sticking like magnets without bulk, retractable cables that vanish into your palm, and multi-port hubs that fit in any pocket or purse. Now, these pocket rockets are flying off Jumia Kenya shelves in late January, with flash deals making them irresistible impulse buys for commuters dodging Nairobi traffic, travelers prepping for trips, and anyone tired of tangled cords and dead batteries.
Early adopters in WhatsApp groups are losing it: One matatu rider shared an unboxing vid of a tiny 65W GaN charger powering his phone and laptop mid-ride—”Fits in my shirt pocket, no more heavy bricks!” A campus student posted about a magnetic nano power bank snapping onto her iPhone during lectures: “Saved my life during blackouts—super slim, charges fast!” Another side-hustler raved about a retractable 3-in-1 cable: “No more forgetting chargers; it rolls up tiny and charges everything!”
These CES-inspired gems use Gallium Nitride (GaN) for cooler, smaller, faster charging—perfect for Kenya’s on-the-go life.
