The 3 most important USB cables every phone owner should have

Android Central says phone owners should keep three cable types handy: a fast USB-C to USB-C cable, a multi-connector universal cable, and a long USB-C to HDMI cable.

A high-spec USB-C to USB-C cable is best for fast charging and data, with Power Delivery support and speeds up to 100W or USB 3.2 Gen 2.

A universal multi-connector cable that includes USB-C, USB-A, and Lightning covers mixed-device charging and broad compatibility.

A long USB-C to HDMI cable is useful for connecting phones to external displays and features like Samsung DeX or desktop mode.
