Ugreen launches new mini GaN charger with three ports and 45 W fast charging support

Ugreen has introduced a new charging brick in China, the "Ice Speed X524." One of the main highlights is the small and portable form factor. The company claims it utilizes the self-developed Airpyra stacking tech, making the charger noticeably smaller than others with the same charging speed rating.

On that note, the new Ugreen GaN charger supports 45 W fast charging. It's claimed to be capable of getting the iPhone 16 from 0% to 60% in 30 minutes (60 W 1-feet Anker USB-C cable curr. $5.99 on Amazon). There's support for major charging standards, allowing the brick to power a wide variety of devices, including low-power earbuds and smartwatches.

Regarding the port configuration, the new Ugreen 45 W GaN charger features three ports. Two of them are USB Type-C ports, while one is a USB Type-A port. Among the three, the first two can max out at 45 W, while the Type-A port can offer a maximum of 22.5 W.

When all the ports are connected to devices, the USB-C1 will max out at 30 W, while the other two will offer 6 W of power, respectively. Ugreen highlights that the charger utilizes a self-developed ThermalGuard chip, which ensures safe charging during heavy loads by maintaining the optimal temperature.

As for the GaN chip inside, it's said to be capable of offering an energy conversation rate of 93%. Among the other highlights are a sleek design and multiple protection features. The launch price in China is CNY 79.90, which is around $11. There's no word on when it will make a global debut, but Ugreen generally brings most of its products outside the Chinese market.
