Anker 715 vs. UGREEN Nexode Air 65W: do you need the cable?

Two single-port 65W chargers. Choose around the cable you need and the device you actually charge.

Manufacturer product images. This is a comparison of published specifications.

Both chargers offer one USB-C port, up to 65W output and a folding US plug. The clearest documented difference is in the box: the Anker 715 does not include a cable, while the UGREEN Nexode Air includes a 3.3 ft USB-C-to-USB-C cable.

For a compatible device that needs no more than 65W, that difference gives you a useful starting point. Already have a suitable cable? The Anker 715 is worth considering. Need a charger and cable together, and 3.3 ft reaches your device? Consider the Nexode Air. The evidence does not establish that either charges faster, takes up less space or costs less overall.

This comparison uses manufacturer information checked on October 30, 2026. The article was updated on October 31, 2026. We have not tested either charger hands-on.

Compare the exact models

This article covers the Anker 715 Charger (Nano II 65W), model A2663, in the Black listing identified as SKU A2663114, and the UGREEN Nexode Air USB-C Charger, SKU 75813, in Space Gray. The UGREEN product here has one port. Do not carry over specifications from a similarly named three-port Nexode charger.

These are documented specifications, not measurements from our own testing. “Not verified” describes a gap in our research; it does not mean that the product lacks a specification or performs poorly.

When the Anker 715 makes sense

The 715 is a reasonable candidate if you charge one compatible device at a time and already have a suitable USB-C cable. Because no cable is bundled, you can assess the charger against the cable and length you actually plan to use.

Anker's published dimensions and weight also give you concrete figures to check against your available space. They do not establish that it is smaller or lighter than the Nexode Air: we did not verify equivalent measurements for that exact UGREEN model.

If you still need a cable, include it when comparing the complete purchase. The charger's listing alone does not describe the entire kit you will need.

When the Nexode Air makes sense

The Nexode Air is worth considering if you need both a charger and a USB-C cable. Its documented 3.3 ft cable gives you a known length to compare with the route from your outlet to your device.

That bundle is useful only if it fits your arrangement. Measure the route first. If you need a different length or already own a cable you prefer, the included cable may not change the decision much.

Check the exact listing before ordering: this comparison concerns Space Gray SKU 75813. A different Nexode name, port count or bundle is a different comparison.

When neither is the right fit

Neither charger meets a requirement for more than 65W. Neither lets you plug in a phone and laptop simultaneously, and neither has a USB-A port for a direct USB-A cable connection.

Before choosing either one, check your device manufacturer's charging requirements and the compatibility of the charger, device and cable. The shared 65W headline is not enough to establish that either product suits every laptop or phone.

If you are still working out your power requirement, start with our 65W vs. 100W guide. Return to these two models only if a compatible, single-device 65W setup meets your needs.

What we cannot call a winner on

We have not compared charging times, temperature, sustained output or long-term reliability. The evidence also does not support a smaller-or-lighter winner because verified Nexode Air measurements are missing.

We are not naming a price winner. Current prices and bundles need to be checked for the exact variants, and the Anker needs a separate cable if you do not already own one. An included cable alone does not prove that the UGREEN purchase will cost less.

Make the choice around your setup

For a compatible, single-device setup at 65W or below, start with the cable you need. The Anker 715 is a candidate when you have that cable already; the Nexode Air is a candidate when its included 3.3 ft cable fits your arrangement. Then compare the exact current listings and return terms.

Sources and research limits

Manufacturer pages and their embedded specifications were checked on October 30, 2026, for the US market. We did not independently test the products or re-check their listings as part of the October 31 editorial update. Our suggested use cases are interpretations of those documented specifications.
