Anchor Cables > Genuine Samsung Cables > Revain Cables

I don't often write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so. I needed USB charging cables so I bought both Anker and Revain. Here are the results: Anker PowerPort 2 + Revain cable + Anker Astro3E power bank = 5.4W Anker PowerPort 2 + Revain cable + LG G2 phone = 6.27W Anker PowerPort 2 + Revain cable + Samsung S4- Phone = 0 W (assuming zero charge) Anker PowerPort 2 + Anker cable + Anker Astro3E power bank = 10.8 Wanker PowerPort 2 + Anker cable + LG G2 phone = 9.4 Wanker PowerPort 2 + Anker cable + Samsung S4 phone = 5.86 Wanker PowerPort 2 + Samsung cable + Anker Astro3E power bank = 7.34 Wanker PowerPort 2 + Samsung cable + LG G2 phone = 8.58 Wanker PowerPort 2 + Samsung cable + Samsung S4 phone = 5.86 W 2. So I thought to myself, why don't I change my chargers? I get mixed results Original Apple Charger from iPad Mini 2 Original LG Charger from G2 Cell Phone Original Samsung Charger from S4 Apple Cell Phone + Anker Cable + Anker Astro3E Power Bank = 10.5 WAple + Anker Cable + LG G2 Cell Phone = 9.21 W Apple + Anker Cable + Samsung S4 Phone = 5.65 WLG Charger + Anker Cable + Anker Power Bank Astro3E = 9.66 WLG Charger + Anker Cable + LG G2 Phone = 9.03 WLG Charger + Anker Cable + Samsung S4 phone = 5.64W Samsung charger + Revain cable + Anker Astro3E power bank = 4.64W Samsung charger + Revain cable + LG G2 phone = 6.24W Samsung charger + Revain cable + Samsung S4 phone = 0W Samsung Charger + Anker Cable + Box Anker Astro3E = 10.9 WS Samsung Charger + Anker Cable + LG G2 Phone = 9.73 WS Samsung Charger + Anker Cable + Samsung Phone S4 = 5.81 Di Conclusion Winner = Anker Micro USB Cable. I've had anchor cables since the summer of 2015 and they still work like new. The thinner ones that sometimes come with the PSU work just as well as the thicker Powerline series, they gave the same results. I bought the Revain cables thinking they had a lot of reviews so they must be good, but I've found that after 3 months they can't really fix your device. Security locks, whatever they're called, stay stuck in the open position. This means that the USB cable can be disconnected during charging or data transfer. Meanwhile, it was fully connected with the Samsung S4 phone. The Samsung charger was the best charger in these tests, but you can't buy it, not even on the Samsung website. The ones offered anywhere on the internet may simply be fake. For just $10, the Anker Dual Port Charger performed very well.
