You might recognize UGREEN as a powerful contender when it comes to network-attached storage (NAS) solutions, but the company has a portfolio of mobile accessories as well. The latter of which has been gaining more popularity than ever via places like Amazon. One of the company’s latest moves is to team up with a popular video game to launch a new option within this category.
Collaborating with video game franchises has recently become a popular move in China. For example, we just recently spoke with Moondrop in January about its collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail, branding one of its wireless earbuds as a start. Now UGREEN has jumped on the same bandwagon, but in its case, it chose Genshin Impact (a popular action role-playing game).
This collaboration includes a number of themed mobile accessories, including a new power bank, wall charger, wireless charger, and USB-C cable. Three of which the company sent out to us to test out recently (everything but the power bank). They ended up going on a road trip with me to Brian Head Ski Resort, where I solely relied on these to charge my phone, buds, and laptop.
UGREEN 100W USB-C to USB-C Cable Genshin Impact Edition (available via Amazon)
We don’t normally cover USB-C cables, but I was able to get the ok for including this one since I kind of tie things together toward the end of this (I did that on purpose so it wouldn’t be left out). That, and it is always nice to see additional 100W-capable cables for power-hungry devices.
In this case, I have been testing this one out with my laptop, which I have been traveling with. It only needs 65W to charge, but the older cables usually don’t provide this. Forcing me to seek out 100W+ cables for most of my needs. This cable fulfills that need nicely and has been delivering as needed.
The cable features a fun neon green design with a durable braided layer to protect it. There is also a small Genshin Impact-themed charm that acts as a snap/tie to keep it together when coiled. A simple approach to theming something out, but there is only so much you can do with an individual cable, so this makes sense.
With an MSRP of just $9.99, this feels quite reasonable. 100W cables used to run as high as $20, but now that 240W cables are out there in the world, these have gotten a lot more accessible. It is approximately 3.3ft in length.
UGREEN Nexode Wall Charger Genshin Impact Edition (available via Amazon)
Now we take a step up toward something that is much easier to brand. This is the company’s latest wall charger. Nothing too special in specs as these can be found all over. In fact, it is simply a Genshin Impact-themed version of the company’s normal version of this wall charger, which can always be found in blue, white, and black. Only this one looks much nicer than the others (which all look like any other wall charger).
This one has fun Genshin Impact graphics on both of its larger sides. One side in color and the other black and white.
It offers three USB ports (two USB-C and one USB-A), and all three can be used at the same time. It is capable of putting out up to 65W of power for your devices. It isn’t exactly made for all laptops out there since some models can require more than 65W, but for those that do require 65W (or less), this works great.
When using the other ports, the charger will balance out power between them. The USB-A port is limited to up to 7.5W (for your older devices), and the two USB-C ports can handle much more. To get the full 65W from the charger, you won’t want anything else plugged in. If charging two USB-C devices, it will balance one with 45W and the other with 20W (etc).
I have been pairing this cable with the wall adapter to charge my laptop when needed and it is getting the job done just fine. My laptop can be picky about the things I use to charge it with and will even complain if I plug in some 65W adapters, complaining that they aren’t powerful enough. But this isn’t the case here.
This wall charger features an MSRP of $39.99, which also feels reasonable, given that multi-device wall adapters have gotten a little pricey. You can find models out there that can put out as much as 240W, but you can expect to pay closer to (or over) $100 for those.
UGREEN MagFlow Wireless Charger Genshin Impact Edition (available via Amazon)
This is for all of you iOS fans out there who are looking to invest in a new wireless MagSafe charger solution. It is Qi-based, thus it will also work with certain other devices. It features a compact design to it that allows it to fold down into a short cube so that you can easily pack it away when traveling. When you are ready to use it, simply unfold it and place your devices on it.
It takes power via USB-C and comes with a USB-C (of course). Although I have been using the other Genshin Impact-themed one in its place. It also features a second USB-C port so that you can charge a third device using a cable (good thing I now have two cables between the other one and the one that comes with this).
When unfolded, you can attach your iPhone to the top section. Since this supports Apple’s MagSafe, the phone can be oriented either direction so that you can still make use of the bottom section when needed. So in that case, I placed an iPhone (16 series, if it matters) horizontally and my AirPods on top of the bottom section. Both started charging immediately.
Of course, since I need to test it against everything, I also brought with me a pair of 1MORE EVO TWS earbuds (which support wireless Qi charging), and a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (sadly one phone is for work, the other a personal one, and I take both with me everywhere). The S23 does not support MagSafe and I don’t make use of a case to adapt, so I had to rotate the top section of the charger flat so that I can place it on top. I then placed the 1MORE buds on the bottom section and balanced the phone out so it wouldn’t tip everything over. It immediately started charging both just fine.
You can also keep it folded down into its cube shape and use it as just a plain Qi charger for a phone or any other device you place on it.
It isn’t the fastest charge out there, but it also isn’t the slowest. It is capable of charging phones with up to 15W of power, and everything else with up to 5W. The latter includes both sections as it depends on the device (phones vs buds and watches).
You do need a wall adapter (or power bank) that is capable of up to 27W or more. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to charge your phone (although, even then, you need at least 18W output capability from the adapter).
This features an MSRP of $59.99, making it the priciest of the three. But it also does more, is quite compact, and currently (at the time of writing this) has a 30% off coupon waiting for you on Amazon. So, there is that.
Adding them all together for success!
The cable helps feed devices with up to 100W of power, the wall adapter can power devices with up to 65W, and the wireless Qi/MagSafe charger can deliver up to 15W of power. So as the wattage makes its way down the line, each was more than capable of being teamed up with the other.
So I plugged the wall adapter into a nearby outlet (in this case, one built into a lamp at the side of the bed within my hotel room), and ran the special-themed cable between it and the wireless charger. From there, I continued on to the testing scenarios I described above. With the exception of the laptop, since I charged that by itself using the cable and wall adapter (using the wireless charger in addition to charging the laptop would drop the wattage of the wall adapter, thus the laptop would error and not take a proper charge).
All in all, everything came together nicely and makes for a fun collection of accessories for Genshin Impact fans. All of these products are currently available for purchase.
