I've used UGREEN's Nexode Pro chargers for over two years while traveling, and the latest UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W Charger with Retractable Cable is now my go-to GaN charger. Available for $99 on Amazon, it adds a retractable cable, built-in LCD panel, and foldable pins. After three months of testing, here are three reasons why it excels.

The built-in LCD panel eliminates charging guesswork by showing real-time wattage, voltage, and the active charging protocol. This is especially useful for devices like the Find X9 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra that use proprietary standards but fall back to USB PD at up to 50W. The screen also rotates based on charger orientation.

The retractable cable extends up to 70cm with four preset lengths and supports up to 140W, ideal for phones, notebooks, and power banks. Its USB-C connector has a built-in magnet for secure storage, and the motor showed no issues after extensive use.

With three USB-C ports (including the retractable cable) and one USB-A port, the charger delivers a total 160W power budget (65W + 65W + 30W across USB-C ports). The USB-C1 and retractable ports hit 140W via USB PD 3.1, USB-C2 reaches 100W, and USB-A provides 22.5W. The foldable EU plug enhances portability, making it an excellent travel companion.
