UGREEN Nexode Pro vs Anker Prime 160W charger (2026)
Updated 2026-11-08
Short answer. For a desk with a MacBook and more, the UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W 5-Port ($89.99; buy: https://dealectric.com/go/ugreen-nexode-pro-160w-5-port, code UL65636 saves $25, pre-applied by the link) beats the Anker Prime 160W on ports and price: two 140 W USB-C ports, a 100 W and a 30 W USB-C and a USB-A, against Anker's three USB-C ports and no USB-A at $149.99 list. For travel with one laptop, the Anker Prime 160W ($115.99 on Amazon (checked 2026-11-12); buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9NK4M7Q?tag=dealectric-20) is the better product: 220 g against about 360 g.
Neither holds 140 W to a laptop once a phone is plugged in: both split to about 100 W + 60 W, and the Anker throttles to about 110 W after 20–25 minutes at full load (adamtalks.tech).

Rows marked with a code and buy link are products Dealectric lists: the price was verified on the brand's own US store on 2026-11-07 and the code is tested daily in that brand's cart; the date shown is its last pass (last check 2026-11-13). The other rows (Anker, UGREEN) are included so the comparison is complete; their figures and prices were read from the makers' own US pages on 2026-11-05 and are not re-checked daily. The buy links are affiliate links: they open the brand's official US store at no cost to the shopper, and the commission pays for the testing; see the disclosure. Rows priced "on Amazon" are sold on Amazon.com: their buy link is an Amazon Associates link that opens the Amazon listing, and the price is Amazon's, read on the date shown. Their specs were read from the makers' own US pages. As an Amazon Associate, Dealectric earns from qualifying purchases.
Does the laptop cut out when a phone is plugged in?
Any multi-port charger re-splits its power when a device is added, and the laptop can pause for a second while it renegotiates. Owners report this more often on Anker's multi-port line (Slickdeals, Framework forum); Notebookcheck's one-hour, five-device test of the UGREEN 5-port held the laptop at a steady 56–58 W with four other devices attached. Neither maker documents it.
Which one for a 16-inch MacBook Pro
Full-speed charging needs 140 W: on 2021 models only over MagSafe 3, on 2023 and later also over USB-C with a 240 W cable (MacRumors). Either charger gives 140 W to one port when nothing else is plugged in; neither ships with that cable. Anker's 100 W Prime (A2688) was sold out on anker.com on 2026-11-05.
