It seems like OEMs are becoming brave enough to stop bundling a USB charging cable in their phone’s packaging.

    and 99% of the use of the cable for most phones is charging… which pretty much any crap cable will do just fine, and fast

    and the remaining cables… who is really using weird special modes on cables for their phone?

      Using any old cable my phone takes approximately 4 to 5 hours to charge. Using the cable that came with it the phone takes approximately 25 minutes to charge. Literally everyone with fast charging needs the specified cable to get those speeds. Most phones these days support fast charging. So most people use special cables. Now, a lot probably aren’t aware that there’s a difference, hence all these comments, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a difference.
