Charging technology experts UGREEN have unveiled their latest device, the Nexode RG 65W Charger. The multi-port charger offers the usual blend of features and ease of use but also — according to UGREEN — serves “as an enchanting robotic companion”.

In stark contrast to the usual boring designs of rival chargers, the Nexode RG has a whimsical and distinctive robot look, which aims to captivate users seeking a dose of cuteness on top of basic battery top up functionality.

Christy Wang, Product Manager of UGREEN, explained, “[The designer Canyu Yang’s] vision was not just about functionality, but also about creating an emotional connection. He chose to infuse the charger with an artful, compact aesthetic, enhancing its warmth and charm. His personal love for music also found its way into the design, culminating in the delightful concept of a small robot charmingly adorned with headphones. This fusion of technology and artistry is what sets the product apart”.

With two USB C and one USB A port, the Nexode charger is compatible with all modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The robot companion also offers impressive charging speeds, with an iPhone 15 Pro battery reaching 60% and a MacBook Air M2 reaching 51% in just 30 minutes.

The UGREEN Nexode RG 65W Charger is now available for purchase on UGREEN’s website as well as Amazon AE, and will be available on Noon AE at the start of May.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees the DCAI, commented on the initiative’s potential: “This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
