Note 7 cable charger

[Halloweenoreo]

Has anyone bought any of the type c chargers from Amazon?

If so

Any issues with the cheaper ones?
Or should I spend the few extra bucks and get one from best buy or Verizon?

I wouldn't buy cheap USB-C cables as this can be an issue.

Are you looking for a C to C cable or A to C?

I bought a 6ft micro usb and just put the adapter that came with the phone it. Havent had an issue paid $5 for the cable. At one of my favorite novelty stores called 5 below. Didnt feel right spending $17 on a usb c. Which seem hard to find at local stores.
still using the fast charging block that came with the phone.

The cord that came with the note 7 is just toooooo darn short. Using it in my car.

I got a pair of cheap cables from Amazon for $8, I think I'll spend the extra money next time as they are really low quality, imo.

I found an oem wall charger for the Note 7 on Amazon for $20.00. It's hit or miss whether it's a legit item, but I got lucky I guess.

I bought these from Amazon. They have worked well, and are the most premium feeling cords I have ever owned. They were also tested and reviewed by Benson Leung from Google. I recommend them based on my experience to date.

If you search his name in the forums you will see the contribution he has made.

I bought the USB-A to USB-C cables made by Cable Matters. They are only USB 2.0 cables but I bought these for charging, not data.

I would not buy a cheap cable for this phone. That doesn't mean you have to pay and arm and a leg.

Anker and Aukey on Amazon have good prices and those should be good. Anker did have a C cable that was a problem and they have recalled it.

Ensure to look for a review by Benson for A to C cables. If he approved them then it is safe to buy. Example below of an Anker A to C cable where he gave it a 5.

I just bought the adapter so I can use all the Samsung cables I have collected over the years

Some people have reported not being able to transfer data using some adapters.

Oh, I haven't tried to transfer data with the adapters yet. Good to know though. When I need to, I'll just use the usb-c it came with I guess.

I got choetech, bought from amazon. however data transfer didn't work, only charging is ok.

I bought some A to C ones from Best Buy the day I got the phone. One was a Belkin(6 ft.), the other two were the Best Buy brand (10 ft.). Yeah, probably a little more expensive, but no issues. I didn't feel like trying not to lose the adapter or buying multiple adapters. I'm not doing any data transfer at all & I'm not using anything other than Samsung plugs (except for in the car, it's the Best Buy brand quick charge one). So far, so good....

I bought the same one. I haven't tried data transfer though.
