They are long. A little long for car use. This is my first android phone and the charging cables are terrible for them. Apple has much better charging connectors/cable ends. These cables work for what they are. I bent one end of the charger but the cable still seems to be charging. The second cable has the pins gone, so the cable isn't properly connected. The third one I use a lot in my work truck. Still works like new. I babysit it and it's not hard for me. Careful, I hung up and stuff. I would recommend these cables for Android. Although Android is better to learn how to take a step forward.
