REVIEW: Super-Convenient, super-Back-up Charger Option -- 10 in 1 multi Charger Cable from Temu
By The Treasure-Sharer
I thought that the 10 in 1 universal charger that I spotted on Temu would definitely come in handy, and felt like a fantastic deal, so I bought one to give it a try, choosing the yellow option because it was the cheapest one available, at the time.
See above for an image of the yellow version of the ten in one multi charger cable for multiple devices that I bought, taken from its Temu product page.
It really felt like a steal-of-a-deal to be getting a charger that could charge so many different devices for such a low price. See the images below to see some of the features of the ten in one multi charger device, including its different ports, the bendability of its cables, and the total length of the charger.
I thought that, even if I didn't have a use for some of its 10 different connectors at the moment, that there could come a time when I might need to use them in the future, so it felt like a good idea to have a 10 in 1 universal charger as a back-up charger that would work for multiple devices.
Especially if you're prone to damaging or losing your chargers, and use your devices and chargers daily, it can ensure that you don't have to scramble to find an alternative or have to go without using your devices for a while, while you go find a replacement.
And even if you have all the chargers for your devices in good working condition, if you use a lot of different devices daily, it can be a bit of a hassle to have to keep track of so many different chargers and take them out and put them away, have to unwind and rewind their cables, and have them take up so many different ports, or have to organize and plug in so many. Using the multi charger to charge your devices instead makes the process much simpler and easier, and more convenient.
After trying out the 10 in 1 universal charger that I had bought and seeing that it seemed to work, I bought a set of three multicharger cables in black for a better deal, so that I could give one to the Adventurer and keep one for myself, since the deal let me get three for almost the price of two.
See below to see an image of the three black 10 in 1 multi chargers that I bought, taken from their Temu product page:
I had intended to return the first one that I had bought, but just ended up keeping it, because I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of returning it. I figured that I could probably find a use for it, or give it to someone else, later.
As more images taken from the Temu product page below indicate, the 10 in 1 phone charger is made of ABS material, with a metal shell interface. Its charging speed may be limited by the adapter/cable, or the terminal devices. As you can see from the last photo, it can charge a wide variety of phones, including LGs, Motorolas, Androids, Samsungs, and more.
I recently damaged the charging cable for an old Samsung phone to the point that it no longer worked at all, and was so thankful to have had one of the micro USB ports of the 10 in 1 multi charger charge it to 100% relatively quickly. I was happy to have something so versatile that I could reach for, and it totally saved the day, as I had been worried about what to do once my charger stopped working completely, since it had been on its last legs for some time.
I had been using the old phone to play music while I was sleeping, and also serve as an alarm to wake me up, and sometimes forgot to charge it ahead of time, and so sometimes had to charge it while I was sleeping while using it, which resulted in the cable connected to the charger becoming heavily damaged over time, due to me moving while sleeping, which resulted in the cable breaking down at various sections over time -- such that I had to start positioning my phone in very particular ways for the charging to work -- and eventually becoming damaged to the point of it no longer working. Thankfully, I was able to use my 10 in 1 multi charger the day that my phone's charger stopped working completely, and was able to continue to charge and use my phone with no delay, thanks to having the usb multi charger as a back-up charger suitable for charging many different types of devices.
If you're someone like me who prefers to use devices for as long as they continue to work, have old devices that you still use but have lost or damaged the chargers for, have multiple devices and don't want to carry so many chargers around with you, or want an emergency charger to keep handy that will work for many devices, then the ten in one multi charger device is a super-solution, and is worth purchasing multiples of to give away to family members and friends, or to put in multiple places, like different rooms, or in your office or vehicle.
As a product image from the pack of three black 10 in 1 charger cables that I bought showed, they can be used with a variety of electronic equipment, including connectors for Micro USB, Type-C USB, Samsung 1900, DC5521, Nokia N90, Nokia 8250, PSP, Micro USB, Motorola V3, and iPod.
