The Ugreen Nexode RG 65W USB-C charger features a 3-port design, which allows it to charge up to 3 devices simultaneously. It is capable of outputting up to 65W, which means you can use this charger to charge your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch all at full capacity at the same time.

Thanks to efficient power distribution in its 3-port design, this charger can distribute different amounts of power to its ports and adjust the power delivery based on the requirements of the user. The USB-C1 port of this charger can output up to 65W power, which makes it ideal for charging a device like M2 MacBook Air, which can charge from 0% to 51% in just 30 minutes.

The USB-C2 port can output a maximum of 30W while the USB-A port on this charge is capable of charging devices at up to 22.5W speeds. When all three ports are in use, the charger intelligently distributes the power and delivers 45W on USB-C1, 7.5W on USB-C2, and 7.5W on the USB-A port.

The charger is packed with all sorts of safety systems that ensure a safe charging experience for the users and their devices. This includes essentials like short circuits, overload protection, temperature management, and overvoltage protection.

When it comes to design the Ugreen Nexode RG 65W USB-C Charger is as cute as it can get. It comes in two color options that include black and purple colors. It features a cool robotic design with a headphones design on top and a removable cover that lets you cover the charging connectors when it is not in use. The cover is attached to the charger magnetically, which makes it super easy to attach or detach it from the charger. The cover also acts as the robotic design’s legs and shoes, which adds to the cuteness of the charger.

The charger comes with both US and UK-type connectors. The charger we have reviewed in this article features the UK-type plug. Both are available on Ugreen’s website.

At the front, you will find an LED display that displays the robot’s face. The robot’s face changes expressions based on the charging states of the device. The charger changes facial expressions when the charger is connected to a power socket but not powering any devices, when the device is connected while charging and when your connected device is fully charged.

My experience with the Ugreen Nexode RG 65W Charger

After testing the Ugreen Nexode RG 65W USB C GaN Charger for over a month I am ready to share my verdict. First let’s talk about the charger side of things, as no matter how ‘cute’ a charger gets it is only good if it performs its basic function well, which is to charge the devices. I am happy to report that this 65W charger does an excellent job of keeping the devices juiced up.

The intelligent power distribution feature means no matter how many devices you plug into this charger it will charge them without any issues. Here I would like to appreciate the fact that this small-sized charger features 3 USB ports, two of which are USB-C. And having a USB-A port as the third port is also a bonus as for me it was useful for charging my Apple Watch and Sony camera, both of which still use a USB-A cable.

While the 65W charger is great for charging your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods this charger also charges your MacBook Air at good enough speeds. However, since I own a 16-inch MacBook Pro I had to carry a larger capacity charger during my travels along with the Ugreen Nexode RG 65W to charge all my gadgets overnight.

Now let’s talk about the USP of this charger, which is its unique and cute design. I am a big fan of this robotic GaN charger and the LED display found at its front. This adds a nice playfulness to your setup and is a nice departure from the boring chargers that we have always used. However, one suggestion that I have for Ugreen for future versions of this charger is that the LED display would become more useful if users were allowed to also show the current output data for each of the ports especially when multiple devices are being charged. The switching between facial expressions and charging data can be toggled with an app connection or a toggle button on the charger.

The magnetically attached cover or ‘shoes’ of the charger are also pretty handy especially when you are carrying the charger around in a pouch or bag as the power connectors won’t touch and scratch your other gadgets.

All in all the Ugreen Nexode RG 65W USB-C GaN Charger is a pretty great charger and is a must-have for gadget lovers who like to own uniquely designed accessories.
