@Jason O'Daniel You really should look into the relevant laws. RU-vid and such companies cannot be held legally responsible for content created by posters, including advertisers. Do you think that TV broadcasters are liable for advertisers' content? If that were the case every channel that hosted Ford Pinto ads would have also been sued. Use your head and do some actual research before you spout off on topics you know little about. BTW, your bank robbery scenario is a false equivalency. Look that up, too.
Thank you SO MUCH for shedding light on this absurd ad... I swear upon my first time viewing (quite literally a few minutes ago) my jaw DROPPED at how outrageous the misleading and untruthful claims are. The cherry on top is the bogus fear tactic claim that our phones are infected with (INSERT INTIMIDATING TECH SOUNDING BUZZ WORD HERE) ... Speaking for myself It feels nice to catch onto these kinds of things, but it makes me wonder how many other people get genuinely convinced with this kind of stuff. On a final note, you alleviated my urge to express my feelings on the ad and I once again thank you for shedding light on it for others to see.
Nice review! The after-vid ad I got was for Quick Charge Pro. Now it's MIT professors who developed it, and instead of metal wires it uses carbon nanotubes. Same snake oil.
Yep I found this video after seeing the same ad and I just had to research it after they claimed that regular electrical wires cause phone batteries to degrade. But nanotubes apparently would not 🤣 it doesn't matter what you use to charge your battery tbh, all rechargable batteries lose some capacity over the years. Totally ridiculous. Never mind the fact that nanotubes are nowhere near mass production and inexpensive civilian use
I’m here because I wasn’t able to make sense how a phone charger would also increase my internet speed. This is the reason why I’m always skeptical on every YT ad
Thank you!!!! I was about to buy that product and my gut said NO!!! Then I saw that they want you to INPUT your information on their website instead of getting the info from PayPal, that was a red flag to me, then found your video on RU-vid. Again, thank you!
I trusted RU-vid and I purchased two units and it charged my Samsung s20 note in only 4.5 hours!! What a scam, nothing in that ad is true! Wish I had viewed your channel before I bought it, very factual on your end...thank you! Not sure why RU-vid allows these ads and so you know after your video a ad came on for a German Kitchen Ad about male enhancement....what is RU-vid doing ,I guess Dollars before integrity!
The ads are ridiculous, but there's been so many of these old "conspiracy, they don't want you to know!" sorts of ads with bullshits devices, pills, creams, etc on RU-vid lately. RU-vid's become the new late night public access television channel.
I bought it when it was called the X pro charger and it took 10 hours to charge two devices. When you're not tech savvy and desperate you'll fall for anything, unfortunately, because that charger broke after a month of purchase. Thanks for helping those who would fall for this scam save their hard earn money.
I bought 2 of them and it broke my sons iPhone 13 and it almost broke my Samsung galaxy S22. My S22 just went black after charging it and it wouldn't turn back on. It eventually let me do a force restart, but the iPhone had the charging circuit (or microchip or whatever) was damaged and it wouldn't even turn on.
One of the best product reviews I've seen on RU-vid, thank you so much. I was thinking about buying this product because, like a lot of people, I do experience those annoying post update issues. I saw this ad on RU-vid, and it had stellar reviews on the ad page, but I always look for reviews in places other than the product's website, which I recommend by the way, and your video was very helpful.
I was actually about to buy this product before seeing this review. The ad popped up on youtube. Glad I looked to see what other people were saying first. Thank you! You earned a subscribe.
Thank you. Just got this ad an had an eyebrow raised the entire time. Such a blatant scam I had to see if people were talking about it. Cathartic to see someone break this down
Here's the thing your smartphone supports a certain amount of wattage input, which means no matter how fast the charger is your smartphone will not go faster than the supposed amount.
I saw this ad and became suspicious when this woman said phone companies are filing lawsuits to stop the ale of this charger. That is what all scammers say. So I searched and found your video. Thanks for exposing this scam. .
Thanks Jordan another money saver squashed! I get excited when I see these type of ads - everyone wants to save money and more convenience. But like the old saying goes, if it's too good to be true it probably is.
lol I really want to hunt this woman down - she really has some balls going public. I noticed today's version of the ad doesn't feature her - her life must be a living hell w lots of peeps finding her through image recognition & giving her slack!
Apple acknowledged in December that it had intentionally slowed iPhones with degraded batteries through software updates to avoid sudden shutdown problems, but denied it had ever done anything to intentionally shorten the life of a product. The company later apologised for its actions and reduced the cost of battery replacements. It also added battery health information to iOS and allowed users to turn off the slowing down of the iPhone’s processor.
