It’s been a while since I’ve posted a review here because I’ve been rather busy, so without further ado here’s a short simple review of some new(er) products I was sent.

Choetech USB A-C “flat” TPE cable 2-Pack (Black/white)

I was looking for a cable to replace the fabled OnePlus A-C cables that were out of spec thus were returned last year; Choetech sent me these, and to say the least I was excited.

First, let’s talk about the design at hand. Each cable features a nice aluminum end on both sides with Choetech branding giving it quality (premium is overused) feel alongside the flat region housing the wire. The metal ends will show wear faster than plastic because metal scratches, and I’m fine with that. I appreciate the longer length (1.2[m] i.e. 4[ft]) giving you more flexibility for their intended usage. I’ve used the black cable quite a bit since first receiving it, so I will post a few pictures showing how it wears overtime down below. The flat region of the cable has a nice feel to it coupled with the solid connections where the metal meets the TPE. I don’t feel like these will pull apart, or break anytime soon, so I’m happy with their build. Each cable also has the proper 56k [ohm-m] resistor for the Nexus 6P as it should at this point in the game.

Overall

Now, if I had to be picky there is one small issue I experience (rather it’s how the cable is made). Each cable doesn’t have a perfectly flat, uniform, or even area where the TPE (flat area) meets the metal; I’m a little OCD about these things. With that being said there is no issue with the cable’s functionality since that is merely a cosmetic nitpick that I personally have. In the end I would happily buy these cables as a gift, or another lot for myself given how much I’ve been using them.

Choetech 33W USB-C & QC 3.0 Type-A Enabled Car Charger

I own many car chargers, but as of lately I don’t use them because my new car has Android Auto. I recently decided to keep this particular one in my car because sometimes my wife wants to charge her phone, or I just need to have a secondary charging solution for my other phones (Note 7 and S7 Edge). Choetech did something I appreciate here: there is a proper dedicated USB-C port for the Nexus 6P/5X that will output only 5V/3A as it should. The other port is a dedicated QC 3.0 output for all of your other phones like in my case the two Samsung phones.

Build

On the build side you will find a typical glossy plastic body with a matte black back featuring Choetech’s logo, and the ports. There is a blue light that let’s you know when you’re charging, or when the charger is plugged into your car correctly. The included cable is also quite nice, and will give your Nexus 6P 1.5A from the QC 3.0 legacy port, but if you want to rapidly charge the phone, then you will need a USB C-C cable.

Ports:

USB-C: 5V 3A

QC 3.0: 3.6-5.5V 2.4A (max)

5.6-9V 2A (max)

9.1-12V 1.5A (max)

In the box:

Choetech 33W Dual port car charger (USB-C and QC 3.0)

USB A-C cable

Overall:

I keep this charger in my center console as a backup, I just wish it also came with a USB C-C cable for when I want to rapidly charge my Nexus 6P. I own a ton of C-C cables, but not everyone does, so for that reason I hope Choetech includes both cables in the future even if it means adding a few $$ to the price because everyone will benefit from that.
