Ugreen’s latest 160W GaN charger is designed to do more than simply power devices quickly. Its most unusual feature is the front-facing smart display, which gives users a live look at charging activity while the adapter handles multiple devices at once.
That combination makes the charger especially relevant for people who want to reduce the number of power bricks they carry. Ugreen has priced it at 279 yuan in China, positioning it as a premium all-in-one option for phones, tablets, laptops, and accessories.
A charger that shows what it is doing
The standout feature is the multi-window smart display on the front. It shows output power and fast-charging protocol status in real time while devices are connected.
That visibility is rare on a wall charger. Instead of relying on a separate monitoring tool or app, users can see how power is being distributed directly on the charger body.
Five ports, broad device support
Ugreen equips the charger with four USB-C ports and one USB-A port. That layout allows up to five devices to charge at the same time from a single adapter.
The company also uses its own SmartCharge technology. According to Ugreen, the system detects the power needs of connected devices and then distributes charging speed intelligently.
For single-device use, USB-C can deliver up to 140W. That makes the charger suitable for devices with demanding power requirements even when only one port is in use.
Output varies by setup
When multiple ports are active, the charger can still reach a maximum output of 160W in configurations using two USB-C ports, three USB-C ports, or four USB-C ports. When all five ports are used together, the total output reaches up to 155W.
The detailed output levels are also clearly defined. USB-C1 and USB-C2 each support up to 140W, USB-C3 supports up to 100W, USB-C4 supports up to 30W, and the USB-A port supports up to 22.5W.
| Port | Maximum Output |
|---|---|
| USB-C1 | 140W |
| USB-C2 | 140W |
| USB-C3 | 100W |
| USB-C4 | 30W |
| USB-A | 22.5W |
GaN design for better efficiency
The charger uses an upgraded gallium nitride, or GaN, chip. Ugreen says this design improves efficiency while reducing heat during charging.
It also includes real-time temperature monitoring. That feature is meant to improve safety, especially during long charging sessions or when several devices are connected at once.
GaN matters in a high-power charger like this because it helps keep the size and weight under control compared with conventional charging approaches.
Lighter than before and easier to carry
Ugreen has also reduced the weight from 353 grams on the older version to around 320 grams. That makes the charger more practical for travel and everyday carrying.
The body design also gets a small visual change, with the “160W” marking shifting from gray to red for a more noticeable look. The charger supports a 100V to 240V input range, which gives it flexibility across regions with different power standards.
With five ports, a live display, high output, and temperature monitoring, the charger is built as a versatile option for users who want to charge several gadgets without carrying multiple adapters. At 279 yuan in China, it sits in Ugreen’s premium segment while putting the display and charging visibility at the center of the product experience.
