I'm replacing a standard 2 gang faceplate with one with USB, there are many types so I thought I would ask for recommendations.

My requirements are
Ideally able to get non-USB equivalent (only want one usb one, might be flexible on this if they fit in a 25mm backbox)
I need to charge the following devices
Samsung S10+
iPad Air 2
iPad 9.7
iPad 10.2
iPhone X
and just about anything else with a USB port.

This seems easy enough, just about any USB faceplate should do this, however I would like to retain the quick/fast charge features of these devices (if they have them).

So far I can only find this old guide https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/test-centre/digital-home/best-usb-wall-sockets-3664216/ that mentions fast charge, but the faceplate is listed at £45, quite a price jump from say https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-13a-2-gang-sp-switched-socket-3-1a-2-outlet-usb-charger-white/4087p at £11.

Looking at my Samsung charger, it should be 2.1amps, iPads are also 2.1 (we use an iPad charger for the iPhone so that's included under iPad here)

If I got a 3a faceplate, would that be sufficient? (one device plugged in this in scenario, I know the amps drop if you plug more than one in), or do I need to find one that specifically mentions fast/quick charge?

What have you got and how does it compare to the original chargers?

Thanks
