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.

On Sunday, April 28th, Dubai’s HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum gave the go-ahead to a major expansion project for Al Maktoum Airport (DWC).

The development will add a new passenger terminal to DWC, marking a major step in the emirate’s goal to transform the global transport hub into the world’s largest airport by 2050.

The construction project is valued at a massive $34.8 billion (AED128 billion), and is necessary to accommodate the projected surge in air travel over the coming years.

The DWC expansion plans were reportedly shelved in 2019. However, the project regained traction under the airport operating company Dubai Airports, who manage both Dubai International Airport (DXB) and DWC.

“HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum reviewed the strategic plan of the #Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects and approved designs for the new passenger terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport, which will be the largest in the world when fully operational,” announced the Dubai government on X, noting that the new terminal will increase annual capacity to over 260 million passengers.

Under the comprehensive development plans, Al Maktoum Airport will surpass the scale of Dubai International Airport by fivefold. Eventually, all of Dubai International’s operations will be moved to the new site.

Dubai Airport CEO Paul Griffiths has emphasized the need for a new facility as DXB airport approaches its maximum annual capacity of 120 million passengers, explaining that the new development will transform airport operations.

“We are not planning an airport that has terminals. We’re going to completely change the business model for airports, make them far more intimate, and get rid of all the legacy processes that we’ve had to subject our customers to for far too long,” Griffiths stated.
