The Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger (model X783) is the flagship unit in UGREEN\u2019s newly released Nexode Pro Series<\/a>. This is a powerful charger packed with tech, housed in a relatively compact, somewhat flawed design.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the bottom line:<\/span> If you want a stationary charger for all your devices and are willing to use two hands to plug in and unplug a cable, the UGREEN X873 is an all-in-one option worth its $199.99 suggested retail price\u2014street prices<\/a> are often lower. Alternatively, if you want something wall-mountable, consider the Sabrent Voltik<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UGREEN Nexode Pro 300W (X783): A stationary desktop charger that moves a lot<\/h2>\n

Out of the box, the Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger surprised me a bit with its weight: It\u2019s quite heavy, weighing almost two pounds (1 kg), for a relatively compact, palm-sized device. This thing seems totally solid, like a lead cube. Yet, over the weeks of testing, I often found it not heavy enough.<\/p>\n

Let me explain.<\/p>\n

The X783 is a desktop box with all six of its USB-C ports on the front. After that, you have a USB-A port and, uniquely, a DC out port on the left side. On the back, it has a large IEC C5 power port, similar to the one on a computer\u2014connect it to a power socket with the included cord, and it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

On the underside, two rubber feet help it stay put on a surface\u2014there\u2019s no mounting option. Alternatively, you can place it on the included plastic base, which lifts its front a few degrees for easy access to the charging ports.<\/p>\n

The front and back of the UGREEN X783 Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger. Note its USB-C charging ports on the front and the large power port on the back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And this is where things get annoying: While heavy, the charger isn\u2019t heavy enough for anyone to insert or remove a charging cable with one hand. It\u2019ll move if you pull on the cable \u2014 this gets worse when you place it on the included light plastic base. As a result, you can\u2019t plug in a device or remove the cable without using two hands: one to hold the charger down and the other to work on the cable.<\/p>\n

The problem is that when you want to charge something, you often already use one hand to hold the device that you want to charge. This wouldn\u2019t be a problem if the charging ports were on top or if there was a way to mount this charger securely to a surface.<\/p>\n

The fact that this Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger can only sit loosely on a surface means it\u2019s precarious. You might accidentally knock it off the top of a desk\u2014something fairly easy when you\u2019re in a hurry. Now, if it lands on your toe, you\u2019ll argue that it\u2019s actually too heavy, and you\u2019re right!<\/p>\n

UGREEN Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger vs. Sabrent Voltik 252W 8-PORT USB PD 3.0 Charger: Hardware specifications.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The UGREEN Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger (X873) is quite heavy for its compact design. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lots of tech, cumbersome implementation<\/h3>\n

The impractical design aside, the X783 has some cool tech for a charger.<\/p>\n

On the front, above the USB-C ports, there\u2019s a large screen that, by default, shows the current wattage output of each port and their total. This is not a touchscreen, but you can use three navigation buttons on top to move around different sections, including the charger\u2019s mode: Adapter Power, Thermal-safe Charging, Priority Charging, etc.<\/p>\n

Overall, the screen can show a lot of information, and the navigation was self-explanatory enough. However, I found the setup a bit cumbersome: you have to press and hold a lot of buttons to get to a certain section\u2014the process would be much better if this were a touchscreen. Additionally, the screen doesn\u2019t seem bright enough, even at the highest level.<\/p>\n

Like the mobile X776 mobile charger<\/a> in the series, this X783 Desktop Charger also features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (2.4GHz Wi-Fi 4), which lets users manage it via the UgreenConnect mobile app, which requires a UGREEN login.<\/p>\n

UGREEN and your privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Signing in with a vendor-linked online account generally means your hardware is connected to the vendor at all times, which creates inherent privacy risks. On this matter, UGREEN, a Chinese hardware maker, offers this Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Managing your devices via a third party is generally a double-edged sword, and privacy is a matter of degree and trust<\/a>. Data collection and handling vary by vendor and region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On this front, the setup process was the same<\/a> as that of the mobile version and was simple enough. However, unlike that previous experience, this time I ran into trouble binding the charger to the app and then connecting it to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

\n
\"The\"The<\/div>
Despite some initial issues getting connected, the UGREEN Nexode Pro 300W Desktop Charger works well with the UgreenConnect mobile app, though it has fewer features than the mobile version (the X776<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first was because my review unit\u2019s serial number somehow wasn\u2019t in UGREEN\u2019s database. It took a few days, but UGREEN sorted that out on their end. The Wi-Fi issue was because, during setup, the app automatically added a space after the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) I entered. When I found out and removed that space, everything worked as intended.<\/p>\n

Then, to my surprise, the app didn\u2019t offer as much access to the desktop charger as it did with the X776 mobile version. Specifically, here\u2019s what it can do with this X783 desktop version:<\/p>\n
