So I bought a Nexus 5 a few months ago but it was imported from the UK with a UK charger with an adapter. A couple of days ago I saw a supposibly genuine LG chager, so I decided to buy it.
The build quality seems to be really close (if not the same) as the UK one, and it came wrapped in nice plastic much how the UK one was.
However, I've seen a lot of info about fake chargers so I thought I could ask here if this is legit or not. I believe this specifically is not from a Nexus 5 (probably LG G2?). The model listed is MCS-04BR. I attached a picture of the back info of the adapter (EU plug).
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Mine looks exactly like that one. Bought from Amazon (US).
Model is MCS-01ER and charge speed is 1.2A. Manufacturer is the same.

This one says 1.8A though, which I kind'a find interesting.
You bought the phone from Amazon or just a charger? (I'm interested in information from people that have out-the-box EU charger)

Only go for an ebay listing which clearly states CC-C200 as the model number.
Mobile phones direct (google it). I had it as a gift with my desire.
Apparently fake chargers won't charge the phone if e.g using it as say nav. Mine is fine and can't moan about it. I think price is about 14 quid

or the C300 if you want dual USB slots so you can charge 2 phones at once.
PS. the C200 (with a miniUSB cable) also comes as standard on the HTC Cruise 2009 version.

I'm in real need of a car charger for my S5. Does anyone know where I should buy one? Or what brand to look for? Thanks!
I almost always check on Amazon first. And boom, solution. Go for the one with the fewest negative reviews. I choose plemo for its reasonable price and so far has no complaints.

I am using maxboost car charger which I bought from amazon. This is by far one of the best chargers I ve had. Very compact and powerful.
A handful negative reviews said 2.4A port does not work with S5, but mine seems to be an updated version with so called smart port, both charges S5 fine. Currently, black color is out, and white one still available.
It can be found from here: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Port-Maxboost-4-4A-Charger/dp/B00ISGCAJM/
I also recommend the brand plemo. I bought it on Amazon and have been using it for about four months now. Really chuffed about it. Charges my S5 really fast (definitely faster than the stock charger). Also charges my other devices including the Canon camera and the GPS.
ive got a belkin usb port and it works fine on uk gs5
Looking for a replacement for the OEM charger. I looked on amazon but the reviews are mixed...some say its a knockoff that ruins the phone while others say its genuine and works 100%....can anyone back up this?

I had the same problem before and went for one off the amazon market place from a seller Crazy Bee. Sorry i cant post links as I'm not at 10 posts yet but it is a genuine charger if that helps.
Well I want one just like the original with 3.0 USB and fast charge. The amazon reviews seem to say they are original while others say they are not...So wondering if anyone got one that is just like original?
This is the one i ordered and believe to be genuine from the quality, one thing i don't understand is i couldn't find a charger exactly the same as my original with the usb outlet coming from the bottom of the charger. It seems samsung make several "travel chargers" which all have the usb coming from the top or side:

hey, i am looking fo a charger OEM, since i have forgot mine in the hotel
so what is really concerning is that i have found a seller on ebay is selling OEM charger for $17!!!
i am asking if this can be true since in my opinion Aliexpress is more trusted than ebay " at least i can see the feedbacks"
This One
And this one
and what is your openion on this
SONEic - USB Type-C AMAZON
I know Amazon is safer since they have banned all uncertified type C cables....
Basically every charger is made in China and since Huawei is a chinese company and these ebay sellers are from China, it wouldn't surprise me that these chargers on eBay are legit although in my experience I would advise caution . As for the charger you have linked on Amazon, I haven't tried that one but I bought this one and haven't had any issues so far.

To be brutally honest with you, and this may seem a bit elitist and privileged to some, but I wouldn't trust my $600 phone with anything but an original charger or one bought directly from Google, and not Huawei, not ebay or amazon, and this goes for both chargers and cables.

Considering Google only makes 2 mediocre chargers (dual port 22W, and tethered 15W) I would rather get a 3rd party one. I have the Google dual port type C charger, but I also have ones from Choetech and Tronsmart that all work just as well as my OEM charger. I rarely use my OEM, in fact it's been in my drawer of chargers for a while now because other companies made better more versatile chargers. OEM chargers don't always use the best circuitry to control voltages, current etc, but with 3rd party chargers they have incentive to make better charges due to the intense competition. I witnesses this with my HTC 10 stock charger and Samsung one from my S7 Edge; OEM isn't always the best to say the least.
I've been very happy with the BlitzWolf charger

The thing is google store isnt available in my country and there is no work around, although I have a us shipping address :/
I'm using a Choetech charging station that's reasonably priced (slightly higher than what your looking at) and I've got to say it charges in very similar times to the original OEM charger, it also has the added benefit of being able to charge my smart watch and tablet at the same time too. Perfect for people who don't want chargers plugged in all over the place.
Here's a link:

Hope this helps.
