Mains phone chargers
Discussion
Any recommendations for a mains charger for a Samsung ?
Something that doesn't fracture the cable at the port end , I seem to go through them every couple of months .
I did see something a few months ago about one made to specifically overcome this problem but my Google foo is not working in this subject .

I suspect you are talking about a Samsung phone, but depending on the age that could be micro USB or USB c
I think no matter what you get if you are heavy handed. The cable wares out in a matter of months if. If it supports it maybe consider a wireless charger because they avoid a lot of issues.

My recommendation would be to get an anker charger and cable. Their warranty is no quibble and the products are great quality in the first place.
That said, people tend to be barbarians with their charging cables, wrapping them tightly and wondering why they break. Buy good quality and coil them lightly, and they will last a long time.

I have used Anker, Jaccent and Amazon Basics braided cables and all have been fine. By default I tend not to use the cheapest product in the market.
I have a RavPower Multi port USB2 charger from Amazon;. Had it about a year and works very well. One under my desk now is a Beikell from Amazon. Four port and does the job for my various gadgets as well as the phones of various people in my department

I've used the various options mentioned above over the last couple of years, all of them have worn to the point that charging becomes a pain in the arse. I don't particularly thrash them. They also invariable lose the ability to trigger quick charging on the phone, to the point I ended up ordering 4 Genuine Samsung Quick Chargers and genuine cables.
But then I decided to try a £7 wireless charger pad, those have been revolutionary. I have them setup at my desk, by the bed, in the kitchen and at work, they work perfectly, no issues with cables and the like and my phone ends up having more battery in it when I am out of the house because it's so easy to keep it charged.
