The GaN charger market offers numerous options for portable power, but size remains a key differentiator. UGREEN recently unveiled the Nexode Air 65W, claiming the title of the smallest 65W charger in its category. Priced at just $24 (down from $39), it includes a USB-C to USB-C cable and serves as a versatile charging solution. Alternatively, Rolling Square offers a 65W charger priced at $49, featuring a textured side design for easier grip and identification in a bag. Both devices share nearly identical plastic constructions and similar dimensions, with the UGREEN model weighing 77g and the Rolling Square model 70g (or 73g with EU prongs).

Each charger utilizes a single USB-C port supporting USB PD 3.0, delivering power profiles up to 20V/3.25A (65W). Notably, both support PPS fast charging, making them compatible with Samsung devices. The UGREEN Nexode Air distinguishes itself with four color options, including a preferred orange hue, and features the USB PD 3.2 AVS protocol for enhanced iPhone 17 and 18 charging efficiency. In side-by-side testing charging Pixels and other devices, both chargers proved reliable. While the Rolling Square offers tactile advantages, the UGREEN Nexode Air 65W provides superior value, making it the recommended choice for a primary portable GaN charger.