Dear, Jordan you are the absolute best on sniffing out scammers out there!!! thanks again for the review and you also can back it up! no wounder why you have over 34k subscribers! thanks so much wait you know have a new subscriber make that 34,001 if i may speak on others behalf we need more true people like yoiur self 100% Respect Iceman👍
I saw this ad video and was very confused. They started with stuff that made me think they were going to try to market some software that could be used on jailbroken device. Then she started flashing around what looks like a charger... and I am staring at it at midnight going.... "Am I missing something? Isn't that a charger? A charger can't change programs, where is the part of it with the program?" At the same time I am pretty disconnected from the media so I am also trying to look up this whole scandal thing because I am like, "Shit when did I miss that?" Of course I find no one showing me how this is anything but a charger and nothing on a mass scandal. This innate desire to assume the best of people would really be kicking me in the ass if I wasn't also a skeptic that verifies everything. Anyhow, your video helped so I didn't keep looking trying to figure out 'where the non-charger part of this device was and the science on how that piece worked. My sleep deprived brain thanks you.
This was the ad that affirmed for me I will never entertain an unknown product advertised on RU-vid. Blatant and disrespectful. RU-vid allowing ads like this has to hurt the value of their ad space.
I bought the four pack offer. I was scammed. It took 2 hours to charge 50%. Ridiculous. So upset that I fell for this. I looked up several articles that confirmed it was legit but again, all bs.
I saw this ad on youtube, clicked on the link to check it out and saw that it was 50% off $64. When I clicked on the discount link it took me to the order page where if you bought one it was not $32 but $38 + 7.95 shipping, or buy two for $29 each ($58 total) with free shipping or buy four for $22 each ($88 total) also free shipping. Big red flag right there. I am definitely not a tech expert, but I am smart enough to be skeptical and cautious. The claim that it could fix your phone, make it faster, etc. sounded good and I didn't know how or if that can be done, but common sense told me to do some research. I found your video and glad I did, you clued me in and confirmed this is a scam. Thank you! While watching your video it occurred to me that they might have been trying to use subtle psychological persuasion by having an Asian woman as the spokesperson. It is well known that Japan is very advanced regarding technology, since a lot of tech items are developed and made there.
Thank you for this review and for keeping me safe from wasting money on this overpriced charger. Good point: she NEVER says her name. Great video thank you again!!!
I just now saw the ad pop up...then discovered your video. So many red flags I lost count!!. Right off the bat, even IF a device like this could charge your phone in 11(15min), from 0 to 100%, it would not be good for the battery!!...in fact the amount of heat that would generate would be alarming!. Notice how they make the point of, "THEY don't want YOU to have OUR AMAZING device, and if you don't buy NOW, we may not have any more!?!?!, due to BIG TECH shutting us down" !!. What a load of bollocks!!. For all the issues that do exist with "big tech", they have nothing to do with this scam. I will say that there is a difference between usb chargers out there. I've got an old Samsung S20+. With a Samsung charger it usually charges my phone from around 20% to 100% in around 2hrs+ ?, your millage may very. With a generic charger you pick up at the ralphs check out stand, it could take at least twice as long. that's significant, but not 11min significant!!. This un-named person hired by the un-named Co. really want us to believe this thing is the magic bullet that will save us thousands $$$ ???? I guess the BBB can't step in to put the kibosh on this BS ??
Worked for 3 weeks. I keep in a safe place. I am the only user. Plug in the wall, not charging. It sounds like something loose on inside. There is no way to contact the company. Don't purchase too good to be true. Learned the hard way.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Real talk.
Thank you very much for this review video! I've had this specific charger on my mind ever since it was first released a whole while back and until now I got the ad again and so I just decided why not check for reviews about this supposed "lightning fast charger." After coming to my realizations I wanted to thank you for this video because it saved me from not purchasing this scam of a product.
🤦🏾♀️I should’ve did this research BEFORE i spent close to $140 for this Dam charger! Now I’m looking to return it, and I’m realizing they don’t leave much of a trace to track down the purchase!! They don’t charge you under the company name! They don’t have a company name on the box! They don’t have any other email correspondence other than “thanks for your purchase(without mentioning a company name)” and a DHL shipping confirmation email with no mention of the product you purchased in either!! The charger IS NOT LIGHTENING FAST! Literally took all night to get a full charge on my table-same as regular charger!
Thank you for making this video. I knew it was too good to be true. There is not a charger out there that can fix your operating system. I had a friend that almost bought the charger and I had to stop her. Thanks again!
I bought this “quick charger”and it took 40 minutes to charge my iPhone! It’s a piece of junk and the people who sell it should go to jail for scamming so many people! Shame on RU-vid for allowing this company to sell their scam on RU-vid!!
