UGREEN Unveils Nexode RG 65W Charger For Middle East
The accessories and digital solutions company hopes to create an emotional connection with its cute robot companion.
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.

PayPal has teamed up with TerraPay to improve cross-border payments across the Middle East and Africa. The move is designed to make it easier and faster for users to send and receive money internationally, especially in regions where traditional banking infrastructure can be limited or inconsistent.
The partnership connects PayPal’s digital payments ecosystem with TerraPay’s global money transfer network. The goal is to streamline real-time transfers between banks, mobile wallets, and financial institutions, significantly improving access for millions of users looking to move money securely and efficiently.
Through the partnership, users will be able to link their PayPal accounts to local banks and mobile wallets using TerraPay’s platform. This means faster transactions and fewer barriers for individuals and businesses across the region.
“The Middle East and Africa are at the forefront of the digital transformation, yet financial barriers still limit growth for many,” said Otto Williams, Senior Vice President, Regional Head and General Manager, Middle East and Africa at PayPal. “At PayPal, we’re committed to changing that […] Together, we’re helping unlock economic opportunity and build a more connected, inclusive financial future”.
For TerraPay, the deal is a chance to scale its reach while reinforcing its mission of frictionless digital transactions.
“Our mission at TerraPay is to create a world where digital transactions are effortless, secure, and accessible to all,” said Ani Sane, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at TerraPay.

As the demand for cross-border payment options continues to rise, both PayPal and TerraPay are doubling down on their commitment to provide reliable, secure, and forward-looking financial tools for the region.
