I have received, as expected, an original packaging of Samsung, as I know you also from local dealer ago. The package was sealed by a transparent adhesive tape and thus unopened. So everything okay.
Enclosed my keyword-like review:
+ Positive
~ Neutral (not necessarily because generally negative)
- Negative
+ Charging cable consists of two separate parts, USB / microUSB cable and the actual car charger adapter. This saves quasi money, once a part should go broke
+ Processed purely optical sees all in black quite good, also looks discreet and certainly not cheap and so far also clean
+ USB / microUSB cable is far longer than the current Samsung smartphones enclosed charging cable, too short, it will be in no car (estimated 1-1.5 meters)
+ With around EUR 11,00 an attractive price, not even no-name products are really expensive
~ I would have liked it better if the cable would be curled (coiled cord), by executing a normal, elongated cable the cable can be when not in use not as nice stow in the car and simply needs more space
~ For my personal design in the car, the USB / microUSB cable is much too long, which simply looks not as nice in operation and may well also interfere when switching
~ The charger does not light that shows the charging status
- The charging cable has only a charge current in the extent of 0.7 amps: my smartphone needs with the original home network part (2A) for 1.5 hours fully charged. With this car charger, however, my unit was 1-hour drive loaded only 35%! When using the GPS-based navigation in the smartphone battery level after driving was significantly lower than estimated before departure - despite plugged-charging cable and the charge level of 69% dropped to 59% (!)
My rating of 3 stars arises (hopefully understandable) from the fact that while the charger is charging, but in my case much too weak. I use moreover a Samsung Note. 2
Conclusion: Highly recommended for current smartphones anyway under certain conditions, the device is really loaded only in standby mode and in the end only very slowly. For units of the older generation in any case a strong buy recommendation - to the price of an original article you can not go wrong here!
I hope I could help you with this review a bit in your purchasing decision.
