Is charging a phone using a charger from another brand safe ?

[Coulous]

Hello,

 

Basically, the title is my question. I'm looking forward to buy a S21+, but since they don't provide chargers anymore, I was wondering if I could still use my old SONY charger/cable to charge it, or if I had to buy a charger too.

 

Thank you.

Yes its fine. Just make sure the cable is also a good quality one and you should have no issues

No it's the charger that came with my previous phone.

 

So basically I would only have longer charging times but no other issues then ?

Yup, I wouldn't worry about it. I have been using a Samsung charger for my Xiaomi CC9 Pro and have had no issues at all. I have been using the Xiaomi charger on another phone, again with no problems.

Find an image of the official S21 charger and compare it's rating. I just looked at my old Samsung charger and it is rated at 9.0V 1.67A or 5.0V 2.0A make sure the ampage of the one you plan to use is equal or greater.

 

Personally i don't look everyone in the house has different brands and I use which ever charge is closest.

Brand doesn't matter, charger specs do.

Yes its ok. Phones are smart today (maybe we should call them something like intelegentphones or something like that so people would know they are smart) and have around 3-5 chips to handle charging the right and best way for your battery (sort of) and most chargers have chips in them digsined to talk with your intelegentphone and know the amount of power to draw and when to stop. 
The charger and cable a company will provide will always work the best because they were made for each other but other chargers will do 95% of what the "original" charger would do. (There are some ecxeption like the 65W charging and 2-4% effiecency lost but its not a big deal. the 65W is actually a big deal but the other thing isnt)
