Ugreen’s latest release isn’t just a lightning-fast 45W GaN charger

Power bricks have long been relegated to the realm of boring, utilitarian grey boxes, but Ugreen’s latest release is trying to change that. Capitalizing on the growing “desk pet” trend , the accessory maker’s new 45W GaN fast charger looks more like a collectible vinyl toy than a piece of tech. Shaped like a plump, minimalist cat —complete with tiny ears and a simple, charming expression—the device is designed to double as a whimsical desk ornament when it isn’t juicing up your gear.

The aesthetic is clean and modern , featuring a white body accented by subtle pops of red on the ears and base . However, the real novelty lies in how the device actually functions. Ugreen has opted for a quirky “split-body” design, which means you essentially have to decapitate the little feline to access the charging hardware. The single USB-C port is tucked away on top of the detached head —which plugs directly into the wall while connected to your cable—leaving the bottom half behind as a standalone desktop figurine . Wrapped in a soft, tactile liquid silicone , this is a charger meant to be shown off, not hidden away behind a power strip.

Don’t let the whimsical exterior fool you, though—the hardware underneath is highly capable. Leveraging Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology , this tiny charger delivers up to 45W of power through its single USB-C port. With support for multiple power profiles ranging from 5V/3A to 20V/2.25A, it is versatile enough to top off everything from smartphones and tablets to handheld consoles like the Steam Deck and even lightweight ultrabooks .

In terms of footprint, the charger remains highly portable . Standing just over 63mm tall and weighing in at a modest 115 grams (roughly 4 ounces) , it easily slips into a backpack —even if its bulbous, rounded shape is a bit more eccentric than your standard flat wall adapter. It supports a universal input range of 100-240V for hassle-free travel , and Ugreen is backing the device with a reassuring 18-month warranty .

The pricing is perhaps the most enticing part. Ugreen is retailing the charger via JD.com in China for just 89 yuan, which converts to a highly competitive $13 USD . While there is no official word yet on a global release , Ugreen’s history of international distribution suggests it will likely make its way to Western storefronts eventually. At just thirteen dollars, it’s an absolute steal for anyone looking to inject a little personality into their daily cable management .
