Ugreen has officially launched its Nexode Air Slim 100W gallium nitride charger in international markets, bringing a high-output, card-shaped power adapter to overseas buyers with a folding British plug design built for travel. According to technology publication ePrice, the accessory made its debut in the United Kingdom priced at £59.99, which converts to approximately NT$2,500. The device was originally introduced in China under the name “Little Ice Slice Gallium Nitride Charger,” offering consumers a remarkably flat profile designed to slip easily into laptop sleeves, backpacks, or tight pockets.
Power Output and Multi-Port Configuration
The Nexode Air Slim 100W features a compact layout equipped with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. According to ePrice, either of the USB-C ports can deliver up to 100W of power when used individually, providing enough output to charge most modern laptops on the market. Meanwhile, the single USB-A port supports a maximum output of 22.5W for smaller electronics. When users connect two or three devices simultaneously, the first device plugged into the charger still receives between 60W and 80W of power, with the exact distribution varying dynamically depending on the total number of active connections and port configurations.
Gallium Nitride Efficiency and Form Factor Design
To achieve its slender dimensions, Ugreen built the internal architecture around a new generation of gallium nitride semiconductor chips. According to ePrice, the manufacturer reports a maximum conversion efficiency of up to 93 percent for the new circuitry. This high efficiency rating minimizes thermal energy loss during power conversion, which keeps operating temperatures lower and allows engineers to reduce the overall thickness of the chassis. Additionally, the charger features a folding British plug mechanism that retracts neatly into the body when not in use, preventing the prongs from catching on clothing or other items inside a bag.
Real-World Usability and Competitive Pricing
Beyond portability, the flat card-like footprint offers distinct advantages in tight physical spaces. According to ePrice, the Nexode Air Slim 100W hugs wall surfaces much closer than traditional bulky adapters, making it easier to plug into wall outlets located behind heavy furniture or in cramped office settings. Safety protections built into the unit include over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit safeguards. Priced at £59.99 in the United Kingdom, the accessory sits in a similar price bracket to the Nexode Pro 100W that Ugreen released previously, though the Pro model utilizes a four-port layout with a built-in color display rather than prioritizing ultra-slim dimensions.
