I was wondering how those new connectors were working in the real world.

Some of the new Android smartphones use a new type of fancy connector that allow you to easily insert the charge cord. Sounds great. Right ?? It has been my experience these "Type-C USB" cords fail faster than the older micro-USB. These cords start at $ 22 ( with tax ) at Best Buy. I would not recommend these phones to cavers who are very frugal. Meaning the LG G6. I also bet the connection inside the phone is just as cheesy, meaning avoid the cheap phones like ZTE and Alcatel that use this. I suspect that manufacturing the oval-like shape of the connector is difficult.
