UGREEN Nexode 45W 2-Port Review: Palm-Sized, Two Ports, Thousands of Happy Owners

4.4 · Would Buy
TINY TECH BOX SCORE

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.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • ✓Tiny for a two-port 45W charger, smaller than an AirPods Pro case in two dimensions, with a plug that folds flat.
  • ✓A deep review history: more than 7,000 ratings at 4.7 stars.
  • ✓PPS support for full Samsung Super Fast Charging on the single-port 45W mode, plus standard PD for Apple and Pixel.
  • ✓Thermal Guard keeps it in check under sustained load, and it runs two devices without drama.
Cons
  • ✗No cable included, and full 45W on a Samsung needs a 5A cable.
  • ✗With both ports in use you get 25W and 20W. Fine for a phone plus a small device, not for two fast charges.
  • ✗45W total rules out anything beyond a light laptop.
  • ✗Being so compact, it can end up squeezed next to a bulky plug on a crowded power strip.

The review

Design and build quality

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.

Setup and ease of use

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.

Performance

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.

Durability and warranty

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.

Price and value

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.

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.

Who should buy it?

Buy it if
  • ✓You want the smallest sensible two-port 45W charger.
  • ✓A long, consistently positive review history matters to you.
  • ✓You already own USB-C cables, including a 5A one.
Skip it if
  • ✗You want a cable in the box. The Belkin dual-port includes one.
  • ✗You need two devices fast-charging at once.
  • ✗Your laptop expects more than 45W.

Final verdict

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
