What is the difference between the grey cable and the all black cable? Which one should I get for my Samsung Galaxy S4?

I believe the grey cable has two pins shorted together. This "tells" some phones that the phone is connected to a high current charger. Some phones will draw more current and charge quicker if they think they are connected to a high current charger. You want to consider both the charger and the device being charged.Different devices respond differently. I have a portable GPS which will not charge at all if it doesn't have the right cable.

Grey cable is for charging ONLY. You cannot use it as a data cable, but certain devices will charge faster with this cable because of how it is wired. The black cable is a standard USB cable and can be used for charging as well, but will not inherently support fast-charging unless the adapter and device both support it.

Definitely get THIS one. It allows the phone to charge faster. The data wires inside are used for charging instead, so it has twice the capability. (loses data transfer abilities though)

Not sure what the difference is, but I bought 2 coiled and one straight black one. The coiled is too tight of a coil, I love the the black straight one.

As I recall, when I researched this for my purchase, the gray cable if for charging only. The black is for charging as well as other data transfer. The black is not compatable with galaxy tab 3, I'm not sure about other galaxy products.

The Grey cable is larger, and stiffer. Great for harsh environments. The black cable is more flexible and is more than adequate for most uses. Both are great cables and charge with high currents. DennisB

Like others mentioned. This cable is only for charging. I Purchased 2 for 2 vehicles. In the past the slimmer cables would crack and break after long term use. This Cable feels very durable. I have the grey one and it works fine with the S3 and Nexus 7, and Nexus 4. I do not have an S4 to see if there is any difference in performance.

Your question doesn't make sense. I have bought more than one of these, and the version for the 4/4S only came with one cable. This too only comes with one cable. The cable end is too fat for many aftermarket cases, but is high quality otherwise.

This is all you should need. The 20 pin connector is what some older Samsung devices used. This includes the micro USB connector that you need to charge your S4 and Kindle Fire.

This is compatible with all versions of the Samsung Galaxy, including the Galaxy S4

The cable is better than what I got with my new Samsung Galaxy cell phone. I have had no problems and unless you pick it up by the cord you should have no problem. I connected mine to my Asus 10" tablet and keyboard. It is quiet and well designed. I am actually quite pleased with my purchase.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 with the Samsung wireless charging case (QI compatible) and it works great! It charges at 620 milliamps, which is a little faster than over usb charging on a computer and slower than plugging in the cable to the wall directly. I bought 2 - one for overnight charging and one for charging at work in the afternoon. There is only a dim blue light when you start charging, no beeps or noise.

That cable is for the first generation Galaxy phones. As Christopher said below me, you need an hdmi cable for your phone.

to be honest....& I work in the technology sector, I have no idea why the IOS version would make any difference, but the short answer is, I don't know. I will say this, I wouldn't recommend this or any other product Amazon sells of this kind of product, I've gone through 4 different brands of these now & all of them suck. I've not had one that lasted more than a couple uses. I'd be willing to pay MORE for one of these cables that actually worked for more than a couple uses.

Robert J. I installed a black replacement charging port in an iPhone 4. Not sure if the color makes a difference but more important is if the part is right for your model phone. Maybe double check with the seller. I googled images of the part to see if it matched what was in the phone then searched eBay and Amazon for the best price. Also, this part has circuit ribbon which folds into areas in the phone chassis. The ad pictures depict it as flat prior to installation. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You may, double check the model of your phone, and make sure it matches the OEM screen you are ordering. The connection cables are different lengths for different cellphone carriers. Just YouTube how to check your Samsung S4 model number before you order. Hope this helps.

That's silly that they said that. As it turns out, I have a black s4 as well, and it looks equally nice if not nicer. The case is clear, so actually it just smokes the color and the dark grey bumper looks nice with the black. So, we arent talking about insulting the color wheel here. All neutral dark greys and transparent backing looks very good against black. I think youll like it. Again, this case is very good. Hope that helped. Cheers!

Hi Ruby, I purchased this cable for my wife as a spare for her Samsung S5 smart phone. She leaves this cable at work for charging purposes. I just asked her your questions, and she told me she believes that this is an authentic Samsung product, but that this cable is shorter than the cable that came with her phone. I think I remember the packaging was Samsung, but I'm a little fuzzy on that memory to be honest, it's been a few months now. She says that this performs like the original cable. Hope this helps!

Yh. Both cables that it cones with work for both devices. But something that I found is that the cable might not work in all phones. For example the cable would not fit in correctly with a samsung galaxy s3 mini or a blu unless it's flipped around the other side and your not suppose to do that (for some unknown reason)

Just guessing that the black model is more popular as it won't show dirt?..so higher price works for Samsung.? Great pics!

It's got one of the slimmest connectors I've found, which is necessary for my G4 OtterBox. The only other cables I've been able to use are the Samsung OEM cable and the Kindle cable.

A micro USB type-B cable is what they use. It is the same type of cable that charges a samsung galaxy smart phone. I use mine for both. Hope that helps.