Hopefully you can get your money back. Let's see what happens when you ask them to honor there no questions asked guarantee if it doesn't charge up in 11 minutes.
As soon as the ad said that theres a 90% chance my phone was already infected, i yelled bullshit at the TV and started searching for ways to report scam ads to RU-vid... But i couldn't really find any way to do it... Its easier to report scam videos and scam comments than scam ads.
How do they get away with these patently false claims about a simple charger somehow overriding operating system updates, defragmenting memory, etc.? Where is the Federal Trade Commission???
On a different version of the ad I just saw of the same product, it was some white professor-looking dude that invented the product. When it comes to battery charging, it is all regulated by the device's built-in power management system. That's why you can plug in a... 1,000W charger (as long as the voltage is 5V), and it won't burn up your phone, because of the power management system.
I watched an ad about an abs little exercising gadget. They claimed it was developed by a college student studying engineering and a top athlete. Ahahahaha, as I'm typing the comment, it popped up in your video. Well, I watched the exact same gadget, but instead of being developed by the student, it was developed by an armed forces special ops soldier engineer. The ad you are reviewing popped up after the abs one.
The ad was so outlandish I had to look into it. Oh, it hacks your apps and OS to make them work better, but you can trust it and it will still work after app updates. Oh, it has "AI" but they can't tell us anything about the model. Oh, they can't restock it because it's too good, better buy now. Oh, it looks exactly like a phone charger.
Their claim to charge a 4500mAH in 15 minutes is ridiculous. Each port says 3 Amps. At 3 Amps it would take 4.5 AHr/3A = 1.5 Hours to charge! To charge in 15 minutes it would take 4.5AHr/.25HR = 18 Amps. 18Amps would melt your USB cable in 1 minute.
SuperVooC charging comes close. The OnePlus 10T with their 150w ( 20V/7.5A)(20V 6.25A in the U.S) charger can charge the 5,000 mAH battery in the OnePlus 10T 18 minutes. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition (210W) is even faster, though not sure the mAH of that phone nor can I remember the V/A the charger calls for.
I don't like everything is always focused on the iPhone, but what about Android phones such as Samsung Galaxy? Also, most people don't need the most expensive flagship phone when a low/mid-range Android gets the job done. It is true that Apple did slow down older iPhones when a newer version of iOS was released. A good reason to use Android
They focus on iPhone users because iPhone users are tech illiterate gullible sheep. Someone who has a rooted Android phone is not going to fall for this scam
Sorry for the long explanation but i know from experience if i just said fast charging is bad people argue with me and i hate debating with idiots so i explained everything from the start: actually you can charge a battery fully in just one second using a car booster and charging cord: Cut the charge cord disgard the part you'd plug in the wall and expose the metal center of the cord part you kept. Put the car booster's clamps in thee exposed metal the cord and set it to max and boom instant charge! Yet now one recommends quick charge for your battery but dont tell you why. I learned this in mechanics: Every battery are basically a box of living acid and some positive and negative metal plates inside. The acid is what stores the electricity and it is feeding on the electricity to stay alive. However if you put too much electricity to fast, you will kill all the acid. Its like trying to force a human to dring a pool of water at once, the human needs water to live but too much too fast will kill the human. Or a cancle needs air to stay alight but too much air like a strong wind will kill the candle flame. Now acid is alot more resilient then a candle flame but it doesnt reproduce by itself, its a bacteria made by living organism so the ones that do die are dead forever and so if you charge the battery too fast all the time, you battery will have less and less acid alive to store the electricity. Meaning it wont last as long and the battery will die faster and faster until there are so little alive acid left that it cannot even power your phone anymore. If you use a weaker charge that takes longer to charge, your battery acid will live longer and therefor you wont need to change phones as often. In mechanic they teach you to use the lowest setting that takes from 12 to 24 hours to charge the battery. So never ever use any fast charging battery. - In other words, charging you phone faster like this will make you phane last less time and will make youbuy new phone faster so yes it is a scam and its worse then you think.
Thanks SOOOO much for this review!! I was watching the video a 2nd time after it first popped up so that I could take notes. I think that you hit on Everything I had noted. So, I won't repeat that here. lol. ... What a scam!?! ... Ads like this truly irritate me! All of the blatant lies! Thanks for this video. Keep up the good work! .... I think I'll hunt down one of the cheaper versions to see how well they "Smart Defrag" my phone! ;) ;) lol
I bought this product too, as I saw it as a RU-vid Ad. I thought if its on RU-vid it must be ok. I scanned the code took me to the website and I paid with PayPal. Unfortunately for them they charged me more then the price in the add, and I complained through PayPal. I was refunded all but about $10 (AU), but blow me down the product arrived today. I started looking for reviews on this product as I thought the claims may have been a scam, and came across your video. Maybe RU-vid should be careful about these sorts of ads. Cheers.
