If you’ve bought a new Android device in the past six months, chances are pretty good that it charges via USB Type-C. There are some nice advantages to the new charging standard (that I wish was more standardized) but there is also one fairly large disadvantage. USB Type-C cords cost a lot more than their MicroUSB brethren.
That is, if you pay the full price for them. If you pick them up on sale, prices are a bit more tolerable.
[Deal Alert] Choetech and Tronsmart both have two packs of USB Type-A to Type-C cables on sale for $7.50 or less ($5-7 off) was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
