Stuffcool Launches 65W GaN Charger with Retractable Cable

The Zeno 65W GaN charger from Stuffcool is a remarkable entry into the realm of charging technology, especially for individuals who prioritize convenience and efficiency. This charger is notable for its retractable cable feature, which removes the necessity of carrying extra cables, rendering it an excellent travel companion. The retractable cable design is on the rise, with brands such as Baseus and UGREEN at the forefront, and Stuffcool has adeptly embraced this trend with the Zeno 65W.

Offered at ₹2,899 on Amazon, the Zeno 65W charger has undergone thorough testing over a three-month timeline, showcasing its reliability and effectiveness. While it is somewhat larger than standard GaN chargers due to the housing for the retractable cable, it is still compact enough for travel needs. The charger includes an Indian plug and a built-in cable that has four preset lengths, providing adaptability in different environments, such as bedside tables or hotel accommodations.

The Zeno 65W is compatible with the USB PD 3.0 protocol, capable of delivering up to 65W of power, making it ideal for charging a variety of devices, including the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Vivo X300 Ultra, and Find X9 Pro. Additionally, it features a secondary USB-C port, enabling users to charge two devices at once. When the built-in cable and USB-C port are simultaneously utilized, the power is allocated as 45W to the cable and 20W to the port, which is adequate for overnight charging.

The build quality of the Zeno 65W is impressive, constructed with a sturdy plastic casing that has endured extensive usage, including travel. Although it does not have the metal casing found in some rivals like UGREEN’s Nexode Pro chargers, it remains a strong and dependable choice. In summary, the Zeno 65W GaN charger is a practical and efficient option for those in search of a multifunctional charging device featuring the added convenience of a retractable cable.