I remember when I bought one of these they also had a special off for buying a second one. I didn't go for it but when I saw the charge on my bank account they automatically added the additional charger. I tried the charger and discovered it was taking even longer to charge than my own charger. Tried calling them and the voice mail said to call between the hours of x and y. I tried several times to call between the hours of x and y and realized this was a total scam. Called my bank and reported what happened for a full refund on my account. I'm so sick and tired of all these scammers. Thanks for your informative video.
I came here after seeing an advertisement for "xcharge pro" a similar looking device. When I couldn't find the input and output power specifications I assumed it might not be much good. I cannot buy a charger unless I know the exact power specifications
37$? I found one at target for 15$ and it charged my iPhone from dead to 100 in an hour. 15$ lol Informative rant: I work in IT and I can GUARANTEE that this is a bunch of crap. If your phone is slow, check your network or get a better mesh network for your home. Me and my IT friends are laughing at the ridiculousness of this ad. Charging a phone THAT fast is absolutely DANGEROUS for the phone and the person. It makes the lithium ion battery age faster and has a higher chance of exploding. Heck if the charger struggles to pull power, clean the lint out of the port. Heck get some contact cleaner like deoxit. It's safe on tech, including in ports. Who throws around money to buy a phone every year? My iPhone 7 lasted 6+ years. I changed the battery once. If people want a "supercomputer " it's called a laptop or heck a desktop. Better yet get a gaming pc if you have money to toss around to replace an iPhone yearly.
I have been scammed too, and guess what? When I called the customer servi, e they told me that if you return the devices, you will have to pay the shipping and 15%of the original price or we have another option. We will refund you 50% and keep the devices. 😂
Thanks for your video ! You're saving money for people ! I wish somebody would do the same thing about all those ads that start out by saying they will reveal this simple trick that will save you from some heath problem but the pharmaceutical industry will soon take the ad off RU-vid and after you've watched the ad for about 25 minutes they don't show you any simple trick but try to sell you some pills. Many of these ads have a Brittish sounding commentator.
Because of stuff like this I never trust anything online. Before I pay I have to do so much research it's easier to just go to the brick and mortar. It used to be "if it seems to good to be true" but now the scam product costs as much or more than the real.
Hi Ethan. Happy to help out. I wish there were more people making these scam videos like I am. There are lots of scammers out there, but not so many people trying to help victims. Thanks for watching.
When I see ads on the internet and I’m interested in purchasing I always do a search for reviews, anywhere other than their own website and I have not found one thing yet that has glowing 5 star ratings, just like this so will not be purchasing. Thanks for taking the time to review so people like me don’t continue being ripped of buy buying useless items
The only way that charger will change anything in the phone is if the charger itself has a mini computer with a software on it to upload to your phone while charging it
These are actually available for $2.50 on ebay, incl shipping, recently bought several there. The pic shows a euro plug but you can select the USA option. Decent charger for that price, but not of these cheap chargers are ever qc3, even tho they all claim to be. They also don't last as long as name brand ones, although I usually get a couple years out of them. Probably are also more likely to cause a fire, I try to unplug when not in use. This ad was infuriating and is indicative of what happens when 25% of the country spends their evenings wallowing in conspiratorial fantasies.
Every video that sells cheap Chinese products uses the SAME backstory: "So-and-so worked for one of the leading [insert product category here] companies, but took exception to the company doing [insert negative practice here] so they went off on their on and developed this thing which will revolutionize the industry." They always say that everyone and their dog is trying to ban it or get it off the market (which is NEVER true), and that "we're going to sell x units at 50% off just to get it into consumers' hands." I've seen at least a dozen such videos (most of them computer narrated and featuring attractive-but-nerdy-looking actor/models) featuring everything from drones to flashlights to binoculars to cell phone chargers to SSD/HDD-to-USB interfaces to Linux-on-a-thumb-drive "Super-Speed your laptop" solutions. These are ALWAYS products you can get elsewhere at HALF the price they're charging or less, and the websites for the advertised products NEVER have ANY company information on them - no company name, no address, no (working) phone number, no email address... nothing - so, good luck with your "100% Money-Back Guarantee"!
They really need to ban advertisements like this already. It is a pure obvious scam period ban them and anyone that put misleading advertisements like this.
Again, thanks for the review... Site claims 15 minutes vs 11 minutes in the video at about 1:07 in (when you paused it) Is there a POTENTIAL for a software payload in the device?
