Ugreen Launches Qi2 iPhone Chargers With Emoji Faces

[Westside guy]

Why do I expect to see Plankton jump out from behind this thing?

"Coin-operated self destruct - not one of my better ideas..."

It’s like the Vegas Sphere’s emojis in the palm of your hands.

 

[svish]

Looks interesting and nice.

They could at least add the percentage, too, though. I feel like I'd need to consult this picture every time to tell the difference between 21% and 99%.

It can do both, apparently:

Finally, a mini gonk droid.

I hope they won’t get Disney lawsuit

 

[Boeingfan]

Yeah, not for me. I charge my phone at night and prefer a completely black room. But they are cute, FWIW.

 

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

I have to say this is more innovative fun than anything Apple has ever done with emoji.

No matter how useful or fun this is, you’re not going to want to use these in your bedroom, hotel room, or whenever you’re trying to watch a movie: Even the tiniest LED light will light up a dark room and make it impossible to sleep or not get distracted.

So, unless you can turn the display off, these chargers will quickly become a nuisance.

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

Cute! Also those are not emojis lmao

 

[Regret]

Can’t believe people are finding reasons to complain about this too, like why are you people even here at this point

 

[CrysisDeu]

Just when I thought it wouldn‘t get more ridiculous than putting a screen in the passenger side of a car.

why is that ridiculous

You can turn the screen off when needed, of course (double-click on the button).

 

[Chazak]

Emoji faces? Seriously?

 

[jamesjingyi]

I will be waiting for AllThingsOnePlace’s review!

Just bought a uGreen 100w charge station and the usb A stopped working 🙈

Side note, are uGreen and Anker getting proper North American safety certifications on their products yet?

I've always wondered if any charger companies get genuine EU/US safety certificates, and if anyone verifies that more than just one golden sample unit passed some tests. I've seen tear downs of some of the cheaper stuff, and the components are an absolute joke.

Exactly. And cheaper non Chinese companies like Amazon Basics and IKEA seem to get all their stuff verified even when it's like a $10 charger.
