I went through probably 8 micro USB cables on my previous 2 phones over like a 6 year period. Since I got my current phone in 2016 I'm on my second USB c cable.

I had the opposite problem. Had to get phones with wireless charging for years because the fucking ports kept dying

USB-A dude. There’s still things that ambush me with a USB-A and I immediately return it. Micro-USB too but nothing as foul as USB-A.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

USB-A just feels like a more solid connection. I've never had a USB-A connector not work because of a miniscule amount of dust buildup in a port, nor have I accidently unplugged something.

You reminded me to fit some tape in my phone's MicroUSB port, so the cable actually sits in somewhat properly. edit: I fucked it up, but it's still better.

It's fucking hilarious to me that the USB consortium ever allowed Universal Serial Bus cables to be made without the serial part (data transfer)

USB-C anything requires a minimum of 2.0 which is how Micro should have always been.

The only time i was okay with micro USBs are on Oppo phones, which developed a Super VooC charging protocol on micro-usbs that was so crazy fast that plugging in the micro-usb correctly was worth it.

oppos currently at 90w charging speed, having moved onto usb-c

They've been ahead of the curve with charging for years now.

USB-C supports 240W charging. You don't need proprietary charging standards anymore, USB-PD does everything you want
