Accessory maker Bull has launched a new charger in China. This power adapter is one of its kind as it supports UFCS charging standard. It also uses gallium nitride (GaN) and offers two output ports. Let’s check out its features in detail. The new Bull charger bears model number GNV-A1652U. It is an upgraded version of the existing GNV-A1652U.
The latest model arrives with one key
upgrade. It supports China’s homegrown UFCS charging standard. For the unaware,
UFCS stands for Universal Fast Charging Standard. It was announced in September
2022 and the first smartphone to support this protocol was Oppo Reno 9 All
Things Red.
A year has passed, however, only a few
chargers support this standard. The same can be said for phones. Anyway, coming back to the Bull power adapter,
it can output up to 65W. It sports USB Type-C and USB Type-A ports.
The Type-A port is limited to 18W output.
Also, when both ports are used, the Type-C’s output drops to 45W. Apart from
UFCS, the charger supports other leading protocols as well. It supports USB PD
(Power Delivery), Qualcomm QC (Quick Charge), Samsung AFC (Adaptive Fast
Charging), Huawei FCP (HiSilicon Fast Charging Protocol), and Apple2.4.
The adapter arrives in a single gray color
option. It carries an introductory price tag of ¥ 118 (US$ 16). We don’t think
this Bull charger will be released in global markets. Thus, interested
consumers will have to import it.
