Samsung Trio 65w Phone Charger $10.92 Shipped at eBay

The one I received is just like kyang357's, from the same Seller with the same Serial Number and came shipped in that same recognizable cheap cardboard box that bends under the weight of a paper clip.

Weight is off too. Looks like these are going back. Here is the weight from the youtube video upthread:



Here are two that I bought, same seller as kyang357:

The more you look the more you find. This is the label from the youtube posted upthread:

This is the label from one of my ebay units:


If you look sharp you can see the ebay label has a wider spacing between words. What originally caught my eye was that diagonal of spaces as indicated by the red arrow. You can also see this in the scale pics. The presumably real label does not have that. And if you look the blank spacing between words is much smaller on the original.

The VIETNAM S/N spacing is also different as is the spacing around the QR label. Once you see it, you can't unsee it, it's all over the label.

The Ebay units certainly look like counterfeits.

I got them more for the utility of multiple USB outlets and styles. When it comes to charging laptops and high power I stick with name brands like Anker and usually try to get ones that use GaN technology.

For these I got 2 and stuck them on the backups for my servers. Then if I need to power a USB monitor or NanoKVM's or other USB powered accessories I have some free outlets available. My expectations were low, so I am ok with it.

Same here. I don't have any that have two USB-C ports...

I mean mine showed up today, and yeah the box is completely suspect with the exact same serials as above, and the hologram sticker that says "Original" is a dead giveaway... but that said, I plugged my phone in and it negotiated super fast charging 2.0 and it seems to be doing it. So how much should, not that I really want to use that for my phone, care that it's counterfeit if it does what it advertises? It's not like the plethora of 12-15W chargers I have sitting around "top tier" brands.

A bad charger or a charger going bad can blow up the devices connected. Especially with USB-C.

Mine will arrive soon, we'll see.

Will assume mine is counterfeit but still surprised the one port charges a 65w capable phone so fast. Maybe 25w charges that phone faster than i thought it would?

And as i said, my charger barely warms up at all, hopefully that's a good sign.

I won't purchase any more of them though thanks to everyone's due dilligence here!

Find it odd they they go through the trouble that they put unique, at least based on what I've seen here, serial numbers on the chargers themselves but then go cheap with identical stickers on the boxes. Perhaps they're remaking the African market ones into US chargers?

The charge will get slower as the battery gets closer to full. You will see the biggest impact from 45w-65w charging when you are starting with a battery that is nearly empty. If your battery already has a partial charge, it might not actually need more than 25w.

This is an example of what 45W "Super Fast Charging 2.0" (Samsung) looks like from 0% to 100% (using a real charger).

I have nothing to add other than the fact that i read this entire thread with 0 intention of buying anyway eager to know if they are fakes or real.
