USB C Cables.

[Jeremiah Bonds]

Has anyone purchased any extra cables?

This is my first type C compatible device so I have no extras lying around. Now my wife has a G5 too and we will definitely need some extras. Haha

I bought this one for my G5 and now use it for my V20. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5537186

Benson Leung recommended it, who I guess is the guru of cables. I went with the 6 foot length.

I'm likely going to stick with the Volutz brand. I've always had great luck with their micro-USB cables. Their USB C cables have an extruded metal tip, not stamped metal (I saw an article saying they are more durable, and you can tell by the lack of a seam in the metal).

They are not USB 3 data speed complaint, but that doesn't bother me.

If you need a 6.6 foot cable, this one is Benson approved also.

Have we confirmed the included V20 charger is Quickcharge 3.0? I remember the G5 included 2.0 chargers, even though it was a 3.0 phone.

I ended up buying this 3.0 charger which works well, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5537267

I owned the 6P when it was released and Benson Leung was the gospel word in all that was cables. I trust his recommendations. Fortunately, I had the 6P, HTC10, Note7 and now the V20 so I have accumulated a lot of chargers and cables now.

These I bought on recommendation from a website recommending accessories for the Note 7. Two months later, the cables are peeling and the wires are visible and will tear off any day now.

Weird. I bought that one about 7 months ago for my Pixel C and no issues at all.

Re: Longer charging cord

Aukey is the brand. Sorry about the auto correct. Anyways, if you pick up the Aukey brand I know you will never buy any other. They have some fantastic braided cables too. I believe the sell 3 packs too for the price of what most sell one for.


One example. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5540538

I'm using a 6' braided cord from Cambound that I purchased from Amazon for $10.99. It's excellent! Solid build and has a 12-month warranty. Works great!

Re: Longer charging cord

I'm using this "iOrange-E" brand 6.6 Ft Braided USB type C Cable. It's USB C to USB 3.0 so if I hook it to my computer the data transfer speeds are fast, and the cable feels premium and well made. Heck the color of the connectors even happens to match my titan color V20.

Re: Longer charging cord

Can anyone suggest any brands that have an extruded metal tip? I think Volutz does, but haven't seen a longer cable from them yet. Most have a stamped metal tip, which you can tell by the seam like this Belkin cable.

Re: Longer charging cord

I would think the longer u go the less it charges fast since the power has to travel farther unless they increased the size of the wire whoa i over thought that lol
