REVIEW: The UGreen and Honkai: Star Rail collaboration is both beautiful and powerful

Published Aug 2, 2026 11:03 pm

As someone who grew up as a fan of Japanese animation, I would often sketch characters that I created in the same style. So, I was looking forward to trying out the UGreen and Honkai Star Rail collaboration. Granted, I don’t play the game, but it’s not hard to be a fan of the character style and animation. All the characters are just gorgeous.

And I was not disappointed upon receiving the box; I was surprised. It was huge, unlike the many PR boxes that I receive; this one was sturdy and well-made. They did not cheap out on the packaging materials.

 Honestly, we were not prepared for the unboxing video because of how big the box was, especially when you opened it. If you’re a fan and you are looking for that premium unboxing experience, this collaboration delivers. There’s even a peacock-like plumage that opens like a fan when you open the box. So make sure that you have your camera set up for that unboxing video.

The collaboration featured Yao Guang and included a MagFlow Air Magnetic Power Bank, Nexode Air Charger, a retractable USB-C, and the Fine Track Mini 2 smart tracker. The box also included merchandise such as a card, acrylic stand, a pin, and a pouch.
Charging up
I’ve always been impressed with UGreen as a brand; it's good to see that the quality of their products did not diminish in a collaboration.

The MagFlow Air Magnetic Power Bank is a beautiful teal blue, which makes it easy to spot in the bag. It is also thin and light, which is always a plus for me. I appreciate that there is a dedicated cord that you can neatly tuck away in the power bank itself. So you don’t lose the cord, and it doesn’t get tangled with other things in your bag. The wireless charging was also impressive. A full charge on the power bank can give two phones a boost.

The Nexode Air 65W Charger and retractable USB-C cable had beautiful designs, but still delivered fast charging. In fact, it is already the dedicated charging setup for my bedside table; I’ve been charging more items with the Nexode setup. It’s a plus that the retractable cable helps keep things organized.

Last but not least, the Fine Track Mini 2, which is also a beautiful teal blue, and I love this, by the way, since it’s a refreshing colorway from the usual black or white of AirTags. This only works with Apple’s Find My network, by the way. The speaker was loud enough to hear, even when it was in another part of the house.

Whether you’re getting the collaboration as a fan of the character (or the game) or looking at getting a themed UGreen charging lineup (with tracker), this collaboration does not disappoint. It checks the boxes for premium collectibles, an aesthetic look, and quality accessories.
