As the power demand for portable devices grow, the chargers are also increasing in size to sustain the power current demanded of these devices. The latest computing devices demand 100W, and so Ugreen has launched their latest GaN Fast Charger (Model: CD226) that delivers up to 100W.
There are 3 USB-C ports and 1 USB Type-A port, similar to the 65W model. This charger is widely compatible with laptops and smartphones. Check out this list from their official website:

USB A Port: SCP/QC3.0/AFC/FCP/APPLE 5V2.4A/BC1.2
It is fascinating to see how a third-party manufacturer can produce a more compact charger than the original brand company. Just look at the photo below. Which charger would you pack in your laptop bag?
I like the Ugreen GaN 100W cuboid design, which is compact and fits within the tight spaces of power strips. Only the UK plug variant of this 100W charger is designed this way, while the other plug variants have the same design as the 65W version.
The official retail price of the Ugreen GaN Fast Charger 100W is S$74.99, but Ugreen is always very aggressive in running online promotions. I highly recommend you to add to your and basket and wait for the next sale to grab them at a great price.
