There's this Aukey qc 3.0 nylon braid from a preferred Chinese seller in Shopee for 250 IIRC. Cheap considering it supposedly has 18 months warranty though I doubt you can claim it. Better buy locally if you're after the warranty. Good reviews.
Read some good reviews, too, on HOCO brand. My order which costs peanuts is still in transit. No warranty though.

Nasasayangan ako pag no warranty eh. And worry ko for cheap cables is that it doesn't charge as quickly. I use the Ampere app and not all "fast charging" cables charge at the same rate.

My current Samsung cable charges at 1000+ mA. My older Samsung cable with type C adapter only charges at 500-700mA. Both are read by my phone as fast charging.

Yung cable monster iniisip ko rin if worth it ba yung tig 250-300 na cable or mag-Anker nalang ako which costs twice as much but will also last twice as long and is backed by warranty.

I've had great luck w/ Remax.

Saw some Remax cables in SM earlier. Around 400 each but only 7 days warranty.

Mine have outlasted those from Capdase. Go for the flat fast charge ones, if you should try.

Survey: What type-C cable do you use?

Thinking of buying 2 Anker cables for my car (1 for Android Auto, 1 for fast charging). They offer 18 months warranty compared to Samsung that only has 3 months warranty (and a flimsy cable) and all others that only have 7 days warranty.

Currently using my old Samsung micro-USB cables with a type C adapter but it doesn't charge as quickly as my Samsung type C cable. Dunno if it's because it's old or because the adapter doesn't allow it to draw as much power.

Reason why I'm particular about cables is because my old iPhone's board got damaged most likely because of cheap cables.

I used to find lightning cables overpriced at 1k per cable. So I used those cheap cables from Cable Monster and CDR King and the tiangges. It would charge for a few days, then suddenly won't. These are most likely not MFI certified.

Then one day, my iPhone died. Thankfully it was covered by warranty so I got a new one since it was the board that went kaput. Since then, I've never used a fake lightning cable again.

Then when I shifted to Samsung with a Note 5, not all of the cables I used supported quick charging. The cheaper ones certainly don't. So I always used original Samsung cables which were just 500 per piece and came with 1 yr warranty.

Now that I have an S8, I have to invest in a new set of chargers again. The orig Samsung USB-C cable which costs 500 is pretty decent since it charges at full speed, but warranty is only 3 months and the build quality is questionable as it's thinner than the old microUSB cables from the S7 Edge and Note 5.

Among the locally available chargers, only Anker offers an 18 month warranty which is pretty compelling for the 650-peso price tag.

I have the impression that an Anker cable would outlast all other cheap cables that don't even come with warranty.

I have 5 USB type-C cables. From my old LG V20 (flat,white cable), Anker Powerline cable, Aukey cable included when I bought a QC 3.0 USB car charger, Anker Powerline+ cable and lastly from my current OnePlus 5T. Of all the cables, my favorite is Anker Powerline+.

Since I now use OnePlus 5T, I mostly use the included cable (and charger) to use Dash Charge. This is one of the drawbacks of OnePlus as you need to use Dash Charge capable charger AND cable to use Dash Charge.

I bought 5 bavin C type cables sa shopee, sa Robinsons ₱250 each, sa shopee ₱80 lang. Fast charging as long as you are using fast charging adapter.

Ako naman nabagsak new S9+ while I was in Japan. Ayun nagkalamat sa corner. Sakit [emoji23]. Kaya mas ok pa rin yung mga jelly covers kesa sa flip flop covers.

For wall and car charger, I would recommend Tronsmart, I'm using it for 6 months na ok pa rin.

Walang warranty tong Bavin 'no? At that low a price, pwede na siguro, disposable ang dating.

Does it also work when you use it as data cable to sync to your PC?

And what's the amperage when it charges? Umaabot ba ng 1000mA like the Samsung and Anker cables? My worry is that magtitipid ako sa cable tapos mas mapapamahal ako pag prematurely nadegrade battery ko or worse, masira board ng phone ko.

with quick charge bro, phone mo ang mag manage ng pasok ng current/voltage.
you want to know why di umaabot ng 2k mA yung sa ampere bro? kasi naka ON yung screen hehehe
and yea yun bavin kaya 2kmA when i tested
try mo other measuring apps, lalabas na 2k plus ang mA measuring nya
unlike sa oneplus, pwede kahit bukas ang screen lampas 2kmA using ampere amp kasi di umiinit screen.
btw yun one plus cable, di nila pwede tipirin yung quality since di gagana yung charging technology nila kahit orig samsung cable gamitin since high amp sila talaga. kaso nga lang medyo pricey
yun bavin, yeah laway warranty lang ^_^


try ko post screenshot later pag uwi ko or sa car charger pag napagtripan ko sa parking

Here's a case wherein a type C cable tried to draw too much power from a type A legacy port and fried the laptop.

How to Buy USB Type-C Cables That Won’t Fry Your Gadgets

A poor-quality wire, however, fools the phone into thinking that it's connected to a 3-amp- capable power source. When the phone tries to draw 3 amps, it can cause permanent damage. Leung fried both the USB ports (and the host controller) on his Pixel C laptop by attaching it to an iPad charger, using a faulty cable.

Buti na lang I've never tried no name brands. Yung binibili ko yung may magandang reviews kasi except the silvertec. Sa Octagon ko yun nabili eh.
