Hi all. My friend needs a replacement charger for her Samsung phone as her puppy has chewed through the old one and she urgently needs to use the phone for a family emergency. I don’t know anything about Samsung phones so I need a bit of help.

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Wellington where I could get one of these today? I looked at the specs online and it sounds like this phone has a USB-C port. Does that mean that any charger with a USB-C connection would work?

Yes anything should be fine, although best get something of decent quality. The charger doesn't need to have a USB-C port (the original Samsung didn't) so a good USB-A to USB-C cable and any USB charger will work fine.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Thanks both. I just bought a USB-A to USB-C cable and told her to plug the USB-A end into a computer or anything else that can deliver power.

 

It was easier than I thought - I was worried that I would be driving all over town looking for a charger specific to that model of phone!
