Well the powerline 3 cable supports full speed charging up to iPhone SE 2nd gen, so for the XS the charging speed is limited.

I used apple original 20w adaptor and cable it was fast enough , anker said this charger is faster than apple adaptor even but result is somthing else, do you think maybe one of them has issue?

Well Google says the charging speed of the cable is limited for iPhones above SE 2 2nd gen, so i don’t know what to say

The Anker 511 Nano Pro with the powerline 3 (usb c to Lightning) should charge your XS up to 18 watts max. This should get you from 0-50% in around 30 minutes but not to 100% until around 2 hours. This is because the charging curve slows significantly as you approach 100% to preserve battery heath.

You can test the actual charging rate using an inexpensive usb c voltmeter from Amazon to get a definite answer but it’s possible that you are just noticing the slower charging between 50-100%.
