Travel chargers are usually either fast or pocketable, rarely both. Ugreen's latest charger throws that compromise out the window. The Nexode Air 65W Slim just landed in China with a price that feels like a typo, CNY 129, or about $19, and a profile thin enough to slide into any pocket next to your phone.
- Price: CNY 129 (~$19) in China, global availability expected.
- Ports: 2x USB-C (65W + 30W) and 1x USB-A (22.5W).
- Thickness: Just 1.45cm, only 0.2mm thicker than the single-port Air 45W.
- Efficiency: GaN-based with 90%+ efficiency and self-developed temperature control.
- Protocols: Supports PD, PPS, QC, FCP, and SCP for broad device compatibility.
A Pocket-Sized Charger That Actually Charges Everything
At 1.45cm thin, the Nexode Air 65W Slim is barely thicker than the single-port Air 45W model Ugreen shipped earlier. But it adds two more ports, turning it into a three-device hub. The primary USB-C port pumps out 65W for laptops, while the second USB-C delivers 30W for phones. When you plug in all three devices, the main port keeps 45W, and the other two share 15W total, enough to keep earbuds, a phone, and a laptop topped up simultaneously.
Smart Temperature Control and GaN Efficiency
The switch to GaN tech means this charger maintains north of 90% efficiency. Ugreen also addressed a common gripe from earlier slim chargers, heat buildup, with an in-house temperature management system. During our review of the 45W Air model, high-power sessions got noticeably warm, so this upgrade is welcome. The Nexode Air 65W Slim supports a wide range of fast-charging protocols, so it's not just for laptops; iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, and Pixel phones all get optimal speeds.
Price and Where It Fits in Your Bag
At CNY 129 (roughly $19), Ugreen undercuts almost every comparable 65W GaN charger with more than one port. For context, the Nexode Pro 65W with a bulkier build currently sits at $44.99 on Amazon. The Slim's China launch is just the start, a global release is expected soon. If you're tired of lugging a power brick that's thicker than the gadgets it charges, the Nexode Air 65W Slim could be the travel accessory that finally earns a permanent spot in your everyday carry.
