Is this charger safe for the Note 7?

It's very long so it's like an extension cord. Amazon sells it.

Is it approved by Benson Leung?

I've reviewed this cord, and I'm sure that under normal circumstances, it would be safe for most phones. But these are far from normal times.

I can appreciate that comment. It actually made me laugh.

I'd be wary of ANY cord that isnt Samsung fast-charge approved, or even any 3rd party cord period. There's took many variables with these exploding battery issues.

It's ridiculous how these charging cables get shorter and shorter. You can't do nothing without hugging the wall with the note7 charger.

I use that cable and haven't had any issues. And it's super long. It's my office charging cable until I get my wireless charging stand.

I have the iOrange 10' cable and it works fine. I also have Aukey and Anker various lengths that have been fine. I've been using a Volador 6 port charger with 2 fast charging ports in the house and Aukey in my vehicles and my phone charges from 30 percent to full under an hour and doesn't get warm.

My phone was made in China, not sure if that matters, but I kept an eye on it when it was charging since I got it on the 19th so I feel confident in using the accessories that I bought for this phone and my wife's Note 5.

At this point, I wouldn't use a none Samsung branded charger or cable until this battery situation is under control...use common sense with your phone right now and take the necessary precautions....wait till you get your replAcement device at least

I agree. Don't take the risk .

I agree. It is not a good thing to use a sub-par USB-C cable. See the following link and I'd recommend following him on Google+ for aftermarket cable advice. The experts have shown that using the wrong USB-C cable can fry your device.

You can use any cable you want. Just take the necessary precautions:

Think you should stick with the Samsung charging cord until you get the phone replace.
