Samsung Phone Taking Too Long To Charge

Too soon to tell how long the charge will last. I only used it for a short while.

I use this usb to charge my samsung android phone.

When I bought this I had only moderate expectations. The reviews here are good but the reviews on that other website "where everybody buys stuff" were not so good. Stories about instability and lack of compatibility abound. So I was pleasantly surprised when I started to use this. It paired immediately with my Samsung galaxy note 20. The app installed without incident via a QR code. As soon as the gimbal paired attached it offered to update its own firmware, which completed without any issues. I have had absolutely no problems with the gimbal crashing, or the app crashing, or the video recorder stopping. It has all being stable as can be. The only complaint is a minor one and it has to do with charging the battery. The lower port is used for charging. Even though it is a USB-C port it is not USB-C PD capable. This means you need to use a charger with a USB-A port, and a USB A to USB-C charge cable. if you try to use a USB-C PD charger, the device will not charge. While this is only a minor issue it should be mentioned in the documentation and it is not. I was able to determine that the device will charge at 10W. The gimbal works extremely well. It is very stable, and the video quality is much better than what I was getting out of the phone previously. It has no problem handling my Samsung note 20 ultra which is a very large and heavy phone. The big upside with this model compared with its obvious competitors (ie, DJI OM4) is that it has 3.5mm ports for an external microphone. The model I bought from B&H included the Saramonic smartmic. My phone does not have a microphone jack so I purchased an analog to USB-C adapter for $13. The result is much better audio than I was able to capture with the smart phone alone. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

I recharged a note 8 a note 10 plus and another regular samsung phone with one charge. The three of them were lower than 15%. I love that it comes with the micro USB and the USB C cables.

The charge port on my Samsung phone got broken. Wanted to wait and get a 5G phone later this year. Bought a cheap eBay charger that broke after 1 week. I picked up this charger at B&H and it has worked everyday for the past 3 weeks. I had to widen the area a little to fit my extra wide battery, but that was simple. Don't waste your time and money on those cheap charges. This one is is worth the extra$8. As a bonus it also charges other batteries.

I wasn't sure with all the different items to charge how this would handle the load. It is great. iPad Pro, Samsung phone, little tablet and other things were no problem and quick.

The only thing that will charge my phone.

Seems very well made. Too early to tell how it will work in the long run.

Long Life Product. Great Price TOO!

It's convenient to use and reasonably priced. Too soon to say the long-term effectiveness.
