While Apple may consider removing the headphone jack from the iPhone to be a ‘brave’ thing to do, what was braver is adopting the Android OS back in 2007 when not many used to. However, as the numbers started raking up with more brands adopting Google’s version of Android over time, the big names in the business like Samsung finally jumped in.

14. AmazonBasics Double Braided Nylon USB Type-C Cable
While the power adapter that you get out of the box with the Galaxy Note 9 is Qualcomm Quick Certified and robust, the cable is just not as durable or long as you’d want.
