If you have recently purchased a new charger, there are chance that it might be a fake/duplicate product and many users are unaware of this. Fortunately, identifying whether your charger is genuine or fake is quite easy. You can even check the expiry date of your charger to ensure that it is safe and reliable.
Smartphone chargers: A growing concern
Nowadays, most smartphone brands do not include chargers with their devices, especially when we talk about the flagship models (besides OnePlus, Realme and a few more). This result, users are compelled to buy chargers separately, often spending a significant amount. However, distinguishing between genuine and fake chargers can be tricky.
With smartphones being essential for everyday activities like online payments, shopping, ticket bookings, and entertainment, the need for a reliable charger becomes critical. Using a high-quality, original charger is vital for the long-term health and performance of your phone.
The risks of using fake or low-quality chargers
Using a fake or low-quality charger can lead to several issues:
- Overheating problems
- Battery performance degradation
- Risk of phone explosion
If you recently purchased a charger and want to ensure that it is an authentic one, then you can easily verify it. Furthermore, you can check how long your charger is likely to last.
