Sony will rarely be disappointed. Personally this has never happened to me ... at least not yet. This charger is no exception to the rule is compact, handy and especially so recharging my Xperia S in record time. Only downside it tends to heat a bit but maybe is it planned? Delivered without packaging, it is nevertheless a new product and origin. The shipment is a bit long but the price gap with this reference proposed by Sony justifies to wait a few days.
