Question

faulty charger new s26

Hello
I am currently using the new phone but the charging cable is not working properly for quite a few days . It starts with fast charging and within a second switches to really slow charging. Charger and phone both are new, this is very annoying.
Is there any way to exchange the new charging cable? 
Please help me sort it out it is taking ages to charge my phone.
 
Kind regards
Aliya Fatima

    Hi ​@Haniya ,

     

    I’m sorry to hear that the charging cable you received with your phone is not working.

    If the phone was purchased within the last 12 months, we recommend visiting your nearest Currys store so the team can inspect the cable for you. If a replacement is required, their technical team will be able to assist further and advise on the next steps.

     

    Thanks

    HI ​@Kayleigh2412,

     

    I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with the charger cable and charging your phone.

     

    As you've already tried a different charger and are still experiencing slow charging, we'd recommend contacting the device manufacturer directly for further support. They'll be able to troubleshoot the issue and advise whether the charger, cable, or handset may be faulty and covered under warranty.

    Hi ​@Kayleigh2412,

     

    Thanks for confirming that.

     

    If the charger you received with the phone isn't working properly, but the phone charges normally with your husband's charger, this suggests the issue may be with the charger or cable rather than the handset itself.

     

    Unfortunately, we're unable to arrange replacement chargers through this platform. We'd recommend contacting our Live Chat team, who can review the situation and advise on the options available.