As some people who have bought and reviewed the item on Temu said, it's missing the ability to charge iPhones, but is good for most devices. I like it for its rarer connectors, since many other multicharger cables that you can buy on Temu can charge iPhones, and replacements for those can be easily bought, while many of the options available on this usb multi charger are much more difficult to find.
The other gripe that I saw that other reviewers had was that the cable was too short. I actually do feel that that is the case, as it is shorter than a charger made for one device would be, and is a lot shorter than the original cable for my phone, and the cables for my other devices are. However, I saw a similar charger on sale with a longer cable and more expensive price, if you prefer to pay extra for the extra length, and I also think that you can get around that by buying cable extenders. It can feel a bit annoying to have to have the multi charger cable charging so close to plugs and charging ports, so I tried out a few of the cable extenders that I had bought from Temu in the past to use to extend the multi charger cable, and they all worked as intended, so I'm probably going to use them with my 10 in 1 charger in the future.
I don't have all of the devices that the connectors are made for, so I can't test all the connectors to see if they all work, but most people seem to have had the multi charger cable work with the devices that they tried and use it on.
I think that the 10 in 1 charger is super-convenient and portable, saving you the trouble of having to manage so many different chargers for your different devices, and saving space during travels.
If you're strapped for cash and want a multi-purpose charger that is versatile enough to charge most of your electronic devices, and don't mind the short cable, then this is a very good, affordable option.
The product description said to please ensure that this product is compatible with your device model, power requirements, and interface type before purchasing, and to not use it in humid, high-temperature, or flammable environments.

Gem or Junk?
For us:
Gem (4 stars out of 5)
The 10 in 1 usb charger cable from Temu is super handy to have. I like that the 10 in 1 portable charger works with so many different devices, so that you don't need to go searching for different individual chargers all the time.
I don't like that it's pretty short, such that I have to put my devices so close to charging ports, which is a little inconvenient, but the convenience of having so many chargers in one kind of makes up for it. I might have bought the version of the multicharger cable with a longer cord if I had known that, but for the lower price that I paid for the 10 in 1 multi charger that I bought, I guess it makes up for it. I started using extender cables that I'd bought in the past with them to extend them, and they helped with the issue of their short length a lot.
I initially thought that the bright yellow version of the 10 in 1 charger looked kind of tacky, but its color has actually grown on me, and I think that I now prefer it to the black version. I think that the color looks cheery, and its brightness also makes it stand out, and makes the charger easier to find, so I recommend it if you have trouble finding things like I often do. In contrast, the black version will probably blend in with most other cords, but will probably match the color of your devices better, if you like matching the colors of your items with each other. I like that you have the two color options to choose from, based on your own preferences.
You can buy more than one 10 in 1 usb charger to put in multiple places (various charge points in the house, different vehicles, travel bags, etc.), and I like that I have more than one, so that I don't have to keep unplugging and moving it from room to room. They make great back-up chargers for phones and other devices.

Conclusion
I think that it's worth buying more than one of these 10 in 1 multi charger cables for multiple devices, to be able to place in different rooms around your house, carry with you when you travel, or give away to your loved ones. For example, I often forget to charge my phone, but use it to listen to music while I sleep, so I think that it's useful to keep one multi charger cable in my room, and another in the living room, so that I don't have to keep unplugging the usb multi charger, and moving it from room to room.
While they make not be the best back-up chargers for cell phones, since they don't work for iPhones and have pretty short cables, I think that they're an excellent-value back-up charger in general, for the price.
They're the kind of thing where when you see it, you probably want it, because it looks so useful and convenient.
It's definitely something that anyone can spot the value of immediately, as I even saw in a review of another person who had bought it from Temu that their cleaner had already stolen two of the ones that the reviewer had bought.
I checked and saw that it's way cheaper to buy the 10 in 1 charger cable on Temu than from Amazon or physical stores.
