Ugreen has introduced a new 100W charger in China, offering a flatter, more portable alternative to standard block-style power adapters. The Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN charger (model X876) is priced at 189 yuan, which converts to about $28.
Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN Charger Specifications
The charger comes with an unusual physical footprint. It measures 90.2 x 55.6 x 18.2 mm and weighs 178 grams. Rather than the usual cube shape, Ugreen opted for a card-like design that is noticeably thinner. It also includes foldable prongs, allowing it to slide into pockets or laptop sleeves more easily without the plug catching on fabric or scratching other devices in a bag.
For connectivity, the charger includes three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. Both USB-C ports can deliver the full 100W of power when used individually. This provides enough wattage to charge most modern laptops, with Ugreen saying that a 2022 MacBook Air can reach a 53% charge in 30 minutes. The single USB-A port outputs up to 22.5W, making it a practical option for older cables and low-draw accessories like smartwatches, cameras, or wireless earbuds.
Internally, the charger relies on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology and Ugreen’s AirPyra stacking architecture. This internal layout is what allows the device to achieve a power density of 1.09W/cm³ while remaining relatively slim. Heat management is a common challenge for compact chargers, so Ugreen has integrated a thermal monitoring system.
The company says this system checks temperatures constantly throughout the day, dynamically adjusting the power delivery to prevent overheating. It also includes nine standard safety mechanisms, such as short-circuit, over-voltage, and over-current protection.
The charger supports a wide variety of fast-charging protocols, including PD 3.0, PPS, QC 3.0, AFC, and FCP. This ensures it will work efficiently with hardware from Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and other major manufacturers.
Last month, Ugreen also introduced a similar 65W GaN charger featuring three ports, foldable prongs, and a slim design measuring less than 15mm.
