How to choose a phone charger and cable
Illustrative image

A matching connector is only the start. Compare the phone, charger and cable specifications before ordering.

Connector and compatibility

Check the phone documentation for its port and supported charging standards. Compare these with the charger output and both cable connectors. A connector that fits does not guarantee support for every function.

Charger power: what to check

Choose an output and charging protocol compatible with your device. A higher advertised wattage alone does not guarantee faster charging. Check the specifications of your phone and the exact charger model. For a car charger, check its input requirements too.

Choosing a charging cable

Check both connectors and the cable’s stated power capability. For file transfers, check its data specifications separately. Measure the length you need and allow enough movement without leaving unnecessary cable to tangle.

Before placing an order

Write down the phone model, port and intended use. Check what the package includes and whether the cable is sold separately. Compare the specifications in the Voltensa catalogue. If compatibility is unclear, ask about the exact model before ordering.
