As a technology enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities to enrich the content of my blog. As you know, up until now, I’ve mainly focused my tests and articles on 3D printing. But I wanted to broaden my horizons and explore other areas of technology that might also be of interest to you. After much research, I was lucky enough to come across UGREEN, a brand that immediately won me over with the diversity and quality of its products. Their catalog goes way beyond what I’d covered so far, and I’m really excited about the prospect of testing their products soon. In this article, I’d like to share with you what UGREEN has to offer, from power banks and NAS boxes to ultra-fast chargers and power stations.
UGREEN power banks: portable energy in your bag
UGREEN power banks are designed for those who need to stay connected, wherever they are. With capacities ranging from 10,000 mAh to over 48,000 mAh, these external batteries offer a practical solution for recharging your devices on the move. Imagine you’re on vacation, hiking or traveling abroad, and your smartphone starts to show low battery power. With a UGREEN external battery, you can recharge your phone several times without having to search for an electrical outlet. These power banks are also ideal for long days working outdoors, or at festivals where access to electricity is limited.
I’m due to receive the UGREEN Nexode 20000mAh 130W model in the next few days, which should come in handy for vacations – I can’t wait!
UGREEN power banks are equipped with multiple ports, allowing you to charge several devices simultaneously, and are compatible with a wide range of smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets. Whether you need to recharge your camera on a nature walk, or keep your tablet charged to keep the kids entertained on a long car journey, this type of battery will quickly become indispensable! What’s more, their fast-charging technology ensures that you’ll never run out of battery power for too long, even in the most unexpected situations.
Accessible price range for all needs
The UGREEN power bank range is also diversified in terms of price, making them accessible to a wide audience. You can find models from €30 upwards, perfect for everyday use or occasional needs. For those looking for greater capacity and functionality, the most advanced models (48000mAh / 300W) can fetch up to €179, offering a robust and durable solution for intensive use or for users with several devices to recharge simultaneously.
These prices are in line with what you’ll find in stores for other brands; I recently bought an external battery from an unknown brand for €40 in a shopping mall, for a capacity of 20000mAh, via the official UGREEN website, and delivery is generally free (for simulated orders of around €30 or more that I’ve made).
You can also find their products at Amazon
Why choose UGREEN power banks?
- High energy storage capacity
- Fast charging technology
- Compact, robust design
- Compatibility with a wide range of products
- Well-known brand with a growing user community
UGREEN ultra-fast chargers and cables: optimized charging
UGREEN is also known for its ultra-fast chargers (65W and 100W), which recharge your devices in record time. These chargers feature the latest technologies, such as Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC), to ensure safe, efficient charging.
It’s important to note that a “good charger” can represent a significant investment. That’s why more and more smartphone manufacturers are opting not to supply chargers with their devices, in order to cut costs and offer more attractive prices. This trend often leads users to turn to cheaper alternatives, particularly on platforms such as Amazon. However, in my experience, the cheap chargers I bought didn’t last very long. They proved unreliable, even inefficient, especially for fast charging.
That’s why it makes sense to invest in a higher-end charger, like those offered by UGREEN. Not only do you benefit from fast charging that preserves the life of your battery, but you’re also assured of increased durability. Combined with UGREEN’s high-performance cables, these chargers guarantee not only impressive charging speed, but also unbeatable longevity. Cables are available in various lengths and are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, with reinforced materials for extended use.
The UGREEN range includes chargers to suit all budgets, starting at €13, on the official website or on Amazon.
The benefits of UGREEN chargers and cables :
- Support for PD and QC fast charging
- Durable design with quality materials
- Cables available in different lengths to suit all needs
- Compatibility with a wide range of devices
USB HUBs and other accessories: versatility and connectivity
In a world where connectivity is essential, UGREEN USB hubs stand out for their versatility. Let’s face it, you can never have enough USB ports on a computer, especially on modern laptops, which tend to reduce the number of ports to make them thinner and lighter. This situation can become frustrating when you need to connect several peripherals simultaneously, such as a keyboard, mouse, USB stick or external hard drive.
What’s more, some recent computers only offer USB-C ports, a problem I encountered when buying my latest Macbook Pro. While this is a high-performance standard, it has not yet been fully adopted by all peripherals. USB-C flash drives, for example, are still quite rare and relatively expensive. If I want to connect a 3D printer or laser engraver to my Macbook, I have to use a USB adapter or hub. UGREEN’s USB hubs are the perfect answer to this problem, offering a multitude of additional ports, transforming a single USB-C port into a complete connectivity center. This allows you to easily connect your old USB-A peripherals while enjoying the benefits of new technologies.
What’s more, UGREEN hubs also let you connect two external displays to laptops like the MacBook, providing a more flexible and productive workstation. Whether you need to add extra USB ports, connect an external display, or read SD cards, UGREEN offers a range of USB hubs to suit every situation. In addition to hubs, UGREEN offers a variety of other practical accessories, such as HDMI adapters, phone mounts and protective cable cases.
Why choose UGREEN USB HUBs?
- Multiple ports for maximum connectivity, even on computers with limited ports
- Compatibility with a wide range of peripherals, including those using traditional USB-A
- Possibility of connecting two external displays for enhanced productivity, especially on MacBooks
- Compact, easy-to-carry design
- Ideal for multitasking users and modern computers with USB-C ports only
UGREEN power stations and solar panels: for sustainable energy
UGREEN doesn’t stop at small accessories, they also venture into the field of sustainable energy with their power stations and solar panels. These products are perfect for those who love adventure or need a reliable source of energy during power outages. UGREEN power stations offer high capacity for powering more power-hungry devices, such as laptops, TVs, or even small appliances. Combined with UGREEN solar panels, these charging stations become an eco-friendly solution for recharging your devices wherever you are.
The powers stations and solar panels are not yet available directly from the UGREEN France site, but you can order them from the German site (Europe warehouse), or from stores like Electro dépôt.
I must admit that I’m beginning to fancy this type of product, whether for weekend camping trips, or to put in a garden shed to recharge an electric bike or other battery-powered gardening tools! It might also be interesting to try out a 3D printer connected to one of these solar panels!
Advantages of UGREEN power stations and solar panels :
- High capacity to power multiple devices
- Compatible with solar panels for eco-friendly recharging
- Ideal for camping, travel or emergency situations
- Rugged, portable design
NAS boxes: new for data management in 2024
In 2024, UGREEN expands its range with the addition of NAS (Network Attached Storage) boxes to its catalog. These devices enable you to store, share and secure your data at home or in the office. UGREEN’s NAS appliances are designed to offer a simple and effective solution for managing your files, with a user-friendly interface and automatic backup options. Whether you’re a professional needing to centralize your data, or an individual wishing to create a home multimedia server, UGREEN NAS boxes are a reliable and affordable solution.
In terms of price, some models are relatively attractive, notably the 2-bay model priced at $399. The reliability of these products, just announced on August 20, 2024, is hard to say at the moment. Are they a good alternative to a Synology NAS?
For the moment, these NAS are only available on the US and German sites.
Why consider a UGREEN NAS box?
- Secure, centralized data storage
- Easy-to-use interface with automatic backup options
- Compatibility with various operating systems
- Ideal for professionals and multimedia enthusiasts
