Is it possible to do so? And is the process anymore complicated than just replacing it with a new same micro usb charger? Because my micro usb charging port just kinda got loose and a little defective, so im planning to change it with a new usb c charging port instead because its much more easy to use. Can an average device repairing shop do so?

Here are some things I have learned over the years, especially since fast and super fast charging have made an appearance. I'd like to share in hopes I can help some of you out there.

• there is a significant difference in charging speeds during super fast charging vs fast charging, although I only truly see that significant difference when the phone's battery is between 0-50% (in other words, it's most useful if you consistently see your battery on the low end of charge, and you need to get it up quick).

• due to the modern design of our phones (at least to my knowledge), you cannot use too high of a wattage of a charger. The phone simply won't let it (or the cable) go past whatever the highest wattage the phone will accept - so no worries there.

• over the past few years, phone have continued to improve on charging speeds, and one large factor is an increase in wattage on what the phone will accept. In order to fully utilize the S23's fast charging, you must use a 45W charger, while the S20 only requires a 25W charger.

• it is much more important to focus on the quality of the wall charger than the cable itself; the cable simply transfers whatever the wall charger is pulling from your wall. The worst than can happen (again, from experience and research) is the cable breaking, not transferring the full wattage needed, or simply not transferring at all.

• I either usually choose to go with Samsung or Anker wall chargers, as the Anker chargers are a well known quality product that is certified to charge Android and Apple phones (if you ever needed to charge both types of phones, you wouldn't need to worry). Their cables are also Mifi Apple Certified.

• when it comes to cables, I generally find a brand that is nylon braided, with at least 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, and with at least a few hundred reviews - the more the better. I haven't had an issue since, and it has saved me big time at least in the cost department when it comes to buying cables other than Anker.

I hope this can help some of you out there, and if there's anything you want to suggest or correct me on, I'd love to hear.

I work retail and I often get people asking what kind of phone charger they need, or they ask the difference between two chargers. Most commonly, a standard usb c phone charger, smart watch charger, etc, but there's versions that have a usb a that goes into the charging block, and versions that have usb c that goes into the charging block.

A question I often get is "what's the difference" or "which is better" and my brain always freezes cuz like... I don't know. As far as I know they both do the exact same thing.

Asking this now just to have an answer prepared for next time and also because it's been bugging me for a while now. Like why do they even ask? What do they expect you to answer?

Edit: typo, usb b was supposed to be usb a
