What Is UGREEN Nexode Pro? The Charging Series Explained

Most desks and bags collect chargers: one for the laptop, another for the phone, a third for the tablet, and a tangle of cables between them. Nexode Pro is designed to reduce the number of separate adapters needed for a compatible multi-device setup.

It is a smart-display charging series built around high-output GaN chargers that can power several compatible devices from one unit. Whether you want something for a travel bag or a desktop charging station, the range includes different power levels and form factors.

Here’s what UGREEN Nexode Pro is, what distinguishes the series, the current models in the range, what they can charge, and how to pick the right one.

Key Takeaways

• Nexode Pro is a smart-display GaN charging series designed for high-output, multi-device charging.
• Selected models provide up to 140 W from a compatible high-power USB-C connection, while total output varies from 100 W to 300 W across the current range.
• The current UK range includes 100 W and 160 W wall chargers as well as a 300 W desktop charging station.
• Compatible phones, tablets and laptops can charge from the same multi-port unit, although available power depends on the model and active port combination.
• Choose by form factor, total output, per-port output and the devices you expect to charge at the same time.

What is the UGREEN Nexode Pro?

UGREEN Nexode Pro is a smart-display charging series that combines high-output GaN charging, multi-port power allocation and real-time charging information in several wall and desktop formats.

The series is designed for people who regularly charge several compatible devices and want clearer information about how power is being distributed. The displays provide charging information such as output and port status, while the exact data shown varies by model.

It is particularly useful for multi-device setups where one charger can reduce the need for several separate power adapters.

The current UGREEN Nexode Pro Series includes 100 W and 160 W wall chargers alongside a 300 W desktop charging station, giving users different options for travel and fixed desk setups.

What makes Nexode Pro “Pro”?

The current Nexode Pro range combines several features: high-output charging, Smart Display monitoring, multi-port power allocation, GaN technology and model-specific protection features.

High wattage, delivered reliably

The range spans total outputs from 100 W to 300 W. Selected 160 W and 300 W models provide up to 140 W from a compatible high-power USB-C connection, which can meet the fast-charging power requirement of compatible 16-inch MacBook Pro models when used with the appropriate port and cable.

A smart display

Each current Nexode Pro model includes a Smart Display, but the information shown is not identical across the range. Depending on the model, the display can show real-time charging power, port status, charging protocol and other operating information.

The 300 W desktop model provides more detailed monitoring information, including values such as voltage, current, protocol and temperature. These display features help users understand how the charger is operating rather than guaranteeing that every connected device is receiving its maximum possible charging power.

Intelligent power sharing

When several devices are connected, the charger distributes its available output across the active ports according to the model’s specified power-allocation rules and the requirements negotiated with each device.

A charger’s total wattage therefore does not mean every port can deliver its maximum output simultaneously. The active port combination matters when selecting a charger for a laptop, tablet and phone at the same time. Our guide explains how multi-port charger wattage is shared when several devices are connected.

GaN technology

Nexode Pro chargers use gallium nitride semiconductor technology. In suitable charger designs, GaN can support high switching frequencies and power density, helping manufacturers build compact chargers with high output.

GaN itself does not mean that every charger will automatically run cooler, use less energy or be smaller than every silicon-based design. Overall size and thermal performance still depend on the complete electrical and mechanical design.

Charging standards and protection

Supported fast-charging protocols vary by model and can include USB Power Delivery, PPS, QC and other protocols on compatible products and devices. For more detail, see what USB PD, PPS and QC fast-charging protocols mean and how compatibility affects charging performance.

Protection and thermal-management features also vary by model. For example, the 300 W desktop model includes its own specified thermal design and temperature-monitoring system, while other Nexode Pro chargers use different protection configurations.

For protocol support, protection features and applicable conformity markings, check the specifications of the individual UK product before purchase rather than assuming every Nexode Pro model has an identical feature set.

The Nexode Pro range

The current UK range spans compact wall chargers, retractable-cable designs and a higher-output desktop station. If you are comparing portable models, our guide explains how to choose a wall charger by power and port count.

The 100 W 4-Port model is the compact option in the current range. It combines four outputs with a foldable UK plug, making it suitable for a phone, tablet and compatible laptop setup where portability matters.

The 160 W 4-Port Retractable Cable model is designed for users who want high output without carrying a separate loose USB-C charging cable. It provides up to 160 W total output and up to 140 W through a compatible high-power connection, while the retractable cable is used for device charging rather than as a mains lead.

The UGREEN Nexode Pro Smart Display Charger (160W, 5-Port, GaN) takes a different approach, providing five ports and high-power USB-C charging. UGREEN states that, in its test conditions, a 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max reached 56% in 30 minutes when charged from a compatible 140 W port.

The 300 W Desktop model is designed for a fixed desk setup. It provides eight ports in total, with USB-C1, USB-C2 and USB-C3 each supporting up to 140 W when used individually. Its available output changes when several ports are active, so the relevant multi-port power-allocation configuration should be checked for the devices you plan to connect. Our guide explains how to choose a USB-C desktop charger for multiple devices when total power and port distribution both matter.

What Nexode Pro can charge

Nexode Pro models sit within UGREEN’s range of USB-C chargers and can power compatible phones, tablets and laptops from one multi-port unit, including mixed setups such as a MacBook, iPhone and iPad.

USB Power Delivery allows compatible devices and chargers to negotiate charging power, but that does not mean every connected device receives its single-port maximum at the same time.

For example, a MacBook, iPhone and iPad can charge from one suitably sized Nexode Pro charger, but the output available to each device depends on the charger model and active port combination. Our guide explains how to build a multi-device charging setup for a MacBook, iPhone and iPad without assuming that every device will charge at its maximum rate simultaneously.

For a demanding laptop, check both the required charger wattage and the output of the exact port you plan to use. If you are unsure what your Mac needs, see how many watts a MacBook charger needs before selecting a Nexode Pro model.

The same principle applies beyond Apple devices. Compatible Windows laptops, Android phones and tablets, handheld gaming devices, earbuds and other USB-powered electronics can use the available ports according to their own charging requirements and supported protocols.

Which Nexode Pro is right for you?

Choose by where you will use the charger, the power requirement of your most demanding device, the number of devices you connect at once and the output available from the relevant port combination.

• For a phone, tablet and compatible lightweight laptop, the 100 W 4-Port model provides a compact multi-device option.

Start with the charging requirement of your most demanding device, then check the charger’s specified power allocation for the exact ports you plan to use. Total wattage alone does not tell you how much power one device will receive when several ports are active.

If you are deciding between a simpler charger and a multi-port model, compare portability with the number of devices you need to charge from one socket.

The wrap-up

Nexode Pro is UGREEN’s smart-display charging series for users who want high-output GaN charging and clearer information about multi-device power distribution.

The current range covers compact 100 W and 160 W wall chargers as well as a 300 W desktop station, with different port layouts and features for travel and fixed desk setups.

The most useful way to choose is to start with your highest-power device, check how many devices need to charge at once and then look at the relevant port-allocation table rather than relying on total wattage alone.

A well-matched Nexode Pro charger can reduce the number of separate
