This is the English edition of a review from my Japanese YouTube channel, iestaLife. I review gadgets from my home studio in Japan, so product links go to Amazon Japan.
Quick take
The Anker Prime Wall Charger (67W, 3 ports) is the nicer object: compact, well finished, with a precise folding plug. But on my scale it weighed 142.1 g, while the UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W weighed 113.4 g, about 20 percent lighter, and I paid about ¥4,700 for it versus ¥6,490 for the Anker with a coupon. Unless you are set on Anker, I would carry the UGREEN.
What I tested
- Anker Prime Wall Charger (67W, 3 ports, GaN), bought with my own money
- UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W (3 ports), which I already owned
- A budget 2-port 65W charger I bought for about ¥2,000, as a reference
- Look and feel, size, and weight on a kitchen scale. I did not measure charging speed; all three charged my devices without problems.
What I found
- The Anker feels premium out of the box, and the folded plug makes it very small for a 67W, 3-port charger.
- It is also surprisingly dense. It looks the smallest of the three but is the heaviest, and you notice it in the hand.
- The UGREEN is a little wider, the Anker is a little thicker. The UGREEN does not look cheap either; which one looks better is mostly taste.
- The budget 2-port charger is bigger but light (110.5 g) and handled 65W fine. For a charger you carry every day, I still prefer a well-known brand.
- Both chargers easily handle a MacBook and an iPhone charging at the same time.
Side by side
| Charger | Ports | Price in Japan (at recording) | Measured weight | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Anker Prime Wall Charger (67W) | 3 | ¥8,490 list, ¥6,490 with a coupon | 142.1 g |
 | UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W | 3 | about ¥4,700 when I bought it | 113.4 g |
 | Budget 2-port 65W charger | 2 | about ¥2,000 | 110.5 g |
Who it is for
- Anker Prime 67W: you value build quality and design, or you want to stay with Anker.
- UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W: it lives in your bag every day and you want the lighter, cheaper option with the same 3-port layout.
- A budget 2-port charger: it stays on your desk and two ports are enough.

Limitations
This is a first look focused on size, weight and price. I did not measure charging speed or heat. When I recorded, the Nexode Pro 65W was out of stock on Amazon Japan, so I also linked the UGREEN NexodeX 65W (about ¥3,600) as a close alternative. Prices are Amazon Japan prices at the time of recording, in yen.
