Ugreen’s new Uno chargers have cute emoji faces that change when you charge

Ugreen has a caller postulation of iPhone and USB accessories for IFA 2024 that truly crook up the charm. The Uno enactment is simply a postulation of GaN and Qi2 chargers, cables, a powerfulness bank, and a USB-C hub — each featuring tiny a surface solely for displaying robot-like emoji faces.

The astir endearing ones by acold are the $60 Uno Charger 100W four-port USB charger and $70 15W Qi2 magnetic powerfulness slope that sticks to MagSafe phones — each looks similar a adjuvant small bot person you’ve appointed to unrecorded connected your table and assistance with your charging duties. They’re besides the astir expressive, with their TFT screens showing up to fractional a twelve antithetic faces to springiness immoderate thought of the existent complaint levels / rates of your device.

For example, the faces connected the Qi2 powerfulness slope tin greet you with a “Hi” message, look acrophobic erstwhile its artillery level is beneath 20 percent, and get exceedingly joyous arsenic it fills up — topping disconnected with immoderate loving heart-eyes astatine afloat charge. The 100W charger has akin multi-stage faces to bespeak charging speeds.

Have I mentioned that the Qi2 powerfulness slope has a tiny kickstand that makes it look similar it has skinny small arms to clasp up your telephone similar a diminutive Atlas trying its best? Adorable.

There’s besides the $70 Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger, which I got to effort up of clip and is sadly a spot much limited.

Instead, the 2-in-1 displays conscionable 2 faces, 1 to proclaim “I’m plugged successful and acceptable to charge,” and different that confusingly communicates “Hey buddy, your devices are charging. Or possibly they’re full? I don’t cognize man, wherefore don’t you check? I conscionable enactment here.”

The 100W-capable USB-C to USB-C cablegram I besides tested besides has a screen, but with adjacent little to communicate. Its affable look doesn’t amusement up until you plug successful a instrumentality to charge, and past it has conscionable 1 look of closed eyes joyously smiling. (Or possibly it’s laughing astatine me? What is your deal, you small cablegram goblin?!)

Ugreen’s caller Uno enactment has six accessories successful total, which ever-so-slightly instrumentality the boring retired of commoditized tech. One adjacent tries to marque a 6-in-1 USB-C Hub a small kawaii. They’re acceptable to motorboat betwixt mid-September and October. Here’s the terms breakdown for each one:
