Review on Samsung OEM Universal 2.0 Amp Micro Home Travel Charger - White: Optimized for Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/Note 2, Non-Retail Packaging by Jill Bennett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Potentially Dangerous Counterfeits

I agree with other reviews here that these are NOT Samsung OEM chargers. Looks like Chinese fakes. I have several original Samsung chargers purchased between 2007 and 2013. ALL are rated by UL Underwriter's Laboratories. There are no fakes. Without this label to prove their electrical integrity, the quality of these obviously counterfeit chargers is unknown. Another note: I bought two new Samsung Galaxy S4 phones a few weeks ago. Your chargers have unique serial numbers. I am buying four of these apparently counterfeit chargers from Revain and all four have the SAME serial number! Obviously it's not S/N if all four are the same. Exactly the same label is attached to each charger. The cable that comes with an original Samsung charger is long and durable. The cables that come with these chargers are short and flimsy, which means they're cheap. Apparently the fake chargers work but they don't charge my phone as fast as the genuine Samsung chargers and these obviously fake chargers also get a bit warm while charging. Without passing UL testing, I assume these chargers can overheat and potentially damage my new phones. It's not worth the risk.
