So I bought a Samsung A14 a while back cause I lost my old phone and I saw it didn’t came with the brick to charge, kinda odd to me. Then I realized it had a TYPE C ON BOTH SIDES of the cable. Why do they even call this cable a USB??
So I said “I’ll just use my own type C cable that I’ve been using” that actually has a USB side so I don’t have to buy yet another article to charge my phone… well no.
The phone tells me I can’t use another cable cause it is not “verified or official” from samsung and if I insisted it will charge on “slow mode” 20hrs to fully charge. This gave me a lot of problems every time I had to charge cause I had to put the cable on a specific way for it to charge normally.
I tried to look up why doesn’t it come with a charging brick, what I found? They didn’t wanted to PRESSURE the consumer into buying a new phone for the charger(?? makes no sense) and to “reduce the e-waste and environmental impact” I mean I could just use my cable and the brick that I already own.
So I have this cable and brick now that I can’t use and will have to dispose of cause they gave me another one that I can’t use unless I buy a specific Type c charging brick… great. why not just, idk
LET US USE A NORMAL USB CABLE??? instead of locking the phone charging cause is not specifically the one you gave in the box.
