Note 8 Charging Cable

[omer7]

Can anyone please tell, what type of charging/data cable we get with Galaxy Note 8 (stock charging cable)? Is it Type C USB 2.0? Coz i want to get one spare charging cable for my phone to us it in car with anker car charger. I have found one online of Tronsmart, Type C cable, USB 2.0. Will it be okay or should i go for USB type 3.0, since as per GsmArena, note 8 port supports usb type C 3.1. I only need cable for charging, not for (fast) data transfer, so will usb type C 2.0 be okay? Or should i get usb 3.0?

Thanks!

For charging, it doesn't matter. USB 2.0 or 3.0 doesn't make the phone charge faster or slower, it only affects data transfer speeds. Getting a Type-C USB 2.0 will still be compatible with fast charging, I believe.
Also, as far as I know, it's USB 3.0 cable that comes with the device, because my transfer rates are ridiculously fast over a USB 3.0 port.

Sure

Not particularly helpful. You could have refrained from posting at all.

Thanks for ur reply.

What i have heard, samsung stock charging cable is 2.0, not sure tho. Recently i have purchased tronsmart Type C cable 2.0 as a spare cable. And it is thicker than stock samsung charging/data cable (see the attached image). It also shows same charging time as stock cable.

I will use it as a spare cable for charging in car with anker QC 3.0 charger.

Thickness does not always translate to higher performance.

Yeah, but was just showing how thick it was compared to stock cable. Anyway, so far it is performing nice. I only use it with car charger (whenever needed, and i don't need to charge my phone in car on daily basis, normally i charge my phone to full in morning before leaving for office, and it easily takes me for one full day), otherwise i charge my phone with stock charger and cable.

anker powerline

anker powerline

Yes, Anker is a good brand. One of the best. But since it was costly and i only needed a spare cable to use in car (and that too not very often), so went for a cheap one, but of good quality.

Tho i have anker car charger with QC 3.0 fast charging.

more reliable than the stock cables that seem fragile.
