Ugreen has put the Nexode Pro 160W on sale in Europe, and the pitch is simple: a five-port desktop charger with enough muscle for laptops, tablets, and phones, but at a lower price than Anker’s rival Prime 160W. It’s listed at 90 euros on Amazon in the UK and Germany, with a sharper Prime Day discount bringing it down to 57 pounds in the UK and 66 euros in Germany.
That undercuts Anker’s 160W model, which sells for 130 euros or pounds depending on the country. In a category where the top end is increasingly dominated by GaN chargers and aggressively branded ”smart” power bricks, price is the lever that actually moves buyers – especially when the spec sheet looks this similar.
Five ports, 160W, and 140W over USB-C
The Nexode Pro’s hardware is built around five outputs: four USB-C ports and one USB-A. Two of the USB-C ports support Power Delivery 3.1 and can each deliver up to 140W, while the charger’s maximum combined output is 160W. That puts it in the same broad class as other premium multi-device chargers aimed at replacing a whole tangle of wall adapters.
- 4x USB-C
- 1x USB-A
- Up to 140W from two USB-C ports
- 160W total output
Power sharing is dynamic, too. Ugreen says the charger redistributes output automatically depending on what’s plugged in, with one USB-C port able to provide up to 100W when two or three devices are attached, and up to 65W when all five ports are in use. That’s the sort of detail laptop buyers care about, because raw wattage means nothing if the charger chokes the moment you add a second device.
A color screen with emoji is the weird bit
The standout feature is the built-in color display. It shows charging power, device temperature, and other status information, and it can even display emojis if you feel your power brick has not yet earned enough personality. That is partly gimmick, partly genuinely useful: a readable screen on a charger is still a lot more practical than guessing whether your laptop is drawing full power.
Ugreen is clearly leaning into the same formula that has made premium chargers a niche people will actually pay attention to: more ports, smarter power distribution, and just enough visual flair to justify the sticker price. The real winner here is anyone tired of carrying separate chargers for a laptop and a phone. The loser is every bland black brick that thought being functional was enough.
Ugreen’s 160W charger undercuts Anker in Europe
At 90 euros, the Nexode Pro 160W is trying to do what a lot of accessory brands want to do but rarely manage: look aspirational without drifting too far into absurdity. Discounts matter here because the high-end charger market is crowded with similar-looking rivals from Anker, Baseus, and others, and the difference between ”interesting” and ”ignored” is often just a few euros.
For now, the message is clear: if you want a high-wattage desktop charger with a screen and room for five devices, Ugreen has moved early and priced aggressively. The open question is whether the emoji trick is memorable enough to help it stand out once the launch discount fades.
