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”.

Aside from the robot aesthetic, the Nexode RG 65W offers cutting-edge GaNFast technology, delivering fast-charging capabilities that outperform traditional silicon-based chargers. Airpyra technology also helps significantly reduce the size of the device for easy portability, making it ideal for leisure or business trips. 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.

stake powers instant payouts with checkout.com pay to card

Stake, a leading digital real estate investment platform, has unveiled Pay to Card, a next-generation withdrawal feature built on Checkout.com’s global payment infrastructure. The integration enables investors to have dividends and returns credited directly to their bank cards — often within minutes — dramatically reducing the traditional multi-day payout process.

After a successful pilot in May involving over 200 users, some investors reported receiving their funds in under 10 minutes. Ricardo Brizido, CPTO and Co-Founder of Stake, emphasized the importance of speed and reliability: “With Pay to Card, we’re eliminating unnecessary delays and putting returns in our investors’ hands almost instantly. This feature was built to directly solve one of the most common pain points in real estate investing, and it’s already driving strong results”.

The feature launch coincides with rapid growth in real-time finance across the Middle East. Checkout.com’s “State of Digital Commerce in MENA 2025” report highlights a 388% year-on-year surge in Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) in the UAE, reflecting strong demand for immediate payout solutions. The same study recorded a 176% increase in total processing volume from 2023 to 2024 and noted that daily online transactions have jumped 320% since 2020.

Since its 2021 debut, Stake has facilitated over AED 1 billion in property transactions, advancing its mission to democratize real estate investment in high-growth markets. By integrating Pay to Card, Stake reinforces its commitment to customer-centric innovation and operational transparency.

Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo, General Manager for MENA at Checkout.com, praised the collaboration: “Stake has always led with customer-first financial experiences. Together, we’re meeting the expectations of a region that is no longer just digital-first, but real-time-first. Pay to Card exemplifies how modern payment infrastructure can directly solve investor pain points”.

Pay to Card is now available to all Stake users in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom. By slashing withdrawal times from days to minutes, Stake and Checkout.com are setting a new standard for seamless, on-demand real estate investing.
