Ugreen's 100-watt GaN charger offers is ideal for those looking for superfast charging of multiple devices.
Ugreen 100W GaN Charger MSRP $62.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Ugreen GaN charger offers a great value and is an utter no-brainer at this price” Pros Cons You’re packing for a trip and are forced to take along separate chargers for literally every smartphone, camera, laptop, set of earbuds, and every other smart device you will carry with you.
What is a GaN charger? Silicon is a semiconductor that is widely used in circuitry for electronic components. Silicon has been used as a semiconductor for over 60 years, and scientists believe they may soon be approaching the theoretical limit of silicon-based chips. Typical GaN chargers can deliver a power output upwards of 100W, while some companies such as Oppo and Xiaomi have even achieved speeds higher than 200W. At MWC 2022, Oppo demonstrated its 240W GaN charger that can charge a 4,500mAh battery to 100% in under 10 minutes.
The external shell comes in a dark gray color and feels similar to a brushed aluminum surface in terms of feel. This gives the charger a premium appearance, and it could even succeed in fooling you that it is made of metal and not plastic. Overall, the charger feels robust, and while I would not recommend doing so consciously, it should be able to withstand some moderate falls.
Charging protocols supported by each port The Ugreen charger supports USB-PD 3.0 and Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4+ through all three USB Type-C ports. Alongside USB-PD, the charger also supports PPS — a newer standard that allows the charger to manipulate output current and voltage in micro-step, thereby resulting in more efficient use of energy and reduced waste in the form of heat.
Secondly, when you plug in a new device, the already plugged-in devices will stop charging for a second. This is probably because the charging speeds readjust when multiple ports are engaged. I reckon this might sound like nitpicking and may not bother the majority of the users, but if it weren’t for this, I would probably give this charger a perfect score of five stars.
