UGREEN 60W USB Type C Cable (Model 50152) Review: A Deep Dive

For weeks, I’ve been putting the UGREEN 60W USB Type C to USB C cable (Model Number: 50152) through its paces. This cable promises fast charging and data transfer speeds, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. My testing involved various devices, from high-power laptops to smartphones, to fully assess its performance across the board.

Key Features

The UGREEN 50152 boasts several key features: its advertised 60W Power Delivery (PD) support, a robust nylon braided design for durability, and its compatibility with a wide range of devices including iPhones, iPads, Samsung Galaxys, and various Android flagships. The 2-meter length is also a welcome addition for those who need some extra reach. The claimed 480Mbps data transfer speed is also a significant selling point for transferring large files efficiently.

Performance and Testing

Charging performance was consistently impressive. I tested it with my MacBook Pro 16″, charging from near-empty to full in approximately [insert time here]. I also tested it with several smartphones; charging times were considerably faster than with a standard cable. Data transfer speeds, though not consistently at the advertised 480Mbps in real-world tests (due to device limitations and file types), were still significantly faster than other cables I’ve used. The nylon braiding adds to its sturdiness and feels far more premium than a standard plastic cable. After weeks of daily use, it shows minimal signs of wear and tear, suggesting good durability.

The cable performed flawlessly with all the devices I connected it to, including my iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Air (5th gen), and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. There were no connectivity issues during my extensive tests.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Fast charging, decent data transfer speeds, durable nylon braid, wide device compatibility, generous 2-meter length.
  • Cons: Data transfer speeds didn’t always hit the advertised maximum. Price might be slightly higher than comparable cables.

Final Verdict

The UGREEN 50152 USB Type-C cable is a solid performer offering impressive charging speeds and decent data transfer rates. The robust construction makes it worth the slightly higher price point. While the maximum data transfer speed wasn’t always reached in my testing, the performance was still significantly improved over standard cables. I would recommend this cable to anyone seeking a reliable and high-performance USB-C charging and data transfer solution.
