Industry observers note that if you’re itching for a fast-charging USB-C adapter for your phone, tablet, or another accessory, this is the one to grab right now. Ugreen’s ultra-compact and travel-friendly Nexode Air 65W GaN charger is on sale for $21.49 right now, matching the lowest price it’s ever been and a good 28% off its $29.99 market price.
According to the latest update, plug it into the wall or a power strip and fast-charge a flagship phone like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra from zero to 50% in about 20 minutes or up to 100% in under an hour. It even works well with lighter laptops like the MacBook Air, restoring about half the battery in 30 minutes. Despite its diminutive size, you’re getting a full 65W out of this charger.
As part of the ongoing story, measuring just 1.22 x 1.30 x 1.59 inches with foldable prongs, it’s a little cube that fits into bags, purses, and pockets without snagging on anything. Take it with you while you travel, and make sure you bring along a USB-C cable (included with this purchase). And yeah, it’s small.
As part of the ongoing story, it’s great if you only find yourself charging a single device at a time, and if those devices aren’t high-power laptops. It’s not so great if you have a ton of devices or lots of friends/family who will also be charging at the same time, in which case you’d likely want something like this instead. Note that this is a bare-bones, no-bells-or-whistles charger.
According to the latest update, the Blue and White colorways are available for $24.99—still a sale, but not as good. And again, a fast USB-C cable is included with purchase, making the deal even better. As of this writing, it’s only the Grey colorway that’s on sale for $21.49, so grab it if you’re interested.
