After using the UGREEN Nexode Mini 30W, I felt that it is a very small and highly portable charger.
The design is simple and doesn’t stand out too much, so I thought it would be easy to use in places like cafes.
It is perfect for casually charging smartphones, tablets, and similar devices!
Ms.GadgetsThere are many color variations, so I also recommend it for women!

Real-world Usability
Lightweight and ultra-compact!
The UGREEN Nexode Mini 30W adopts GaN II, a next-generation power semiconductor material previously used in industrial machinery like satellites, to achieve this level of compactness.
Mr.GadgetsHonestly, I get the impression that all compact chargers these days use GaN.
So the sizes of all these products are pretty much similar (laughs).
Ms.GadgetsWell, it’s convenient for carrying around if it’s this small!
30W maximum output, recommended for charging smartphones and tablets
| Output | USB-C: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A, 30W Max |
This charger is capable of a maximum output of 30W.
Mr.Gadgets30W is enough to fast-charge most smartphones.
Also, I don’t think you would feel dissatisfied with 30W for tablets either.
Compatible with various fast charging standards
| Standards | PPS(3.3-11V/2.7A), PD 3.0(PD 2.0), QC4+ (QC4.0/QC3.0), SCP(10V/2.25A), FCP, AFC, 5V/2.4A, BC1.2 |
Because it supports PPS, it was recognized as “Super Fast Charging” even on my ‘Galaxy S20’.
Mr.GadgetsIt supports the major fast charging standards!

Use caution if you intend to charge laptops or similar devices
Some laptops require more than 30W of power, and using a 30W charger may result in slow charging or a failure to charge at all.
Mr.GadgetsThis is really just a matter of whether the specific power requirements of this charger match the specs of your laptop…
Though for laptops that don’t require much power, like a MacBook Air or a Chromebook, you can charge them normally…
Basically, you shouldn’t use a lower wattage than required when charging a laptop with an AC adapter, but in this case, when charging via USB-C (PD), it will generally just charge slowly or fail to charge, so it is safe to use.
Mr.GadgetsWell, if you have 30W, I think you can charge most PD-compatible laptops, even if it is at a slow speed.
Simple and cute design & wide range of color variations
The UGREEN Nexode Mini 30W comes in four color variations: black, green, blue, and purple.
Ms.GadgetsI’m introducing the green one here, but there are also blue and purple versions.
All of the colors are cute!
Mr.GadgetsUGREEN doesn’t awkwardly overemphasize their logo, and they have many products with simple designs, so I personally love them (laughs).
Only one USB-C port
The UGREEN Nexode Mini 30W is equipped with only one USB Type-C port.
Ms.GadgetsI wish it had two or more ports.
Mr.GadgetsWell, since it is this small, one port is unavoidable.

Reliable protection features
It is said to properly feature safety functions such as overcharge protection, overheat protection, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit protection.
Also, thanks to UGREEN’s proprietary SmartCharge technology, it automatically determines the output according to the connected device and can charge powerfully and safely at the optimal current.
Mr.GadgetsUGREEN is a very well-known company in the gadget world, and I believe they are a trustworthy manufacturer.
Ms.GadgetsChoosing products from a trustworthy manufacturer is important!

Ms.GadgetsIt’s nice that there are many color variations, too!
The green one I reviewed is cute, so I recommend it!
Since it only has 30W and one port, it is not suitable for charging many devices on the go or for charging laptops that consume a lot of power, but it is perfect for casually charging smartphones and tablets!
