Damaged my phone in cables and connections

I bought this cable as an overnight charge for my Pixel 3A XL and it has worked great for about 8 months. The tilting charging head was very convenient to use the phone while charging. Fast forward 8 months and the phone had a weird issue where it couldn't charge via PD anymore; It just kept switching between charging/non-charging states. This seems to have happened to the phone with all my PD chargers and cables including the factory charger so I determined the phone was faulty and had it replaced under warranty. So here comes the replacement phone and it works great with the factory PD charger. . Later that day I connected it to another PD charger and it works with that too. When I arrived at night I plugged it into the ugreen cord and was shocked when it started doing the horrible charge/disconnect cycle again! I immediately unplugged the cord and threw it in the trash. I used a different cable and thankfully my spare phone still charged just fine. Conclusion: The ugreen cable caused permanent damage to my original phone's charging port where it would NOT work with ANY cable. a normal phenomenon with all shortened USB versions: micro, mini, USB-C. They all have this problem. Regular USB-A is very durable, as is Apple's Lightning connector. But I'm not an Apple user and even they are gradually moving to USB-C. So I've resigned myself to replacing the cables about once a year; They're cheap enough that it's okay. But this is the first time I've come across a cable that permanently damages my charge connector pins. I would stay away

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
