Sup /g/ I'm looking for USB-C cables and a power adapter to charge my Samsung S24 Ultra, Steam Deck, and drone. The stock chargers are very slow, so I need to buy third-party ones. Are Ugreen cables and a Baseus adapter a good combination, or should I go the other way around?

Anker are not available here

I just got a ugreen gan charger on amazon for like 25 bucks. My anker one cost the same and has fewer ports. 65watt, charges laptop and stuff fine.

Meant to say the anker one cost twice as much. Haven't noticed a difference so far. Using anker cables but I don't think it matters as long as it big and sturdy.

I'm considering buying their 100W GaN charger . Are the cables reliable enough?

I have the 100w gan charger and also use their 3m, usb 2.0, 100w usb c cables and it all works perfectly fine. My gaming laptop only allows usb c charging while it is on only if it is at least 100w and some chargers would have problems with this but not the ugreen one. Pretty sure baseus is also fine, have only used an usb c dock from them though.

Baseus chargers and powerbanks are somewhat good, but cables are wild shit. Had 4 of them and all four broke down in the typec side (metal part left in the device). /csg/'s have eaten all the glue or smth. That never happened to any other of my cables. For cables buy any noname amazon ones for your power rating.
Also chargers might work strange sometimes, like '65w' only shows 37 in tester with one of my phones, when native one shows at least 50. So I assume it's proprietary csg 65w instead of standard one

I have both ugreen and baseus cables and ugreen is a step above baseus, the baseus cable shocks you and doesn't detect fast charge, in fact baseus is a complete pretender when it comes to quality and their revisions or second gen products are worse than the first gen ones.
Also baseus is scummy if you claim warranty and will never offer you return or replacement just store credit you can only use to buy another. I would still advise you to put in the money and seek Anker.
