Ordered a set of rechargeable AA batteries and charger. They’re well reviewed and a decent brand. Specifically wanted the charger since it has USB input rather than 120v so I could top the batteries off from my laptop / power bank as they’ll be used for my wireless KB/mouse. The product description only said “USB input” and didn’t specify what flavor. Being 2025, you expect USB-C.
Received them today, and they use micro USB input. Now I have to keep yet another cable in my bag. Day mildly ruined.
My Pixel is going strong for 4 years and the USB-C port works like on day one. Comparing that to my old Samsung J7 which I also had for 4 years, that port struggled 3 years in. I think most of my microUSB devices had worn out ports after a year or two of charging.
Huh my Pixel 7 no longer holds a cable at all and it’s not due to lint. I’m far from the only one too. I see folks complain about the port on them all the time.
Strange. I have a 4a 5G model. Had some issues with lint 2 or 3 times, but everything else is fine. Might be just manufacturers skimming on quality as usual.
My pixel was the USB-C phone that I was referencing above 🙈
I’m glad it works for at least some folks :)
