Evaluation of UGREEN Charger 30W (2USB-C+1USB-A)
Key points of this heading!
This charger combines three excellent features: “small size, lightweight, and multiple ports,” making it suitable for both daily use and travel.
However, it has weaknesses such as a total output of 30W and no PPS support, so it is important to choose it according to its purpose.
Size and Portability
It is very lightweight at only 55g. The dimensions are also palm-sized, so it will not get in the way even if you put it in a bag or pouch. It is especially convenient as a sub-charger for carrying around during travel or business trips.
Ms.GadgetsIs it okay to carry it in a pouch?
Mr.GadgetsYes! It can be said to be suitable for carrying in terms of weight and size! Be careful not to scratch or generate heat by keeping it away from metal objects.
Output
When using a single port, USB-C can output up to 30W. Sufficient fast charging is possible for smartphones and tablets. However, when using multiple ports simultaneously, the charging speed will decrease as it is distributed within the total of 30W.
Ms.GadgetsIs it fast even with two devices?
Mr.GadgetsIt is distributed within a total of 30W. Single port use is reliable if you need fast charging.
Number of Ports and Configuration
This model is equipped with a total of 3 ports: 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port. You can connect multiple devices such as smartphones, tablets, and earphones at once, improving daily usability. However, be careful that the charging speed for each device will decrease if you connect 3 devices simultaneously due to the 30W total output limit.
- USB-C ×2 is compatible with the latest devices
- USB-A is also available, so you can use old cables
- Supports simultaneous charging of 3 devices despite its small size
- Fast charging is not possible when connecting 3 devices simultaneously due to the total of 30W
- Not suitable for charging multiple PCs or high-power tablets
Ms.GadgetsWhat about connecting 3 devices simultaneously?
Mr.GadgetsThe total of 30W is shared, so it’s okay if it’s mainly smartphones and small items, but you can’t fast charge everything.

Compatible Standards and Compatibility
It supports PD3.0 and QC3.0, allowing fast charging for many smartphones and tablets. However, it is said to be not compatible with PPS, so some of the latest smartphone features (efficient charging with variable voltage) may not be available.
Ms.GadgetsIs the lack of PPS a significant drawback?
Mr.GadgetsNo, it’s fast enough if it supports PD! It would be nice if it supported PPS, but it would only be a little faster.
Recommended Use Cases
The appeal is that you can charge multiple devices such as smartphones, tablets, and earphones at the same time.
It is particularly suitable for combinations such as “smartphone + tablet” or “smartphone + earphones”.
Ms.GadgetsWhat about a laptop?
Mr.GadgetsIt is not sufficient for general PCs as the total output is 30W. A product that supports 45–65W or more is realistic for PCs.
Summary
The UGREEN 30W charger (2C+1A) introduced this time is a lightweight and multi-port adapter suitable for users who mainly use smartphones and tablets.
In conclusion, it is fully practical for people who want to charge their smartphones and tablets simultaneously while on the go. On the other hand, if you are considering charging a laptop or using a device that requires PPS, it is safe to consider a higher-end model or a product of 45W or more.
