Put this next to an AirPods Pro case and you’ll see the point of it. UGREEN’s 45W Nexode packs two USB-C ports into a body about that size, the plug folds flat, and more than 7,000 owners have rated it.
That combination of small size and long track record is why we’d call it the default two-port charger for most people.

One-sentence verdict: Buy it if you want a tiny, foldable two-port GaN charger with a long track record; the only catches are the 25W/20W split every 45W two-port charger has, and no cable in the box.

It’s a small matte-black GaN cube with two USB-C ports and a folding two-prong plug, and UGREEN’s size claim holds up. This is one of the smallest two-port chargers you can buy, and it disappears into a bag.
The build is tidy, the plug folds away with a firm click, and nothing rattles.
Fold out the plug. Add a cable. Done. A Samsung phone gets PPS, an iPhone gets full PD speed, and if you plug in a second device the charger rebalances to 25W and 20W by itself. The missing cable is the only bit of friction.
From one port you get the full 45W with PPS, which is enough for any current phone or a MacBook Air.
Both ports at once? That’s the limit. Twenty-five watts still charges a phone quickly, and 20W is plenty for earbuds or a watch, but you won’t get two full-speed charges at the same time. Under a long, full load, Thermal Guard keeps the case warm rather than hot. And the best evidence that it keeps doing all of this reliably, month after month, is that huge and consistently positive pile of reviews, built up from more than 7,000 owners who’ve had the chance to complain and mostly haven’t.

For a charger, 7,000-plus ratings at 4.7 stars is about as good a durability record as you’ll see, and the Nexode line has held up well across UGREEN’s range. It comes with a limited warranty, though the listing doesn’t print the term.
At $23.99, it’s priced right. It costs about the same as Samsung’s single-port 45W brick and less than most name-brand two-port chargers.
If you’re buying one charger, this is the one to beat. Two ports, a tiny folding body and a review history that takes most of the guesswork out of it. The only reason to spend more is if you want a cable in the box, and in that case the Belkin dual-port is worth paying a little extra for.

| Product | Best for | Key advantage | Main drawback | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UGREEN Nexode 45W 2-Port (this charger) | The smallest well-proven two-port 45W charger | Tiny; foldable; 7,000+ ratings at 4.7; $23.99 | No cable; 25W/20W split; 45W max | $23.99 |
| Belkin 45W Dual USB-C Charger | The same idea with a cable included | Cable in the box; fold-away prongs; $19.99 | Smaller review history; white only | $19.99 |
| Anker Nano 65W Charger | One port with laptop-class power | 65W runs a MacBook Pro 13″; tiny | Single port; $29.99; no cable | $29.99 |
This and the Belkin dual-port are the two best compact two-port chargers we’ve looked at. UGREEN has the much longer track record, and Belkin throws in a cable. Need to charge a proper laptop? Skip both and get the single-port Anker Nano 65W.
Small, proven and cheap. It folds flat, it supports PPS for Samsung and standard PD for everything else, and with more than 7,000 ratings at 4.7 stars behind it, most of the risk you’d normally take on a charger from a brand you don’t know well has already been taken by somebody else.
Its caveats are the ones every charger in this class shares: no cable in the box, a 25W and 20W split when both ports are busy, and no headroom for a bigger laptop. If you’d like a cable included, the Belkin dual-port is worth the small premium. Otherwise, this is our default pick.

No, you get the charger only. You’ll need your own USB-C cable, and a 5A one for full 45W on a Samsung phone.
The charger splits its output to 25W and 20W. That covers a phone plus earbuds or a watch, but not two fast charges at once.
Yes, through PPS on the single-port 45W mode. It also does standard USB-C Power Delivery for Apple and Pixel devices.
Only a small one. Something like a MacBook Air gets up to 45W from a single port, but bigger laptops need more.
They’re very close. The UGREEN is a touch smaller and has a far bigger review history, while the Belkin includes a cable and has fold-away prongs. Either is a solid choice.
