The UGREEN Nexode 65W (model: 35530) is a 4-port USB-C fast charger with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. According to the sales page specs, total output is up to 65W, it supports USB Power Delivery (PD 3.0) and PPS, and it uses UGREEN's GaN technology called GaNInfinity. It is a setup worth considering if you want to charge a laptop, tablet, and smartphone, plus small devices such as earbuds, all in one place. However, 65W is the maximum when using a single port (USB-C1 / USB-C2); each port does not output 65W when all 4 are in use. Prices, stock, points, and coupons change, so check the sales page for the latest pricing, stock, and output specs.

Design

A block-shaped GaN charger that plugs directly into a wall outlet. Four ports—USB-C1, USB-C2, USB-C3, and USB-A—line up on the front, each labeled with its name. The foldable plug makes it easy to stow in a bag or pouch. On the desk, consolidating several chargers into one makes it easier to tidy up cables and the area around a power strip.

Maximum output with a single port

According to the sales page specs, when only one port is used, USB-C1 / USB-C2 deliver up to 65W (20V/3.25A), USB-C3 up to 30W, and USB-A up to 22.5W. If you want to charge a laptop such as a MacBook at 65W-class USB-C charger output, you need to use USB-C1 or USB-C2. Since USB-C3 tops out at 30W, it is easier to think of it as a port for smartphones and tablets rather than laptops.

Output when using multiple ports

Because total output is up to 65W, using multiple ports at once means that 65W is shared among them. The sales page states that "when charging on multiple ports at the same time, 65W output cannot be provided", so not all 4 devices can be charged at maximum output simultaneously. The sales page text also does not include a detailed output table for each combination, so if you plan to charge a laptop and a phone at the same time, check the latest output specs on the sales page before buying. Actual charging speed also varies depending on the device, cable, and simultaneous connections.

PD 3.0, PPS, and GaNInfinity

The USB-C ports are listed as supporting PD 3.0 and PPS, and the USB-A port as supporting Quick Charge 3.0. The sales page states that it uses GaNInfinity-generation GaN technology and is about 30% smaller than a typical 65W Type-C charger. Whether fast charging works on a given device depends on the standards that device supports.

Choosing between 3-port, 4-port, and lower-output models

If you mainly charge a laptop and a phone, a 65W 3-port setup such as the UGREEN 65W GaN charger or the Anker PowerPort III 3-Port 65W Pod featured on R13 Picks may be enough. If you want to connect up to 4 devices including earbuds or a smartwatch, a 4-port charger like this Nexode 65W is an option. If you do not charge a laptop and mainly use phones and tablets, a 20W-class 2-port charger such as the ELECOM MPA-ACCP20WF is another choice. The point is not which is better, but choosing according to the devices and number of devices you want to charge.

Points to check before buying

If you want to charge a laptop at close to 65W, use a USB-C cable rated for 65W or more, connect it to USB-C1 or USB-C2, and confirm the power your device supports. If you want to choose a cable as well, the article on Case by Case's fast charging cable, which lets you choose the connector type and length, may help. Check the sales page for warranty details and the latest pricing, stock, and output specs.
