I broke mine on a S21. It's also getting wobbly on 2 Essential Phones.
As OP said, now those 3 expensive devices are mostly broken or at risk instead of the cheap cable. It's bad design compared to the Lightning connector, and I don't like Apple...
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoBe that as it may, the Lightning port's communications are shit and inferior to those of the ancient 30-pin iPod port. Lightning can't even deliver full HD video; the iPod port could. And what Lightning does deliver is compressed trash.

- crote 3y agoIt's not really "bad design", it's an intentional tradeoff. Doing it the Lightning way makes it significantly more difficult to guarantee good signal integrity, especially once you get into USB 3 speeds and beyond. Not to mention exposing sensitive pins to all kinds of ESD shocks!
- elzbardico 3y agoMost repair shops are able to solder a new connector in the motherboard. You could try it.
- ilyt 3y agoMy OnePlus 5T have 4 years now and connector is still fine. I suspect user error >Tt's bad design compared to the Lightning connector, and I don't like Apple... Lightning connector is significantly worse.
- oblio 3y agoIt's not. Their cables are bad but the connector is very simple to use and if abuse it the cable breaks.
- cyberax 3y agoI haven't had any problems with dozens of devices over the years. What are you doing to your phone?
- oblio 3y agoGetting unlucky? I'm probably a bit careless when plugging in but at least the Samsung failure is a disgrace. A Samsung tablet is faring better, though.
