The latest Ugreen Uno desk chargers, hubs and powerbanks are designed like robots with faces that show digital eyes and mouth when in use.

Ugreen unveiled the new Uno Series chargers with an engaging robotic aesthetic at the IFA consumer electronics and home appliances show in Berlin, Germany.

The lineup comprises a 2-in-1 magnetic wireless charger, a 100W charger, two 10000mAh powerbanks (15W and 30W), a 6-in-1 USB-C hub and a 100W USB-C charge cable. The new Uno accessories will be available from September 16 via Ugreen’s web store and its Amazon store.

Wireless charging is supported via the new Qi2 protocol, which enables MagSafe perks, including magnetic alignment and 15W output. Apple has contributed its proprietary MagSafe protocol to the Qi2 specification, and while Android phones with Qi2 support are few and far between, they’ll eventually arrive.

This convenient desk charger has lots of character thanks to its unusual designs resembling cute robots with charming digital faces. The digital face shows eyes and mouth when charging or just eyes when nothing is charging. It doesn’t serve any real purpose, and your phone will block the face when being charged in horizontal orientation, but it’ll sure look awesome on your desk.

The 15W charging mat at the top can fast-charge your iPhone wirelessly from zero percent to 41 percent in thirty minutes. It’s got a 70-degree movement, letting you adjust the viewing angle when your iPhone is charging in StandBy Mode.

There’s another charging pad at the base for charging your AirPods, rated at 5W (you can charge your phone and earbuds simultaneously). On top of that, you can plug your Apple Watch charging disk into this thing via the built-in 5W USB-C port for passthrough charging of your Apple Watch.

Everyone uses not one but multiple chargers. My first problem is that they look all the same to me, boring black boxes you hide away. With these cutesy chargers, Ugreen has brought back fun to charging. The Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger 15W is priced at $70. It will be available from September 16.

Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Banks 10000mAh

This powerbank is rated with a 10000mAh capacity and sports built-in magnets, letting you snap it onto the back of any MagSafe-enabled iPhone and fast-charge it wirelessly at 15W via Qi2. A digital face is on the other side of the charger, exposed to the world when the power bank is snapped onto an iPhone.

Thanks to the integrated metal stand for interacting with your iPhone when charging in StandBy Mode, it’s both a power bank and a phone stand. Plus, it folds when not in use. Thanks to the built-in USB-C port, you can charge devices off this powerbank via the wire. The port is rated at 20W, and fast-charge capabilities are supported via the USB Power Delivery protocol.

Ugreen also offers a version with twice the wattage (30W) that can recharge the internal battery in two hours and has an integrated USB-C cable. The Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10000mAh 15W costs $70 and will launch in October. The Uno Power Bank 10000mAh 30W will cost $50 and drop in mid-September.

Ugreen Uno Charger 100W

Joining the existing 30W and 65W versions, the new Uno GaN charger is also styled as a robotic figurine. With power output boosted to 100W, this little thing can fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 43 percent in about thirty minutes or an iPhone 15 from dead to 55 percent in 30 minutes. It’s powered by the latest GaNInfinity chip and provides three USB-C ports and one legacy USB-A port, allowing you to charge up to four devices simultaneously.

Like all multi-port chargers, power is shared across ports and cannot exceed 100W. So if you’re, for example, charging your MacBook Pro and then plug in an iPhone, this Uno will redistribute its power output and charge the laptop a bit slower so it has enough power left to send to the phone.

I don’t like boring black products without any character to them. To be honest, I’m more inclined to buy products that use interesting color schemes. The 100W Uno is also black, but other colors may be available at launch because Ugreen offers the 30W and 65W versions in the adorable Pink and Pink/Blue variants. The Uno Charger 100W is priced at $60 and will be available from September 16.

Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub

Ugreen makes one of the best USB-C hubs the money can buy. The new 6-in-1 hub features not one but two HDMI ports for hooking up your Mac or iPad to external monitors and TV sets at up to 4K resolution at 60Hz or 1080p at 120Hz. You also get two USB-C 3.2 Gen2 ports rated at 10Gbps each, two old-school USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and a 100W USB Power Delivery port (85W of passthrough power).

The sleek accessory fits your pocket, bag or purse. Oh, and it’s got that groovy robot design with a digital face via a built-in LCD display that can show four status emoji characters. The Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub is an instant buy at $20 a pop

Uno USB-C to USB-C cable

The new power banks ship with the included charge cable. But if you need a reliable cable, Ugreen has also launched a Uno-branded USB-C to USB-C braided cable. The cable is rated at 100W, enough to charge even the most power-hungry Apple laptop. It’s also a data cable, so you can synchronize your iPhone with a computer through USB-C without issues.

But wait, there’s more. I guess you have a hunch what I’m about to say. Yup, the cable integrates a cute LED smiley showing the charge status. The Uno USB-C to USB-C cable is available in 0.5m (1.7ft), 1m/2m (3.3ft/6.6ft) and 3m (9.9ft) lengths, respectively priced at $9, $13 and $16. You can purchase it from mid-September.
