That pretty much all mobile phones can now be charged with any charger.

My sister let me use her BB charger to charge my S2 and my mind was blown. I am charging my Nexus 4 with my S2 charger. They all have the same connection thingy, when did this happen?

It's fantastic; brilliant news.

They're not universal. Be careful if you use other chargers because you can break the tiny pins in the plug and in the phone's socket, and then it won't charge at all. And they won't cover that under a warranty either because it would be something you did to it. I would only recommend using the charger that came with the phone. You can buy replacements from your mobile retailer if you lost it.

I didn't lose it, I did it because the Samsung charger has a long cord and the Nexus charger is dead short. They have exactly the same ports, but I won't be doing it again.

Worst post ever.

They might have the same ports, but trust me, the tiny pins inside are minutely different.

Phone chargers might not be cross compatible, but apparently "suck" is.
