[00:02] Many influencers are heavily promoting this four-in-one cable from GM. But there is a big problem with this cable. Now, the quality of the cable is quite good. It is a braided cable and most importantly it is a magnetic cable.
[00:17] Also, it is a four in one cable. USB Type A is available. USB Type C is available. Lightning is available here. And here you get USB Type C. So And here you get USB Type C. So
[00:33] cable supports 100 watt charging. But still I would say you should not take it. Now see, its main problem is that it is a 70 watt power bank. Due to this, when I am charging the phone from Type C to Type C, the reading above 10 watts is
[00:47] not visible. Now look here, I am charging directly with the charger, so it is a 65 W charger. My phone supports 80W charging. Still here 10 W is showing the highest ratings. Now see, if it was a phone, it would charge at a very fast speed but the
[01:01] phone, it would charge at a very fast speed but the reading shows a maximum of 10 W and why should we pay ₹800 for it? We can also find other similar cables of the same brand on Amazon. It just doesn't have that magnetic. The quality is same and it does
[01:15] not have the feature of showing the reading. We are getting it for ₹429. So save your money ₹429. So save your money and get the same cable for ₹429.
