Ugreen’s 160W charger packs five ports, a compact 320-gram body, and a tiny display, and it costs 279 yuan, or about $40. The new Ugreen charger is designed to power a laptop, phone, tablet, and other devices from a single brick.
The appeal is not just the wattage. At the same price tier, many multi-port chargers still rely on vague power-sharing claims, while Ugreen is focusing on visibility with a built-in display that shows charging power, energy split across ports, and fast-charging protocol status in real time.
Five ports, one compact Ugreen charger
The new charger includes four USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Ugreen says its SmartCharge system detects connected devices automatically and adjusts output dynamically, which is exactly the sort of feature that sounds boring until you plug in the wrong cable and wonder why your laptop is charging like it’s been put on a diet.
Maximum output from a single USB-C port is 140W, enough to handle fairly power-hungry laptops. Use multiple USB-C ports and the charger can deliver 160W in total, while loading all five ports caps the output at 155W. For buyers, that means the headline number is real, but like most compact chargers, the full output is shared rather than multiplied.
Why the screen is more useful than it sounds
The tiny display may be the smartest part of the whole design. Fast chargers often hide their behavior behind a cable and a prayer, but a live readout makes it easier to spot whether a phone, laptop, or accessory is actually getting what it needs. That transparency is becoming a quiet battleground in charging gear, especially as brands try to make high-wattage bricks feel less anonymous.
Ugreen also unveiled the PB610, a more unusual mobile battery with a metal shell, a 1.47-inch screen with emoji, and 10,000mAh capacity. It is a reminder that the company is not just chasing raw wattage; it is trying to make power gear feel a little less dull, which is probably a harder job than it sounds.
