So I bought a Samsung A14 a while back cause I lost my old phone and I saw it didn’t came with the brick to charge, kinda odd to me. Then I realized it had a TYPE C ON BOTH SIDES of the cable. Why do they even call this cable a USB??

So I said “I’ll just use my own type C cable that I’ve been using” that actually has a USB side so I don’t have to buy yet another article to charge my phone… well no.
The phone tells me I can’t use another cable cause it is not “verified or official” from samsung and if I insisted it will charge on “slow mode” 20hrs to fully charge. This gave me a lot of problems every time I had to charge cause I had to put the cable on a specific way for it to charge normally.

I tried to look up why doesn’t it come with a charging brick, what I found? They didn’t wanted to PRESSURE the consumer into buying a new phone for the charger(?? makes no sense) and to “reduce the e-waste and environmental impact” I mean I could just use my cable and the brick that I already own.
So I have this cable and brick now that I can’t use and will have to dispose of cause they gave me another one that I can’t use unless I buy a specific Type c charging brick… great. why not just, idk
LET US USE A NORMAL USB CABLE??? instead of locking the phone charging cause is not specifically the one you gave in the box.

    Could it be that the cable is damaged (or the brick) and that’s why it’s charging so slow and telling you to use another cable for it? I know that happened to me before, I was using a really slow brick and it gave me a really long time too
