When choosing a charger, what is most important to you?
There are various points to consider, such as performance, portability, design, and safety, and what each person prioritizes differs.

Exterior
The box is small but has a cube shape, so it’s surprisingly deep.
Mr. GadgetIt’s shaped like a box that would likely result in high shipping costs (laughs)
The product itself was smaller than I expected, which was a surprise.
The product was securely protected!
Mr. GadgetThe difference in manufacturers can be seen in these small details!
Actual Usage Experience
Charging speed is easy to see at a glance
As you can see in the picture above, the color of the display changes depending on the output.
This display will automatically turn off after 5 minutes, so you can use it with peace of mind even when going to bed.
Ms. GadgetThis is a nice feature that makes use of the design!

Cute and unique design
This retro and cute design is said to be an homage to the original Macintosh 128K released by Apple in 1984.
It can be used not only as a charger but also as a little interior decoration!
Lightweight and small, yet high output
It’s nice that the plug can be folded in neatly despite its small size.
It’s very portable and good to carry around for short outings!
It weighs 54.5g, which is very light.
It weighs about the same as a chicken egg, so you probably won’t feel it’s heavy when carrying it.
As you can see in the picture above, it was able to super charge my smartphone.
This small size, this lightweight, and this high output of 35W.
It also supports PD3.0, PD2.0, QC4.0, FCP, and SCP standards, which is more than enough.
Mr. GadgetThis is possible because it uses GaN (gallium nitride)!
Protects the battery
As shown in the image above, when the battery reaches 80%, it automatically lowers the charging speed to protect the battery and extend its life.
Rapid charging can degrade the battery more easily, so it’s very practical to have this battery protection function!
Only one port
It’s very small, and it might be asking too much, but it has only one port, so you can’t charge multiple devices at the same time.
Summary
The “SHARGE Retro 35” is a fun and unique charger with a playful design.
It’s a highly complete product with excellent performance and design.
